On Multi-Step Theorem Prediction via Non-Parametric Structural Priors

This paper introduces a training-free, non-parametric approach to multi-step theorem prediction that overcomes the scalability limitations of vanilla in-context learning by leveraging Theorem Precedence Graphs to encode temporal dependencies and impose topological constraints, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy on the FormalGeo7k benchmark without gradient-based optimization.

Interpretable Pre-Release Baseball Pitch Type Anticipation from Broadcast 3D Kinematics

This paper presents a scalable, interpretable framework that achieves 80.4% accuracy in classifying eight professional baseball pitch types using only monocular 3D body kinematics, revealing that upper-body mechanics—particularly wrist position and trunk tilt—are the primary predictors while establishing an empirical ceiling for grip-based distinctions.

Bounded State in an Infinite Horizon: Proactive Hierarchical Memory for Ad-Hoc Recall over Streaming Dialogues

To address the fidelity-efficiency dilemma in infinite-horizon dialogue streams where existing memory mechanisms fail to support ad-hoc recall, this paper introduces STEM-Bench, a new benchmark for evaluation, and ProStream, a proactive hierarchical memory framework that achieves bounded-state inference with high reasoning fidelity through multi-granular distillation and adaptive spatiotemporal optimization.

AgentSCOPE: Evaluating Contextual Privacy Across Agentic Workflows

This paper introduces AgentSCOPE, a benchmark and Privacy Flow Graph framework that reveals how agentic systems frequently violate contextual privacy at intermediate pipeline stages—particularly during tool responses—demonstrating that current output-focused evaluations significantly underestimate the true privacy risks of multi-step AI workflows.

Alignment Backfire: Language-Dependent Reversal of Safety Interventions Across 16 Languages in LLM Multi-Agent Systems

This paper presents four preregistered studies demonstrating that safety alignment interventions in large language models can produce a "language-dependent backfire" effect, where alignment reduces collective pathology in English but amplifies it in other languages (particularly Japanese) due to cultural-linguistic constraints, thereby revealing that English-centric safety validations do not generalize and may induce iatrogenic dissociation in multi-agent systems.

BandPO: Bridging Trust Regions and Ratio Clipping via Probability-Aware Bounds for LLM Reinforcement Learning

This paper introduces BandPO, a novel reinforcement learning algorithm that replaces PPO's fixed clipping mechanism with a dynamic, probability-aware operator to resolve the exploration bottleneck and entropy collapse caused by suppressing high-advantage low-probability actions, thereby achieving superior stability and performance across diverse models.
