AgentCoMa: A Compositional Benchmark Mixing Commonsense and Mathematical Reasoning in Real-World Scenarios
Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved high accuracy on complex commonsense and mathematical problems that involve the composition of multiple reasoning steps. However, current compositional benchmarks testing these skills tend to focus on either commonsense or math reasoning, whereas LLM agents solving real-world tasks would require a combination of both. In this work, we introduce an Agentic Commonsense and Math benchmark (AgentCoMa), where each compositional task requires a commonsense r…

In non-defence sectors, domestic output has slumped: throughout the first half of 2025, production of televisions and washing machines fell by 30 per cent, footwear by 29 per cent and refrigerators by 12 per cent

Russia's reckoning is coming
Beyond the bluster of his meeting with President Trump, Vladimir Putin is in trouble. Isolated, outmanoeuvred, and stalled on the battlefield, Russia is tottering financially and militarily, while Zelensky's Ukraine continues to hold the upper hand.

CoCoL: A Communication Efficient Decentralized Collaborative Method for Multi-Robot Systems
Collaborative learning enhances the performance and adaptability of multi-robot systems in complex tasks but faces significant challenges due to high communication overhead and data heterogeneity inherent in multi-robot tasks. To this end, we propose CoCoL, a Communication efficient decentralized Collaborative Learning method tailored for multi-robot systems with heterogeneous local datasets. Leveraging a mirror descent framework, CoCoL achieves remarkable communication efficiency with approxim…

Richard Murphy, who previously advocated green growth, gets there in the end.
"The real challenge we face is not how to restart a growth engine that has already driven us to the edge of environmental collapse. It is how to redesign the economy so that the resources we already have are used to meet human and ecological needs.
Growth is not coming back — and nor should our democracy depend upon it."

Growth is not coming back — and nor should our democracy depend upon it
Martin Wolf has (once again) declared in the Financial Times that the fate of democracy rests on economic growth. As he said, in advance of the Budget: [Reeves'] first priority must be to get whatever growth she can.  Growth made democracy possible, he claims, and only growth can now save it, in...

« Nous, chercheurs, témoignons de tout notre soutien à Gabriel Zucman, économiste rigoureux et internationalement reconnu »
Dans une tribune au « Monde », un collectif d’universitaires s’inquiète des attaques et des propos calomnieux dont leur collègue fait l’objet. S’il est légitime de discuter des effets de la taxe que propose l’économiste, les invectives personnelles n’ont, elles, pas leur place dans le débat public, rappellent-ils.
