Studying Without a Syllabus: Task-Agnostic Environment Preprocessing

Vinay Samuel, Varun Ursekar, Vijay S. Kalmath +3

Before an LLM agent tackles tasks in a new environment, it can inspect available corpora and tools and construct reusable resources such as indices, scripts, or procedural guidance…

CliniCARE-Bench: Clinical Calibrated Audit of Medical Reasoning in EHR

Veronica Chatrath, Bryan Zhu, George Pu +16

Large language models perform strongly on medical knowledge benchmarks, but reliable clinical deployment requires agents to conduct defensible investigations over heterogeneous, lo…

HarnessOpt-Bench: Evaluating LLMs at Harness Optimization

Varun Ursekar, Apaar Shanker, Yash Maurya +4

As LLMs are increasingly deployed within agentic systems, their capabilities depend not only on the model weights but also on the harness: the prompts, tools, control flow, memory,…

Ion Crystal Metamorphoses in a Paul trap

V. Ursekar, J. M. Silvester, Y. S. Nam +1

The standard second-order pseudo-oscillator potential used in many analytical investigations of the properties of ions stored in a Paul trap has serious limitations. In this paper…
