Can language models monitor and steer their own internal activations? A neuroscience-inspired neurofeedback paradigm finds yes, but only within a low-dimensional metacognitive space: semantically interpretable directions are accessible, raw-variance directions aren't. The prerequisite for spoofing activation-based oversight already partially exists.

Do current LLMs know when to say "I don't know"? AbstentionBench (NeurIPS '25) tests 20 frontier models across 20 unanswerable-question datasets. Reasoning fine-tuning degrades abstention recall by ~24% — RLVR has no "abstain" action, so there's no gradient toward "I don't know." Models hedge in CoT and commit anyway in the final answer.

AVeriTeC (NeurIPS 2023): 4,568 real-world fact-checked claims, web-retrieved evidence, four-way labels, temporal-leak-free split.
Two structural gaps: gold answers are frozen but the retrieval surface isn't (two systems a year apart hit different Google), and the not-enough-evidence class rewards weak retrievers — predicting NEI when retrieval fails matches gold by coincidence.

Муравьи против трансформеров: старый алгоритм 1992 года, который вернулся
Начну с признания: истории формата «природа оптимизирует лучше людей» меня обычно раздражают, слишком уж часто это все притянуто за уши. Но с муравьями история действительно странная, и мне ее захотелось проверить. Короткая справка по нашему герою. Аргентинский муравей Linepithema humile в миллиметр длиной, с глазами у него все плохо, а в мозге около 250 000 нейронов (у нас, напомню, 86 млрд). Карты местности он не помнит. В 1989 году четверо бельгийских биологов поставили этим муравьям простой эксперимент — гнездо, еда, два мостика, где один длиннее другого в два раза. Через несколько минут вся колония сошлась на короткой ветке в 100% прогонов. И все это без координатора, без плана и без голосования. Через три года этот эксперимент превратится в Ant Colony Optimization — алгоритм, который я сегодня натравлю на классический TSP-бенч и получу 0,10% отставания от оптимума. А в 2023, через 34 года после наблюдений в Брюсселе, тот же алгоритм вернулся на NeurIPS в качестве бэкбона для графовых нейросетей. Что же, приступим.

MetaSPO meta-learns a task-agnostic system prompt via a bilevel loop: outer tunes system prompt across tasks, inner tunes per-task user prompts. Generalizes to 14 unseen tasks across 5 domains.
The decomposition is the contribution. Once prompts split into task-agnostic (system) vs task-specific (user), meta-learning follows. System-prompt optimization transfers; user-prompt doesn't.

China's largest tech federation has urged researchers to boycott the NeurIPS AI conference after it stopped accepting papers from US-sanctioned entities including Huawei. The China Computer Federation called the ban a violation of core academic values. NeurIPS, often the world's premier AI conference, drew tens of thousands of researchers last year. https://www.scmp.com/tech/article/3348006/ai-rift-widens-china-urges-boycott-top-us-conference-over-sanctions-ban #China #Tech #AI #NeurIPS

Google’s new PaperBanana system strings together five AI agents to automatically draft scientific diagrams—right down to Matplotlib‑style plots. It works well, but still drops missing icons, a reminder that AI‑generated figures need human polish. See how this open‑source‑friendly approach performed at NeurIPS and what it means for academic publishing. #PaperBanana #AIAgents #DiagramGeneration #NeurIPS

I'm listening to a colleague (AI PhD student) report about #NeurIPS
First of all, he is reporting on papers that he has not read to an audience of about a hundred people. WTF???Second, more worrying:
It seems that they only learn about neural nets now. Machine learning outside of NNs seems to be completely abandoned. -
@melaniemitchell.bsky.social is a computer scientist and a professor at the Santa Fe Institute. At #NeurIPS 2025 she gave a keynote on why today’s #AI systems should be studied more like nonverbal minds. spectrum.ieee.org/melanie-mitc...

"In response to a query from the Guardian, Zhu said that he had supervised the 131 papers, which were “team endeavors” run by his company, Algoverse. The company charges $3,325 to high-school students and undergraduates for a selective 12-week online mentoring experience – which involves help submitting work to conferences"
-
"The author, Kevin Zhu, recently finished a bachelor’s degree in computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, and now runs Algoverse, an AI research and mentoring company for high schoolers – many of whom are his co-authors on the papers. Zhu himself graduated from high school in 2018"

CURE-Bench: готовы ли «рассуждающие» модели стать терапевтическими ассистентами?
В 2025 году на NeurIPS — главной мировой конференции по ИИ — прошло соревнование CURE‑Bench, организованное исследователями из Гарварда и Массачусетского Технологического Института. Целью соревнования являлась масштабная проверка способностей агентов и рассуждающих моделей в области терапевтических рекомендаций. CURE‑Bench пытается ответить на вопрос, возможно ли уже сегодня построить качественного медицинского ассистента? Команда AIRI под названием VIM (Владимир Мануйлов (iMak AI Lab) и Илья Макаров (iMak AI Lab, AIRI)) заняла призовое место в треке Internal Model Reasoning . Подробнее о их решении — в данной статье.

TODAY is the first-ever #NeurIPS position paper track!
Come hear thoughtful arguments about “digital heroin,” the nature of innovation, protecting privacy, machine unlearning, & how we can do ML research better as a community.
See you: upper level ballroom 20AB from 10-11a & 3:30-4:30p!
