Prompting Strategy Effects Depend on the Judge: A Multilingual Study of LLM-as-a-Judge Robustness

LLM-as-a-Judge evaluation is increasingly applied to multilingual tasks, yet prompting strategies such as Chain-of-Thought and Role Conditioning are recommended based solely on English benchmarks. Whether their effectiveness transfers across judge models and languages remains unknown: prompt-sensitivity studies are lar...

Memory before Goal: Role of Pre-History Memory for Humanoid Loco-Manipulation

Humanoid loco-manipulation in dynamic scenes is non-Markovian: cues vanish as objects change or are hidden, or leave the view as the robot turns and walks, yet whole-body vision-language-action (VLA) policies see only the present. We present WholeBodyMem, an object-guided perceptual memory that keeps the pre-history of...

Prediction Uncertainty Controlled Computer Model Calibration

A two-layer framework that targets predictive miscoverage directly for calibration parameters and conformal risk control arranges posterior draws for the target observation into nested candidate sets and selects the smallest one whose fixed-rank pointwise bands attain a prescribed time-averaged miscoverage on a synthet...

Prompt Sensitivity in Tool-Augmented Model Comparisons

Language models are compared on question-answering benchmarks that pose each question in one wording, and a reworded question can change which of two models scores higher. We ask whether giving the models tools makes such comparisons more stable. An accuracy gain cannot answer this, because tools change several steps b...

GM-GReFEL: Geometry-Guided Spatiotemporal State-Space Learning for Robust Dynamic Facial Expression Recognition

Recognizing facial expressions in unconstrained video suffers from two coupled problems: self-attention grows quadratically in cost with clip length, and crowdsourced labels are noisy. We present GM-GReFEL, a spatiotemporal state-space network with a geometry-aware decision stage. Its Modulated GroupMamba backbone repl...

Mixing Matters: Evidence Position Bias Across Sequence Mixers in Long-Context Question Answering

Long-context models often use answer-bearing evidence less effectively when it appears away from a prompt boundary. We compare this position bias across Transformer, state-space, and hybrid Mamba architectures by moving one gold document through a fixed set of nine distractors. The evaluated Transformers show a beginni...

Post-Audit Mirage: Identifiability Limits of Offline Agent Verification

Offline tests can fail to reveal whether an agent update will remain safe after deployment. We operationalize this post-audit mirage using matched safe and harmful lifecycles that expose identical verifier-visible evidence while an isolated scorer records opposite deployment truth. Our theorem applies standard observat...

Delta N-gram: Forward-Only Continual Writing into a Language Model's Native N-gram Memory

Our previous analysis found that a model's native hashed N-gram table is where continual updates disturb the base least, but its writes needed backpropagation and changed the pretrained table. We present Delta N-gram, a forward-only write path into that table. The pretrained table T^0 is never modified. Evidence is wri...

DRAFT: Decoding and Reconstructing 3D Room Layouts from fMRI and Camera Trajectories

While functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) decoders reconstruct images and 3D objects, recovering the metric geometry of rooms from a moving viewpoint remains an open challenge. We introduce, to our knowledge for the first time, the task of reconstructing 3D layouts of held-out scenes using only the known camer...

NN-Based Transistor Modeling for Ultra-Fast SPICE Simulation and Standard Cell Library Characterization

These experiments reveal that NN-based models are a valid alternative to existing transistor compact models, capable of producing accurate delay and power estimates with a much higher speed and convergence time compared to the conventional Verilog-A-based industry-standard (BSIM-CMG) transistor compact model.

Mostly Reading: What Open-Book Scores Measure in Document-Level LoRA Adapters

Single-document LoRA adapters have been proposed as units of knowledge to be merged and retrieved; yet open-book scoring, with the document in the prompt, can credit a document's own adapter (its specialist) for reading that document as readily as for holding it. Training one adapter for each of 150 Wikipedia articles...

Diagnostic Loss: Asymmetric Supervision for Radiology Report Generation

Automated radiology report generation requires models to do more than produce fluent clinical narratives: they must explicitly state supported diagnoses while avoiding unsupported ones. However, existing medical vision-language models (MedVLMs) are typically trained with token-level maximum likelihood objectives, which...
