IdeaLens: Detecting AI Ideas in Long-form Writing

While modern AI detectors identify who wrote the words, emerging policies on AI use increasingly hinge on a different question: who came up with the ideas? We introduce IdeaLens, a detector that identifies whether a document's ideas came from a human or AI (idea provenance), regardless of who wrote its words. To focus IdeaLens on ideas rather than prose, we represent documents as outlines: lists of items that each pair a discourse role with a brief, paraphrased description of the content, minimizing word-level overlap with the raw text. We train IdeaLens on 1M FineWeb documents with silver labels from Pangram, a prose provenance detector. Since the outlines are largely stripped of surface-level information, the labels must be fit mainly through the ideas. In a controlled study, IdeaLens's AI flag rate drops from 95% to 7% as models write from increasingly detailed human plans, while Pangram 4 still flags 92%; from AI-derived plans, IdeaLens stays above 96%. Conversely, on a new dataset of 50 stories that human authors wrote from AI-generated plans, IdeaLens flags 68% of the stories as AI, compared to 8% for Pangram 4. On a comprehensive suite of 19 existing detection benchmarks, we show that IdeaLens maintains strong detection rates at low false positive rates, suggesting that ideas themselves provide a powerful discriminative signal, and its performance holds across domains, formats, and languages. Finally, we examine 90K predictions from IdeaLens to characterize systematic differences between human and AI ideation. We release our models and labeled datasets to facilitate future research on idea provenance detection.

Conditional Rank Allocation for Taxonomy-Aware Medical Language Model Adaptation

Medical question answering spans specialties and clinical operations that may benefit from different adaptation directions. We propose ARBOR, a parameter-efficient method that selects rank-one components from a shared low-rank basis for each question. An additive gate combines question representations, specialty tags, operation tags, and their interaction; a learned coefficient scales the adapter residual. An illustrative separation under orthogonal, equiprobable subtasks shows how conditional selection can avoid an approximation floor faced by a fixed update with the same active rank. This result motivates the design without asserting a corresponding bound for medical corpora. On Qwen3-8B across CMB, CMExam, MedQA, and MedMCQA, five-seed experiments yield 69.69% mean accuracy across benchmarks, exceeding LoRA r16 and MoELoRA by 1.26 and 1.30 percentage points, respectively. The reported advantage over LoRA r16 increases from 0.08 to 1.94 points as training expands from one to seven specialties. Tag perturbations and atom masking support the usefulness of clinical routing, while atom clusters align with the supplied specialty labels (adjusted Rand index 0.62). Calibration, transfer, and measured costs further characterize the method. These findings support structured conditional adaptation for medical QA, while leaving clinical safety and broader deployment untested.

BazaarBench: Delegation Safety in Decentralized C2C Marketplaces Run by LLM Agents

In decentralized consumer-to-consumer (C2C) marketplaces, people list goods, negotiate with strangers, and rate one another, so trust rests on reputation. Large language model (LLM) agents now act for users, raising risks to their money, privacy, and reputation. We introduce BazaarBench, a simulated C2C marketplace and benchmark for evaluating the safety of these agents. It tracks ownership, item condition, and commitments across transactions, combining record checks with rubric-based LLM judgments to identify six failure types across five stages. We run three base markets for 30 simulated days, each with 100 agents using one model and inventories drawn from a public eBay sample. Across 45 continuations, we evaluate five models under ordinary instructions, deadline pressure, or adversarial instructions to exploit other traders. Each continuation runs for seven simulated days from a copy of a market's day-30 state. The tested model controls the same 20 selected agents, retaining their personas, inventories, and histories, while the other 80 keep the base model. All five models attempt to promise the same item to multiple buyers under ordinary instructions. Adding targets and deadlines increases these attempts for every model. Under adversarial instructions, the share of tested sellers' committed transactions completed despite unavailable items or overstated conditions rises from 15.4% to 33.4%, reaching 55.5% for GPT-5.4. Averaged across models and markets, simulated weekly earnings per tested agent rise from USD 20 under ordinary instructions to USD 33 under adversarial instructions. Most of the increase comes from items the sellers never held. We release the simulator, saved market states, evaluation code, and records covering 357,608 agent model calls for evaluating new models and developing safer marketplace agents.

