It feels as if it should be illegal to even think about heating appliances during the height of summer—seriously, these heat waves in New York have been brutal—but we need to talk about heat pumps. The appliances use electricity for heating, they’re incredibly efficient, and they’re on the rise....
Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs are sharing our joint approach to bioresilience and AI models.
arXiv:2607.13037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When a data contributor requests removal, model trainers face a practical gap: unlearning algorithms require a forget set, yet no tool can locate which training records belong to a given author. Existing provenance systems operate at file or dataset...
arXiv:2607.13049v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation models have given robots a sophisticated brain for complex decision-making, yet deploying that intelligence into a physical platform still demands tedious, expert-driven calibration. This deployment gap, the robot's spinal cord, remains a...
arXiv:2607.13069v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models produce chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning that appears logically sound yet may not genuinely depend on its stated premises. We introduce interventional grounding audits, a black-box, step-level test of premise dependency: we...
arXiv:2607.13073v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neuro-symbolic AI based on $IFOL_B$ is a way to combine neural learning and symbolic reasoning to overcome limitations of purely neural systems (like lack of interpretability and logical structure) with formal logical machinery for self-reference. In...
arXiv:2607.13104v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-improving autonomous agents are moving from research prototypes to deployed systems. The primary goal is controllable evolution, or adaptation, from experience with minimal or even no human input. This survey frames modern self-improving agents...

arXiv:2607.13042v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper traces, with explicit numerical values, how PyTorch's automatic differentiation (AD) engine computes gradients for Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) training -- a setting that requires two levels of differentiation: computing the...

arXiv:2607.13043v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning models achieve state-of-the-art image classification but face deployment challenges due to computational costs and energy demands. We propose a lightweight training strategy that adapts normalization layers of the model to the new domain...

arXiv:2607.13045v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a key paradigm for privacy-preserving collaborative model training across distributed and heterogeneous data sources. By keeping raw data local, FL addresses data confidentiality concerns, yet it does not resolve...

arXiv:2607.13046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We develop a framework for the information discarded by machine learning models whose inputs carry a Lie group action. Given a representation $\pi$ of a Lie group $G$ on a space $V$ and a learned function $f\colon V \to \mathbb{R}$, we define two...

arXiv:2607.13047v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Parameter decomposition (PD) decomposes neural networks into interpretable computational components that faithfully reflect the original network's operations. However, scaling PD to large models requires vast compute, making it a costly and risky...
arXiv:2607.13035v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cloud services experience frequent incidents that require rapid diagnosis and resolution. Troubleshooting guides help engineers respond consistently, but creating them manually is labor-intensive, resulting in incomplete coverage and outdated...
arXiv:2607.13036v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for decision support in healthcare, but clinical evidence is often incomplete or evolving. When the available information is insufficient to support a reliable answer, models should request...
arXiv:2607.13044v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The European Patent Office (EPO) reported record filings in 2025, and the 2026 EPO Guidelines hold applicants strictly responsible for LLM-assisted content under Article 83 and Rule 42, creating pressure to triage suspected AI-generated patent text....
arXiv:2607.13158v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) requires incremental translation under strict latency constraints, yet remains challenging for decoder-only LLM systems due to limited context and cross-lingual reordering. Recent approaches often introduce...
arXiv:2607.13162v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: What a language model will and will not do is largely set during post-training, but which behaviors it expresses, hides, or resists is not revealed by prompting alone. Persona vectors, behavioral directions in activation space, can probe this...
OpenAI has built an LLM super-hacker called GPT-Red that it uses as a sparring partner to help its other models boost their defenses against cyberattacks. Last week the company released the latest version of its flagship LLM, GPT-5.6. OpenAI says that training it against GPT-Red made the model its...
