Researchers introduce Smooth Maximum Mean Discrepancy (SMMD) to address the unreliability of large language models in numerically precise tasks caused by standard cross-entropy training objectives. SMMD incorporates value-distance kernels over numeric tokens and graph-based smoothness to align predicted distributions with targets while encouraging local consistency.
Researchers present KG2Cypher, a data-centric pipeline designed to build enterprise text-to-Cypher systems from existing Knowledge Graphs. The system generates executable Cypher queries from graph facts and uses large language models to create corresponding natural-language questions.
This study investigates how temporal metadata can be structurally embedded into Named Entity Recognition (NER) models to address the challenge of entity drift in historical texts. The authors systematically evaluate lightweight fusion strategies, including cross-attention, adapters, and concatenation, within Transformer-based architectures.
This study investigates whether aligning allocation costs with output-space objectives improves the fidelity of compressed large language models, specifically testing a modification to the ROCKET compression method. The authors compare using weight-space Frobenius error against an output reconstruction objective for multi-choice knapsack problem allocation.
The paper introduces SHIFT, a novel framework that mitigates knowledge conflicts in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) by reformulating neuron-level modification as learnable gate modulation. This approach allows large language models to adaptively regulate internal activations to resolve conflicts between retrieved context and parametric knowledge.
Researchers propose a training-free method to select which layers in hybrid attention models should retain full attention, addressing the inefficiency of fixed patterns in long-context inference. By measuring negative log-likelihood degradation on answer tokens, the approach identifies layers critical for maintaining accuracy when switching to sliding-window attention.
The study investigates whether correcting position bias enables single-pass attention sorting to match the performance of iterative methods in long-context language models. Experiments on LLaMA-2 and YaRN-Llama-2 models refute the hypothesis that debiasing alone is sufficient to bridge the performance gap.
The article introduces Complementary Action Modeling (CAM), a task focused on identifying or generating procedural counterparts in automotive maintenance instructions by modifying only the action phrase while preserving the rest of the sentence context.
Researchers extended the Werewolf game with a Jester role to create a triadic social-deduction environment that requires reasoning across three opposing utility functions, challenging large language models' theory-of-mind capabilities. Evaluations on GPT-4.1, DeepSeek-V3.1, and Llama-3.3-70B revealed that while the Jester won 60-70% of games, GPT-4.1 wolves frequently voted the Jester out on day 1 in 60-70% of cases, a self-defeating action driven by language priors.
Researchers propose SD-GPS, a solver-driven framework for geometry problem solving that addresses bottlenecks in autoformalization and theorem prediction by treating the symbolic solver as an execution oracle. This approach unifies supervised formal-language adaptation with solvability-guided reinforcement learning to ensure executability during formalization.
The authors introduce Vocabulary-Aligned Sparse Autoencoder (VASAE), a method that trains sparse autoencoder features using vocabulary-aligned anchoring to assign each feature an intrinsic token name based on the nearest embedding in the Transformer's vocabulary.
A study involving 1,283 participants tested whether AI assistants could enhance cooperation in iterated Collective Risk Games through personalized persuasive framing based on Social Value Orientation profiles. The research found that while pro-social nudges significantly increased contributions and group success rates, these effects were short-lived.
This study addresses the neglect of factual error detection in human-written text by distilling a taxonomy of errors from newspaper article corrections, revealing categories like kanji misconversions that are absent in current hallucination benchmarks. The authors evaluate vanilla large language models on synthesized test cases and real corrections to assess their performance on this specific task.
Researchers propose a multi-stage explainability framework that translates black-box transformer predictions into clinically grounded narratives for speech-based cognitive impairment detection. The system integrates SHAP-based token attribution, linguistic features, and an LLM reasoning pipeline to map model outputs to specific cognitive-linguistic dimensions.
Researchers introduce ToxiREX, a new multilingual dataset designed to capture and explain implicit, context-dependent toxicity within Reddit comment threads. The dataset utilizes a systematic toxic reasoning schema to provide structured annotations for comments related to major global events across six languages.
This article introduces a synthetic multimodal framework designed to replicate First Notice of Loss (FNOL) conditions for insurance fraud detection, addressing the limitations of existing text-only approaches. The system generates agent-customer dialogue transcripts and two-speaker audios to integrate linguistic, behavioral, and speaker-based indicators.
This article introduces a signal-coverage matrix to stratify type and semantic errors in LLM autoformalization, moving beyond scalar type-correctness metrics. The framework categorizes outputs into true success, type-only, semantic-only, or both fail cells by crossing Lean elaborator results with semantic equivalence judgments.
This study proposes a novel tree-of-thoughts inspired extractive-abstractive summarization approach for legal case judgements, addressing the limited exploration of hybrid techniques in prior work. Experiments comparing DeepSeek and LLaMA models demonstrate that this proposed method yields superior summaries compared to traditional extractive or abstractive prompts.
This paper introduces DG^VoiC, a voice clustering framework designed to identify repeated speakers in anonymized real call-center audio to assist in fraud investigation. The method combines sensitive information-aligned anonymization, speech-focused preprocessing, sliding-window speaker embedding extraction, and cosine similarity-based clustering.
A study challenges the assumption that large language models evaluate their own outputs better than they generate them, finding that generation accuracy exceeds self-evaluation on three of four tested benchmarks. The research utilizes a controlled in-context QA setting to isolate evaluation performance from parametric knowledge confounds.
