Research

• Modulating Cross-Modal Convergence with Single-Stimulus, Intra-Modal Dispersion — Eghbal A. Hosseini, Brian Cheung, Evelina Fedorenko. Neural networks exhibit a remarkable degree of representational convergence across diverse architectures, training objectives, and even data modalities.
• Alignment has a Fantasia Problem — Nathanael Jo, Zoe De Simone, Mitchell Gordon. Modern AI assistants are trained to follow instructions, implicitly assuming that users can clearly articulate their goals and the kind of assistance they need.
• Tool Attention Is All You Need: Dynamic Tool Gating and Lazy Schema Loading for — Anuj Sadani, Deepak Kumar. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has become a common interface for connecting large language model (LLM) agents to external tools, but its reliance on stateless, eager schema injection imposes a hidde...
• Divide-then-Diagnose: Weaving Clinician-Inspired Contexts for Ultra-Long Capsule — Bowen Liu, Li Yang, Shanshan Song. Capsule endoscopy (CE) enables non-invasive gastrointestinal screening, but current CE research remains largely limited to frame-level classification and detection, leaving video-level analysis undere...
• Probably Approximately Consensus: On the Learning Theory of Finding Common Groun — Carter Blair, Ben Armstrong, Shiri Alouf-Heffetz. A primary goal of online deliberation platforms is to identify ideas that are broadly agreeable to a community of users through their expressed preferences.
