Intelligent Three Level Learning Architecture for Autonomous UAV Swarms in Search and RescueThis paper presents a novel three level hierarchical learning architecture for autonomous UAV swarms performing search and rescue operations. Unlike conventional approaches that apply a single learning paradigm across all hierarchy levels, the proposed architecture integrates three qualitatively different learning mec…

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…

Human AI Construction of Bayesian Networks for Operational Decision Support -- A Virtual Survey ApproachBayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) are powerful tools for decision-making under uncertainty. However, building their structures and estimating parameters are difficult. Currently, researchers must choose between relying on expert judgement or using large datasets to learn the structure and parameters of the network. We p…

Capability from Access Structure, Not Scale: Lower Bounds and Pre-Registered Tests for Hybrid Sequence ModelsThe Platonic Representation Hypothesis (PRH) holds that as models scale, representations of heterogeneous networks converge toward a shared model of reality. We propose its sequel and boundary, the Capability Convergence Hypothesis (CCH): under a fixed per-token inference budget, representational convergence does not…

OriginBlame: Record- and Token-Level Data Provenance for AI Training DatasetsWhen a data contributor requests removal, model trainers face a practical gap: unlearning algorithms require a forget set, yet no tool can locate which training records belong to a given author. Existing provenance systems operate at file or dataset level, forcing catastrophic over-deletion. We present ob, a record- a…

SPINE: Bridging the Cyber-Physical Gap with Agentic AIFoundation models have given robots a sophisticated brain for complex decision-making, yet deploying that intelligence into a physical platform still demands tedious, expert-driven calibration. This deployment gap, the robot's spinal cord, remains a primary bottleneck to scalable Embodied AI. Hence, we propose SPINE (…

Interventional Grounding Audits: Black-Box Premise-Dependency Tests for LLM Chain-of-Thought via Predicate SubstitutionLarge language models produce chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning that appears logically sound yet may not genuinely depend on its stated premises.

Probabilistic Extension of Neuro-Symbolic AGI Robots based on Belnap's Typed Intensional FOLNeuro-symbolic AI based on $IFOL_B$ is a way to combine neural learning and symbolic reasoning to overcome limitations of purely neural systems (like lack of interpretability and logical structure) with formal logical machinery for self-reference. In this paper we expand the cognitive power of $IFOL_B$ by using the pr…

Improving Molecular Property Prediction in Small Language Models Using Graph-based ToolsSmall language models (SLMs) have shown promise for zero-shot molecular property prediction from SMILES strings, yet they often suffer from structural blindness because sequence representations under-specify key graph-topological cues.
