FUSE: Ensembling Verifiers with Zero Labeled Data
Lee, Joonhyuk, Ma, Virginia, Zhao, Sarah, Nair, Yash, Spector, Asher, Cohen, Regev, Candès, Emmanuel J.
Verification of model outputs is rapidly emerging as a key primitive for both training and real-world deployment of large language models (LLMs). In practice, this often involves using imperfect LLM judges and reward models since ground truth acquisition can be time-consuming and expensive. We introduce Fully Unsupervised Score Ensembling (FUSE), a method for improving verification quality by ensembling verifiers without access to ground truth correctness labels. The key idea behind FUSE is to control conditional dependencies between verifiers in a manner that improves the unsupervised performance of a class of spectral algorithms from the ensembling literature. Despite requiring zero ground truth labels, FUSE typically matches or improves upon semi-supervised alternatives in test-time scaling experiments with diverse sets of generator models, verifiers, and benchmarks. In particular, we validate our method on both conventional academic benchmarks such as GPQA Diamond and on frontier, unsaturated benchmarks such as Humanity's Last Exam and IMO Shortlist questions.

Online learning with noisy side observations
Kocák, Tomáš, Neu, Gergely, Valko, Michal
We propose a new partial-observability model for online learning problems where the learner, besides its own loss, also observes some noisy feedback about the other actions, depending on the underlying structure of the problem. We represent this structure by a weighted directed graph, where the edge weights are related to the quality of the feedback shared by the connected nodes. Our main contribution is an efficient algorithm that guarantees a regret of $\widetilde{O}(\sqrt{α^* T})$ after $T$ rounds, where $α^*$ is a novel graph property that we call the effective independence number. Our algorithm is completely parameter-free and does not require knowledge (or even estimation) of $α^*$. For the special case of binary edge weights, our setting reduces to the partial-observability models of Mannor and Shamir (2011) and Alon et al. (2013) and our algorithm recovers the near-optimal regret bounds.

Inside the Colosseum's Passage of Commodus, where emperors once walked
Inside the Colosseum's Passage of Commodus, where emperors once walked One theory suggests the infamous Roman emperor survived an assassination attempt in the tunnel now open to the public. From October 2024 to September 2025, a team of experts restored part of the tunnel that's open to visitors for the first time. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. They say all roads lead to Rome . But in the Eternal City, all of the major roads were thought to lead somewhere very specific--a single column called the Milliarium Auereum, or the golden milestone.
