Enhancing Safety of Large Language Models via Embedding Space Separation
arXiv:2603.20206v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have achieved impressive capabilities, yet ensuring their safety against harmful prompts remains a critical challenge. Recent work has revealed that the latent representations (embeddings) of harmful and safe queries in LLMs...
Profit is the Red Team: Stress-Testing Agents in Strategic Economic Interactions
arXiv:2603.20925v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As agentic systems move into real-world deployments, their decisions increasingly depend on external inputs such as retrieved content, tool outputs, and information provided by other actors. When these inputs can be strategically shaped by adversaries,...
LLM-Driven Heuristic Synthesis for Industrial Process Control: Lessons from Hot Steel Rolling
arXiv:2603.20537v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Industrial process control demands policies that are interpretable and auditable, requirements that black-box neural policies struggle to meet. We study an LLM-driven heuristic synthesis framework for hot steel rolling, in which a language model iteratively...
AI-Driven Multi-Agent Simulation of Stratified Polyamory Systems: A Computational Framework for Optimizing Social Reproductive Efficiency
arXiv:2603.20678v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contemporary societies face a severe crisis of demographic reproduction. Global fertility rates continue to decline precipitously, with East Asian nations exhibiting the most dramatic trends -- China's total fertility rate (TFR) fell to approximately 1.0...
Can LLMs Fool Graph Learning? Exploring Universal Adversarial Attacks on Text-Attributed Graphs
arXiv:2603.21155v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-attributed graphs (TAGs) enhance graph learning by integrating rich textual semantics and topological context for each node. While boosting expressiveness, they also expose new vulnerabilities in graph learning through text-based adversarial surfaces. Recent advances leverage...
Leveraging Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning for Evidence-Based Food Security Policy Decision-Making in Data-Scarce Making

This study proposes ZeroHungerAI, an integrated Natural Language Processing (NLP)...
The Library Theorem: How External Organization Governs Agentic Reasoning Capacity
arXiv:2603.21272v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Externalized reasoning is already exploited by transformer-based agents through chain-of-thought, but structured retrieval -- indexing over one's own reasoning state -- remains underexplored. We formalize the transformer context window as an I/O page and prove...
