GraphDx: A Cost-Aware Knowledge-Enhanced Multi-Agent Framework for Sequential DiagnosisSequential diagnosis requires balancing diagnostic accuracy against resource costs through iterative information gathering. Existing Large Language Model (LLM) approaches exhibit a critical knowledge-reasoning gap: despite encoding extensive medical knowledge, they struggle to reason systematically under cost constrai…

Causal-Audit: Explicit and Auditable Graph-based Reasoning via Target-Aware Causal Chain ConstructionCausal and intervention-based question answering is fundamental to advancing large language models (LLMs) toward reasoning beyond surface-level correlations and understanding underlying causal mechanisms. However, existing LLM-based methods often rely on implicit language-level reasoning, resulting in opaque causal as…

Cura 1T: Specialized Model for Agentic HealthcareHealthcare spans high-stakes communication, expert reasoning, and workflow execution, yet specialized LLMs that cover these use cases together remain limited. A healthcare model must handle patient consultation, clinical reasoning over text and images, interactive diagnosis, and electronic health record (EHR) tool use…

AnovaX: A Local, Multi-Agent Voice Assistant with LLM Planning, Typed Executors, and Adaptive RecoveryDesktop voice assistants are still dominated by cloud pipelines that ship raw audio off the machine and expose a fixed set of skills. We describe AnovaX, a small local-first assistant that runs entirely on the user's computer and treats the desktop itself as its action surface. A single Python process wires together a…

Precise but Uncoupled: Reviewer Precision Does Not Guarantee Critique Uptake in Multi-Agent Math ReasoningMany math- and science-oriented agent systems use hierarchical designs with specialized reviewer roles, assuming that a dedicated review stage should help turn wrong candidates into correct ones. We test this assumption on 4,181 verifier-grounded Omni-MATH problems using matched gpt-oss-120b actors. Collaboration adds…

DrawingVQA: A Real-World Benchmark for Multi-Depth Visual-Textual Reasoning on Construction DrawingsWe introduce DrawingVQA, the first benchmark designed to evaluate multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on real-world construction drawings -- a core media in architecture, civil, and many other engineering practices. Unlike natural images or schematic floor plans, construction drawings fuse abstract geometry, symb…

Do Coding Agents Need Executable World Models, Simplification, and Verification to Solve ARC-AGI-3?Our previous ARC-AGI-3 agent bundled executable world modeling, scheduled simplification, and exact replay verification, leaving unclear which idea accounted for its performance. We address this attribution question with four nested Codex-based agents: a textual baseline; a flexible-interface executable world model wi…

Beyond a Joke: Multi-Angle Reasoning for Detecting and Explaining Harmful Humor in MemesInternet memes intertwine visual cues, textual content, and cultural context, making them particularly challenging to interpret in scenarios where humor, sarcasm, and harmful intent coexist. These complexities highlight the need for explainable meme understanding systems that can provide reliable and structured reason…

HG-RAG: Hierarchy-Guided Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Structured Knowledge GraphsRetrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has proven to be a widely successful process at improving the quality of outputs from a Large Language Model (LLM) for wider context. However, RAG systems typically retrieve context from flat document stores, which struggles when queries require hierarchical or relational reasoning…

IMEX Interaction-Based Model ExplanationIn predictive modeling, the ability to explain why a model produces a given target prediction has become increasingly important [5, 10]. Black-box models do not provide a transparent description of the internal mechanisms that generate the prediction, making even accurate predictions difficult to interpret and validat…
