arXiv:2603.15633v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Answering complex first-order logic (FOL) queries on knowledge graphs is essential for reasoning. Symbolic methods offer interpretability but struggle with incomplete graphs, while neural approaches generalize better but lack transparency. Neural-symbolic models aim to integrate both strengths but often fail to capture the hierarchical structure of logical queries, limiting their […]
Proactive Rejection and Grounded Execution: A Dual-Stage Intent Analysis Paradigm for Safe and Efficient AIoT Smart Homes
arXiv:2603.16207v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) transition from information providers to embodied agents in the Internet of Things (IoT), they face significant challenges regarding reliability and interaction efficiency. Direct execution of LLM-generated commands often leads to entity hallucinations (e.g., trying to control non-existent devices). Meanwhile, existing iterative frameworks (e.g., SAGE) suffer […]
NeSy-Route: A Neuro-Symbolic Benchmark for Constrained Route Planning in Remote Sensing
arXiv:2603.16307v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Remote sensing underpins crucial applications such as disaster relief and ecological field surveys, where systems must understand complex scenes and constraints and make reliable decisions. Current remote-sensing benchmarks mainly focus on evaluating perception and reasoning capabilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs). They fail to assess planning capability, stemming either […]
Follow the Clues, Frame the Truth: Hybrid-evidential Deductive Reasoning in Open-Vocabulary Multimodal Emotion Recognition
arXiv:2603.16463v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-Vocabulary Multimodal Emotion Recognition (OV-MER) is inherently challenging due to the ambiguity of equivocal multimodal cues, which often stem from distinct unobserved situational dynamics. While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offer extensive semantic coverage, their performance is often bottlenecked by premature commitment to dominant data priors, resulting in suboptimal heuristics […]
Runtime Governance for AI Agents: Policies on Paths
arXiv:2603.16586v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents — systems that plan, reason, and act using large language models — produce non-deterministic, path-dependent behavior that cannot be fully governed at design time, where with governed we mean striking the right balance between as high as possible successful task completion rate and the legal, data-breach, reputational and […]
Differential Harm Propensity in Personalized LLM Agents: The Curious Case of Mental Health Disclosure
arXiv:2603.16734v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as tool-using agents, shifting safety concerns from harmful text generation to harmful task completion. Deployed systems often condition on user profiles or persistent memory, yet agent safety evaluations typically ignore personalization signals. To address this gap, we investigated how mental health disclosure, a […]
Surg$Sigma$: A Spectrum of Large-Scale Multimodal Data and Foundation Models for Surgical Intelligence
arXiv:2603.16822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Surgical intelligence has the potential to improve the safety and consistency of surgical care, yet most existing surgical AI frameworks remain task-specific and struggle to generalize across procedures and institutions. Although multimodal foundation models, particularly multimodal large language models, have demonstrated strong cross-task capabilities across various medical domains, their advancement […]
POaaS: Minimal-Edit Prompt Optimization as a Service to Lift Accuracy and Cut Hallucinations on On-Device sLLMs
arXiv:2603.16045v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Small language models (sLLMs) are increasingly deployed on-device, where imperfect user prompts–typos, unclear intent, or missing context–can trigger factual errors and hallucinations. Existing automatic prompt optimization (APO) methods were designed for large cloud LLMs and rely on search that often produces long, structured instructions; when executed under an on-device constraint […]
VIGIL: Towards Edge-Extended Agentic AI for Enterprise IT Support
arXiv:2603.16110v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise IT support is constrained by heterogeneous devices, evolving policies, and long-tail failure modes that are difficult to resolve centrally. We present VIGIL, an edge-extended agentic AI system that deploys desktop-resident agents to perform situated diagnosis, retrieval over enterprise knowledge, and policy-governed remediation directly on user devices with explicit consent […]
TPMM: Three-component Posterior Mixture Model Enables Robust Inverton Detection in Low-Depth Metagenomes and Suggests Potential Viral Invertons
arXiv:2603.16194v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bacterial phase variation enables reversible, locus-specific phenotypic switching, often driven by DNA inversion (invertons). To identify these events, researchers commonly rely on sequencing reads that provide orientation-specific support. Metagenomic sequencing, which captures total genetic material independent of cultivation, offers a powerful platform for the comprehensive study of invertons. However, computational […]
Adaptive Theory of Mind for LLM-based Multi-Agent Coordination
arXiv:2603.16264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Theory of Mind (ToM) refers to the ability to reason about others’ mental states, and higher-order ToM involves considering that others also possess their own ToM. Equipping large language model (LLM)-driven agents with ToM has long been considered to improve their coordination in multiagent collaborative tasks. However, we find that […]
FactorEngine: A Program-level Knowledge-Infused Factor Mining Framework for Quantitative Investment
arXiv:2603.16365v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study alpha factor mining, the automated discovery of predictive signals from noisy, non-stationary market data-under a practical requirement that mined factors be directly executable and auditable, and that the discovery process remain computationally tractable at scale. Existing symbolic approaches are limited by bounded expressiveness, while neural forecasters often trade […]
