From Structured Records to Patient Narratives: Preserving Clinical Alignment in LLM-Generated Health Summaries

This work investigates evidence-grounded health summarization for menstrual health monitoring using a constrained generation framework that combines structured evidence conditioning with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using a prompt-based constrained generation framework and evaluates semantic alignment using Nat...

How Well Do Decision Models Transfer to Vietnamese? An Empirical Study of Text Classification

Recent advances in specialized decision models have expanded the possibilities for zero-shot classification, yet their effectiveness on Vietnamese remains underexplored. This study evaluates four specialized decision models across 13 classification settings spanning six task groups, examining zero-shot performance, sen...

SyRA-CS: Synthetic-to-Real Adaptation for Code-Switched ASR with Meta-Learning

Code-switched (CS) automatic speech recognition (ASR) remains difficult because real CS speech is scarce and synthetic speech does not fully match it. We investigate whether synthetic CS speech is more useful for learning an adaptation-friendly initialization than for ordinary continual fine-tuning. We propose SyRA-CS,...

Same Entity, Different Script: Diagnosing Cross-Script Entity Matching Failures in Language Models

Multilingual language models can give different identity judgments when the same people's names are written in different scripts. We study this effect using 601 audited identity pairs with attested Devanagari and Latin forms, holding the question and relation fixed. Qwen2.5-7B's same-person accuracy falls from 35.1% in...

Parameter-Efficient Adaptation of Large Language Models to a Low-Resource Agglutinative Language: A Corpus, Datasets, and a Reproducible Benchmark for the Bashkir Language

Bashkir is a low-resource agglutinative language written in Cyrillic and remains poorly represented in modern LLMs. We present an open resource suite and a systematic benchmark of adaptation methods: the Bashkir Web Corpus (71,567 documents, 46.9M tokens, 16 sources) and three labelled datasets for binary, multiclass a...

CrisiLangs: A Multilingual Resource for Crisis Warning Generation

CrisiLangs, a multilingual extension of CrisiText, is presented, a multilingual extension of CrisiText, to Italian, Bulgarian, German, and Greek, where low decoding temperatures receive the most preferences in all five languages and in both configurations, while the effect of the guidelines varies by language.

SurveyGraph: Generating Academic Surveys via Methods-Entity Knowledge Graphs

Most automated survey generation systems retrieve papers as flat documents, limiting their ability to capture research structure. We present SurveyGraph, a framework built around a Methods-Entity Knowledge Graph (MEKG) encoding method-level follow-on, competition, and shared-resource relations. The graph supports core-...

When LLMs Forget What They Believe: Characterizing State Integrity Collapse in Long-Horizon Dialogues

Results show that reliability cannot be inferred from single-turn instruction following alone; evaluation must track whether remembered constraints remain operational as dialogue state grows, and introduces StateTrack-Bench, a controlled suite of conversations covering numerical, format, role/persona, factual-memory, a...

Cola2: Co-Adaptive Hierarchical Language Modeling with Continuous Semantic Compression and Balanced Discrete Generation

Hierarchical language generation separates continuous semantic modeling from discrete text realization, but its effectiveness depends on what the latent space compresses and how the discrete generator uses it. We propose Cola2, a framework that jointly studies continuous semantic compression, the balance between recons...

Memory-Aware Reward Modeling: Learning Human Preferences for LLM Memory Use

Memory enables language model assistants to maintain continuity across sessions and generate personalized responses, but knowing more about a user does not necessarily produce responses they prefer. Existing evaluations assess memory capabilities without directly establishing whether memory use benefits the user. To st...

A Systematic Comparison of Search Space Complexity and Efficiency for Time-Synchronous End-to-End ASR Models

Search is a central component of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems and has been deeply investigated for classical ASR modeling based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). However, in work on current sequence-to-sequence ASR architectures it is often simplified to a small fixed-size beam search without external Langu...
