Synthesizing symbolic models of human and machine reasoning at scale
arXiv:2611.07088v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Symbolic models offer a powerful account of cognition, but their scope has historically been limited by the need for hand-engineering and computational tractability. We show how advances in artificial intelligence (AI) can scale symbolic modeling and help overcome these engineering limitations. We introduce Behavior-Conditioned Symbolic Synthesis (BCSS)---an approach for automated search of interpretable, deterministic symbolic programs that verifiably reproduce behavior---and apply it to model both human and machine behavior across hundreds of challenging reasoning problems. Analyzing these programs reveals that both people and machines tend to oversimplify, adopt rules that are partial explanations for their observations, and misinfer dependencies between problem features. These shared signatures are modulated by available resources, with reasoning effort predicting the extent to which machines simplify and explain their observations. Together, these results point to underlying mechanisms reminiscent of satisficing in both people and machines, and illustrate how BCSS offers a general approach for interpreting and comparing rule-based reasoning of humans and black-box AI systems.

Customers are pulling data back into the Oracle database as agents demand real-time access
A shared semantic layer is fast becoming the dividing line between lakehouses built for reporting and those built for artificial intelligence. As AI agents join human analysts in querying corporate data, enterprises need platforms that make sense of information scattered across clouds, formats and rival systems. Oracle Corp. has spent the past year rebuilding its […] The post Customers are pulling data back into the Oracle database as agents demand real-time access appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Four layers of context engineering for production AI agents: How Deep Insight applies them in working code
In production AI agents, context management is the real bottleneck. This post presents a four-layer context engineering framework (architecture, prompts, file-based tools, and verification agents), implemented in working code from Deep Insight, an open source multi-agent data analysis solution on the Strands Agents SDK and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.

Show HN: SrcWranglr
I spend a lot of time diving deep into C/C++ code bases for various reasons. Normally for Vulnerability Research. I like to get a good feel for the software, it's data structures, control flow, etc. Are all usually important.In the past we have SourceTrail, this is now defunct and its abilities were somewhat limited. If you have thousands to spend you can grab a Understand license... Wait maybe thats SourceNavigator. Either way I wrote SrcWranglr. Its my very first Rust project (congrats to the insufferable Rusteans, I finally cracked and learned Rust).Anyhow SrcWranglr is wicked free, wicked fast, has a modern UI, and features that assist in finding bugs/vulns. You can run semgrep rules over the codebase, or have a fuzz harness generated for you by the program with ease.. Its still super early in development but it already helped me discover a 0day :-).. Give it a shot if you want. I am open to any suggestions and if it is in your heart to contribute let me know. I only get to work on personal projects here and there on account of work... But yea enough babbling.https://github.com/jdefrancesco/SrcWranglr Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50380536 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Towards Robust Long-Lived Agents: Benchmarking Experience Lifecycles in Evolving Environments
arXiv:2611.05450v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As agents become more capable, they are moving beyond one-off tasks toward sustained assistance across successive user goals. Such assistance requires agents to discover how unfamiliar environments work, reuse what they learn across tasks, and keep that experience current as environments evolve. Existing benchmarks increasingly study experience reuse and adaptation, but provide limited insight into which parts of accumulated experience agents revise, retain, or lose. To address this gap, we introduce ReScopeBench, a benchmark for the experience lifecycle across 18 interactive environments. It distinguishes structural experience about how an environment is organized and accessed from rule experience about reusable principles and constraints that guide decisions across tasks. To study how experience is acquired, reused, and revised, we propose an experience-first construction approach. It builds task streams around shared experience and introduces silent environmental changes. We evaluate task performance and track changes in saved experience throughout each stream. Across 20 models, we find that retained experience improves task performance, but agents struggle to keep it current as environments change. Even when the required experience is correctly recorded, agents do not always complete tasks successfully. These findings identify selective maintenance and effective use as complementary challenges for long-lived agents.
Oumi’s Frontier AI Engineer now builds AI agents and retrains the models behind them
Enterprise artificial intelligence platform company Oumi PBC today extended its Frontier AI Engineer agent so it can build AI agents for customers and retrain the models those agents run on. The release goes after a problem that tends to surface once agents leave the demo stage. A failing agent might have a bad prompt, a […] The post Oumi’s Frontier AI Engineer now builds AI agents and retrains the models behind them appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Show HN: Alternative to Nvidia Auto-Ontology
This repo provides an alternative to the ontology compiling capabilities of NVIDA Auto-Ontology.The main difference is that it builds the ontology from most of your existing data assets (transformation code, dashboards, docs), instead of building it from your warehouse and semantic layer only.It consists in skills and python scripts that ingest the metadata and docs your team already has, and compile them into YAML and Markdown files structured in a file tree that an agent can use as context to query your data.When your existing asset contradict, or reveal a gap in the business context around your data, it writes down questions for you and your team instead of guessing a plausible meaning.It runs locally in any coding agent.

Towards Automatic Heart Murmur Characterization from Multi-spot Phonocardiograms
arXiv:2611.03654v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cardiac auscultation traditionally detects the presence of a heart murmur, but clinicians further characterize it by timing, shape, pitch, quality, and grade. Most automatic phonocardiogram analysis systems stop at binary detection and do not estimate this richer description. In this work, we formulate automatic murmur characterization as five patient-level classification tasks and compare three multi-spot strategies on recordings from the aortic, pulmonary, mitral, and tricuspid auscultation locations. First, classical and deep-learning classifiers are trained independently at each location, and predictions are combined via a maximum-severity late-fusion rule. Second, a synchronous multi-input CNN jointly processes one representative segment per location for a single task. Third, a unified multi-input, multi-output CNN predicts all five attributes from one shared multi-spot representation. Using 735 patients from the CirCor DigiScope dataset with complete four-spot recordings, the best late-fusion configurations reach an unweighted mean sensitivity between 85.56% and 93.81% across the five tasks, with class-specific recalls between 80.00% and 100.00% for every relevant category. The multi-input CNN trails late fusion by 7-16 points depending on the task, while the multi-output model reaches values between 72.59% and 79.40%, estimating all five attributes from one shared representation. We further show that naively balancing training data by adding all minority-class segments degrades patient-level performance under the maximum-severity rule, since it introduces non-representative, noisy segments not filtered by the clustering-based segment selection used for evaluation. These results indicate multi-spot murmur characterization is feasible with both fusion-based and jointly learned architectures, outlining a path toward automatic, structured murmur reports complementing binary screening.
