VietAIDetector: An Open-Source Zero-Shot Detector for Vietnamese AI-Generated Text

Distinguishing AI-generated content from human-written text in Vietnamese remains difficult due to the limited availability of dedicated open-source tools. In this paper, we present VietAIDetector, an open-source software tool designed for practical Vietnamese AI-generated text detection. Operating on a zero-shot scori...

Time as Structure: Temporal Dependency Graphs for Verifiable Deadline Computation over Legal Documents

Miss a filing deadline by one day and the claim is barred, however strong the case. Computing that deadline is rarely simple: the period runs from a triggering event, is counted by a statutory convention, and may be suspended by a mandatory conciliation window. We ask whether a language model should answer such questio...

Scaling Creative Writing Beyond Story-Centric Data with Attribute-Guided Genre Expansion

High-quality creative writing data for large language models (LLMs) remains dominated by story-centric data, limiting models' ability to follow the structural and functional conventions of diverse creative formats. We propose an attribute-guided genre expansion framework for scaling creative writing data beyond story g...

Task Competence Is Not Instruction Following: Evaluating Instruction-Conflicting Behavior in Small Language Models

Instruction tuning is meant to make language models follow user requests, yet it is unclear whether small models comply when an instruction conflicts with their usual task behavior. We study this across three tasks - multiple-choice question answering (MCQA), sentiment classification, and mathematical question answerin...

LLMs Silently Correct African American English: Auditing and Mitigating Dialect Bias via Activation Steering

African American English (AAE), a rule-governed dialect spoken by over 30 million people, is routinely misinterpreted and "corrected" by large language models (LLMs). Across six instruction-tuned LLMs (14B to 70B), we show that state-of-the-art models systematically prefer Standard American English (SAE) continuations...

STAGE: Source-grounded Text-to-JSON Artifact GEneration

From financial filings to clinical records, legacy industries rely heavily on long, unstructured documents to store high-value information. Reliably extracting this information into structured, machine-readable representations is a key prerequisite to making the contents accessible to automated systems. JSON is a natur...

FORT-Searcher: Synthesizing Shortcut-Resistant Search Tasks for Training Deep Search Agents

Training deep-search agents requires verifiable questions that demand substantial evidence acquisition, yet structurally complex tasks may still admit cheap identifying routes when clues are overly selective, co-covered by the same evidence, directly searchable, or resolved from solver priors. We formalize this gap wit...

VISTA: A Versatile Interactive User Simulation Toolkit for Agent Evaluation

Evaluation remains a critical bottleneck for interactive agent development. Existing evaluation methods often rely on static benchmarks, which fail to capture the dynamic, multi-step nature of agentic behavior and struggle to expose meaningful failure modes. While user-simulation-based evaluation offers a promising alt...

SkillHarm: Lifecycle-Aware Skill-Based Attacks via Automated Construction

Agent skills occupy a privileged position in the agent workflow, as agents are expected to implicitly follow and execute them, rendering third-party skills a vulnerable attack surface. Existing studies have revealed unsafe agent behaviors induced by skill-based attacks, but they primarily evaluate poisoned skills withi...

Better with Experience: Self-Evolving LLM Agents for Evidence-Grounded Health Community Notes

EvoNote is introduced, an agentic framework that enables health Community Notes generation to self-evolve through an evolving experience memory of prior misinformation correction episodes, positioning self-evolving note generation as a promising paradigm for scalable health misinformation governance.

Agentic Clustering: Controllable Text Taxonomies via Multi-Agent Refinement

Recent text-clustering methods use large language models to propose a cluster taxonomy from a corpus and then assign each text to it. These pipelines are fundamentally programmatic: the sequence of LLM calls and the rules for stopping, merging, and splitting clusters are fixed in code in advance, so they generalise poo...

Learning to Retrieve: Dual-Level Long-Term Memory for Text-to-SQL Agents

Interactive text-to-SQL agents solve database tasks through multi-turn interactions involving schema exploration, query execution, feedback interpretation, and decision revision. Long-term memory helps agents reuse past experiences, but existing retrieval methods remain limited. Static methods use fixed similarity heur...