Reading the Mood: Emotion-Guided Book-to-Music Recommendation via CGANs and LLMs

Background music that matches the mood of a text has been shown to make readers feel more immersed and improve their reading experience, motivating recommender systems that pair books with mood-matched music. In this direction, we present Sentiment Aware Generative Adversarial Network for Cross Domain Recommendation (SAGA-CDR), a two-phase cross-domain recommendation framework that personalizes music suggestions and emotionally aligns them with the book being read. In the first phase, transformer-based sentiment embeddings are constructed from user reviews and mapped across domains via a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network, whose mask-conditioned generator handles missing sentiment components and injects stochasticity for richer preference transfer. A compact rating neural network then fuses sentiment-specific interaction scores with a collaborative filtering prior to predict music ratings. In the second phase, large language models classify each book into a valence-arousal emotional quadrant, and candidate tracks are filtered to match that quadrant. Experiments on both the English Amazon and Chinese Douban datasets show that SAGA-CDR achieves the best rating prediction accuracy on Amazon (RMSE 0.98) and the lowest RMSE on Douban (0.91), with ranking performance competitive with the strongest sentiment-aware baseline, even in cross-lingual settings.

Programmatic Search Agents: Extending Agentic Search Beyond Query Reformulation

Search agents adapt their queries, yet fixed search interfaces leave candidate processing and evidence presentation outside the agent's direct control. Our trajectory analysis shows that supporting passages can be retrieved yet never delivered to the agent; a same-page oracle intervention shows that changing the returned evidence can reduce subsequent search. We introduce Programmatic Search Agent (PSA), which makes a local executable computation over candidates the unit of a search action. PSA unifies a persistent candidate workspace, flexible primitive composition, and selective evidence presentation. It incrementally generates program cells that reuse candidates, execute dependent operations, and select what the agent inspects next. The runtime resolves specified data dependencies within each cell, while the agent adapts its search strategy across cells as new evidence arrives. We compare PSA with the Query-based Agent and Tool-based Agent on InfoSeek-Eval and BrowseComp-Plus using five policy backbones without task-specific training. All three interfaces share the search substrate, and the Tool-based Agent also shares PSA's primitives and persistent workspace. Relative to the Query-based Agent, PSA improves macro-averaged task success by 4.00 and 7.56 percentage points on the two benchmarks, respectively; within-backbone reductions in final-step tokens average 28.3% and 33.9%. These results support extending agent control beyond query reformulation to the processing and presentation of retrieved evidence. Code will be released subject to approval.

Aligning Multimodal Patient Evidence with Biomedical Knowledge Graphs for Clinical LLMs

Clinical questions often depend on linking a patient's multimodal evidence to external biomedical knowledge, yet existing predictive systems rarely represent such links explicitly, so they can neither be traced to their evidence sources nor removed to measure their contributions. We present MM-KG (Multimodal Knowledge Graph), which represents heterogeneous, multimodal patient observations and biomedical concepts as separate layers in one typed graph, joined by explicit alignment edges. First, modality-specific harmonizers convert EHR text, imaging, genomic, and biospecimen data into typed observations mapped to UMLS concepts, which a route-prioritized aligner links to a biomedical knowledge graph. Query-conditioned retrieval then selects a compact subgraph for downstream use by a large language model or a graph neural network. We build MM-KGs for MIMIC-IV and ADNI, and evaluate them with a 2x2 design that separates patient evidence, biomedical knowledge, and their interaction. On questions that require both sources, neither source alone performs far above chance, whereas their combination yields a drug-controlled AUROC interaction of +0.194 on MIMIC and +0.299 on ADNI. On held-out five-candidate ranking, MM-KG outperforms MindMap by +0.131 Hits@1 and leads an adapted GraphCare on the items that require consulting the patient, and deleting the single answer-bearing relation from the retrieved packet returns Hits@1 to the no-knowledge baseline. Finally, query-conditioned retrieval reaches 0.731 AUROC with 6.8x less context than the strongest generic policy, whereas static knowledge graph context gives no consistent gain on ordinary outcome prediction. Knowledge graphs thus benefit clinical LLMs not as background context but as explicit links between multimodal patient evidence and the relation a question requires, and MM-KG makes these links retrievable, traceable, and testable.

