Local Citation Recommendation Without Graph Signals

Resolving correct citations can be a time-consuming task for research writers. We address local citation recommendation (LCR), where the goal is to retrieve appropriate references for a given sentence. Web tools generally depend on the existing citation graph, which may bias results toward citation count or more recent...

A Persian Vision-Language-Action Dataset and Benchmark for Ambiguity- and Infeasibility-Aware Instruction-to-Plan Grounding

Converting natural-language instructions into executable action plans conditioned on a scene image is a core capability for embodied human-robot interaction, but existing benchmarks target English, simulated or video-grounded environments, and largely assume instructions are clear and executable. We introduce the first...

Word-Aligned Prosody Reflects Speaker Differences More Than Depression or PTSD Severity

Word-aligned prosody is increasingly used to detect depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet the stability and clinical relevance of these measurements remain unclear. We examine stability at two levels. At the word level, we ask whether a speaker produces the same word in a similar speaker-specific way...

Description Complexity Bounds for Analytic Approximations of Lipschitz Functions

We study how many bits are needed to write down an elementary analytic expression that uniformly approximates a Lipschitz function. Expressions are finite trees over the basis $\{+,-,\times,\div,\exp\}$ with the variables and rational constants, and their size is $\dc(f)$, the length of the shortest description of $f$...

VoTSpeech: Decoupling Voice Design from Speech Generation in Instruction-Following TTS

VoTSpeech is proposed, which decouples voice design from speech generation via an explicit intermediate voice latent, built on a shared language model backbone and performs strongly on InstructTTSEval-ZH, demonstrating competitive capabilities against strong open-source models while maintaining high naturalness.

The Company a Question Keeps: Auditing Open Jev-Style Models for Retrieval

Jev's documented interface evaluates typed questions independently against shared evidence. We audit request independence in seven open Jev-style checkpoints on 276 constructed three-passage states from 92 TREC retrieval queries. Paired interventions separately change requested questions, displayed evidence, and candid...

Re-executing Coding-Agent Evaluations: Unchanged Decisions and Unresolved Policy Risk

Executable tests grade large language model (LLM) coding-agent patches for leaderboards, rewards and self-improvement. Two preregistered re-execution studies returned negative results. SWE-bench Pro v1's offline option rejected none of 59 accepted Go patches whose grading configuration changed. Their exploratory, unwei...

MemForm: Benchmarking Memory Formation Poisoning in LLM Agents

Long-term memory enables LLM agents to learn from past interactions but exposes memory formation to adversarial influence. Existing studies primarily organize memory poisoning by attack channels, corruption patterns, or lifecycle stages, leaving formation interfaces insufficiently characterized. We formulate Memory For...

Tokenization-Invariant Watermarking: A Byte-Local Method for LLM Text

We introduce Tokenization-Invariant Watermarking (TI-WM), a method that embeds a watermark during token generation but keys and scores it on canonicalized UTF-8 bytes. The detector does not invoke the tokenizer. Canonicalizer-preserving edits leave its score unchanged; other localized canonical-byte edits affect a boun...

OpenMobile-2: Building Versatile Mobile Agents with Scalable Environments and App-Native Tools

We introduce OpenMobile-2, a near-frontier mobile agent with fully open training environments and recipes. We make three key advances: (1) Diverse environments with simulated commercial apps: We build MobileGym++, featuring 35 realistic, functionally rich commercial-style apps with cross-app workflows, while preserving...

The AI's Poker Face: Contrasting Persuasion and Sycophancy in Voice-Based Multi-Turn Conversations

As interactions with large language models (LLMs) become increasingly routine, concerns about their capacity to influence users'beliefs grow. Yet how such influence unfolds in sustained dialogue remains insufficiently understood. We conduct a randomized controlled experiment (N=616) where participants engage in multi-t...

Rubrics from the Task, Verdicts from Evidence: Pointwise Rubric Rewards with Tool-Augmented Judges

Rubric-based reward models (RMs) evaluate responses against explicit criteria. However, existing methods often derive criteria from observed response candidates, introducing response-induced bias that may limit rubric generalizability. Their judges also struggle with mechanical constraints when relying on reading alone...
