arXiv:2609.12320v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional large language models (LLMs) are scoped to individual user sessions, limiting their knowledge to a single conversation and preventing them from learning user preferences that evolve over time. Existing agentic memory systems address this limitation but generally operate at the individual-user level, restricting the public knowledge that could be shared across users to improve downstream responses. We introduce AIM (Agentic Interoperable Memory), a unified, privacy-aware memory framework that enables multi-agent, multi-user LLM systems to persistently manage private and shared memory. AIM dynamically classifies information as private, scoped to one user and inaccessible to others, or public, accessible to all users. It enforces index-level access controls so that private memories are retrievable only by their owner, protecting sensitive data while allowing beneficial shared knowledge to improve coordination and consistency. We also introduce MUMBench (Multi-User Memory Benchmark), a dataset of multi-user interactions containing private and shareable information across four domains. To our knowledge, MUMBench is the first public dataset designed to evaluate multiple memory operations, including retrieval, creation, update, and deletion, in a multi-user environment. Across three independent runs on MUMBench, AIM achieves 96.0% visibility classification accuracy, 58.8% strict operation accuracy, and 70.5% state-aware operation accuracy.

Update (2026-09-17): EvolveTrade: Experience-Driven Policy Refinement for Self-Evolving LLM Trading Agents. arXiv:2609.17632v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) trading agents can combine market data, news, and executable analysis, but their behavior is often controlled by static hand-written tool-use policies that are fixed before deployment. This limits their ability to adapt how they gather evidence, invoke tools, verify signals, and manage risk under changing market regimes. We introduce EvolveTrade, a self-evolving framework that treats the system prompt of a tool-using trading agent as a text-parameterized policy. After each update interval, a Policy Agent revises this policy using accumulated decision traces and realized portfolio feedback, while keeping the backbone LLM fixed. The updated policy is then used for the next batch of trading decisions, enabling the agent to refine its information-acquisition and portfolio-construction procedure over time. Experiments across multiple market regimes and two LLM backbones show that EvolveTrade often improves Sharpe Ratio and Cumulative Return over fixed-policy LLM baselines, achieving the improved SR and C Update (2026-09-17): GVD: Governed Versioning and Deduplication for Document Repositories. arXiv:2609.17696v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Document repositories evolve continuously. Guidelines and policies are revised, superseded, and re-uploaded, so the same content recurs in different wording and newer versions refine or contradict earlier ones. These inconsistencies belong to the growing collection rather than to any single document, yet existing work treats versioning, duplicate detection, and contradiction detection as isolated pairwise tasks and stops once a pair is labeled. We present GVD (Governed Versioning and Deduplication), a framework that unifies cross-document version linking with rule-level conflict resolution under an auditable update policy. Incoming documents are assigned to version families through bidirectional rule alignment, and their rules are compared against the family memory to identify duplicates, contradictions, asymmetric refinements, and new knowledge, with Counterfactual Span Probing (CSP) resolving related pairs that inference misclassifies as neutral. Relation-specific policies suppress duplicates and escalate only consequential changes for revi Update (2026-09-21): Can Agents Design Better Chips with a Higher Level Abstraction?. arXiv:2609.21157v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents are increasingly being explored for chip design, but most existing approaches operate directly at RTL. We ask whether agents can design better chips by leveraging higher-level abstractions. We compare Direct RTL Design, Agent-based HLS Design, Post-Compiler HLS Refinement, and Post-HLS RTL Refinement, and combine Agent-based HLS Design with Post-HLS RTL Refinement as Agent-based HLS with RTL Refinement (AHRR). We use FPGAs as a practical, easy-to-deploy platform for end-to-end evaluation, but note that the design-flow tradeoffs we study are largely independent of the target technology. Across a diverse 11-tasks benchmark suite, AHRR achieves a 2.6$\times$ geometric-mean speedup over Direct RTL Design across our benchmark suite. Case studies show that HLS distills design knowledge into abstractions that agents can leverage, while RTL refinement recovers lower-level optimization opportunities. Together, these results make AHRR a promising workflow for agentic chip design.

Conventional methods convert perception into discrete symbolic facts and then plan, discarding perceptual uncertainty and severing task-level feedback to perception. We introduce a generic, fully differentiable neuro-soft-symbolic framework that connects visual perception and task planning within a single computational graph. The framework maintains a continuous soft symbolic state, lifts domain rules into a differentiable soft-$T_P$ transition operator, and optimizes action logits over a short planning horizon. Gradients from the planning objective can also update the perception parameters, allowing task-relevant perceptual representations to be refined during planning. On Blocksworld, our method solves 40/40 LatPlan-40 tasks and 596/600 PlanBench-600 tasks, compared with 33/40 for LatPlan and 587/600 for the reasoning-model baseline, while requiring substantially less comput Update (2026-09-22): Learning 3D biophysical cell properties from 2D images and cell-population statistics. arXiv:2609.22410v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inferring 3D cellular properties from 2D microscopy is difficult when a reference instrument reports only population statistics rather than labels for individual cells. Here we develop a population-supervised framework that maps single 2D red-cell images to latent biophysical quantities and aggregates them to mean corpuscular volume, red-cell distribution width and mean corpuscular haemoglobin. The model combines shared local inference, a biophysically structured decoder for volume and haemoglobin, learned instance weighting and device-specific calibration. We formalise conditions under which aggregate observations identify restricted instance predictors, show why population agreement does not by itself identify single-cell properties or 3D geometry, and derive the dispersion penalty induced by subset mean matching. The development dataset comprises 390 specimens and 1,105 acquisitions across six devices, with reported Pearson correlations of 0.86--0.98 against a Sysmex analyser. The framework provides a testable route from 2
