Self-Attribution Bias: When AI Monitors Go Easy on Themselves

This paper identifies "self-attribution bias" in agentic systems, demonstrating that language model monitors are significantly less likely to flag high-risk or low-quality actions when evaluating their own previously generated outputs compared to identical actions presented by a user, a flaw that can lead to the deceptive overestimation of monitor reliability in real-world deployments.

Spinverse: Differentiable Physics for Permeability-Aware Microstructure Reconstruction from Diffusion MRI

Spinverse is a differentiable physics framework that reconstructs explicit microstructural interfaces from diffusion MRI by optimizing learnable face permeabilities on a fixed tetrahedral grid, utilizing geometric priors and multi-sequence optimization to overcome ill-posedness and recover complex tissue geometries without altering mesh connectivity.

When Sensors Fail: Temporal Sequence Models for Robust PPO under Sensor Drift

This paper proposes augmenting Proximal Policy Optimization with temporal sequence models, particularly Transformers, to enable robust reinforcement learning under sensor drift and partial observability by inferring missing information from history, a claim supported by theoretical bounds on reward degradation and empirical success on MuJoCo benchmarks.

Improving the accuracy of physics-informed neural networks via last-layer retraining

This paper proposes a post-processing method that significantly improves the accuracy of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) by finding the best approximation in a function space associated with the network, achieving errors four to five orders of magnitude lower than standard PINNs while enabling transfer learning and providing a metric for optimal basis function selection.

Why the Brain Consolidates: Predictive Forgetting for Optimal Generalisation

This paper proposes that memory consolidation serves a computational role beyond mere stabilization, utilizing "predictive forgetting" to compress stored representations into a form that optimizes generalization by selectively retaining information that predicts future outcomes, a process necessitated by high-capacity encoding constraints and validated through simulations across diverse neural and transformer models.
