Overrefusal from Small On-Premises LLMs in Criminal Legal Context

A study investigates the impact of overrefusal on small, on-device large language models when processing legal prompts, finding that authority-style prefixes systematically increase refusal rates by 2 to 20 times compared to a no-prefix baseline. While role-play jailbreak prefixes showed mixed effects across different models, the results indicate that these small LLMs are unstable under contextual framings typical of real institutional users.

Uncertainty-Aware Longitudinal Forecasting of Alzheimer's Disease Progression Using Deep Learning

This study proposes a probabilistic framework for longitudinal modeling of Alzheimer's disease progression that combines ordinal diagnosis prediction, multi-horizon trajectory generation, and decomposed uncertainty estimation. The approach utilizes a Temporal Fusion Transformer encoder and an autoregressive Mixture Density Network to generate five-year probabilistic trajectories while quantifying both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty.

Visualizing 'We the People': Bridging the Perception Gap through Pluralistic Data Storytelling

This article examines how intentional, pluralistic design choices in AI-enabled digital platforms can produce visualizations that emphasize nuance and intergroup commonalities, thereby reducing political polarization. It highlights a specific deliberative technology initiative that maps high-dimensional opinion spaces to reveal areas of both consensus and dissensus among diverse populations.
