New Generative Framework Proposed for Cross-Domain Sequential Recommendation
A new generative framework called GenCDSR is proposed to improve cross-domain sequential recommendation by addressing limitations in tokenization and decoding strategies. The framework introduces a hybrid tokenization mechanism and a serial-parallel decoding strategy to better capture cross-domain patterns and reduce inference latency.

Mirror Learning Framework Enables Policy Acquisition from Third-Person Observations
Researchers propose a mirror learning framework that uses a learned perspective transformation and an inverse dynamics model to generate pseudo first-person expert data from third-person demonstrations, enabling effective policy training and improving behavior cloning performance.

A new extraction layer has been designed and implemented to convert live document streams into validated knowledge graphs aligned with a formal ontology, using a locally hosted language model and ontology-guided extraction to improve consistency and reduce catalog overhead.

ViSAGE is a multimodal agentic memory framework designed to build self-correcting, entity-centric memories by anchoring entity identity through cross-modal binding over long temporal ranges and applying bidirectional memory refinement to unify historical records and improve reasoning. It also introduces multi-agent cross-verification to assess retrieved evidence and enable abstention when evidence is missing.

Research investigates 'persona collapse' and 'behavioral drift' in AI companions, revealing that evaluated models do not reliably maintain consistent persona or behavior over time, with trajectory accuracy averaging 44.4% and user-state recall near chance levels.

The study introduces Chain-of-Models (CoM), an automated audit pipeline where a second model reviews the first model's reasoning before final judgment, finding that the auditor's identity affects bias mitigation effectiveness and that the best auditor varies by bias type.
