LegalHalluLens: Auditing Hallucinations in Legal AI

LegalHalluLens introduces a framework to audit AI hallucinations in legal contexts by analyzing typed hallucination profiles across four claim categories. It reveals a 38-40 point gap between obligation/numeric and temporal claims, and shows two systems with identical 52% hallucination rates can have opposite risk directions. The framework uses a Risk Direction Index and calibrated debate pipelines to reduce fabricated detections by 45% and improve accountability in legal AI deployment.

ProvenanceGuard: Source-Aware Factuality Verification for MCP-Based LLM Agents

ProvenanceGuard introduces a source-aware verifier for MCP-based LLM agents that detects cross-source conflation by routing claims to specific evidence sources and comparing stated attribution with actual source ownership. It achieves block F1 of 0.802 and source accuracy of 0.858 on 260 source-eligible claims, outperforming source-blind baselines, and detects all injected attribution swaps in 50 clinical probes.

ScaFE: Using LLMs to Extract Clinically Meaningful Scar Features

ScaFE proposes using large language models as feature engineers to transform medical images into clinically interpretable representations. By generating deterministic Python code from established scar assessment criteria, it extracts features aligned with clinical scoring systems like the Vancouver Scar Scale. The method achieves superior performance under limited data, with advantages in data efficiency, privacy preservation, and interpretability.

Agentic AI Framework Reduces Diagnostic Errors in Healthcare

A multi-agent AI framework addresses premature diagnostic handoff and silent hallucinations in healthcare by enforcing structured clinical protocol completion and epistemic uncertainty quantification. Evaluations on 150 simulated cases show 49.3% diagnostic precision, an 11.3 percentage point improvement over baseline, with a statistically significant negative correlation between OLDCARTS completeness and diagnostic uncertainty.

Learning Fair Pareto-Optimal Policies in Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces a framework for multi-policy multi-objective reinforcement learning that learns a set of Pareto-optimal policies ensuring fairness across diverse user preferences. It proves fair policies remain within the convex coverage set for concave welfare functions like GGF and proposes three algorithms that incorporate non-stationary and stochastic policies to adapt to historical inequities. Empirical results show these methods effectively learn fair policies across multiple domains.

Introducing COGNITIVE ATROPHY BENCH for LLM Mental-Health Interactions

A new benchmark, COGNITIVE ATROSPHY BENCH, measures how LLMs induce cognitive decline in mental-health conversations. Built from 1,576 human-generated counseling sessions and evaluated by clinical experts, it identifies patterns like directive advice and validation that may reduce user autonomy. The tool introduces metrics such as UIRI and ARI to assess atrophy risk and track behavioral trajectories across user interactions.

Meta-Knowledge Reutilization in Reinforcement Learning

A new framework learns task-level knowledge on a simplified agent and transfers it to heterogeneous agents. It uses Bayesian non-parametric priors and a high-level policy to generate task guidance, with a semantic-magnitude interface and temporal adaptor to align meta-knowledge with embodiment-specific controllers. Experiments show 94.75% to 99.79% reduction in final-step tracking error and comparable performance using 23.8% of the interaction data of state-of-the-art methods.

Flash Endurance as Depreciating Capital in Robot Memory

A robot's flash memory endurance is a non-renewable asset that degrades with each write. A wear-aware pricing model introduces a shadow price $η$ to guide memory placement across RAM, NVM, and cloud, with optimal routing depending on the value-write association $χ$. Empirical measurements show $χ$ is positive in long-horizon manipulation, null in short-horizon tasks, and negative in teleoperation, and the endurance budget is binding only on low-end QLC/eMMC memory, where wear-aware control influences routing based on task value without improving performance.
