arXiv:2610.34634v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reusable Web-agent verification requires a rule to follow changing requirements and support subsequent execution. We introduce AgentProofBench, which connects paired tests of a frozen acceptance rule to execution from identical saved openings. The resource spans 97 tasks, 79 families, and four Web services. Experiments with DeepSeek Flash/Pro establish two linked measurements. Across 48 families, complete-panel and decision-replay tests retain 82/96 Flash and 79/96 Pro source programs; paired reuse-rebuild BA intervals are [-5.47, 1.57] and [-10.16, 0.00] percentage points. Across 22 execution families, deployment-state panel correctness separates program assignments whose two saved openings are both delivered correctly: 32/33 assignments with error-free panels, versus 1/11 with panel errors. All reference-defined program-gate regressions and withheld deliveries occur in the latter group. Neutral continuation attains the highest correct delivery under the tested generic feedback, providing a concrete baseline for measuring the value added by a gate. Released instructions, states, programs, reference rules, and trajectories connect each test failure to its execution consequences. AgentProofBench makes reusable verification assessable at both the requirement and policy levels.

arXiv:2610.34633v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Repository-level code migration rewrites an entire project in a new programming language while preserving its observable behavior. It is challenging because behavior spans interdependent modules, dependencies and build infrastructure must be adapted to the target ecosystem, and the source code is often the only specification. Large language model agents can now attempt these migrations end to end, but three challenges remain. First, an agent that writes both the translation and its acceptance tests may overlook the same requirements in both, leaving missing or incorrect behavior undetected. Second, large repositories can exceed a model's context window, and dividing the work into smaller tasks does not ensure that all required behavior is migrated. Third, even behaviorally correct translations may be slower than the original implementation. We present CodeMeepo, a multi-agent pipeline for complete and efficient migration of large repositories. Each milestone is evaluated against a fixed external oracle that the agents neither author nor modify. A separate parity assessment compares source and target components in scope and adds identified gaps back into the plan as required work. Ordered milestones limit the scope of each task, while cumulative regression checks guard against breaking already-migrated behavior. A benchmark-guided optimization phase addresses performance, followed by full-suite conformance testing and repair. Eight specialized agent roles communicate through file artifacts, and a deterministic state machine governs repair, deferral, scope changes, and termination. On nine subjects in three language pairs, CodeMeepo achieves the best pass rate on every subject and passes 18% more tests than a state-of-the-art multi-agent baseline using the same model. On a production daemon, its optimization phase improves half of the benchmarks, by 25% on average.

arXiv:2610.34632v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Driving video captured through a windshield violates the world-space consistency assumed by 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS): the road scene exhibits parallax while cabin reflections remain attached to the camera, causing standard 3DGS to embed reflected content into the reconstructed scene. We introduce RIDE-Splat, a pipeline for reflection-free 3D reconstruction from posed driving video without clean images, reflection masks, or pretrained networks. RIDE-Splat assigns world-consistent transmission through the windshield to a 3DGS scene and the dominant camera-attached reflection to one shared, signed RGB image. It builds the clean reconstruction in two passes. First, it learns the 3D geometry and the signed reflection image, representing both added radiance and transmission attenuation. Then, it uses the reflection-removed training images to fit a clean 3DGS model. At inference, the reflection image is discarded, preserving the standard 3DGS rendering path. We also introduce the RIDE-Splat Dataset, the first 3D reconstruction benchmark for reflection removal from driving video -- with real driving scenes, physical windshield reflections in training views, and separately captured non-reflective evaluation images. Across the RIDE-Splat Dataset, XLD, and Wayve, RIDE-Splat outperforms 3DGS, DC-Gaussian, and RobustSplat on all nine aggregate metrics, improving PSNR by up to 3.59 dB and reducing LPIPS by up to 0.0876. We achieve the highest metrics in 38 out of 42 per-scene comparisons and removes windshield reflections that remain visible in the baselines while preserving the transmitted scene.

