Together, these results support qualified reuse of English-built pipelines, but per-domain, per-language validation remains necessary--neither semantic similarity nor self-reported confidence reliably predicts cross-lingual accuracy.

We present SZED's submission to ArGuard 2026 Track A: Arabic hateful meme detection. The task has two parts: binary classification (A1) and fine-grained multi-label tagging (A2). For A1, we fuse MARBERTv2 and CLIP ViT-L/14 embeddings, comparing concatenation, self-attention, and ensemble heads. For A2, we use a multi-t...
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is increasingly served across geo-distributed cloud and edge infrastructures, where wide-area latency, cross-region egress cost, and data-residency rules compete with retrieval quality. Conventional pipelines rank by semantic similarity alone and ignore where content lives, inflatin...
This work proposes PW-Pruning, a phase-aware extension of DO-ACP that constructs separate importance-weighted kernels for acoustic-prefill and teacher-forced answer tokens, then combines phase-weighted log-determinant marginal gains to select one static expert bank.

Findings show that concurrent clinical assessments can identify interpretable, depression-specific acoustic markers in populations where cognitive and affective symptoms co-occur.

Agents are starting to sell to other agents. Seller agents write the listings of tools, services and products, and buyer agents read these listings when they choose what to use. We show that seller agents told only to be selected more often practice generative engine optimization on their own, and that this distorts th...

Telecom language models must combine broad networking knowledge with specialist behavior across routing, broadband services, access technologies, and operational diagnostics while remaining practical to deploy as a single model. We present an end-to-end framework that builds source-grounded synthetic training data from...
Recent advances in large (vision) language models have enabled computer-use agents that automate digital workflows via fine-grained keyboard and mouse operations. However, such agents remain fragile in long-horizon settings, where errors accumulate and executed actions leave unintended side effects, making the ability...

Model compression makes large language models deployable, but today's evaluation tells an incomplete story. Standard practice measures retained task performance and stops there. This misses a critical fact: compression perturbs the distributed knowledge embedded across billions of weights, and task scores alone cannot...

Staged post-training of multimodal foundation models chains vision-language alignment, reasoning distillation, and domain tuning, yet how each phase trades capabilities against the others remains under-characterised. Tracking an 8.4B-parameter model from an un-fine-tuned baseline through three training phases on Japane...
Vision-language models (VLMs) are exact on small sets and drift into estimation on larger ones, a profile reminiscent of children before they master counting. Children cross the barrier with epistemic actions: pointing at each item while reciting number words, moving counted items aside, partitioning the array. We give...

This work treats the warmup pool as a resampled random factor and adds token-matched irrelevant-filler controls, oracle-certified diagnostics, caution-pricing metrics, and quantified audits of the baseline ports to answer the question when does experience memory help a closed-loop LLM driving agent.
