MemKD: Memory-Discrepancy Knowledge Distillation for Efficient Time Series Classification
arXiv:2601.04264v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Deep learning models, particularly recurrent neural networks and their variants, such as long short-term memory, have significantly advanced time series data analysis. These models capture complex, sequential patterns in time series, enabling real-tim...
Formal Analysis of AGI Decision-Theoretic Models and the Confrontation Question
arXiv:2601.04234v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) may face a confrontation question: under what conditions would a rationally self-interested AGI choose to seize power or eliminate human control (a confrontation) rather than remain cooperative? We formalize this ...
Actively Obtaining Environmental Feedback for Autonomous Action Evaluation Without Predefined Measurements
arXiv:2601.04235v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Obtaining reliable feedback from the environment is a fundamental capability for intelligent agents to evaluate the correctness of their actions and to accumulate reusable knowledge. However, most existing approaches rely on predefined measurements or...
SAGE-32B: Agentic Reasoning via Iterative Distillation
arXiv:2601.04237v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We demonstrate SAGE-32B, a 32 billion parameter language model that focuses on agentic reasoning and long range planning tasks. Unlike chat models that aim for general conversation fluency, SAGE-32B is designed to operate in an agentic loop, emphasizi...
arXiv:2601.04239v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The Cyclic Antibandwidth Problem (CABP), a variant of the Antibandwidth Problem, is an NP-hard graph labeling problem with numerous applications. Despite significant research efforts, existing state-of-the-art approaches for CABP are exclusively heuri...
Pretraining with Hierarchical Memories: Separating Long-Tail and Common Knowledge
The impressive performance gains of modern language models currently rely on scaling parameters: larger models store more world knowledge and reason better. Yet compressing all world knowledge into parameters is unnecessary, as only a fraction is used per prompt, and impractical for edge devices wit...
Which Evaluation for Which Model? A Taxonomy for Speech Model Assessment
Speech foundation models have recently achieved remarkable capabilities across a wide range of tasks. However, their evaluation remains disjointed across tasks and model types. Different models excel at distinct aspects of speech processing and thus require different evaluation protocols. This paper...
AgentBuilder: Exploring Scaffolds for Prototyping User Experiences of Interface Agents
Interface agents powered by generative AI models (referred to as “agents”) can automate actions based on user commands. An important aspect of developing agents is their user experience (i.e., agent experience). There is a growing need to provide scaffolds for a broader set of individuals beyond AI ...
