Topological Data Analysis for Real-Time Process Monitoring

A new method combines topological data analysis and machine learning to monitor high-dimensional dynamic processes. It represents time-series data as manifolds, uses topological descriptors to capture structure, and employs neural ordinary differential equations to model dynamic evolution. The approach effectively detects diverse events in industrial process data and outperforms reconstruction-based and trajectory-based alternatives.

Riemannian Sharpness Explains SGD's Bias Toward Flat Minima

This study introduces Riemannian sharpness, a reparametrization-invariant measure of flatness grounded in Fisher Information Matrix geometry. It proves SGD's stationary distribution concentrates at Riemannian-flat minima and links this geometric bias to generalization via a PAC-Bayes bound. Experiments on MNIST and CIFAR-10 show Riemannian sharpness better tracks generalization than Euclidean sharpness, with scaling consistent with theory.

Marginal Advantage Accumulation for Memory-Driven Agent Self-Evolution

This paper introduces Marginal Advantage Accumulation (MAA), a post-processing architecture that addresses cross-batch inconsistency in memory-driven agent self-evolution. MAA formalizes alignment and comparability as structural conditions, uses differential signals and exponential moving average to accumulate signed evidence per operation, and ensures traceability via semantic identity merging. It outperforms batch-level baselines in 14 out of 16 settings and reduces token consumption by about 75%.

How Safety-Aligned LLMs Interpret Mixed Compliance Demonstrations

A study finds benign and harmful compliance demonstrations are not interchangeable in language models. Benign demonstrations can either reduce or increase harmful compliance depending on the model, with preference optimization playing a key role in preventing harmful compliance. The research also reveals recency bias in demonstration ordering and varied model behaviors in handling refusals during in-context learning.

Probe-and-Refine Tuning Improves Coding Agent Performance

A new method called probe-and-refine tuning uses synthetic bug-fix probes to iteratively improve repository guidance files with single-shot LLM calls, without agent loops or tool use. On SWE-bench Verified, it achieves a 33.0% mean resolve rate—14.5 percentage points higher than the initial static knowledge base—showing improved coverage rather than patch precision. The method enables agents to use larger step budgets effectively, and performance remains stable across models when diagnostic output is sufficient.

Sovereign Execution Broker for Certificate-Bound Agentic Control

The Sovereign Execution Broker (SEB) introduces a runtime enforcement boundary that verifies and executes certified authority in agentic systems. It ensures production mutation authority is isolated from non-deterministic reasoning by validating execution contracts, validity windows, and revocation states before invoking infrastructure APIs. The prototype demonstrates secure, auditable execution on AWS and Kubernetes with measurable latency and fault resilience.

Execution-State Capsules for Low-Latency On-Device AI Serving

Execution-state capsules enable graph-bound checkpointing and restoration of complete execution state, including KV, recurrent, and convolution states, for low-latency, small-batch on-device AI serving. On RTX 5090 and Jetson AGX Thor, capsule restore achieves byte-exact and token-identical correctness, with sub-millisecond GPU operations and TTFT speedups up to 27x at 16k tokens, demonstrating significant latency reduction in interactive AI workflows.
