Everybody is wondering if some ICE agents are actually just bounty hunters, and that's possible but not super likely. What's much more likely is that a good chunk of the agents deployed today are the American equivalent of Wagner, which is currently named "Tripple Canopy" but you probably know as "Blackwater."
It's reasonably likely that the mercenaries who were grabbing people off the streets in Portland in 2020 are back at it for round 2. After all, this is just another opportunity for Trump to dump money in Erik Prince's pocket and wouldn't it be good for Trump to have a man on his side who happens to own a private army?

Deep Research Agents: A Systematic Examination And Roadmap
The rapid progress of Large Language Models (LLMs) has given rise to a new category of autonomous AI systems, referred to as Deep Research (DR) agents. These agents are designed to tackle complex, multi-turn informational research tasks by leveraging a combination of dynamic reasoning, adaptive long-horizon planning, multi-hop information retrieval, iterative tool use, and the generation of structured analytical reports. In this paper, we conduct a detailed analysis of the foundational technolo…

OceanVive: An Immersive Visualization System for Communicating Complex Oceanic Phenomena
Communicating the complexity of oceanic phenomena-such as hypoxia and acidification-poses a persistent challenge for marine science. Despite advances in sensing technologies and computational models, conventional formats like static visualizations and text-based reports often fall short in conveying the dynamics of ocean changes. To address this gap, we present OceanVive, an immersive and interactive visualization system that transforms complex ocean datasets into navigable spatial narratives. …

Aggregated Individual Reporting for Post-Deployment Evaluation
The need for developing model evaluations beyond static benchmarking, especially in the post-deployment phase, is now well-understood. At the same time, concerns about the concentration of power in deployed AI systems have sparked a keen interest in 'democratic' or 'public' AI. In this work, we bring these two ideas together by proposing mechanisms for aggregated individual reporting (AIR), a framework for post-deployment evaluation that relies on individual reports from the public.
