Know Before Fix: QA-Driven Repository Knowledge Acquisition for Software Issue Resolution
HF ★ 0 · Haotian Lin, Silin Chen, Xiaodong Gu… · HF Mirror
To address the issues that LLM-based automatic code repair agents are prone to errors due to insufficient repository knowledge, and existing pre-exploration solutions fail to targetedly fill knowledge gaps, this paper proposes the QA-driven ACQUIRE framework: simulating the developer logic of understanding code first before repairing, it first obtains structured repository knowledge through collaboration of question answering modules, then generates patches based on the acquired knowledge. Experiments show that its Pass@1 on SWE-bench is up to 4.4 percentage points higher than existing methods, with low additional overhead.

Knowledge Graphs Meet Graph Neural Networks: A Comprehensive Survey
Chengcheng Sun, Jiayun Tian, Cheng Zhai…
This survey on the integration of GNN and knowledge graphs fills the gap of no systematic review of GNN applications across the entire KG technical pipeline, and proposes a two-dimensional classification framework: one is the full life cycle dimension covering KG construction, embedding, inference, and application, the other is the technical dimension of GNN models including GCN, GAT, HGNN, etc. It sorts out the advantages and disadvantages of related methods, analyzes the strengths of GNN adapting to various KG tasks, and finally points out existing challenges and future research directions.
Position: Every Ground Truth is a Human Construction, not an Objective Truth
Charlotte H”ogberg, Ericka Johnson, Kiri L. Wagstaff
This position paper in the field of machine learning points out that the ground truth used for model training and evaluation is not an inherently objective measurement standard, but a product of joint construction by humans and technology, with a large number of undisclosed human choices, and is scenario-dependent rather than universal. It recommends that the academic community clarify the trade-off boundaries in ground truth construction and practice the concept of “contextual reliability”, which can not only improve the rationality of model application, but also enhance transparency and accountability, and promote interdisciplinary collaboration.
AuditWeave: A Tamper-Evident, Auditor-Navigable Evidence Layer for AI-Assisted and Data-Transformation Workflows
Vimal Nakrani
To meet the requirements of post-hoc traceability and tamper-proof records for AI decisions in the regulatory field, as existing operation-oriented traceability tools are not suitable for auditors’ case-by-case traceability scenarios, this paper launches AuditWeave, a lightweight Python library with no runtime dependencies: it uses an append-only hash chain ledger to uniformly record the entire process including RAG and data warehouse transformation, supporting end-to-end traceability. Actual measurements show that the overhead per event is only tens of microseconds, and all 2000 random tampering tests were detected, with excellent tamper-proof reliability.

How to manage AI investments in the agentic era
OpenAI
This research focuses on the pain points of enterprise AI investment management in the agentic era, and proposes a systematic optimization path: taking “effective workload per unit of investment” as the measurement standard, it targetedly improves AI implementation efficiency, while screening high-value business processes to focus on large-scale AI deployment. This solution can help enterprises avoid the pitfall of blind investment, effectively improve the input-output ratio of AI, and adapt to the industry stage needs of agent technology implementation.

After Orthogonality: Virtue-Ethical Agency and AI Alignment
The Gradient
This AI alignment paper challenges the traditional assumption that “rational agents are action-oriented towards fixed goals”, and proposes that the core of human rationality is that actions match a practical network including behaviors, tendencies, evaluation standards, and resources, rather than pointing to a final goal. For AI to truly adapt to human agency, its decision-making logic needs to be “isomorphic” with human practical action logic. This path is not only conducive to aligning with ethical requirements such as human well-being, but also guarantees core security attributes.

Harness Engineering for Self-Improvement
Lilian Weng
Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) is a classic concept in the field of AI self-iteration. In 1965, scholar Irving John Good first proposed the related concept of ultra-intelligent machines, and in 2008, Eliezer Yudkowsky clarified its core logic: AI can rely on its existing intelligence level to iteratively upgrade the cognitive architecture that supports its own intelligence. In the current AI technology context, this feedback path is divided into two categories: one is the model directly rewriting its own weights, the other is optimizing its own training process to achieve upgrading.
