Directional Concentration Uncertainty: A representational approach to uncertainty quantification for generative models
arXiv:2602.13264v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In the critical task of making generative models trustworthy and robust, methods for Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) have begun to show encouraging potential. However, many of these methods rely on rigid heuristics that fail to generalize across tasks...
BLUEPRINT Rebuilding a Legacy: Multimodal Retrieval for Complex Engineering Drawings and Documents
arXiv:2602.13345v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Decades of engineering drawings and technical records remain locked in legacy archives with inconsistent or missing metadata, making retrieval difficult and often manual. We present Blueprint, a layout-aware multimodal retrieval system designed for la...
Exploring the Performance of ML/DL Architectures on the MNIST-1D Dataset
arXiv:2602.13348v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Small datasets like MNIST have historically been instrumental in advancing machine learning research by providing a controlled environment for rapid experimentation and model evaluation. However, their simplicity often limits their utility for disting...
The Speed-up Factor: A Quantitative Multi-Iteration Active Learning Performance Metric
arXiv:2602.13359v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Machine learning models excel with abundant annotated data, but annotation is often costly and time-intensive. Active learning (AL) aims to improve the performance-to-annotation ratio by using query methods (QMs) to iteratively select the most informa...
Accelerated Discovery of Cryoprotectant Cocktails via Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization
arXiv:2602.13398v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Designing cryoprotectant agent (CPA) cocktails for vitrification is challenging because formulations must be concentrated enough to suppress ice formation yet non-toxic enough to preserve cell viability. This tradeoff creates a large, multi-objective ...
Agentic AI for Commercial Insurance Underwriting with Adversarial Self-Critique
arXiv:2602.13213v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Commercial insurance underwriting is a labor-intensive process that requires manual review of extensive documentation to assess risk and determine policy pricing. While AI offers substantial efficiency improvements, existing solutions lack comprehensi...
BotzoneBench: Scalable LLM Evaluation via Graded AI Anchors

When to Think Fast and Slow? AMOR: Entropy-Based Metacognitive Gate for Dynamic SSM-Attention Switching
arXiv:2602.13215v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Transformers allocate uniform computation to every position, regardless of difficulty. State Space Models (SSMs) offer efficient alternatives but struggle with precise information retrieval over a long horizon. Inspired by dual-process theories of cog...
VeRA: Verified Reasoning Data Augmentation at Scale
arXiv:2602.13217v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The main issue with most evaluation schemes today is their "static" nature: the same problems are reused repeatedly, allowing for memorization, format exploitation, and eventual saturation. To measure genuine AI progress, we need evaluation that is ro...
Scaling the Scaling Logic: Agentic Meta-Synthesis of Logic Reasoning
arXiv:2602.13218v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Scaling verifiable training signals remains a key bottleneck for Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards (RLVR). Logical reasoning is a natural substrate: constraints are formal and answers are programmatically checkable. However, prior synthes...
How can we trust the correctness of a learned model on a particular input of interest? Model accuracy is typically measured on average over a distribution of inputs, giving no guarantee for any fixed input. This paper proposes a theoretically-founded solution to this problem: to train Self-Proving m...
