A large-scale pipeline for LLM-assisted corpus annotation: variation and change in the English consider construction

As natural language corpora expand at an unprecedented rate, manual annotation remains a significant methodological bottleneck in corpus linguistic work. We address this challenge by presenting a scalable pipeline for automating grammatical annotation in voluminous corpora using large language models (LLMs). Unlike pre...

EconCausal: A Context-Aware Economic Reasoning Benchmark for Large Language Models

Socio-economic causal effects depend heavily on their institutional and environmental contexts. The same intervention can produce different, even opposite, effects across regulatory regimes, market conditions, time periods, or populations. This poses a challenge for large language models (LLMs) in decision-support role...

Eigen-Agent: Adaptive Multi-Agent Scientific Reasoning with Monitor-Based RAG

Large language models (LLMs) have recently shown strong progress on scientific reasoning, yet two major bottlenecks remain. First, explicit retrieval fragments reasoning, imposing a hidden "tool tax" of extra tokens and steps. Second, multi-agent pipelines often dilute strong solutions by averaging across all candidate...

Scaling Personality Control in LLMs with Big Five Scaler Prompts

Big5-Scaler is presented, a prompt-based framework for conditioning large language models (LLMs) with controllable Big Five personality traits that induces consistent and distinguishable personality traits across models, with performance varying by prompt type and scale.

Majority Bit-Aware Watermarking For Large Language Models

A novel message encoding paradigm is proposed called \textit{majority bit-aware encoding}, which relaxes the watermark signal strength from the green list size, which allows for a strong watermark signal to be preserved in generated texts even when using a large green list.

Is This Just Fantasy? Language Model Representations Reflect Human Judgments of Event Plausibility

Language models (LMs) are used for a diverse range of tasks, from question answering to writing fantastical stories. In order to reliably accomplish these tasks, LMs must be able to discern the modal category of a sentence (i.e., whether it describes something that is possible, impossible, completely nonsensical, etc.)...

$\pi$-CoT: Prolog-Initialized Chain-of-Thought Prompting for Multi-Hop Question-Answering

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting significantly enhances large language models' (LLMs) problem-solving capabilities, but still struggles with complex multi-hop questions, often falling into circular reasoning patterns or deviating from the logical path entirely. This limitation is particularly acute in retrieval-augment...

Assessing and Refining ChatGPT's Performance in Identifying Targeting and Inappropriate Language: A Comparative Study

This study evaluates the effectiveness of ChatGPT, an advanced AI model for natural language processing, in identifying targeting and inappropriate language in online comments. With the increasing challenge of moderating vast volumes of user-generated content on social network sites, the role of AI in content moderatio...

Scaling Discovery Requires Forgetting

Automated research with LLM agents has shown promising results in various domains. Through iterative refinement and scored verifiers, LLM agents are capable of discovering new ideas. There are different ways to scale automated research: let one agent iterate for longer, run several agents in parallel, or further let th...

SwarmRSI: Recursive Self-Improvement through Evolving Scientific Agent Swarm

SwarmRSI is introduced, a framework that evolves scientific agent swarms for recursive self-improvement and proposes Feedback-Guided Swarm Mutation to refine hypotheses and their implementations using experimental feedback from other agents and Complementary Swarm Recombination to reuse retained hypotheses and compleme...

TreeFlex: Agents Navigating Their Own Search Trees

A ReAct-style agent accumulates observations, intermediate results, and failed attempts in a single context. As this context grows, stale and off-path information consumes its limited capacity and obscures relevant evidence, making focused reasoning increasingly difficult. We introduce TreeFlex, a framework in which th...

MultiPartyTurnBench: Benchmarking Floor Control in Multi-Party Spoken Dialogue

Full-duplex speech systems must decide when to enter, hold, or relinquish the conversational floor, even as multiple speakers overlap or backchannel without taking it. Existing evaluations study dyadic turn-taking or end-to-end agent behavior, but lack a unified, controlled evaluation of genuine floor transitions again...
