StanceEval 2026 is the second edition of the StanceEval shared task series on stance detection in Arabic social media text. Stance detection aims to identify a writer's stance toward a given topic. Given a tweet and a target, participating systems must determine whether the writer's stance is Favor, Against, or None. T...

As LLM agents decide on users' behalf which product to buy, which hotel to book, or which paper to cite, a preference for items from certain sources (the sites or services they come from) shapes what users receive and which sources are selected. We study source preference in end-to-end search with 12 agent models acros...

We study hindsight-guided distillation for rare disease diagnosis on ZebraMap: a 1.5B student is fine-tuned on chain-of-thought traces from a 8B teacher that observes the ground-truth diagnosis during generation. Absolute accuracy remains low for all models - the task is hard at this scale - but within this ceiling a f...
Reasoning traces improve large language models (LLMs), but current models are trained to reason mostly in English. It has been shown that forcing a model to reason in another language degrades accuracy, even when the reasoning language matches the language of the prompt -- but only for a setting where the model reasons...

Matching candidates to vacancies is central to recruitment, and a recruiter needs to see why a candidate fits, not only a single opaque relevance score. We provide this evidence as named, interpretable matching dimensions recruiters can act on - eight in our current deployment. We propose a two-part approach. The first...

Supervised AI-text detectors report high benchmark accuracy, but it is not clear what their decisions are based on. We analyze a RoBERTa-based detector under semantic, structural, and tokenizer-level perturbations, using the M4 dataset (N = 10,000) and controlled generations (N = 300). When Mistral-7B-Instruct was aske...
While representation similarity across independently trained language models is well-documented, how internal mechanics such as attention behave across models remains far less characterized. Inspired by this gap, we examine the structure of post-softmax attention weights by marginalizing over query positions, mapping t...

Quantifying conversational dynamics requires reliable identification of interactional units and their temporal boundaries, but speech activity alone does not distinguish conversational turns from listener feedback or within-turn pauses. We present an automated pipeline for extracting turns and backchannels from separat...

Propaganda detection is an essential task in natural language processing (NLP), particularly in the context of manipulative political communications. However, identifying specific propaganda techniques presents a significant challenge due to their often subtle nature and reliance on context, making them difficult to di...

Large Language Models (LLMs) are prone to generating hallucinated content, which compromises their reliability in knowledge-intensive tasks. To address this challenge without sacrificing creativity, we propose HARPO, a reinforcement learning framework designed to jointly optimize faithfulness and creativity. HARPO inco...

Large language models (LLMs) contain broad knowledge, but they cannot access all of it reliably. We study this problem through knowledge accessibility, which describes whether the knowledge needed for a query can be recalled from the model. We find that knowledge accessibility has a simple geometric structure in the mo...
Unified multimodal models (UMMs) understand and generate both text and images, which lets a model produce its own training data. Existing self-improvement in UMMs keeps supervision on the visual side, where image understanding judges image generation. We propose recursive cross-capability self-improvement (RSI), a trai...