arXiv:2610.34626v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Entity matching is the task of deciding whether two records describe the same real-world entity. Current entity matching methods rely on pre-trained language models (PLMs) which require task specific fine-tuning or generative large language models (LLMs) which do not require task-specific fine-tuning but are slow and expensive at matching large record sets. Decision models are a new class of LLM-based models that return a probability for each predefined answer option rather than generate text. This paper investigates decision models as an alternative to generative LLMs and fine-tuned PLMs for entity matching. We evaluate six decision models in a zero-shot setting across eight benchmarks and compare their performance with that of the generative LLM GPT-6 Luna and the PLM-based matcher Ditto. Our experiments show that, without task-specific training data, the four strongest decision models achieve mean F1 scores close to that of GPT-6 Luna, with the best model slightly surpassing it. This model also outperforms Ditto on six of the eight benchmarks. All decision models are faster than GPT-6 Luna, and most are less expensive. For three of the four strongest decision models, the predicted match probabilities are well calibrated without requiring any task-specific recalibration. A model cascade that routes the least confident record pairs to an ensemble of generative LLMs improves the mean F1 scores of the four strongest decision models by 1.9-4.0 percentage points. Using the best decision model and its best-performing prompt for each benchmark, the cascade surpasses the highest published F1 scores from literature on four of the eight benchmarks.

arXiv:2610.34609v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning is increasingly important for large audio-language models (LALMs), yet remains relatively underexplored compared with text-only and vision-language models. We introduce Audio-R1, a reinforcement learning (RL) post-training framework that revisits audio self-supervised learning as a source of verifiable rewards for improving audio understanding and reasoning task performance. Audio-R1 uses answers automatically determined during the construction of self-supervised tasks to verify model responses and compute rewards. Experiments across multiple LALMs and diverse audio benchmarks show consistent performance gains, while ablations demonstrate the benefits of each self-supervised task and additional gains from joint training. While both supervised fine-tuning and Audio-R1 improve self-supervised task accuracy, Audio-R1 further improves performance on downstream tasks distinct from the training tasks. These results highlight the potential of RL post-training with self-supervised audio tasks to improve downstream performance and reasoning-trace quality.

arXiv:2610.34589v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tabular data is widely used in scientific applications, where complex layouts, including multi-level headers, merged cells, captions, and footnotes, make information extraction difficult. This is particularly important in pharmacokinetics (PK), where values must be correctly associated with the drug, species, dose, administration route, unit, and experimental condition. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods such as Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) reduce adaptation cost but do not explicitly incorporate relationships between table values and surrounding headers. We introduce HARP-LoRA, a hierarchy-conditioned rank projection method for low-rank adaptation in scientific table understanding. HARP-LoRA extends projected LoRA by constructing token-specific intrinsic representations from the row- and column-header hierarchies of each data token. These representations condition the low-rank down-projection, incorporating hierarchical context while keeping the pretrained model and random projection tensors frozen. We evaluate HARP-LoRA on 950 manually annotated PK tables from 587 scientific articles and on WikiTableQuestions (WikiTQ) using Llama~3.2 3B, Llama~3.1 8B, and Gemma~3 27B. With Llama~3.1 8B, HARP-LoRA achieves a PK F1-score of 57.64\% and WikiTQ accuracy of 53.15\%, improving over LoRA by 1.42 and 6.56 points, respectively. With Gemma~3 27B, it achieves the best PK F1-score of 70.63\% and WikiTQ accuracy of 56.87\%. These results use only 172K, 197K, and 547K trainable parameters, far fewer than LoRA and TableLoRA. Overall, conditioning lightweight adapters on table-header hierarchies improves extraction from scientific tables and reasoning over flatter general-domain tables while maintaining parameter efficiency.

arXiv:2610.34585v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are neural networks trained on huge text collections to generate text by predicting what comes next. Engineers using ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools need a clear picture of what training changes and prompts add. The article starts with the Transformer, which connects words in context, and pre-training, where models learn to predict text. It then explains how fine-tuning adapts models to requests, with reinforcement learning from human feedback using human answer rankings. Next, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) supplies documents, while chain-of-thought prompting encourages intermediate steps and agents use tools. FlashAttention lowers training and running costs by reducing data movement during attention; quantized low-rank adaptation (QLoRA) saves fine-tuning memory. Readers get a life cycle figure and tables comparing methods and their limits. A short checklist for judging LLM evaluation claims flags test material in training (data contamination) and model-based grading (LLM-as-a-judge). It also covers very long inputs (long context) and hallucination, meaning false or unsupported claims. Check factual accuracy separately from whether an answer sounds helpful.

