Vision-Language Models Integrate Conflicting Evidence Like Biased Bayesian Observers

Vision-language models must reconcile conflicting text and images. Prior work has characterized the resulting behavior in terms of modality biases--e.g., a"blind faith in text"--but why preferences vary across models, domains, and input conditions remains unclear. We develop a predictive account from a Bayesian perspec...

KoAGE: Do Large Language Models Know, Learn, and Coin Korean Neologisms?

Korean neologisms arise through diverse mechanisms, a demanding test of language models beyond lexical memorization. To enable systematic evaluation, we introduce NeoTrace, an automated, rerunnable framework that collects and dates neologisms across genres. Its 4,271 entries support KoAGE, a cutoff-aware benchmark with...

ELARSpeech: A 30K-Hour Dataset Across 675 Underrepresented Languages for Long-Tail Multilingual Speech Technologies

Massively multilingual speech modeling has made remarkable progress in recent years, yet existing training resources and benchmarks still underrepresent much of the linguistic long tail. To address this gap, we introduce ELARSpeech, a large-scale multilingual speech resource comprising 30,202 hours of speech across 675...

The Sum of All Summaries: PROPALIGN for Graded Proposition Salience Evaluation

Identification and ranking of salient propositions in documents is indirectly involved in many AI tasks, but few papers define proposition salience scores clearly, make diverse data available, or evaluate models directly on the task. This paper proposes PROPALIGN, a multiple-summary-based approach for propositional sal...

Learning What to Keep: Transfer-Aware Personal Skill Learning from User Feedback

This work proposes SkillGrain, a framework for learning reusable personalized skills from user feedback that decomposes feedback into independently actionable rules, predicts their transferability, and retains only those suitable for future requests.

Evaluating Compressed Memory: Dependence, Utility, and Content Benefit

Does a language model answer better because its compressed memory contains useful document information? Replacing memory vectors with zeros can lower a trained model's score without showing that it outperforms a model trained without memory. We combine zeroing with separately trained models that cannot access stored te...

Beyond Corrected Actions: Training LLM Agents on Textual Critiques

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for multi-turn agentic tasks that require interactions with users and environments over extended sequences of actions. A common approach to improving LLM agents is to use more capable expert models to provide training supervision, either by behavior cloning the expert'...

LLM-jp-4 Technical Report

This paper presents LLM-jp-4, a family of Japanese sovereign large language models (LLMs) developed with an emphasis on transparency, reproducibility, and practical usability. LLM-jp-4 comprises an 8B dense model and a 32B-A3B mixture-of-experts model, both trained from scratch on approximately 12 trillion tokens. To s...

PersEvalBench: Can LLM Evaluators Judge Contextually Appropriate Use of Persona Information?

Large language model (LLM) evaluators are increasingly used to assess personalized assistants, yet whether they can reliably judge personalization has rarely been tested. We introduce PersEvalBench, a benchmark testing whether an evaluator can recognize appropriate and inappropriate uses of user history. It contains 40...

Qwenfant: Train Big Character-level BabyLMs on Concise Parallel Text

This work concerns our submission for the Multilingual track of the 2026 BabyLM Challenge. We improve on our baseline using data that has been summarized and translated by an LLM, showing that higher-quality data can come from synthetic sources. We further improve with 2 simple changes: using a larger model, and using...

Can LLM Agents Efficiently Identify Appliance Faults? Insights From Diagnosing a Simulated Appliance

In so-called "Industry 4.0," integrated sensors, analytics tools, and other digital technologies supplement industrial workflows, potentiating enhanced visibility and automation. Prognostics and health management (PHM) and natural language processing (NLP) practitioners alike have explored the application of large lang...

Whose Data, Whose Benchmark? A User-Centric Framework for Auditing Evaluation Resources

Benchmarks shape how model capabilities are measured and interpreted, yet their scores can obscure whose conventions, contexts, and judgments define successful performance. We introduce a user-centric audit framework that distinguishes users who contribute benchmark content from those whose needs evaluation results are...
