Large language model (LLM) assistants are increasingly used in multi-turn conversations, where the user's intent is often unclear at first and revealed only gradually over time. The assistant must therefore interpret each exchange and form inferences about the user's intent, using them to update its working state. Thes...
When a large language model refuses an unethical request, what does refusal mean? In conversation, refusal is bounded by what the model says; once the model is equipped with executable tools, what it does can diverge from what it says, a failure mode that English-only evaluations cannot fully reveal. We introduce Lumen...
RegExtract is introduced, a benchmark for structured information extraction from PFAS regulatory documents, comprising 488 human-annotated field instances across 20 US state documents and 46 regulations, and a typed, multi-field schema targeting key elements such as material definitions, permitted uses, and product exe...

Depression is a prevalent mental disorder that affects millions worldwide, with early detection crucial for effective intervention. While exist?ing methods have achieved promising results in automated depression detection, they face two key limitations: (1) noise in post screening: symptom-based semantic screening is e...

Personalized assistants accumulate long conversation histories, and passing the whole history to an LLM with every request is costly. We show that it is also unnecessary. On PersonaMem-v2 (180 questions), with GPT-5.6-terra and Claude Opus 5.5 as judges, a relevance-filtered context, built by sentence-level retrieval t...
Ultra-low-bit scalar quantization offers a regular arithmetic structure for efficient deployment of large language models, but preserving predictive behavior at extreme precision remains challenging: with only a few reconstruction levels, accurate weight representation must translate into consistent predictions from a...

Multi-subject, multi-step scoring requires consistent partial credit across grading conventions. We introduce TeachGrade, a training-free framework using teacher-graded examples. The Task Adapt module builds two frozen memories: Skill captures contextual teacher preferences beyond the rubric; CaseBank supplies local ev...

Emotion-Cause Pair Extraction (ECPE) requires identifying the causes associated with emotions expressed in a conversation. Accurate extraction can depend on evidence that is not initially available, making it important to decide when further information is worth acquiring. We study agent-guided evidence acquisition for...

It is demonstrated that expression form is not a transparent carrier in bias evaluation and that lower scores under sarcasm should not be interpreted directly as bias mitigation, and the proposed paired design offers a measurement approach for Chinese social-media contexts while also revealing the construct boundary an...
Biomedical Named Entity Linking (BioNEL) is the task of mapping mentions extracted from biomedical texts to canonical entities or concepts in the standardized knowledge base. Although existing methods have achieved remarkable performance in mapping accuracy, most rely on training with domain-specific datasets, which fu...

Bengali has no grammatical gender, but honorificity is obligatory: every third-person reference must choose ordinary or respectful register. English has no such signal, so the system must choose a level of deference that the source never specified. We use this property to measure how large language models (LLMs) alloca...

Nheengatu (yrl), the Amazonian L\'ingua Geral, has 6--10 thousand speakers and is co-official in S\~ao Gabriel da Cachoeira (Brazil), yet remains poorly served by evaluated Portuguese--Nheengatu MT resources. We present the largest parallel corpus assembled for the language (14.5k Portuguese--Nheengatu pairs), anchored...
