Explainable AML Triage with LLMs: Evidence Retrieval and Counterfactual Checks

arXiv:2604.19755v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Anti-money laundering (AML) transaction monitoring generates large volumes of alerts that must be rapidly triaged by investigators under strict audit and governance constraints. While large language models (LLMs) can summarize heterogeneous evidence and draft rationales, unconstrained generation is risky in regulated workflows due to hallucinations, weak provenance, and explanations that…

Exploring Data Augmentation and Resampling Strategies for Transformer-Based Models to Address Class Imbalance in AI Scoring of Scientific Explanations in NGSS Classroom

arXiv:2604.19754v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated scoring of students' scientific explanations offers the potential for immediate, accurate feedback, yet class imbalance in rubric categories particularly those capturing advanced reasoning remains a challenge. This study investigates augmentation strategies to improve transformer-based text classification of student responses to a physical science assessment based on an NGSS-aligned learning…

Algorithm Selection with Zero Domain Knowledge via Text Embeddings

arXiv:2604.19753v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a feature-free approach to algorithm selection that replaces hand-crafted instance features with pretrained text embeddings. Our method, ZeroFolio, proceeds in three steps: it reads the raw instance file as plain text, embeds it with a pretrained embedding model, and selects an algorithm via weighted k-nearest neighbors. The key…

AI to Learn 2.0: A Deliverable-Oriented Governance Framework and Maturity Rubric for Opaque AI in Learning-Intensive Domains

arXiv:2604.19751v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative AI is entering research, education, and professional work faster than current governance frameworks can specify how AI-assisted outputs should be judged in learning-intensive settings. The central problem is proxy failure: a polished artifact can be useful while no longer serving as credible evidence of the human understanding, judgment, or…

The Tool-Overuse Illusion: Why Does LLM Prefer External Tools over Internal Knowledge?

arXiv:2604.19749v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Equipping LLMs with external tools effectively addresses internal reasoning limitations. However, it introduces a critical yet under-explored phenomenon: tool overuse, the unnecessary tool-use during reasoning. In this paper, we first reveal this phenomenon is pervasive across diverse LLMs. We then experimentally elucidate its underlying mechanisms through two key lenses: (1)…

On Solving the Multiple Variable Gapped Longest Common Subsequence Problem

arXiv:2604.18645v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper addresses the Variable Gapped Longest Common Subsequence (VGLCS) problem, a generalization of the classical LCS problem involving flexible gap constraints between consecutive solutions' characters. The problem arises in molecular sequence comparison, where structural distance constraints between residues must be respected, and in time-series analysis where events are required…

Beyond One Output: Visualizing and Comparing Distributions of Language Model Generations

arXiv:2604.18724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Users typically interact with and evaluate language models via single outputs, but each output is just one sample from a broad distribution of possible completions. This interaction hides distributional structure such as modes, uncommon edge cases, and sensitivity to small prompt changes, leading users to over-generalize from anecdotes when iterating…

ARES: Adaptive Red-Teaming and End-to-End Repair of Policy-Reward System

arXiv:2604.18789v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is central to aligning Large Language Models (LLMs), yet it introduces a critical vulnerability: an imperfect Reward Model (RM) can become a single point of failure when it fails to penalize unsafe behaviors. While existing red-teaming approaches primarily target policy-level weaknesses, they overlook what…

AI scientists produce results without reasoning scientifically

arXiv:2604.18805v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based systems are increasingly deployed to conduct scientific research autonomously, yet whether their reasoning adheres to the epistemic norms that make scientific inquiry self-correcting is poorly understood. Here, we evaluate LLM-based scientific agents across eight domains, spanning workflow execution to hypothesis-driven inquiry, through more than 25,000 agent…

Quantum inspired qubit qutrit neural networks for real time financial forecasting

arXiv:2604.18838v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This research investigates the performance and efficacy of machine learning models in stock prediction, comparing Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Quantum Qubit-based Neural Networks (QQBNs), and Quantum Qutrit-based Neural Networks (QQTNs). By outlining methodologies, architectures, and training procedures, the study highlights significant differences in training times and performance metrics across models.…
