arXiv:2609.12165v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Meeting continuation requires tracking the agenda, speaker roles, participant intentions, and disagreement across long multi-party discussions. We introduce the Meeting Dynamic Forecasting Benchmark (MDFB), constructed from 2,207 real-world meetings and 24,794 future-facing queries. Given a transcript prefix and an active question, a model generates a plausible multi-turn continuation in one call. We evaluate utility---progress toward the question---and human-likeness---plausible conversational flow and role consistency---without requiring exact reproduction of the observed future. We further present GLARE, an adaptation of adversarial imitation learning to conditional language generation. A discriminator ranks the observed continuation above samples from the current actor, and its score supplies a KL-regularized policy reward; retraining on current-policy negatives allows the reward landscape to evolve with the actor. GLARE attains average human-evaluated win rates of 0.66 on utility and 0.70 on human-likeness, outperforming SFT and SPIN while remaining below the observed human continuation. We also demonstrate MDFB as a social reasoning arena for comparing general-purpose models, including closed-source systems, through reference-assisted judgments. Together, these studies illustrate the benchmark's use for both task-specific learning and output-based evaluation of meeting behavior.

arXiv:2609.12436v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-running LLM agents require memory mechanisms that maintain coherent internal states across interactions. We study a lifecycle-labeled memory setting in which write episodes provide lifecycle metadata during training, and phase-aware readout is used during evaluation. This setting reflects the need to distinguish information that should remain influential across future interactions from information that should affect only the current context. A mismatch between these lifecycles can cause temporary information to overwrite durable knowledge, leading to behavioral drift in persistent agents. Within this setting, we introduce \textbf{LifeFuse-Mem}, a lifecycle-aware neural memory framework that separates information according to its temporal commitment. LifeFuse-Mem uses dedicated memory components and lifecycle-aware updates to allow stable and transient knowledge to evolve locally without converting temporary context into durable state. On the controlled anti-overwrite benchmark, LifeFuse-Mem improves acquisition-controlled retention and reduces temporary overwrite; on two public long-memory benchmarks, it remains broadly competitive. These results suggest that explicit lifecycle signals can help diagnose and mitigate overwrite in compact online memory.

arXiv:2609.12606v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While multimodal reasoning has advanced rapidly, solving complex geometry problems critically hinges on active visual assistance, such as constructing auxiliary lines, spurring the rise of Visual Chain-of-Thought (VCoT). However, existing evaluations typically assess visual generation quality and final answer accuracy in isolation, failing to examine whether intermediate visual aids are geometrically valid, effectively utilized in subsequent reasoning, or causally responsible for task success. To bridge this gap, we introduce GeoVAD-Bench, a diagnostic benchmark that pairs a fine-grained five-dimensional trajectory diagnosis covering perception, auxiliary quality, utilization, deductive reasoning, and final correctness with controlled No-Aux, Auto-Aux, and GT-Aux intervention settings to systematically isolate intermediate error modes, the causal gains of visual aids, and the resulting autonomy gap. Our findings reveal that while high-quality auxiliary aids offer substantial theoretical gains for geometric problem solving, autonomous generation is frequently hampered by compounding errors across geometric perception, faithful visual manipulation, visual-state grounding, and deductive reasoning. Guided by these diagnostic insights, we establish a specialized data construction pipeline encompassing geometric perception, diagram editing, and interleaved visual-textual reasoning trajectories, and develop a progressive SFT and multimodal RL training framework. The resulting model, GeoWeave-8B, outperforms the base model by +25.3% in final geometric accuracy and achieves a +30.4% gain in process average across the four intermediate diagnostic dimensions.

arXiv:2603.01131v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Clinical diagnosis is a gradual process of evidence integration, in which physicians move from symptoms and medical history to examinations, competing hypotheses, disease relations, and treatment decisions. Large language models have advanced medical text understanding and generation. Yet their clinical use remains limited by weak evidence grounding, opaque reasoning, and inconsistent links among differential diagnosis, final diagnosis, diagnostic basis, and treatment planning. We introduce MedCollab, a multi-agent framework for full-cycle clinical diagnosis and report generation. MedCollab coordinates specialist and examination agents according to patient records. It structures agent deliberation with an Issue-Based Information System (IBIS) protocol, so that each diagnostic position is supported by patient-specific evidence and medical knowledge. It also builds Hierarchical Disease Relation Chains (HDRC) to connect accepted hypotheses through progression, complication, and comorbidity relations. During multi-round deliberation, a verifier-guided consensus module evaluates evidence support, medical plausibility, and logical conflicts. It then adjusts agent contributions and filters unsupported reasoning. Experiments on ClinicalBench and MIMIC-IV show that MedCollab outperforms leading LLMs and medical multi-agent baselines in diagnostic accuracy, evidence consistency, and clinical reasoning quality. These results indicate that structured and auditable collaboration can produce more faithful and clinically coherent diagnostic reports.
