A Universal Cliff and a Design Fingerprint: Cross-Section Defect Detection Under LLM Orchestration

Researchers discovered that large language models fail catastrophically at detecting contradictions spanning multiple sections of documents when using multi-agent orchestration systems, despite performing well in single-agent scenarios. The detection failure is universal across model families and generations, and alignment improvements don't fix the structural problem—creating a critical vulnerability in production LLM systems.

Rethinking Infrastructure Inspection as Image Difference Classification: A Traffic Sign Case Study

Researchers propose reformulating infrastructure inspection as image difference classification (IDC) rather than traditional defect detection, leveraging digital twins to reduce annotated data requirements. A traffic sign case study demonstrates that instruction-based classifiers outperform encoder-based alternatives when comparing images against reference baselines, offering practical applications for low-resource infrastructure monitoring.
