arXiv:2604.15334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The exponential growth of AI education has brought millions of learners to online platforms, yet this massive scale has simultaneously exposed critical pedagogical shortcomings. Traditional video-based instruction, while cost-effective and scalable, demonstrates systematic failures in both sustaining learner engagement and facilitating the deep conceptual mastery essential for AI literacy. We present a pilot study evaluating a novel hybrid learning platform that integrates real-time conversational AI tutors with traditional video lectures. Our controlled experiment […]

arXiv:2603.12463v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With digital learning environments becoming more prevalent, the ease with which generative AI enables the scalable production of real-time, automated feedback holds the potential to reshape learning and teaching experiences. This meeting report synthesizes the interdisciplinary perspectives of 50 scholars from educational psychology, computer science, science education, and the learning sciences on the use of generative AI for feedback and its promises and risks in educational practice. We highlight points of convergence in […]

Embodied robotic systems increasingly rely on large language model (LLM)-based agents to support high-level reasoning, planning, and decision-making during interactions with the environment. However, invoking LLM reasoning introduces substantial computational latency and resource overhead, which can interrupt action execution and reduce system reliability. Excessive reasoning may delay actions, while insufficient reasoning often leads to incorrect decisions and task failures. This raises a fundamental question for embodied agents: when should the agent reason, and when should it act? In […]

arXiv:2602.17684v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has driven recent progress in code large language models by leveraging execution-based feedback from unit tests, but its scalability is fundamentally constrained by the availability and reliability of high-quality test cases. We propose CodeScaler, an execution-free reward model designed to scale both reinforcement learning training and test-time inference for code generation. CodeScaler is trained on carefully curated preference data derived from verified code problems and incorporates syntax-aware […]

arXiv:2602.08185v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Discriminative Random Walks (DRWs) are a simple yet powerful tool for semi-supervised node classification, but their theoretical foundations remain fragmentary. We revisit DRWs through the lens of information geometry, treating the family of class-specific hitting-time laws on an absorbing Markov chain as a statistical manifold. Starting from a log-linear edge-weight model, we derive closed-form expressions for the hitting-time probability mass function, its full moment hierarchy, and the observed Fisher information. The Fisher matrix […]

Digital transformation has become a boardroom priority across industries, yet many organizations continue to struggle with a less visible challenge: sustaining growth after cloud adoption. While cloud technologies have enabled businesses to innovate faster and scale globally, they have also introduced new complexities around operational efficiency, governance, cost management, and platform reliability. As organizations mature, technology leaders often discover that growth creates a new set of constraints. Cloud expenditure rises faster than expected, microservices become increasingly difficult to […]