Off-Policy Merging Beats On-Policy Self-Distillation for Continual Learning

A long-standing goal of AI is a model that can continually learn and improve itself. On post-trained models, supervised finetuning (SFT) on new data often causes poor generalization and catastrophic forgetting. As such, the conventional wisdom is that on-policy training is a prerequisite for continual learning. In practice, however, data containing new knowledge or capabilities are often off-policy. While methods such as on-policy self-distillation (OPSD) try to bridge this gap by converting off-policy data into on-policy signal, they have been shown to cause reasoning collapse. In this paper, we show that off-policy merging beats OPSD for continual learning. We first show that SFT learns a useful signal from new data, but naively applying its update interferes with existing capabilities. We reduce this interference with a simple recipe we term grafting, which changes where the update is learned and how it is applied: (1) learning the update on an earlier donor checkpoint, ideally even before the end of pretraining, and applying the weight update to the post-trained model; (2) scaling the weight update, equivalent to a form of model merging; and (3) optionally, masking the most sensitive update directions when the new data distribution is far from the post-trained model. Across continual learning settings including (1) distilling from expert traces, (2) self-improvement with STaR and Pedagogical RL, and (3) injecting knowledge after pretraining cutoff, grafting Pareto-dominates both SFT and OPSD in new-task and old-task performance, while avoiding expensive on-policy sampling. Therefore, our work challenges on-policy training as a necessity for continual learning on RL-trained models.

Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning for Collision-Free Locomotion of an Underactuated Biped

A bipedal robot cannot deviate from its path to avoid an obstacle without disturbing its balance, and this coupling is most severe on underactuated platforms such as the biped considered here, which has four actuated joints per leg and no hip or ankle roll. This paper presents a Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL) framework in which a High-Level (HL) policy observes the robot pose, 36 raycast proximity measurements, moving-obstacle states, and a receding-horizon local goal, and outputs a body-velocity command (v_x, v_y, ω_{yaw}) every ten control steps, while a velocity-conditioned Low-Level (LL) policy tracks each command through PD-controlled joint targets. Both policies are trained jointly with Soft Actor-Critic (SAC). Because the converged gait is task-agnostic, it is frozen and driven by classical planners over the same command interface, yielding three controlled baselines: SAC+A*, SAC+RRT*, and SAC+APF. Across 100 evaluation trials per method in randomized PyBullet environments, the proposed method reaches the goal in 98.0% of static and 88.0% of dynamic trials, against at most 78.0% and 68.0% for the planner hybrids, with path lengths within 4% of the A* reference, and ablations confirm that each observation channel and reward term contributes materially to this performance.

CACFG: Curvature-Aware Classifier-Free Guidance and Optimal Control

Diffusion models generate samples by learning to reverse a fixed corruption process, and classifier-free guidance (CFG) is the standard mechanism for conditioning this process on a desired class or prompt. CFG can be applied at varying guidance strengths, and while higher strengths improve image quality and conditional alignment, too high a guidance strength can degrade image quality and diversity. Furthermore, CFG violates principled diffusion sampling dynamics, and existing explanations for why it works despite the violation disagree on the underlying theory or do not extend to deterministic samplers used in practice. We address both these issues. We first frame CFG sampling as a continuous-time optimal control problem, treating the sampling trajectory as a sequence of controls chosen to maximise the probability of the desired condition. Solving the resulting Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equation shows that CFG is recovered under specific path costs when using an unconstrained control set. We argue this lack of constraint is responsible for CFG's failure at high guidance strengths, since it permits the sampling path to move arbitrarily far from the current image estimate. To fix this, we propose curvature-aware CFG (CACFG), which constrains the control set to a hypersphere informed by the Gaussian regularisation used when training variational autoencoders. We show that the control inputs produced by CFG sampling routinely violate this bound, and that across diffusion models, datasets, and guidance schedules, CACFG achieves superior generative quality at mid-to-high guidance strengths with a less severe quality-diversity tradeoff than regular CFG.

