AI is more likely than humans to form biases when hiring

The next time you apply for a job, AI may screen your résumé before any human sees it. But there’s good reason to question whether AI will judge you fairly. Researchers already know that LLMs pick up human biases from their training data. New research…

SciVisAgentBench: A Benchmark for Evaluating Scientific Data Analysis and Visualization Agents

arXiv:2603.29139v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled agentic systems to translate natural-language intent into executable scientific visualization (SciVis) tasks. Despite rapid progress, the community lacks a principled and reproducible benchmark for evaluating these emerging SciVis agents in realistic,…

MirrorCode: AI can rebuild entire programs from behavior alone

arXiv:2606.30182v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI models are rapidly improving at autonomous coding, as shown by benchmark progress and one-off demonstrations such as AI implementing a C compiler. However, existing coding benchmarks tend to focus on shorter tasks, and one-off demonstrations are hard to compare…

Faithful Autoformalization of Natural Language Assertions

arXiv:2607.13303v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Formal contracts are essential for software testing and verification, yet writing them remains labor-intensive and error-prone. LLMs offer a promising path toward autoformalization: synthesizing executable assertions from natural-language specifications and thereby bridging the gap between informal developer intent and formal…

There’s a lot of hype around perimenopause. Don’t buy it.

Perimenopause has entered the chat. Perimenopause—and its better-known relative, menopause—used to be considered taboo. Not anymore, thanks at least in part to TV doctors and social media influencers. Perhaps it’s my age, but these days, both my algorithm and my conversations with friends increasingly swing…

The risk of weather data sabotage is rising

Every morning, airline dispatchers, grid operators, and farmers around the world make decisions based on the same thing: a weather forecast. While these forecasts are something that most people glance at for two seconds, weather predictions influence major strategic decisions in many industries, with real…

CXRAgent: Director-Orchestrated Multi-Stage Reasoning for Chest X-Ray Interpretation

arXiv:2510.21324v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Chest X-ray (CXR) plays a pivotal role in clinical diagnosis, and a variety of task-specific and foundation models have been developed for automatic CXR interpretation. However, these models often struggle to adapt to new diagnostic tasks and complex reasoning scenarios.…
