Toxicity Is a Property of Communicative Events: A Contextual Stress Measurement Framework for NLP

Toxicity detection has become core safety infrastructure for online moderation, dataset filtering, and deployed language-model systems. Yet most detectors still treat toxicity as an intrinsic property of isolated text. This position paper argues that toxicity detection should be evaluated as the contextual measurement...

VQEL: Enabling Self-Play in Emergent Language Games via Agent-Internal Vector Quantization

Emergent Language (EL) focuses on the emergence of communication among artificial agents. Although symbolic communication channels more closely mirror the discrete nature of human language, learning such protocols remains fundamentally difficult due to the non-differentiability of symbol sampling. Existing approaches t...

Natural Language Generation from Visual Events: State-of-the-Art and Key Open Questions

In recent years, a substantial body of work in visually grounded natural language processing has focused on real-life multimodal scenarios such as describing content depicted in images or videos. However, comparatively less attention has been devoted to studying the nature and degree of interaction between the differen...

Polyrating: A Cost-Effective and Bias-Aware Rating System for LLM Evaluation

Rating-based human evaluation has become an essential tool to accurately evaluate the impressive performance of large language models (LLMs). However, current rating systems suffer from several important limitations: first, they fail to account for biases that significantly influence evaluation results, second, they re...

Prediction Is All MoE Needs: Expert Load Distribution Goes from Fluctuating to Stabilizing

MoE facilitates the development of large models by making the computational complexity of the model no longer scale linearly with increasing parameters. The learning sparse gating network selects a set of experts for each token to be processed; however, this may lead to differences in the number of tokens processed by...

Tracing Agentic Failure from the Flow of Success

Failure attribution for LLM-based agentic systems, i.e., identifying which steps in a failure trajectory caused the task to fail, is critical for debugging and improving these systems. Existing approaches either rely on prompting-based pipelines, which are computationally expensive, or require post-training on failure...

MedEvoEval: Evaluating Continual Evolution of Doctor Agents through Simulated Clinical Episodes

Doctor agents are moving beyond single-turn answer generation toward evolving clinical decision systems that acquire evidence within episodes and reuse experience across episodes. Fixed-input medical QA and many interactive benchmarks provide limited support for evaluating how episode-level decisions interact with cros...

Plans Fade Fast: Why Context Management Is Load-Bearing for LLM Agents

Context managers summarize or evict old messages so agents can operate beyond a finite window. This creates a reliability problem: removing history that still shapes the model's computation may change later actions, while retaining everything defeats compression. We study plans because agents create them early and are...

Decoupling Search from Reasoning: A Vendor-Agnostic Grounding Architecture for LLM Agents

Production LLM agents increasingly depend on real-time search, yet native search grounding bundles retrieval policy, provider choice, evidence injection, cost, latency, and generation behavior behind a single model-provider boundary. This coupling makes grounding hard to inspect, tune, reuse, or port, and can trigger S...

PseudoBench: Measuring How Agentic Auto-Research Fuels Pseudoscience

As Large Language Model based agents enter autonomous scientific research, their ability to resist pseudoscience becomes increasingly important. Otherwise, such systems may rapidly generate plausible yet misleading studies that contaminate academic literature and erode trust in science. We present PseudoBench, an adver...
