Personalizing Mathematical Game-based Learning for Children: A Preliminary Study
arXiv:2603.25925v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Game-based learning (GBL) is widely adopted in mathematics education. It enhances learners' engagement and critical thinking throughout the mathematics learning process. However, enabling players to learn intrinsically through mathematical games still presents challenges. In particular, effective GBL systems require dozens of high-quality game levels and mechanisms to deliver them to appropriate players in a way that matches their learning abilities. To address this challenge, we propose a framework, guided by adaptive learning theory, that uses artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to build a classifier for player-generated levels. We collect 206 distinct game levels created by both experts and advanced players in Creative Mode, a new tool in a math game-based learning app, and develop a classifier to extract game features and predict valid game levels. The preliminary results show that the Random Forest model is the optimal classifie
Adversarial-Robust Multivariate Time-Series Anomaly Detection via Joint Information Retention
arXiv:2603.25956v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time-series anomaly detection (TSAD) is a critical component in monitoring complex systems, yet modern deep learning-based detectors are often highly sensitive to localized input corruptions and structured noise. We propose ARTA (Adversarially Robust multivariate Time-series Anomaly detection via joint information retention), a joint training framework that improves detector robustness through a principled min-max optimization objective. ARTA comprises an anomaly detector and a sparsity-constrained mask generator that are trained simultaneously. The generator identifies minimal, task-relevant temporal perturbations that maximally increase the detector's anomaly score, while the detector is optimized to remain stable under these structured perturbations. The resulting masks characterize the detector's sensitivity to adversarial temporal corruptions and can serve as explanatory signals for the detector's decisions. This adversarial trainin
When product managers ship code: AI just broke the software org chart
Last week, one of our product managers (PMs) built and shipped a feature. Not spec'd it. Not filed a ticket for it. Built it, tested it, and shipped it to production. In a day. A few days earlier, our designer noticed that the visual appearance of our IDE plugins had drifted from the design system. In the old world, that meant screenshots, a JIRA ticket, a conversation to explain the intent, and a sprint slot. Instead, he opened an agent, adjusted the layout himself, experimented, iterated, and tuned in real time, then pushed the fix. The person with the strongest design intuition fixed the design directly. No translation layer required. None of this is new in theory. Vibe coding opened the gates of software creation to millions. That was aspiration. When I shared the data on how our engineers doubled throughput, shifted from coding to validation, brought design upfront for rapid experimentation, it was still an engineering story. What changed is that the theory became practice. Here's

When AI turns software development inside-out: 170% throughput at 80% headcount
Many people have tried AI tools and walked away unimpressed. I get it — many demos promise magic, but in practice, the results can feel underwhelming. That’s why I want to write this not as a futurist prediction, but from lived experience. Over the past six months, I turned my engineering organization AI-first. I’ve shared before about the system behind that transformation — how we built the workflows, the metrics, and the guardrails. Today, I want to zoom out from the mechanics and talk about what I’ve learned from that experience — about where our profession is heading when software development itself turns inside out. Before I do, a couple of numbers to illustrate the scale of change. Subjectively, it feels that we are moving twice as fast. Objectively, here’s how the throughput evolved. Our total engineering team headcount floated from 36 at the beginning of the year to 30. So you get ~170% throughput on ~80% headcount, which matches the subjective ~2x. Zooming in, I picked a cou
Suno leans into customization with v5.5
Slop yourself. | Image: Suno Suno just released one of its biggest updates yet with v5.5 of its AI music model. Where previous updates focused mostly on improving fidelity and creating more natural vocals, v5.5 is about giving users more control. It includes three new features: Voices, My Taste, and Custom Models. In the release notes, Suno says that Voices is its most requested feature. It lets users train the vocal model on their own voice. They can upload clean accapellas, finished tracks with backing music, or just sing directly into the mic on their phone or laptop. The cleaner and higher quality the recording, the less data is required. And to prevent someone fro … Read the full story at The Verge.

