CultureBot: A Framework for Retrieval-Augmented Exploration of Cultural Heritage Data

Digital cultural heritage collections encode rich relations among objects, places, periods, providers, images, and source institutions, yet users typically access them through keyword search and faceted browsing. We present CULTUREBOT, an interactive framework for natural-language exploration of cultural heritage colle...

PersonaFactor: Preference Factors with Dynamic Selection for LLM Personalization

Although users may express different personalization needs across tasks, these task-specific behaviors can reflect shared underlying preference mechanisms. Existing LLM personalization methods often focus on surface-level interactions or undifferentiated histories, overlooking the shared mechanisms underlying these beh...

Rule vs.Consequence: Dissociable Internal Representations of Moral Reasoning in LLMs

Large language models are increasingly deployed in morally and legally sensitive contexts, yet little is known about how they internally represent distinctions between moral reasoning styles. We ask whether a model's differential response to rule-framed and consequence-framed moral questions reflects distinct internal...

HexaBee-4B: Six-Language Translation with Multilingual Answering and Bidirectional Supervision

Multilingual translation requires a model to preserve meaning while producing text in a requested language. We present HexaBee-4B, a translator adapted from Gemma 3 4B IT through three stages: Wikipedia continued pretraining, joint multilingual answering and answer-text translation, and bidirectional translation specia...

Self-Distillation with Verbal Regularization

On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) trains a large language model using supervision from a teacher instantiated from the same model as the student. The teacher is conditioned on privileged information (PI), such as verified solutions. The student, which does not observe PI, learns from the teacher's next-token distribut...

Strong yet Controllable LLM Abstention without Learning to Abstain

Large language models (LLMs) can reduce hallucination by abstaining from questions they would likely get wrong. Abstention can be implemented outside the model (selective answering) using a confidence threshold that controls the answer rate (coverage), or learned inside it (abstention training), which can perform bette...

L\"ushi-1840: Building and Probing a Knowledge Cutoff for a Classical Chinese Language Model

Language models trained only on text from before a given year are useful for studying hindsight and historical language, but the open collections of pre-modern Chinese carry no publication dates and unreliable dynasty labels. We present L\"ushi-1840, a 983M-parameter model trained from scratch on 12,262 books (1.28B ch...

DeepThink: A Conceptual Model for Knowledge-Addressable Recurrent Language Modeling

This manuscript presents DeepThink, a knowledge-addressable framework for recurrent language modeling. A Knowledge Bank stores typed Knowledge Units, a Knowledge Activator selects units from the current execution state, Knowledge Assembly produces an executable configuration, and a Shared Thinking Operator updates that...

Scaling Multi-Agent Intelligence with Substrate-Centric Coordination

ScaleMAS is built, where asynchronous agents interact with a shared datastore of linked messages via three operations: publishing messages with optional references to earlier ones that they build on, searching for messages by content, and visiting messages by address, which is an effective proxy for quality.

Beyond the greenwash: do LLMs' ecologically sound decisions hold up under pressure?

Humans are increasingly using large language models (LLMs) in decision making processes throughout society. Unfortunately, models have biases, and these can be very difficult to measure, especially in closed-weight models. For example, 'green washed' models may produce reinforcement learned responses but, in pressure s...

PAIR: Memory-Efficient and Fast Inference with Reading--Reasoning Fusion

For context-based question answering, using one large model for both evidence extraction and answer reasoning requires substantial memory and computation. Existing approaches trade accuracy for efficiency within a single model only. We propose a multi-model approach for efficient inference: our method, PAIR, employs tw...

Mixed Feelings, Single Polarity

Emotion datasets are routinely mapped onto positive and negative valence, by assigning each emotion category one polarity. We test where this works and where it fails, using SemEval-2018 Affect in Tweets (English, Arabic, Spanish), Affective Text aligned with EmoBank, raw GoEmotions annotations, naturalistic hashtag co...
