General Phrase Debiaser: Debiasing Masked Language Models at a Multi-Token Level

An automatic multi-token debiasing pipeline called General Phrase Debiaser, which is capable of mitigating phrase-level biases in masked language models, and can significantly reduce gender biases on both career and multiple disciplines, across models with varying parameter sizes.

BLOOM-WILT: Logit Tilting for Behaviour Elicitation in Automated LLM Auditing

BLOOM-WILT is introduced, a full auditing pipeline that elicits natural multi-turn instances of rare behaviours, without training cost or access beyond the target's next-token distribution and raises average behaviour presence from 51% to 100% when eliciting self-harm encouragement from Qwen3.5-4B.

Agentic Context Cracking: Token-Efficient Data Reasoning Agents via Adaptive Structuring of Unstructured Data

This work proposes agentic data cracking, a method that structures unstructured data adaptively and speculatively as a byproduct of reasoning itself, a first step toward next-generation data infrastructure for agentic reasoning over unstructured data.

When Can We Work in Embedding Space? What Text Embeddings Preserve

In an application to 363 U.S. metropolitan areas, embedding-based clusters of LLM-generated economic descriptions recover interpretable economic archetypes and separate local employment dynamics more sharply than clustering on model residuals, or on a curated set of industry and demographic covariates.

Augmenting Interviewer Judgments of Patient Experience with Automatic Language Analysis

A clinician-support framework in which post-session interviewer ratings are combined with automatic language-based predictions to estimate patient-reported interaction quality in free clinical interviews is evaluated, suggesting that automatic language analysis and interviewer judgment capture complementary aspects of patient experience.

Responsible Integration of AI in Cancer Genomics: Barriers, Risks, and Pathways to Trustworthy Clinical Translation

A conceptual framework and roadmap for addressing four interrelated translational failure domains through rigorous validation, uncertainty-aware methods, interoperable infrastructures, regulatory alignment, and human oversight across the AI lifecycle is proposed.

HSRM: Hidden-State Reward Models for Test-Time Verification

HSRM is introduced, a lightweight hidden-state reward model that verifies candidate solutions by directly reading the generator's internal representations rather than re-processing its text, providing an efficient alternative to text-only verification by reusing representations already computed during generation.

Vocal Music under Phoneme-Conditional Analysis

The vocal music of each language carries a distinctive sonic identity, even without instrumental accompaniment. We ask whether these differences are measurable and traceable to specific phonemes. To tackle this question, we introduce phoneme-conditional analysis, which isolates the acoustic effect of typologically distinctive phonemes by comparing marker syllables against matched non-marker controls within the same song, holding singer, melody, and genre constant. Across nine typologically diverse languages and thousands of songs, we measure effects along five acoustic dimensions. Song-level profiles built from these effects identify the language of an unaccompanied vocal at 85.5% balanced accuracy in a nine-way classification with folds grouped by artist; whether the separability arises by accumulation of the phoneme-local effects themselves is left open. Our findings suggest that phonological structure leaves systematic and measurable traces in how each language is sung.

The Fragility of Jailbreak Robustness Across Operational States

This work finds that jailbreak robustness is highly fragile to operational-state variation: even when the attack remains fixed, changing only an ordinary system prompt not designed to affect safety can dramatically alter attack success rates.

Beyond the Payload: How User Invocation Shapes Coding Agent Vulnerability to Repository Poisoning

CIPR (Coding In Poisoned Repos), the first benchmark that systematically varies PLCs in poisoned real-world repositories, is introduced and highlights that coding agent vulnerability is not a static property, but a dynamic outcome shaped by everyday user configurations.

Geometry of Divergence: Tracking Hidden-State Trajectories for Adaptive Multi-Turn Reasoning

This work formulate multi-turn reasoning as a hidden-state trajectory of the underlying LLM that is characterized via two complementary signals: temporal curvature that captures the directional consistency of turn-to-turn updates, and variance slope which measures the expansion or contraction of the exploration space.