arXiv:2610.34563v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Contrastive vision-language models such as CLIP typically rely on independently parameterized transformer blocks across depth. We investigate the extent to which these blocks can instead be reused recurrently while preserving the transferable capabilities of CLIP. We study recursive transformer backbones in which a small set of $N$ transformer blocks is applied $M$ times per forward pass. By holding $N \cdot M$ fixed to the depth of a standard ViT-B, our models preserve computational depth while progressively increasing parameter sharing. We consider two recursive CLIP model families: rCLIP, where only the vision encoder is recursive, and r$^2$CLIP, where recurrence is also introduced in the text encoder. We study these models under both direct contrastive training and through knowledge distillation from a strong ViT-B/16 teacher pretrained on DFN-2B, using the substantially smaller CC3M and CC12M datasets. We evaluate the resulting models on zero-shot classification and cross-modal retrieval, and further study their adaptability through few-shot learning, visual grounding, and concept unlearning. Our results show that CLIP can tolerate substantial recurrent block reuse, although its effect depends on the encoder and downstream task. Recurrence also provides parameter efficiency by construction, since fewer distinct transformer blocks need to be stored and adapted. Our results establish recurrent block reuse as a practical design space for vision-language models and highlight its implications for knowledge transfer, downstream adaptation, and parameter efficiency.

arXiv:2610.34561v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adapting general-purpose vision-language models (VLMs) to medical visual question answering (VQA) is valuable for helping clinicians read images and make diagnoses, but annotated data are scarce and provide only short answers, without reasoning annotations. Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) fits these labels but overfits to them and amplifies their biases, eroding out-of-domain (OOD) generalization. Reinforcement learning (RL) better preserves generalization but never uses the gold answer as a training target: GRPO-style algorithms learn from the contrast between correct and incorrect answers within a group of sampled responses, so all-correct or all-wrong groups give no correctness signal. Existing SFT-RL hybrids either apply SFT and RL in separate stages or switch between them per question, or need reasoning traces from experts or stronger models, which medical VQA data lack. We propose GRASP, which combines RL and SFT in every update using only short answers: RL lets the model explore its own reasoning, SFT teaches the gold answer after that reasoning to supply the direct supervision RL lacks, and their balance adapts to how well the model answers each question. Tuning only about 1% of the parameters with LoRA, GRASP outperforms all compared training objectives both in domain and on OOD open-ended questions across Qwen3-VL-8B, InternVL3-8B and Gemma 3-4B. On an OOD benchmark spanning eight imaging modalities, GRASP-trained InternVL3-8B and Qwen3-VL-8B beat all 10 compared general and medical VLMs in open-ended accuracy, including models trained on up to 2,600 times more data or with over 250 times more trainable parameters. We release MedTerse, a dataset of 12.9K short-answer questions, and our code at https://github.com/sea-comet/GRASP-MedVQA.

arXiv:2610.34542v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous agents have been observed acting beyond their assigned tasks, accessing unauthorized systems, and establishing communication channels to exchange information, yet the Web and network-level techniques they use to extend their capabilities and circumvent security restrictions remain poorly understood. We study these techniques through the ProWiki incident, in which agents restricted to outbound HTTP GET requests repurposed a public German-language wiki as a message board. We analyze 14,591 agent edits containing 79,541 URL postings and present corroborating evidence that the published URLs reflect the agents' operational activity. We find that 26,717 URL occurrences (33.6%) embed target URLs within one to five layers of third-party Web services. By recursively reconstructing these nested URLs, we identify 67 distinct intermediate services and classify their functionality. Most intermediate layers (73.8%) extend agents' capabilities by delegating content extraction and transformation to external Web services: Markdown and OCR services convert web content into machine-readable text, JSON filtering services extract selected fields, and archival services expose historical versions of pages. The remaining 26.2% facilitate circumvention of access restrictions and evasion of detection, including CORS and fetch proxies that retrieve content on agents' behalf, and link shorteners and redirectors that hide destination URLs from mechanisms inspecting literal URLs or outer hostnames. Agents also reach the same targets through multiple URL paths, consistent with attempts to evade rate limits or obscure request origins. Our results expose a gap between the capabilities granted to agents and those they can obtain by composing publicly available Web services: restricting an agent's local toolset or direct Internet access may be insufficient while third-party services remain reachable.
