Long-running language agents need mechanisms for deciding which experiences should persist after the working context is gone. Retrieval systems can reinsert past text, but they do not by themselves show that an experience has been selectively consolidated into the model's own behavior. We introduce EVAF, an Echo-Valence Attractor Field mechanism for gated LoRA consolidation, and a test-retest protocol for measuring selective parametric consolidation under controlled interference. Across GPT-2 and TinyLlama, EVAF preferentially consolidates high-valence, high-surprise experiences while preserving retrieval-accessible factual memory through a complementary routed memory path. Test-retest measurements show stronger post-interference behavioral persistence than frozen, retrieval-only, and ungated continual-update baselines, while keeping parameter drift and cross-persona contamination low. The results support a separation between memory access and memory depth: retrieving a fact and internalizing an experience are distinct computational operations.
Accurate pixel-level classification of coronary angiograms is critical for cardiovascular disease assessment, yet the field lacks standardized evaluation protocols. In this work we demonstrate a new benchmark for the assessment of deep learning models which densely classify pixel…
A defining problem of the Anthropocene is to model the physical Earth and human societies as one coupled system, yet no learned representation spans their observational breadth. We argue the obstacle is geometric: the physical Earth is measured as continuous fields that ignore po…
Reliable evaluation of open-ended LLM outputs requires fine-grained rubrics, yet expert curation is costly and difficult to scale. Existing automated pipelines rely on strict judge unanimity and binary variance filters, which cannot distinguish measurable rubrics from informative…
Symbolic Regression (SR) aims to discover analytical equations from observational data and plays a central role in scientific modeling. While recent Large Language Model (LLM) based approaches show promise, they face two limitations. First, they lack data analysis mechanisms for…
Reinforcement-learning-based quantum architecture search (RL-QAS) repeatedly optimizes a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) after extending a circuit, although circuit construction and action legality are deterministic and known. We introduce DreamQAS, a model-based RL framewo…
Imitation learning (IL)---training an agent to replicate expert behavior from demonstrations---underpins applications from robotics to language model training. Standard approaches such as Behavior Cloning (BC) are known to suffer from compounding errors and performance plateaus,…
