3. Screening of Biosecurity Features in Metagenomic Data with Evo 2 Probes
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This study explores the use of the pretrained Evo 2 genomic foundation model for biosecurity screening. By training minimal linear and attention probes on frozen Evo 2 layer-26 activations without fine-tuning the underlying model, the probes achieve high accuracy in detecting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and bacterial virulence in metagenomic data. A linear probe reaches a region-level ROC-AUC of 0.888, rising to 0.977 with a single-head attention probe. The probes also generalize to simulated short reads without assembly. This work positions lightweight embedding-based probes as a fast, inexpensive first-pass detection layer for metagenomic biosurveillance, while mapping both strengths and current limits of the approach.

Experiments show that the agent not only discovers the oscillatory Kapitza pendulum motion but also damps the pendulum's pivoting, leaving it strictly upright. The method integrates physics priors into RL reward design, offering a new approach to challenging nonlinear control problems.

1. Linus Torvalds: Linux is not anti-AI, AI is clearly a useful tool
   T2Simon Willison 博客（Atom）

   Linus Torvalds, in a Linux media mailing list post, firmly stated that Linux is not an anti-AI project and that AI is a clearly useful tool, like any other. He argued that while it might not have been obvious a year ago, the usefulness of AI is no longer in question today, and those who doubt it clearly haven't used it. This decisive stance from the top-level maintainer signals a strong embrace of generative AI in the core open-source ecosystem, potentially influencing community norms and project policies.

He argues these terms are overhyped and ill-defined, preferring to focus on building practical world-model-based AI systems. This stance highlights the divergence between academia and industry in naming AI capabilities and sparks debate on AI development trajectories.

1. TRACE: Turn-level Reward Assignment via Credit Estimation for Long-Horizon Agents
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   Long-horizon multi-turn agents require extensive tool calls, making outcome rewards sparse, high-variance, and misleading. This paper proposes TRACE, a dense credit assignment method that converts gold-answer log-probabilities from a frozen reference model into state values and derives per-action rewards via temporal-difference changes, requiring no critic or process labels. On BrowseComp-Plus, TRACE boosts Qwen3-4B from 7.2 to 35.6 and Qwen3-30B-A3B from 8.4 to 42.6, using pure RL without cold-start SFT or web data, with earlier improvement and faster convergence.

2. Rethinking Penetration Testing for AI-Enabled Systems: From Resource Compromise to Behavioral Objective Violation
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This paper proposes a shift in penetration testing for AI-enabled systems from traditional resource compromise to behavioral objective violation. The authors define AI-enabled penetration as the feasible induction of AI-governed behavior that violates operational objectives, extending conventional testing to adversarial pathways such as prompt injection, data poisoning, sensor manipulation, and tool misuse. A workflow covering identification of objectives, mapping behavior, analyzing influence surfaces, defining failure criteria, scenario-based testing, and reporting evidence is presented, with an example of an AI-enabled SOC assistant. This provides a technical framework for evaluating adversarial success in deployed AI systems.

3. Music-to-Dance Generation via Atomic Movements
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This work introduces a structure-aware framework for music-driven dance generation, modeling choreography as a sequence of semantically interpretable atomic movements. By segmenting large-scale dance data and clustering into atomic movement groups, and using a large language model for semantic relabeling, a vocabulary of atomic movements is constructed. A two-stage generation pipeline first plans atomic movement types, durations, and timings conditioned on music, then synthesizes smooth and coherent motion. Experiments show significant improvements in structural coherence, rhythmic alignment, and perceptual naturalness over baselines, with enhanced interpretability and controllable editing.

4. Do Agent Optimizers Compound? A Continual-Learning Evaluation on Terminal-Bench 2.0
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This paper challenges the one-shot evaluation of agent optimization methods on static benchmarks and proposes a two-phase continual-learning framework. On hard tasks from Terminal-Bench 2.0, the authors compare three methods: GEPA, Meta Harness, and RELAI-VCL. Results show that only RELAI-VCL, which incorporates regression control, achieves compounding gains—positive transfer to unseen tasks and continued improvement after new tasks are added, reaching a lifelong average pass rate of 76.4%, significantly outperforming baselines.

5. MetaPerch: Learning from Metadata for Bioacoustics Foundation Models
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   MetaPerch is a novel bioacoustic foundation model that leverages recording metadata such as location and time as auxiliary supervision signals to enhance species identification. Through extensive experiments on 17 datasets, MetaPerch demonstrates robustness to species distribution changes and acoustic domain shifts, offering significant value for real-world passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) deployments. The work shows that structured utilization of metadata can substantially improve generalization performance of foundation models.

6. Linear Independent Component Analysis via Optimal Transport
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This paper proposes the OT-ICA algorithm, which uses the squared Wasserstein distance to measure non-Gaussianity instead of traditional proxies like negentropy. It proves that maximizing the Wasserstein distance between projected data and a standard Gaussian recovers independent components. Empirical evaluations show OT-ICA outperforms proxy-based methods across various latent distributions, and applications to EEG artifact removal and econometric price discovery demonstrate its practicality without distributional assumptions.

7. Hindcast: Replaying Prediction Markets to Evaluate LLM Forecasters
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This paper introduces Hindcast, a method to fairly evaluate LLMs' forecasting ability. Traditional backtesting suffers from information leakage: LLMs can surface post-event reports or exploit training data containing future knowledge, turning foresight into recall. Hindcast closes both leaks by freezing a Reddit snapshot at a chosen past date t₀, allowing the model to read only posts before t₀. It replays resolved Polymarket prediction markets and compares forecasts against both outcomes and market prices at t₀. Experiments show that once leaks are closed, retrieval helps only when Reddit discussed the event beforehand; otherwise, it hurts performance.

8. Constraint-Aware Counterfactual Editing for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) requires models to identify sentiment toward specific aspects. Traditional counterfactual generation methods often alter non-target aspects or cause semantic drift. This paper proposes CAVE-ABSA, a framework that localizes opinion spans, performs controlled rewriting, refines via repair module, and validates through aspect-level checks, semantic similarity, AMR structural preservation, edit minimality, fluency, and contradiction detection. It generates and validates aspect-level counterfactuals for robustness evaluation and data augmentation, ensuring models rely on aspect-grounded sentiment reasoning.
