Do Factuality Methods Make LLMs More Factual? Reproducibility and Fair Comparison

Large Language Models (LLMs) are aligned to human preferences, after pre-training and supervised fine-tuning steps. However, standard RL alignment steps such as RLHF do not focus on factuality of LLMs, hence they may generate non-factual information, which could result in unintended consequences. In response, a number...

Not All Drift Is a Mechanism: Tracing Prompt Adaptation in LLMs

Prompt-based adaptation offers several ways to specialize a frozen language model, ranging from natural-language prompt optimization to learned continuous prompts. These methods are usually compared through downstream performance, although similar outputs need not arise from similar internal computations. We study how...

Graph-free Retrieval with Graph-Modified Embeddings

Dense vector retrieval can miss evidence connected through intermediate entities, while direct graph retrieval requires access to the graph at query time. We compare five offline graph-based embedding transformations and strategies for using the resulting graph-modified embeddings alongside the originals, without query...

PRISM: Calibrating Black-Box Judges with Counterfactual Probes

Large language models are increasingly used as judges to reduce reliance on costly human evaluation, yet their scores can systematically disagree with human judgments. We ask whether responses to an explicitly imposed evaluative bias can help correct a judge's implicit scoring biases. We introduce PRISM (Probe-based Re...

Urbex: Agentic Spatial Grounding for City-Scale 3D Scenes

City-scale 3D grounding is commonly formulated as candidate ranking, which requires precomputed instance proposals and becomes inefficient in large outdoor scenes. We propose Urbex, an agentic vision-language framework that instead casts grounding as active spatial search. Urbex represents a city-scale 3D scene as an i...

Let the Mind Conceive, Let the Hand Achieve: Following Multimodal Instructions for Long-Horizon Robotic Manipulation

A robot following a multi-step instruction needs to act on the right objects in the right order, even as the scene changes. It must also maintain awareness of task progress and determine when to advance. To address these challenges, we introduce Orchestra, an agent harness that separates task planning and execution man...

Lightweight but Linguistically Fair? Quantisation Robustness across Bavarian, German, and English

Post-training quantisation reduces the memory cost of large language models, but it remains unclear whether compression preserves language skills of regional varieties as reliably as their standard-language counterparts. We study this question for Bavarian, Standard German, and English using BAVGROUND, a multiple-choic...

ShoeFit: A New Dataset and Dual-image-stream DiT Framework for Virtual Footwear Try-On

Virtual footwear try-on (VFTON), a critical yet underexplored area in virtual try-on (VTON), aims to synthesize faithful try-on results given diverse footwear and model images while maintaining 3D consistency and texture authenticity. Unlike conventional garment-focused VTON methods, VFTON presents unique challenges du...

SimInter: Evidence-Grounded User Simulation with Interview-Based Profile Enrichment for Conversational Recommender Systems

Conversational Recommender Systems (CRSs) require reliable user simulators for cost-effective evaluation. LLM-based simulators have made realistic simulation possible but typically condition on profiles derived from explicit ratings, demographics, and static sources capturing surface preferences while omitting implicit...

AffectWorld: Benchmarking Emotion-Driven Future World Prediction

The world encompasses both physical environments and human actors. Predicting its evolution requires understanding both physical laws and how emotions shape human actions. However, existing world model benchmarks primarily assess physical plausibility and perceptual quality, leaving emotion-driven world evolution large...

Which Optimizer Leaks Most? Optimizer Implicit Bias as a Training-Data Privacy Controller

Releasing a neural network checkpoint can leak information about its training data, and existing reconstruction results rely on gradient-descent training. We ask whether the choice of optimizer affects the ability to recover the training data. Extending work connecting Karush--Kuhn--Tucker conditions to training-data r...
