The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into scientific discovery is currently hindered by the Implicit Context problem, where governing equations extracted from literature contain invisible thermodynamic assumptions (e.g., undrained conditions) that standard generative models fail to recognize. This leads to Physical Hallucination: the generation of syntactically correct solvers that faithfully execute physically invalid laws. Here, we introduce a Neuro-Symbolic Generative Agent that functions as a cognitive supervisor atop traditional numerical engines. By encapsulating physical laws into modular Constitutive Skills and leveraging latent intrinsic priors, the Agent employs a Chain-of-Thought reasoning workflow to autonomously validate, prune, and complete physical mechanisms. We demonstrate this capability on the challenge of thermal pressurization in low-permeability sandstone. While a standard literature-retrieval baseline erroneously predicts catastrophic material failure by blindly adopting a rigid "undrained" simplification, our Agent autonomously identifies the system as operating in a drained regime (Deborah number De << 1) via dimensionless scaling analysis. Consequently, it inductively completes the missing dissipation mechanism (Darcy flow) required to satisfy boundary constraints, predicting a stable stress path consistent with experimental reality. This work establishes a paradigm where AI agents transcend the role of coding assistants to act as epistemic partners, capable of reasoning about and correcting the theoretical assumptions embedded in scientific data.

We introduce our method and system for face recognition using multiple pose-aware deep learning models. In our representation, a face image is processed by several pose-specific deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models to generate multiple pose-specific features. 3D rendering is used to generate multiple face poses from the input image. Sensitivity of the recognition system to pose variations is reduced since we use an ensemble of pose-specific CNN features. The paper presents extensive experimental results on the effect of landmark detection, CNN layer selection and pose model selection on the performance of the recognition pipeline. Our novel representation achieves better results than the state-of-the-art on IARPA's CS2 and NIST's IJB-A in both verification and identification (i.e. search) tasks.
