Treat a paper as a claim to examine: identify the task, test data, baseline and failure cases. A preprint is not the same as peer-reviewed evidence, and a benchmark improvement may not transfer to your setting.
arXiv:2610.19025v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern image generation largely relies on specialized generative models that leave the process of image construction implicit in learned parameters. We explore an alternative: general-purpose coding agents that construct images through executable programs.
arXiv:2610.19021v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work has questioned whether large language models (LLMs) can be useful for temporal event prediction. Despite vast pretrained world knowledge, LLMs often underperform simpler specialized models. We ask whether this knowledge is truly inaccessible, or whether current methods fail to present event prediction in a form LLMs can use.
arXiv:2610.19487v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mandlebrot's coastline paradox reframes measurement as a joint property of an object and its ruler. Here we ask how observational resolution shapes the apparent structure of neural computation. We introduce a scale-indexed decomposition that separates the predictive information captured by direct dependencies from the residual outside that model family.
arXiv:2610.18889v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Estimating (heterogeneous) treatment effects is still challenging when the outcome is semicontinuous (i.e., exhibiting both a discrete point mass at zero and a skewed continuous distribution for positive values), despite the strong presence of this data type in real world settings.
arXiv:2610.14146v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon terminal benchmarks measure whether an agent can sustain progress through extended workflows with process rewards, not only whether its final state passes a binary check. We present Long-Horizon-Terminal-Bench 2.0 (LHTB 2.0), an extension of Long-Horizon-Terminal-Bench that preserves its 46 original tasks while correcting task and evaluation-infrastructure…
arXiv:2610.19028v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Science fiction is widely credited with unsettling gender. This article asks whether that holds at the linguistic level, in how readily gendered reference gives way to its counterpart, a neutral term, or other social category, and whether it separates the genre from general fiction.
arXiv:2610.14136v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: Iterative sampling in diffusion models can lead to error accumulation due to exposure bias. The denoiser is trained on real images interpolated with noise, but at inference its inputs are constructed from its own imperfect predictions from the earlier steps, something it has never seen at training time.
