SCOPE: Structured Decomposition and Conditional Skill Orchestration for Complex Image Generation

Researchers introduce SCOPE, a framework that addresses the challenge of maintaining semantic commitments throughout the text-to-image generation process by using structured specifications and conditional skill orchestration. The framework achieves significantly higher performance on complex image generation tasks, with a new benchmark (Gen-Arena) and evaluation metric (EGIP) designed to measure commitment-level intent realization.

ASMR-Bench: Auditing for Sabotage in ML Research

Researchers introduced ASMR-Bench, a benchmark for detecting sabotage in ML research codebases, revealing that current frontier LLMs and human auditors struggle to identify subtle implementation flaws that produce misleading results. The study found even the best-performing model (Gemini 3.1 Pro) achieved only 77% AUROC and 42% fix rate, highlighting critical vulnerabilities in AI-assisted research validation.

Distributionally Robust Token Optimization in RLHF

Researchers propose Distributionally Robust Token Optimization (DRTO), a method combining reinforcement learning from human feedback with robust optimization to improve large language model consistency across distribution shifts. The approach demonstrates 9.17% improvement on GSM8K and 2.49% on MathQA benchmarks, addressing LLM vulnerabilities to minor input variations.

SearchSkill: Teaching LLMs to Use Search Tools with Evolving Skill Banks

SearchSkill is a new framework that teaches language models to perform more effective web searches by explicitly planning queries through reusable skill cards rather than treating search as an undifferentiated action. The system maintains an evolving skill bank that improves from failure patterns, demonstrating better performance on knowledge-intensive QA tasks with fewer wasted queries and improved reasoning accuracy.

Zero-shot Imitation Learning by Latent Topology Mapping

Researchers introduce ZALT, an imitation learning method that enables AI agents to solve unseen tasks by identifying latent hub states in demonstrated trajectories and planning over abstract topology. The approach achieves 55% zero-shot success on complex maze tasks compared to 6% for existing baselines, addressing the challenge of adapting learned behaviors to new long-horizon goals without additional training.

RAwR: Role-Aware Rewiring via Approximate Equitable Partition

Researchers introduce RAwR, a graph neural network rewiring framework that addresses the oversquashing problem by augmenting graphs with quotient graphs derived from equitable partitions. The method improves GNN performance on long-range prediction tasks while maintaining computational efficiency and demonstrates state-of-the-art results across diverse benchmarks.

On the Non-decoupling of Supervised Fine-tuning and Reinforcement Learning in Post-training

Researchers prove that supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) cannot be decoupled during large language model post-training, as each method degrades the performance gains of the other. The theoretical findings, verified experimentally, challenge the widespread industry practice of alternating these two training approaches and suggest optimal RL duration exists to balance competing objectives.
