Zugwise: Domain-Aware Game Reconstruction for Digitizing Handwritten Chess ScoresheetsDigitizing handwritten chess scoresheets has been studied as a handwriting-recognition problem: read the move in each box and check that it is legal. This framing misses the errors that matter most. A misread that yields an illegal move is loud. One that yields a legal-but-wrong move is silent, because a legality-only…

Cleaning an Agent's History Hurts When the World Still Holds the ErrorTool-using language-model agents accumulate histories of their own mistakes, and a system that compacts, repairs or hands off such a history decides what it says about those mistakes while their effects stay in the world. Prior work cleans the history at a fixed world, where showing a corrected step and saying it is d…

Together Compiler: Continual Compilation for AI InferenceToday's AI workloads are rapidly changing: new models are released more often, model architectures are increasingly diverse, and traffic distributions change frequently. The challenge we face at Together AI is continual optimization for these changing workloads. Compiling a deployment into an optimized forward pass is…

When Should Semantic Priors Enter Partially-Identified Causal Discovery?Observational causal discovery often leaves causal di- rections unresolved or unstable. Large language mod- els (LLMs) can provide semantic information to resolve these directions, but incorrect proposals can exclude the true causal graph and invalidate downstream inference. We study three separate decisions: where to…

Rational Use of Time for Social Coordination in Humans and AIAll social interactions are situated in time. Previous studies have shown that humans are able to use implicit temporal cues, such as the duration of a pause, to infer others' mental states. But how do humans use temporal cues for dynamic, fine-grained social coordination? And can AI systems do the same, without ``exp…

Robust Task-Aware State Estimation from Pre-trained PerceptionAgents that perform state estimation using pretrained perception models, e.g., Vision-Language Models (VLMs), face the fundamental challenge that predictions are uncertain. Still, most approaches determinize these predictions into a single best-guess state and make decisions as if it were ground truth. This is brittle…
