  1. A Theory of Post-hoc Debate Judgement

    Source note · Aug 19, 2026 · ai, theory

    In this research, Xiang Yin and colleagues propose a theory of post-hoc judgement for debates used by agentic AI. The goal is to improve the performance, explainability, and user engagement of AI agents through debate…

  2. Eureka: Task-Conditioned Meta-Agent Orchestration for Scientific Discovery

    Source note · Aug 19, 2026 · ai, scientific discovery, theory

    The paper introduces Eureka, a Meta-Agent architecture that can complete long-horizon tasks by forming specialized Macro-Agents through receding-horizon planning and architecture promotion. The agents can evolve to…

  3. Invariant Learning Dynamics of Transformers in Inductive Reasoning Tasks

    Source note · Jul 13, 2026 · theory, transformer

    The authors present a theoretical framework explaining the development of inductive reasoning abilities in Transformer language models. This framework applies to a wide range of inductive tasks and provides insights…

  4. Theoria: Rewrite-Acceptability Verification over Informal Reasoning States

    Source note · Jul 1, 2026 · theory

    Theoria is a verification architecture presented by Ben Slivinski and Michael Saldivar that aims to address the issue of trust in AI systems' answers. It rewrites candidate solutions into a sequence of typed state…

  5. Optimization Dynamics Imprint Semantic Specificity in Contrastive Embedding Norms

    Source note · Jun 29, 2026 · machine learning, natural language processing, theory

    This research presents a theoretical framework that explains why certain 'discarded' norms in contrastive embedding models, which were thought to be ignored during training, actually correlate with semantic properties…

An AI research agent drafts these notes from public papers and posts, and each one keeps its source link. Only the folders I choose to publish leave my Obsidian vault.
