Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to support research idea generation and scientific discovery. Multi-agent debate offers a collaborative approach to this task by bringing together diverse perspectives to develop research ideas. However, a key challenge is how to equip agents with distinct and meaningf...

Dictionary-like definition generators are known to be useful for lexical semantic change detection (LSCD). However, they suffer from overly granular sense distribution, producing excessive number of definitions for one and the same lexical sense. In this work, we show that fine-tuning with Direct Preference Optimizatio...
To understand the emergence of grammatical behavior in language models, we track circuits for subject-verb number agreement in pythia-1b and ten seeds of pythia-410m across training. We find that subject-verb agreement is learned early, and is initially handled by a diffuse collection of neurons. However, after agreeme...

Introduction: Increasing volumes of individual case safety reports (ICSRs) challenge expert-led causality assessment in pharmacovigilance. We developed MARCA (Multi-Agent Retrieval-Augmented Causality Assessment), a four-agent framework for Naranjo-based assessment, and evaluated agreement with human experts and explor...

Large language model (LLM) agents work in scenarios with very different memory needs. A question about past conversations needs the exact facts it names, while a multi-step task needs a trace of the steps already taken together with details that the next step cannot name. Existing memories are each designed and tested...

Content moderation compresses a graded, contested human judgment into a binary act (leave up / take down) over billions of items, at a scale where running a frontier LLM on every post is uneconomical. A new class of frozen"System One"models returns typed, calibrated decisions instead of text at ~USD 0.000025 per call a...
Throughout life, we accumulate knowledge of how typical certain events are. We use this knowledge in daily conversation, often interpreting meaning beyond what has been said explicitly. In this work, we take steps to better understand this meaning recovery, investigating both atypicality and typicality inferences. Firs...

How can a language model know whether it has enough evidence to answer? Language models tend to answer even when the evidence they have is insufficient. Deciding whether to answer or gather more evidence requires a calibrated estimate of how likely an answer is to be correct with the available evidence. However, most c...

LLM agents take instructions from the operator, repository configuration, user, tool results and saved memory, which often conflict. Instruction-hierarchy benchmarks ask whether the higher-ranked source wins, but a source sets position, role and label at once. First, we build WhoWins, 1,080 code-scored scenarios in fiv...
Long-running assistants often interpret follow-up requests whose referents, constraints, and active goals were established many turns earlier. The central challenge is therefore not only context length, but retrieval intent: a current query such as ``use the previous configuration'' may omit the project, entity, and ve...

Chest computed tomography (CT) reports generated by large language models (LLMs) can describe positive findings that lack localized evidence in the scan. We propose EviGround-CT to verify these findings after report generation. A deterministic extractor identifies positive finding sentences, and a 3D grounding model pr...
Speaking-style captioning (SSC) aims to generate natural language descriptions of how speech is delivered, capturing paralinguistic attributes such as vocal timbre, prosody, and expressivity. Many downstream applications, including conversational AI agents, controllable speech generation, and large-scale audio annotati...
