Confusion-Aware Rubric Optimization for LLM-based Automated Gradingcs.AI updates on arXiv.org arXiv:2603.00451v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Accurate and unambiguous guidelines are critical for large language model (LLM) based graders, yet manually crafting these prompts is often sub-optimal as LLMs can misinterpret expert guidelines or lack necessary domain specificity. Consequently, the field has moved toward automated prompt optimization to refine grading guidelines without the burden of manual trial and error. However, existing frameworks typically aggregate independent and unstructured error samples into a single update step, resulting in “rule dilution” where conflicting constraints weaken the model’s grading logic. To address these limitations, we introduce Confusion-Aware Rubric Optimization (CARO), a novel framework that enhances accuracy and computational efficiency by structurally separating error signals. CARO leverages the confusion matrix to decompose monolithic error signals into distinct modes, allowing for the diagnosis and repair of specific misclassification patterns individually. By synthesizing targeted “fixing patches” for dominant error modes and employing a diversity-aware selection mechanism, the framework prevents guidance conflict and eliminates the need for resource-heavy nested refinement loops. Empirical evaluations on teacher education and STEM datasets demonstrate that CARO significantly outperforms existing SOTA methods. These results suggest that replacing mixed-error aggregation with surgical, mode-specific repair yields robust improvements in automated assessment scalability and precision.

Monotropic Artificial Intelligence: Toward a Cognitive Taxonomy of Domain-Specialized Language Modelscs.AI updates on arXiv.org arXiv:2603.00350v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The prevailing paradigm in artificial intelligence research equates progress with scale: larger models trained on broader datasets are presumed to yield superior capabilities. This assumption, while empirically productive for general-purpose applications, obscures a fundamental epistemological tension between breadth and depth of knowledge. We introduce the concept of emph{Monotropic Artificial Intelligence} — language models that deliberately sacrifice generality to achieve extraordinary precision within narrowly circumscribed domains. Drawing on the cognitive theory of monotropism developed to understand autistic cognition, we argue that intense specialization represents not a limitation but an alternative cognitive architecture with distinct advantages for safety-critical applications. We formalize the defining characteristics of monotropic models, contrast them with conventional polytropic architectures, and demonstrate their viability through Mini-Enedina, a 37.5-million-parameter model that achieves near-perfect performance on Timoshenko beam analysis while remaining deliberately incompetent outside its domain. Our framework challenges the implicit assumption that artificial general intelligence constitutes the sole legitimate aspiration of AI research, proposing instead a cognitive ecology in which specialized and generalist systems coexist complementarily.

Retrieval, Refinement, and Ranking for Text-to-Video Generation via Prompt Optimization and Test-Time Scalingcs.AI updates on arXiv.org arXiv:2603.01509v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: While large-scale datasets have driven significant progress in Text-to-Video (T2V) generative models, these models remain highly sensitive to input prompts, demonstrating that prompt design is critical to generation quality. Current methods for improving video output often fall short: they either depend on complex, post-editing models, risking the introduction of artifacts, or require expensive fine-tuning of the core generator, which severely limits both scalability and accessibility. In this work, we introduce 3R, a novel RAG based prompt optimization framework. 3R utilizes the power of current state-of-the-art T2V diffusion model and vision language model. It can be used with any T2V model without any kind of model training. The framework leverages three key strategies: RAG-based modifiers extraction for enriched contextual grounding, diffusion-based Preference Optimization for aligning outputs with human preferences, and temporal frame interpolation for producing temporally consistent visual contents. Together, these components enable more accurate, efficient, and contextually aligned text-to-video generation. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of 3R in enhancing the static fidelity and dynamic coherence of generated videos, underscoring the importance of optimizing user prompts.
