CoTranslator: Reverse to Forward Chain-of-Thought Translator for Reasoning Distillation

Reasoning distillation requires chain-of-thought (CoT) data with correct answers, but obtaining such data efficiently remains challenging. Forward CoT generation (FCG) followed by rejection sampling (RS) produces verified, question-only responses, yet may require many teacher calls for difficult problems. Reverse CoT g...

Wolof-Adapted Industry-Ready Open-Weight Language Models

Wolof is spoken by 23M people, mostly in Senegal, but remains weakly supported by open-weight language models, while API models raise cost, governance, and sovereignty constraints for local deployments. In this paper, we present 0.6B-14B open-weight models adapted to Wolof through instruction tuning, preference alignme...

Verdict: Encode Once, Decide Many

Automating organizational work means answering many small typed questions about one piece of state (does this email need a reply, how urgent is it, who owns it) with probabilities good enough to act on without a human. The open typed-decision model we compare against, like a standard cross-encoder, answers each questio...

Reference-Guided Turn-Taking Style Transfer for Full-Duplex Spoken Language Models

A single late-layer residual-stream direction is identified: a single late-layer residual-stream direction, the initiative vector, extracted from the model's own conversations without training or annotation, which transfers a speaker's turn-taking style to the model.

CoTS: Competitive Token Selection for Latent Reasoning in Large Language Models

Competitive Token Selection (CoTS), a training-free framework that reframes latent intervention from binary mode selection into continuous allocation at the token level, and demonstrates that CoTS consistently outperforms standard CoT and state-of-the-art training-free latent reasoning methods.

Exploring the Design Space of Permutation Diffusion LLMs

Permutation generation with language models requires both text-conditioned ranking and a global one-to-one assignment between candidates and output positions. We study this problem through three diffusion-LLM parameterizations: hard-assignment prediction over shuffled candidate-index sequences, soft-assignment predicti...

Real-time Chatbot Romance Scam Detection in Stage Classification

Romance scam has become a serious problem via social media, and the improvement of artificial intelligence enable to fake identify easily. In the study, a chatbot has developed to detect romance scam in real-time through Line Messaging API. Using the seven stage theories in the social science field, the stages of roman...

Bridging the Gap: Converting Read Text to Conversational Dialogue

In recent advancements within speech processing, converting read speech to conversational speech has gained significant attention. The primary challenge in this domain is maintaining naturalness and intelligibility while minimizing computational overhead for real-time applications. Traditional read speech often lacks t...

KULTURE Bench: A Benchmark for Assessing Language Model in Korean Cultural Context

Large language models have exhibited significant enhancements in performance across various tasks. However, the complexity of their evaluation increases as these models generate more fluent and coherent content. Current multilingual benchmarks often use translated English versions, which may incorporate Western cultura...

FDE-Gym: The Last Mile of AI Delivery

Existing agent benchmarks typically evaluate agents on well-specified tasks defined by issue reports, specifications, or task tickets. Real-world customer delivery is different: forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) must clarify ambiguous requirements, work in live systems, and uncover unstated constraints. We introduce FD...

MLExpert: Towards a Generalist Agentic Model for Autonomous Machine Learning Engineering

Large language models (LLMs) are expanding from assisting scientific research and engineering to autonomously developing and improving AI systems, advancing AI for AI (AI4AI) as a pathway toward recursive self-improvement (RSI). Workflow-driven machine learning engineering (MLE) systems provide a practical path toward...
