ToMStories: Interpreting Theory-of-Mind in Synthetic Narratives

Understanding people often requires inferring what they feel or want from how they behave rather than from what they state outright. We ask whether language models can make these inferences, and how they do so. We introduce Theory-of-Mind Stories (ToMStories), an evaluation dataset of ~6,000 short synthetically generat...

A Plausible Explanation Is Enough to Mislead Multimodal Judges

JUPE, a visual-question-answering (VQA)-style benchmark that fixes answers while varying explanations is introduced, finding a significant mean shift in decision criterion toward acceptance, without a clear change in mean discriminability.

Mitigating Demographic Disparities in Explanation-Human Alignment via Rationale Regularization

We study explanation fairness in hate speech detection. High classification performance does not always mean that a model produces equally plausible explanations for different demographic groups. Using the HateXplain dataset, we introduce Plausibility-EFG, a metric that measures the largest difference in explanation pl...

AuditKIT: A Unified Evaluation Spine for Benchmarking, Judging, and Comparing Large Language Models and Agentic Systems

Evaluating language models and agents requires combining benchmark accuracy, judge-based assessment, runtime performance, tool-use behavior, and retrieval quality. Differences in interfaces, metric semantics, and trace formats complicate these comparisons and can hide failures in agentic workflows. We present AuditKIT,...

Cross-Dialect Generalization Without Retraining: Benchmarks and Evaluation of Schema-Derived Constrained Decoding for MLIR

Multi-Level Intermediate Representation (MLIR) underlies modern ML compiler infrastructure (TensorFlow, JAX/StableHLO, PyTorch Inductor, IREE), yet appears only in trace amounts in code-LM pretraining corpora. MLIR is also extensible by design: new dialects ship per application domain, so a fine-tuned model per dialect...

Learning to Reason About Implicit Multimodal Harm: From Diagnosis to Generalization

A benign image paired with a benign caption can become harmful only in combination, making detection fundamentally a cross-modal reasoning problem. Existing multimodal harm benchmarks evaluate only classification accuracy, leaving unclear whether models identify the cross-modal mechanism that produces harm. We introduc...

ECPO: Evidence-Coupled Policy Optimization for Verifier-Audited Candidate Ranking

Ranking systems used for decision support should expose evidence that can be audited independently of the model's ranking scores. We study a closed-roster setting in which a policy jointly emits a Top-$K$ ranking and candidate-linked, span-grounded evidence bundles. Evidence-Coupled Policy Optimization (ECPO) combines...

Exploration and Experimentation with a Misspecified Simulator

Randomized experiments are the standard for measuring causal effects that guide decisions, but are costly. Simulators calibrated to historical data offer a cheaper alternative, but their policies can become suboptimal under drift, a change in dynamics after calibration. We study if, when, and how to collect data for re...

Coordination Matters: Process-Aware Evaluation of Cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

Cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) benchmarks commonly emphasize aggregate outcomes such as return, success rate, or completion time. While essential, these metrics can obscure how agents coordinate and fail to distinguish policies that achieve similar outcomes through different interaction processes...

A Theoretical Analysis of Test-Driven Code Generation

Code assistants are increasingly utilized in test-driven software development, yet the theoretical mechanisms behind their environment-interaction strategies remain underexplored. We provide a probabilistic framework for two dominant paradigms: code selection after generation using the execution environment, and code g...

Pro-AI Bias in Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly employed for decision-support across multiple domains. We ask whether these models favor artificial intelligence (AI) itself. We examine this question through three experiments. First, in open-ended advice across investment, study, career, and startup domains, AI is promine...

Operon: Incremental Construction of Ragged Data via Named Dimensions

Modern data processing workflows frequently encounter ragged data: collections with variable-length elements that arise naturally in domains like natural language processing, scientific measurements, and autonomous AI agents. Existing workflow engines lack native support for tracking the shapes and dependencies inheren...
