When Irrelevant Text Matters: Affine Margin Shifts in Multimodal Large Language Models
A new arXiv preprint identifies a consistent, mathematically characterizable bias in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) caused by task-irrelevant text — revealing that such context induces predictable affine distortions in decision margins rather than random noise.

LLMs Know the Constraint But Do Not Use It: Activation Bottlenecks in Pragmatic Constraint Reasoning
A new arXiv preprint identifies a specific failure mode in LLMs—conditional constraint activation—where models possess implicit feasibility constraints but inconsistently route them into decisions, distinguishing knowledge from usage.

The Sample Complexity of Policy Learning with Mu-Resets
A theoretical reinforcement learning paper establishes new exponential lower and upper bounds on sample complexity for policy learning under the μ-resets protocol, clarifying how horizon dependence scales with different concentrability assumptions.

Separating Decision-Rule Misalignment from Readout-Coverage Limitations in Speech Language Models
Researchers introduce a diagnostic method to isolate where speech language models fail on paralinguistic tasks—distinguishing between decision-rule misalignment (how models interpret logits) and readout-coverage limitations (how hidden states map to answers)—and demonstrate consistent gaps across five models and two emotion datasets.

Target-Weighted Neyman Allocation: Experimental Design for Heterogeneous Treatment Effects under Population Shift
A new experimental design method called Target-Weighted Neyman Allocation (TWNA) is proposed to improve precision in estimating heterogeneous treatment effects when experiments are conducted on one population but deployed in another with differing group composition.

On Hamming-Lipschitz Type Stability of the Subdominant (Minmax) Ultrametric: Theory and Simple Proofs
A theoretical paper introduces a new stability framework for the subdominant ultrametric — a tree-structured representation used in hierarchical clustering — by analyzing how sparse perturbations to dissimilarity matrices propagate through minimum spanning trees, yielding precise Hamming–Lipschitz bounds on ultrametric change.

How Does Bayesian Causal Discovery Fail? Characterising Structural Consequences in Linear Gaussian Networks under Latent Confounding
A new arXiv preprint identifies and characterizes two distinct failure regimes of Bayesian causal discovery methods when applied to linear Gaussian models with additive latent confounding between exactly two observed variables, showing that increasing sample size lowers the correlation threshold at which spurious edges are favoured.