AnchorPose for Geometry-Aware MOF Assembly through Meso-Grained Pose Generation

Predicting metal-organic framework (MOF) structures from given building blocks requires recovering their positions and orientations in a periodic crystal. The spatial effects of rotation errors are geometry-dependent and anisotropic. The same angular error can produce different atomic displacements depending on block size, shape, and rotation axis. Angular error alone, without reference to the specific block geometry, therefore cannot fully describe the spatial consequences of a pose error. We introduce AnchorPose, a meso-grained pose generation framework that incorporates this geometric dependence into its generative representation. It represents each block through a small set of representative atoms, combines their local geometry with the current spatial state, and generates their coordinates with Bayesian Flow Networks. Known atom correspondences enable rigid alignment to recover complete building-block poses and return geometrically consistent points to the generation process. This design connects point-level spatial prediction with block-level structural constraints. Geometry participates in the pose state and its prediction, while rigid reconstruction preserves intra-block structure without treating all atomic coordinates as assembly variables. On the MOF benchmark, AnchorPose improves single-candidate match rates over the compared block-level and all-atom baselines.

Adaptive-Shot Hybrid Quantum Anomaly Detection for Tactile Internet Security: Reliability-Aware Measurement Allocation Under Resource Constraints

Tactile Internet (TI) security analytics must balance reliable thresholded decisions with constrained computational and measurement resources. We study this tension for finite-shot hybrid quantum anomaly inference and introduce the Adaptive-Shot Variational Quantum Circuit (AS-VQC) policy. This validation-calibrated policy begins each record at 128 shots and cumulatively escalates through 256, 512, and 1024 shots only when the finite-shot anomaly score remains close to a validation-selected security threshold. The quantum scorer is evaluated as an off-path security analytics component rather than part of the haptic critical path. Using a 4,875-record CESNET-TimeSeries24-derived aggregate-flow benchmark, leakage-safe random, entity-group-disjoint, and temporal holdouts, and five trained quantum neural network (QNN) checkpoints per holdout, the primary AS-VQC-95 (beta = 0.95) policy averages 129.2, 276.9, and 131.2 shots per record, saving 87.4%, 73.0%, and 87.2% of the uniform 1024-shot baseline (Fixed-1024), respectively. The decision disagreement with analytic (exact-expectation) inference is 0.771%, 0.409%, and 0.635%, lower than both the uniform 128-shot baseline (Fixed-128) and a matched-budget shuffled-allocation control. Fixed-1024 remains more decision-stable, establishing a measurable reliability-resource trade-off rather than cost-free equivalence. A more conservative AS-VQC-99 (beta = 0.99) further reduces disagreement while using fewer than 512 average shots across all holdouts. These results show that finite quantum measurements can be treated as an inference resource and concentrated on boundary-sensitive TI-security decisions while exposing checkpoint-dependent escalation under unseen-entity conditions.

Request Order Matters: Cache-History Sensitivity in Selective KV-Cache Reuse for Rolling Agents

Long-running agents repeatedly call an LLM while retaining most of their document window, evicting old documents, and appending new ones. These rolling updates break exact prefix caching and motivate non-prefix KV-cache reuse with selective recomputation. We show that persistent KV-cache reuse with selective recomputation can be history-dependent: in our rolling-agent workload, an unchanged prompt can produce different answers depending on the requests processed before it. At a matched 5% recomputation budget, document-aligned recomputation reduces answer variation across request orders from 69.0% with CacheBlend's token top-k policy to 26.1%. When each prompt is evaluated after a different sequence of preceding requests, document-aligned recomputation improves fidelity to full prefill by 34.5-52.5 percentage points over token top-k, while both policies achieve approximately 5.7median TTFT speedup. Our ablation study shows that, in our rolling-agent workload, contiguity is the main factor associated with robust selective recomputation.

Data-Driven Personas for Survey Simulation: Insights into Simulation Alignment Across Data-Access Regimes

However, many existing steering approaches rely on target-domain human data for fine-tuning or prompting that is costly to collect and raises privacy concerns. In this paper, we study demographic group-level survey simulation, where personas induced from heterogeneous, anonymized public behavioral data condition agents that simulate responses of individuals from specific demographic groups. We examine whether representative personas can be induced from diverse sources and analyze how the domain, scale, and granularity of the source data affect survey simulation alignment. We find that personas induced from out-of-domain sources rarely outperform simulations conditioned only on basic demographic information, largely due to population mismatch. However, when personas are accurately assigned to the target demographic groups, alignment improves substantially. Finally, personas induced from target-domain survey data generalize better as more survey question history becomes available, suggesting that richer behavioral evidence enables more stable persona trait inference that transfers to better unseen questions simulation alignment.
