Mind the Shift: Decoding Monetary Policy Stance from FOMC Statements with Large Language Models

Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statements are a major source of monetary-policy information, and even subtle changes in their wording can move global financial markets. A central task is therefore to measure the hawkish--dovish stance conveyed in these texts. Existing approaches typically treat stance detection a...

BASIS: Evaluating Belief-Aware Solutions in Interactive Settings beyond Instructions

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly capable of carrying out complex, long-horizon tasks, yet effective assistance requires more than faithfully executing user instructions. Users' requests reflect their current understanding of the problem, which may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. When this under...

Composition-RL: Compose Your Verifiable Prompts for Reinforcement Learning of Large Language Models

Large-scale verifiable prompts underpin the success of Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), but they contain many uninformative examples and are costly to expand further. Recent studies focus on better exploiting limited training data by prioritizing hard prompts whose rollout pass rate is 0. However,...

MoCo: A One-Stop Shop for Model Collaboration Research

Advancing beyond single monolithic language models (LMs), recent research increasingly recognizes the importance of model collaboration, where multiple LMs collaborate, compose, and complement each other. Existing research on this topic has mostly been disparate and disconnected, from different research communities, an...

EnsembleLink: Accurate Record Linkage Without Training Data

Record linkage, the process of matching records that refer to the same entity across datasets, is essential to empirical social science but remains methodologically underdeveloped. Researchers treat it as a preprocessing step, applying ad hoc rules without quantifying the uncertainty that linkage errors introduce into...

Large Language Models Naively Recover Ethnicity from Individual Records

I demonstrate that large language models can infer ethnicity from names with accuracy exceeding that of Bayesian Improved Surname Geocoding (BISG) without additional training data, enabling inference outside the United States and to contextually appropriate classification categories. Using stratified samples from Flori...

MBBQ: A Dataset for Cross-Lingual Comparison of Stereotypes in Generative LLMs

Generative large language models (LLMs) have been shown to exhibit harmful biases and stereotypes. While safety fine-tuning typically takes place in English, if at all, these models are being used by speakers of many different languages. There is existing evidence that the performance of these models is inconsistent ac...

EVA-Cap: Optimizing Audiovisual Video Captioning via Event-Centric Alignment

Recent advances in Omni Language Models (OLMs) provide a unified solution for audiovisual video captioning. Nevertheless, existing approaches predominantly treat captioning as an unstructured text generation process, neglecting the inherent semantic structure of videos and leading to suboptimal fine-grained audiovisual...

Documenting Trofinetide Treatment Phenotypes in Rett Syndrome with a Dual-LLM Consensus Pipeline

Objective: Trofinetide, approved in 2023 as the first Rett syndrome treatment, lacks scalable real-world monitoring because chart review is labor-intensive. We developed a dual large language model (LLM) consensus pipeline to extract 18 treatment-response phenotypes, comprising 4 adverse effects, 13 Rett clinical featu...

WEAVE: Weaving Real-World Code Evolution into Dependency-Structured Tasks for Benchmarking and Training Code Agents

Real-world software engineering rarely consists of isolated changes. Features, migrations, and systematic fixes often unfold across multiple pull requests (PRs), requiring coordinated modifications across a repository. Yet most executable repository-level benchmarks retain a single issue or PR as the task unit, while e...

Spurious Attention Heads in Vision Transformers: Mechanistic Identification of Annotation-Driven Bias in Medical Chest X-Ray Analysis

Vision Transformers deployed in medical imaging exploit spurious correlations, yet the internal mechanisms remain unidentified and impossible to fix. We apply mechanistic interpretability to locate one such mechanism in ViT-Base 16: a single attention head (L8H10) that functions as a dedicated annotation-reader on ches...

VoteGEO-Bench: Measuring the Impact of Generative Engine Optimization on Electoral Visibility

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for election information, yet little is known about how external web content shapes the political information they present. Generative engine optimization (GEO) rewrites web content to improve its visibility in generated responses. To investigate its potential risks in...
