Towards Autonomous Memory Agents
arXiv:2602.22406v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent memory agents improve LLMs by extracting experiences and conversation history into an external storage. This enables low-overhead context assembly and online memory update without expensive LLM training. However, existing sol

Agent Behavioral Contracts: Formal Specification and Runtime Enforcement for Reliable Autonomous AI Agents
arXiv:2602.22302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional software relies on contracts -- APIs, type systems, assertions -- to specify and enforce correct behavior. AI agents, by contrast, operate on prompts and natural language instructions with no formal behavioral specificat

Multi-Level Causal Embeddings
arXiv:2602.22287v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Abstractions of causal models allow for the coarsening of models such that relations of cause and effect are preserved. Whereas abstractions focus on the relation between two models, in this paper we study a framework for causal emb

FIRE: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Financial Intelligence and Reasoning Evaluation
arXiv:2602.22273v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce FIRE, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate both the theoretical financial knowledge of LLMs and their ability to handle practical business scenarios. For theoretical assessment, we curate a diverse set of exam

Graph Your Way to Inspiration: Integrating Co-Author Graphs with Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Large Language Model Based Scientific Idea Generation
arXiv:2602.22215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate potential in the field of scientific idea generation. However, the generated results often lack controllable academic context and traceable inspiration pathways. To bridge this gap, this pape
