Low-rank adaptation, data augmentation, and chain-of-thought reasoning are among the techniques enabling accent-free polyglot outputs, improved expressiveness, and reliable synthesis.
By learning the idiosyncrasies of accumulated layers of legacy systems, AI agents can preserve institutional knowledge and provide a unified interface to a range of services.
As AI agents become more autonomous, the key challenge isn't what they can do; it's how to design the human side of the equation.
What machine learning theorists learned using AI agents to generate proofs — and what comes next.

ISACE 20262026Agentic AI systems can access vast data but struggle to apply domain expertise, namely the contextual understanding of how to use specialized information. This paper presents a practical framework for encoding such expertise, demonstrated with the National Football League (NFL) through NFL Fantasy AI, a production system delivering analyst-grade fantasy football advice, as assessed by NFL Pro analysts.

CVPR 2026 EarthVision Workshop2026Building outline extraction from remote sensing imagery traditionally relies on segmentation or detection followed by post-processing to derive polygonal geometries. Despite advances in sequential prediction methods [2, 20], end-to-end extraction remains challenging, often missing buildings or requiring additional refinement steps. In this work, we reformulate building outline extraction as next-coordinate

ICLR 2026 Workshop on AI with Recursive Self-Improvement2026Foundation-model upgrades frequently break deployed prompt-based systems: target models differ in chat-template conventions, multimodal interfaces, context limits, and structured-output reliability. We study cross-model prompt adaptation: given a prompt program validated on a source model, produce a target-model prompt that preserves a semantic contract and an interface contract under bounded regression

2026We present a systematic method for pruning edges from causal graphs by leveraging tiered knowledge. We characterize conditions under which edges can be removed from a causal graph while preserving the identifiability of (conditional) causal effects. This result enables causal identification on simplified graphs that are substantially smaller than the original graphs. The approach is particularly valuable

2026Gradient orthogonalization is a simple strategy that shows great utility in speeding up gradient descent. The Muon optimizer (Jordan et al., 2024b) combines gradient orthogonalization with first-order momentum and achieves significant improvement in data efficiency over Adam/AdamW (Loshchilov & Hutter, 2019a) for language model training. However, when using model parallelism, gradient orthogonalization
