LLM-Based Examination of Eligibility Criteria from Securities Prospectuses at the German Central Bank

This paper presents the first case study applying Large Language Models to the German Central Bank's process of verifying securities eligibility for collateral, shifting from traditional Named Entity Recognition to a generative Information Extraction pipeline. The approach decomposes the task into extraction, normalization, and interpretation to handle noisy text and bilingual content more effectively.

Assessing Post-Reform Changes in Risk Disclosure Quality with a Multidimensional Text Analysis Approach

This study proposes a longitudinal text analysis framework combining Japanese-language NLP metric extraction with paired testing and shift function analysis to evaluate qualitative changes in corporate risk disclosures. Applied to Japan's 2019 disclosure reforms, the approach analyzes 19,770 firm-year observations over ten years to capture multidimensional dynamics often masked by single-indicator methods.

Mapping Political-Elite Networks in Europe with a Multilingual Joint Entity-Relation Extraction Pipeline

Researchers present a modular, fully open-weight pipeline for multilingual joint entity-relation extraction that builds signed, temporal knowledge graphs from massive unstructured news corpora. The system combines span-based named-entity recognition with a linking cascade to Wikidata and an ontology-constrained mixture-of-experts model to extract directed relationships.

Nemotron-TwoTower: Diffusion Language Modeling with Pretrained Autoregressive Context

NVIDIA introduces Nemotron-TwoTower, a diffusion language model that decouples context representation and iterative denoising into two separate networks to overcome capacity limitations in existing approaches. Built on the open-weight Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B model and trained on 2.1T tokens, it retains 98.7% of the autoregressive baseline's quality while achieving 2.42X higher wall-clock generation throughput.

Humans Disengage, Reasoning Models Persist: Separating Difficulty Registration from Deliberation Allocation

A study reveals that while large reasoning models (LRMs) and humans both spend more time on harder problems, they diverge significantly in how they allocate deliberation within specific items. When making errors, LRMs generate more tokens than when correct, whereas humans do the opposite, spending less time on trials they get wrong.

MemStrata: Eliminating Stale-Fact Errors in RAG Agents via Temporal Validity

The article introduces MemStrata, a retrieval memory system designed to eliminate stale-fact errors in AI agents by maintaining temporal validity within accumulated knowledge. Unlike standard Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which struggles to distinguish between duplicated and contradicted facts due to embedding similarity, MemStrata uses a deterministic supersession rule to retire outdated information.

Erase-then-Delta Attention: Decoupling Erase and Write Addresses in Delta-Rule Linear Attention

The authors propose Erase-then-Delta Attention (EDA), a memory update rule for recurrent models that decouples the address used to erase stale information from the address used to write new content. This approach addresses the limitation of delta-rule linear attention, which cannot actively remove outdated data stored at different locations before writing.

The Inattentional Gap: Task-Conditioned Models Omit Safety Signals

A study reveals that conditioning language and vision models on narrow tasks suppresses their ability to report co-present, safety-critical signals they can otherwise detect. This phenomenon, termed the "Inattentional Gap," demonstrates a dissociation between measured benchmark safety and real-world safety.

Adversarial Diffusion Across Modalities: A Fusion Survey of Attacks, Defenses, and Evaluation

This survey integrates four disconnected tracks of adversarial evaluation—diffusion-based attacks on text and LLMs, image classifiers, vision-language models, and input purification defenses—into a single conceptual framework. It focuses on the LLM-side slice to unify vocabulary, threat models, and benchmarks around denoising diffusion as a shared generative mechanism.
