Computational Study of Lexical Transmission Across Bengali Devotional Traditions

A computational corpus study analyzes vocabulary relationships across eight layers of Bengali and Sanskrit devotional literature from the 8th to 19th centuries, quantifying the historical claim that Buddhist Vajrayana vocabulary was absorbed into the Shakta Tantra tradition. Using TF-IDF character n-gram vectorization on 75 texts, the research provides the first quantitative corroboration of this lexical transmission chain.

Cascaded Multi-Granularity Pruning for On-Device LLM Inference in Industrial IoT

This article introduces a cascaded multi-granularity pruning framework designed to deploy large language models on Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) edge devices by removing layers, attention heads, and feed-forward channels in a coarse-to-fine order. The method utilizes lightweight low-rank recovery between stages to re-estimate component importance, addressing the collapse of existing structured pruning methods at high compression ratios.

Heterogeneous Neural Predictivity from Language Models During Naturalistic Comprehension

This study demonstrates that frozen language models can serve as effective neural predictors for brain activity during natural speech and text comprehension, while distinguishing predictive utility from claims about shared neural organization. The analysis of MEG and ECoG data revealed widespread positive prediction gains over low-level baselines, though participant-level advantages were localized rather than uniform.

Auditing Framing-Sensitive Behavioral Instability in LLMs for Mental Health

This study investigates how semantically similar concerns presented through different contextual framings elicit varying responses from instruction-tuned large language models, potentially challenging system reliability. Using controlled matched prompts and layer-wise probing analyses, the authors demonstrate that framing systematically alters interpretive response tendencies across multiple model architectures.
