arXiv:2602.15857v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The analysis of public opinion from multiple heterogeneous sources presents significant challenges due to structural differences, semantic variations, and platform-specific biases. This paper introduces a novel Collaborative Reasoning and Adaptive Fusion (CRAF) framework that systematically integrates traditional feature-based methods with large language models (LLMs) through a structured multi-stage reasoning mechanism. Our approach features four key innovations: (1) a cross-platform collaborative attention module that aligns semantic representations while preserving source-specific characteristics, (2) a hierarchical […]

arXiv:2603.28944v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is understood to affect the content of people’s decisions. Here, using a behavioral implementation of the classic Newcomb’s paradox in 1,305 participants, we show that AI can also change how people decide. In this paradigm, belief in predictive authority can lead individuals to constrain decision-making, forgoing a guaranteed reward. Over 40% of participants treated AI as such a predictive authority. This significantly increased the odds of forgoing the guaranteed reward […]

arXiv:2603.28807v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based multi-agent systems (MASs) are transforming personal productivity by autonomously executing complex, cross-platform tasks. Frameworks such as OpenClaw demonstrate the potential of locally deployed agents integrated with personal data and services, but this autonomy introduces significant safety and security risks. Unintended actions from LLM reasoning failures can cause irreversible harm, while prompt injection attacks may exfiltrate credentials or compromise the system. Our analysis shows that 36.4% of OpenClaw’s built-in skills pose high or […]

If I asked a hundred people to define twenty words, no two persons would give identical definitions for all twenty. If each word has just three possible interpretations (the actual number is far higher), that’s 3^20 = 3.4 billion possible combinations. Your definition of “intelligence” was shaped by every smart and stupid person you’ve met, every test you’ve taken, every moment you felt quick or slow. Mine was shaped by different people, different tests, different moments. When you […]

arXiv:2601.05586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural networks have shown state-of-the-art performances in various classification and regression tasks. Rectified linear units (ReLU) are often used as activation functions for the hidden layers in a neural network model. In this article, we establish the connection between the Poisson hyperplane processes (PHP) and two-layer ReLU neural networks. We show that the PHP with a Gaussian prior is an alternative probabilistic representation to a two-layer ReLU neural network. In addition, we show […]

arXiv:2510.25005v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Most counterfactual inference frameworks traditionally assume acyclic structural causal models (SCMs), i.e. directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). However, many real-world systems (e.g. biological systems) contain feedback loops or cyclic dependencies that violate acyclicity. In this work, we study counterfactual inference in cyclic SCMs under shift-scale interventions, i.e., soft, policy-style changes that rescale and/or shift a variable’s mechanism.

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) achieve explicit chain-of-thought expansion by imitating deep thinking behaviors of humans, demonstrating excellent performance in complex task scenarios. However, the deep-thinking mode often leads to unnecessarily lengthy reasoning and resource inefficiency when handling simple tasks. This overthinking phenomenon may arise from the generation preference triggered by the reward function during post-training. Existing research attempts to mitigate overthinking from the perspective of prompt design or model training, but generally underestimates the importance of task difficulty […]
