TraceRouter++: Causal Semantic Routing Realignment via Optimal Transport

Despite their remarkable capabilities, large foundation models (LFMs) remain susceptible to adversarial manipulation. Current safety intervention methods primarily rely on the \textit{locality hypothesis}, rigidly suppressing isolated neurons or features. However, harmful semantics manifest as distributed, cross-layer...

CardioVascBench:Prioritized Diagnosis Generation from Real-World Chinese Cardiovascular Records

Identifying the primary diagnosis alone does not fully characterize a model's diagnosis-generation performance. We introduce CardioVascBench, a retrospective benchmark for prioritized diagnosis generation from real-world Chinese cardiovascular inpatient records. It contains 3,262 de-identified cases, with 2,174 for tra...

MIMIC-Note-Extract: A Large-Scale Structured Dataset Extracted from MIMIC-IV-Note Discharge Summaries

MIMIC is one of the most widely used public hospital datasets for machine learning on electronic health records, yet clinically important information, such as past medical history, allergies, and diagnostic findings, remains confined to free-text discharge summaries. Studies requiring this information must therefore bu...

TEMPO: Time Series Understanding via Discrete Tokenization

Time-series interpretation often requires both numerical observations and textual context. Integrating these inputs into a pretrained language model raises a representation question: how should a signal enter the model's token sequence? We present TEMPO, which extends an LLM's vocabulary with discrete codes from a cont...

ReListen: Training-Free Evidence Localization in Hour-Long Audio with Frozen Audio Language Models

ReListen is a training-free method in which a frozen audio language model finds its own evidence before answering, and its memory stays constant even for recordings too long to hear whole on one GPU, therefore, a frozen audio language model can search hour-long recordings by itself, without a transcript or additional t...

Typological Feature Induction as a Benchmark for Inductive Metalinguistic Reasoning

Existing metalinguistic reasoning benchmarks require both inference of rules and their application, making failures hard to diagnose. We introduce typological feature induction (TFI) which targets the former step. Given sentences in an unnamed language paired with translations in a known pivot language, models must pre...

The Min-Max theory of language behavior

The "Min-Max" theory of language behavior proposes that humans engage simultaneously in minimization of processing effort and maximization of information content, and that this is a primary driver in language evolution (Ring, 2025). This claim seeks to unify observations from language processing (Mahowald et al., 2013;...

Do Multi-Turn Conversational Capabilities Carry Over from Text to Speech? A Parallel Multilingual Benchmark

Successful multi-turn voice interaction requires models to retain information from earlier turns, follow persistent instructions, and track revisions to conversational state. These abilities are usually evaluated from transcripts, leaving open whether successes demonstrated from text carry over when the same turns are...

COMPREHEND: Ultra-Fine-Grained Benchmark Understanding by Entailment Hierarchy

Understanding what kind of prompts users typically ask and how well an LLM performs on these prompt categories is crucial for LLM practitioners. The existing methods satisfy the demand by hierarchically clustering the user prompts and synthesizing the cluster names using an LLM to build a taxonomy. However, the cluster...

Shared Context Candidate Scoring with Jointly Adapted Readout Networks

Repeated decisions over a shared document create two distinct opportunities: reusing document computation and adapting how question representations score candidate answers. We present Q64, a candidate-scoring system that preserves a frozen 64-layer Qwen3.8-27B text backbone, reuses its hybrid prefix state and intermedi...

PACT: Certifying What Is Written in Parallel Decoding of Diffusion Language Models

Parallel decoding speeds up masked diffusion language models by writing several tokens per forward pass. Published commit rules choose these tokens by testing the predicted distributions. Under sampling the written tokens are drawn, and these tests do not see them. We find that answer quality follows the reliability of...
