ISODS Releases Inaugural U.S. College Rankings Using Federal Datasets

ISODS Releases Inaugural U.S. College Rankings Using Federal Datasets

The International Society of Data Scientists (ISODS) has published its inaugural U.S. university ranking, evaluating 1,514 colleges and universities exclusively using public federal data (College Scorecard and IPEDS) rather than reputation surveys.

WordInferBench: Can Agents Infer How to Edit from Word Document Context?

arXiv:2611.15189v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Document editing is among the most common knowledge-work tasks, yet existing benchmarks for evaluating autonomous agents on Word document editing provide fully specified attribute-modification instructions. They do not evaluate agents' ability to infer the appropriate attributes from document context, a capability essential in real-world editing where users expect consistency without spelling out every attribute. We introduce WordInferBench, a…

HyperSkill: Training-Free Omnimodal GRPO via Hypergraph-Indexed Skill-Library Evolution

arXiv:2611.15178v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning sharpens LLM reasoning, but parameter updates are expensive, forgetful, and opaque; training-free libraries swap gradients for a textual store but still use trajectory-level, correlation-based admission and flat structure. To address both, we propose HyperSkill, a Training-Free Omnimodal GRPO framework that keeps the backbone frozen and replaces gradient updates with auditable edits to a Hypergraph-Indexed Skill-Library,…

Expanding the Decision Space of Pretrained Models through Structured Re-Decoding

arXiv:2611.15109v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Native decoders limit how pretrained models combine local predictions under new structural constraints. We introduce Structured Re-Decoding (SRD), a training-free framework that constructs local candidates from model scores, samples, or external specifications, jointly optimizes their selection, and verifies reconstructed outputs. We show that candidate recombination expands feasible support and can improve attainable reward under a fixed KL…

GuardianAgentFlow: Multi-Agent Coordination for Web Privacy Protection

arXiv:2611.15097v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Web agents need to use private context without unnecessarily disclosing it. Effective protection must distinguish between requests that may be sent after sanitization and those that must be withheld, while preserving the information needed for authorized tasks. We present GuardianAgentFlow, a multi-agent framework that mediates outgoing Web requests through an explicit release contract. A dedicated restriction check grounds permission in the…

A frontier machine intelligence for human neuroimaging

arXiv:2611.15094v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical imaging is essential for diagnosing disease, guiding treatment and monitoring patients over time. Although artificial intelligence has advanced image interpretation, existing medical models often address restricted tasks, while general-purpose proprietary models lack access to private clinical imaging required to achieve medical expertise. Developing models that can interpret complex examinations and communicate their findings in the…
