The MLLP-VRAIN group submits a cascaded SimulST system using Parakeet and Qwen 3.5 models with adaptive black-box policies. For En→De, It, Zh, it employs ASR word-boosting and RAG with pre-translated exemplars in the new context track, achieving +5.82 XCOMET-XL improvement on MCIF En→De and an additional +1.03 gain via context integration.
MODE-RAG proposes a multi-agent system using Variational Free Energy to dynamically gate interventions and reduce cross-modal hallucinations in retrieval-augmented generation. It integrates Monte Carlo Tree Search and logit perturbations to address causal fabrications and sycophancy, with dedicated agents ensuring factual verification and formatting stability. Evaluated via ModeVent, a subset of MultiVent, the system significantly improves robustness against logical fabrications.