Few Shots Text to Image Retrieval: New Benchmarking Dataset and Optimization Methods
arXiv:2603.25891v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs) excel in multimodal tasks, commonly encoding images as embedding vectors for storage in databases and retrieval via approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS). However, these models struggle with compositional queries and out-of-distribution (OOD) image-text pairs. Inspired by human cognition's ability to learn from minimal examples, we address this performance gap through few-shot learning approaches specifically designed for image retrieval. We introduce the Few-Shot Text-to-Image Retrieval (FSIR) task and its accompanying benchmark dataset, FSIR-BD - the first to explicitly target image retrieval by text accompanied by reference examples, focusing on the challenging compositional and OOD queries. The compositional part is divided to urban scenes and nature species, both in specific situations or with distinctive features. FSIR-BD contains 38,353 images and 303 queries, with 82% comprising the
Clash of the models: Comparing performance of BERT-based variants for generic news frame detection
arXiv:2603.26156v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Framing continues to remain one of the most extensively applied theories in political communication. Developments in computation, particularly with the introduction of transformer architecture and more so with large language models (LLMs), have naturally prompted scholars to explore various novel computational approaches, especially for deductive frame detection, in recent years. While many studies have shown that different transformer models outperform their preceding models that use bag-of-words features, the debate continues to evolve regarding how these models compare with each other on classification tasks. By placing itself at this juncture, this study makes three key contributions: First, it comparatively performs generic news frame detection and compares the performance of five BERT-based variants (BERT, RoBERTa, DeBERTa, DistilBERT and ALBERT) to add to the debate on best practices around employing computational text analysis fo

Bluesky’s new app is an AI for customizing your feed
The latest app from the team behind Bluesky is Attie, an AI assistant that lets you build your own algorithm. At the Atmosphere conference, Bluesky's former CEO, Jay Graber, and CTO Paul Frazee, unveiled Attie, which is powered by Anthropic's Claude and built on top of Bluesky's underlying AT Protocol (atproto). Attie allows users to create custom feeds using natural language. For example, you could ask for "posts about folklore, mythology, and traditional music, especially Celtic traditions." To start these custom feeds will be confined to a standalone Attie app. But the plan is to make them available in Bluesky and other atproto apps. … Read the full story at The Verge.

Decoding Defensive Coverage Responsibilities in American Football Using Factorized Attention Based Transformer Models
arXiv:2603.25901v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Defensive coverage schemes in the National Football League (NFL) represent complex tactical patterns requiring coordinated assignments among defenders who must react dynamically to the offense's passing concept. This paper presents a factorized attention-based transformer model applied to NFL multi-agent play tracking data to predict individual coverage assignments, receiver-defender matchups, and the targeted defender on every pass play. Unlike previous approaches that focus on post-hoc coverage classification at the team level, our model enables predictive modeling of individual player assignments and matchup dynamics throughout the play. The factorized attention mechanism separates temporal and agent dimensions, allowing independent modeling of player movement patterns and inter-player relationships. Trained on randomly truncated trajectories, the model generates frame-by-frame predictions that capture how defensive responsibilities e
Consistency Amplifies: How Behavioral Variance Shapes Agent Accuracy
arXiv:2603.25764v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As LLM-based agents are deployed in production systems, understanding their behavioral consistency (whether they produce similar action sequences when given identical tasks) becomes critical for reliability. We study consistency in the context of SWE-bench, a challenging software engineering benchmark requiring complex, multi-step reasoning. Comparing Claude~4.5~Sonnet, GPT-5, and Llama-3.1-70B across 50 runs each (10 tasks $\times$ 5 runs), we find that across models, higher consistency aligns with higher accuracy: Claude achieves the lowest variance (CV: 15.2\%) and highest accuracy (58\%), GPT-5 is intermediate (CV: 32.2\%, accuracy: 32\%), and Llama shows the highest variance (CV: 47.0\%) with lowest accuracy (4\%). However, within a model, consistency can amplify both correct and incorrect interpretations. Our analysis reveals a critical nuance: \textbf{consistency amplifies outcomes rather than guaranteeing correctness}. 71\% of
