Probing the Origins of Reasoning Performance: Representational Quality for Mathematical Problem-Solving in RL vs. SFT Fine-Tuned Models
arXiv:2607.26119v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large reasoning models trained via reinforcement learning (RL) have been increasingly shown to outperform their supervised fine-tuned (SFT) counterparts on mathematical reasoning tasks; Yet the mechanistic basis for this advantage remains unclear. We therefore ask, what internal representational differences enable RL models' superior performance? Our work presents two converging lines of evidence: First, linear probes trained on layer-wise hidden states reveal that RL models tend to achieve higher accuracy in predicting answer correctness compared to SFT models, indicating more linearly separable and structured representations. Second, mean ablation studies show that RL models develop a hierarchical architecture where deeper layers become progressively more critical, whereas SFT models distribute importance uniformly across layers. Together, these findings demonstrate that RL training fundamentally restructures how models represent and pr
Regularizing modality contribution drift in multimodal continual learning
arXiv:2607.27260v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal continual learning (MMCL) aims to learn emerging knowledge from multimodal data while preserving knowledge. To mitigate forgetting, current MMCL methods usually focus on cross-modal representation alignment or semantic similarity, but they overlook whether the relative contributions of individual modalities and their interactions remain stable across incremental tasks. We term this decision-level shift Modality Contribution Drift (MCD) and quantify it with the MCD score, which combines contribution-strength and relative-reliance changes under controlled interventions on modality subsets. Theoretical and empirical analyses further explain why current MMCL methods cannot reliably mitigate this drift. To this end, we propose Continual Modality Contribution Drift Regularization (CMCDR), which preserves the modality contribution structure of previously learned tasks. Since MMCL settings differ in whether old exemplars are available,
Recursive transformers for semiconductor thermo-mechanical reliability
arXiv:2607.27251v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformer-based surrogate models are increasingly used to replace expensive first-principles simulation in engineering design. But conventional transformer architectures are often over parameterized for the small, low-dimensional datasets typical of engineering design spaces, where large simulation data is expensive to generate. Under these conditions, excess parameter capacity leads to overfitting rather than improved accuracy, while also incurring unnecessary memory and compute overhead. This motivates a shift towards architectures that focus on additional compute rather than additional learnable parameters. This paper presents a hardware-aware evaluation of three recursive transformer paradigms for surrogate thermo-mechanical analysis of advanced packages: a)Tiny Recursive Model, b) our proposed Depth Recursive transformer, c) and a simple recursive transformer. We systematically compare their predictive performance (Recall, Mean Rec
Simulation of Surgical Suturing Using Position-Based Dynamics and the Material Point Method for Robot Reinforcement Learning
arXiv:2607.27494v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in robotics research have created a strong demand for high-performance simulators. Surgical robotics simulation faces unique challenges due to the need to model diverse objects, such as rigid instruments, soft tissue, and fluids. While many studies simulate sutures or soft tissue independently, only a few have considered the complete soft-tissue suturing scenario, including the contact between sutures and deformable tissue during suture insertion. Building on previous work, this paper presents a novel suturing simulation environment using sutures modelled by position-based dynamics (PBD) and soft bodies modelled by the material point method (MPM) while considering two-way contact with frictional and drag forces. We introduce a contact coupling method between the PBD suture and the MPM soft tissue, enabling visually plausible suture-tissue interactions. The simulator is optimized for GPU execution with parallel scenes using
It's Not Just More Demos: Counterfactual Action Sensitivity Coverage for Data-Efficient Robust Robot Imitation
arXiv:2607.27261v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visuomotor imitation learning has demonstrated success for manipulation tasks. However, the trained policies remain brittle to visual `nuisances', with even minor task-preserving variations such as lighting, distractions or changes in colour result in heavy degradation of the trained policy's performance. While increasing data diversity can improve robustness, it is unclear which additional demonstrations are informative for a particular trained policy. We propose Counterfactual Nuisance Behaviour Cloning (CFNBC), an offline data-selection framework for targeted robustness repair. Starting from a nominal policy trained on `clean' demonstrations, CFNBC generates paired clean and nuisance observations that preserve the expert action, then measures \emph{action drift}: the change in the policy's predicted action under a nuisance that should not alter the desired behaviour. This provides a policy-specific sensitivity signal for selecting a co
Even More Deception: Objective Misalignment in Mixed-Motive LLM Multi-Agent Systems
arXiv:2607.26120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs)-powered multi-agent systems are increasingly deployed in mixed-motive environments, where agents operate under asymmetric information and strategic deception due to conflicting or hidden objectives. In these settings, misalignment with collective goals becomes a central concern. We propose a novel framework for evaluating objective misalignment using the social deduction game Werewolf, modifying the objective of a single agent while preserving its assigned role. Across LLMs from four different model families and sizes, four player roles, and three objective formulations, we introduce a dual analysis of the agents' internal reasoning and their public cheap-talk behavior (i.e costless, non-binding communication that does not directly affect the agents' utilities), complemented by an analysis of game outcomes. Our results show that objective misalignment undermines outcomes in inherently adversarial environments,
