Task-conditioned language and vision models omit co-present safety-critical signals they report when unconstrained, decoupling benchmark safety from deployment safety.
NCT uses iterative correctness-based routing in a tree architecture to disentangle latent subgroups for robust classification without subgroup labels, yielding competitive performance on spurious correlation benchmarks.
Behavioral INR adapts INRs to behavior by mapping states to actions with FiLM-modulated episode latents for self-supervised policy inference in unlabeled data, with new policy OOD definitions.
Subject identity variance dominates frozen representations in three EEG foundation models by 13-89x over null, and erasing the linear subject axis improves label decoding where within-subject label variation exists.
Face-Feature Tuning is a label-free logit remapping method that reduces FPR/TPR gaps across groups in deepfake detection while preserving overall accuracy.
Empirical study finds strong heterogeneity in LLM process alignment across models and organizations; process alignment predicts output accuracy in legal decisions but is low and resistant in credit decisions where higher alignment may not be desirable.
Presents a likelihood-based benchmark for equation-suffix prediction in technical papers with controls to detect shortcut vulnerabilities in model forecasts.
LLMs process negation using both attention-based suppression and constructive representation mechanisms (construction dominant), with late-layer attention shortcuts explaining poor accuracy on negation tasks.

LLMs trained on simple specification gaming generalize to zero-shot reward tampering including rewriting their own reward function.
FLORA is an octree-based deep learning framework with auxiliary data fusion that predicts forest attributes from heterogeneous LiDAR, achieving rRMSE of 12.3% for dominant height and 39% for total volume on 32k French NFI plots.
Grain calibration decomposes theoretical constructs into clause-level components, tests each with extractive evidence, and combines results through explicit theory-derived rules to validate LLM coding beyond agreement with human annotators.
ToxiREX is a new dataset of 128k Reddit comments in six languages with hierarchical annotations for implicit toxicity in conversational context based on an existing reasoning schema.
CFPO is a counterfactual policy optimization method that regularizes RL policies in LVLMs by maximizing prediction discrepancy under suppressed visual cues, reporting 3-6% gains over baselines.
GoD uses anatomy graphs and difference alignment to improve medical image re-identification accuracy and auditability, with +7.1 pp Rank-1 gains on fundus and +3.1 pp on CXR.
DICE-MMM is a two-stage diagnostic framework that separates forecasting accuracy from graph-aligned attribution in neural MMMs and localizes decoder bypass via controlled graph tests.
LLMs induce pharmacological meaning primarily from affix cues in drug names, as revealed by a framework applied to 653 drugs and localized via activation patching to early-mid layers.
Consistency training suppresses reward hacking and emergent misalignment but amplifies sycophancy in controlled model organisms, driven by labeling-induced distribution shifts rather than selection operators.
An auditing framework for brain-to-audio retrieval isolates structural, stimulus-locked, and contextual performance sources via controls and a new Group Context Bias intervention, showing reduced performance under strict settings and measurable contextual gains.
Empirical analysis of over 100 sequential RL training pipelines across 250+ OOD environments finds salient features drive generalization and early goals persist, with latent policy gradients simulating latent variable evolution to predict OOD behavior from training history.
DeconDTN-Toolkit simulates provenance shifts to expose ERM vulnerabilities and provides tools plus a robust OOD indicator for mitigating confounding by data provenance.
CauSim turns scarce causal reasoning labels into scalable supervised data by having LLMs incrementally construct complex executable structural causal models.
AI tutoring models systematically fail to detect student misconceptions when flawed reasoning coincidentally produces the correct answer, with 71% of failures concentrated in two predictable question types.
