Our prior work built a multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system over an authentic machine learning course corpus (Foundations of Machine Learning) and found that…

arXiv:2609.25254v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Analyzing neuroimaging data requires specialized coding and statistical expertise, which limits accessibility for researchers without computational backgrounds. We present the AI Neuroscientist, a language agent for interactive data exploration. The system integrates a large language model (LLM) with a neuroimaging toolset to perform quality control, modeling, and…

arXiv:2609.25284v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A social agent’s most basic decisions (should I react to this post? who should I reach out to?) are not purely content problems. The right action often hinges on the latent relationship between people — tie strength, reciprocity, mutual connections — rather than on which content is most salient. Standard LLM agent loops do not explicitly represent how new…

arXiv:2609.25187v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Task planning bridges high-level instructions and executable behavior in long-horizon manipulation, yet modern Vision-Language-Action (VLA) systems often leave this intermediate structure implicit. Existing chain-of-thought (CoT) planners also tend to rely on coarse task-level annotations or serialize long reasoning traces token by token. We present X-Planner, a…
