How Good Are Frontier Models at Physics? Expert Re-Grading Reveals Broken Evaluations and Near-Saturation of Leading Benchmarks
Ali Ansari, Haoran Sun, Andy Zeyi Liu +48
Low reported scores on leading physics benchmarks, including those featured in the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (2026), suggest that frontier language models still strugg…
ERUnderstand: Evaluating Vision-Language Models on Structured ER Diagrams
Ali Ansari, Yasmin Mohammadi, Farnoush Nili +3
Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) are central to conceptual database design, yet they are typically available only as rendered images rather than machine-readable schemas, limiti…
No Last Mile: A Theory of the Human Data Market
Ali Ansari, Mark Esposito, Ava Fitoussy +1
The standard framing treats structured human-data work as transitional, a bridge between today's imperfect models and a future state where automation is complete. We challenge this…
Evaluating Speech-to-Text x LLM x Text-to-Speech Combinations for AI Interview Systems
Rumi Allbert, Nima Yazdani, Ali Ansari +3
Voice-based conversational AI systems increasingly rely on cascaded architectures that combine speech-to-text (STT), large language models (LLMs), and text-to-speech (TTS) componen…
Zara: An LLM-based Candidate Interview Feedback System
Nima Yazdani, Aruj Mahajan, Ali Ansari
This paper introduces Zara, an AI-driven recruitment support system developed by micro1, as a practical case study illustrating how large language models (LLMs) can enhance the can…
