Adapting LLM-SC to Living Sacred Heritage: Domain-Specific Extraction, Semantic Networks and Human Evaluation on Pashupatinath Temple Reviews

Large language model (LLM) pipelines can turn visitor reviews into structured data, but generic schemes may miss rituals, sacred spaces, cultural restrictions and emotionally mixed experiences at living sacred heritage sites. We adapted the LLM-Social Computing (LLM-SC) framework to Pashupatinath Temple, Nepal, by spec...

Evaluating DeepSeek V4.1 Flash-1017 for loss of control and harmful manipulation risks

As frontier language models grow increasingly capable and autonomous, independent third-party evaluations are critical for characterizing their systemic safety risks. While closed-source releases are routinely accompanied by comprehensive system cards, open-weight models receive less scrutiny regarding frontier risks....

Improving JEV Entailment Reranking with Span Readouts and Selective Adaptation

JEV decision models pair a language model backbone with a lightweight scoring head to select among natural-language options. Direct selection compares candidate answers within one request, whereas entailment reranking evaluates each candidate in a separate natural language inference (NLI) request over fixed relation op...

Offline Language-Based Support System for Tactical Decision-Making in Air Combat Operations

An offline language-based support tool is presented to assist pilot training and tactical decision-making in air combat operations. The system, named MATE (Mission Assistant for Training and Evaluation), applies retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to answer natural language questions using content extracted from doctr...

Hierarchical Skill Evolution for Coding Agent

Skills provide agents with reusable experience to guide future decisions without modifying the underlying model. However, coding trajectories are often entangled with task- and repository-specific contexts, making it challenging to distill procedural skills that generalize across diverse coding environments. To address...

Making Reasoning Visible: Configuration-Aware Diagnostic Modeling for Adaptive Scaffolding in Structured Reasoning Tasks

Modeling the latent, multi-step reasoning processes of learners is a core challenge for adaptive tutoring systems, which often rely on simple right/wrong answers rather than understanding how students think. Instantiated here for grammatical reasoning, this study introduces a diagnostic framework that makes students'st...

EXCISE: Locating and Excising Distracting Sentences in Medical Question Answering

Language models are increasingly considered for clinical decision support, where their answers should be grounded in clinical evidence and remain robust to irrelevant information. Prior work shows that a single irrelevant sentence can lower the accuracy of medical models, but not where inside the model its effect can b...

LoopFold: Parallelizing Recurrent Depth in Looped Transformers

Looped Transformers increase computation per token by repeatedly applying a shared backbone, offering a way to improve language modeling and downstream task performance at a fixed backbone parameter count. However, each loop depends on the preceding loop, so increasing recurrent depth also increases decoding latency. E...

StateLoop: Persistent State for Looped Transformers

Looped Transformers offer a parameter-efficient approach to language modeling by repeatedly applying a shared backbone. Vanilla looped Transformers use each backbone output directly as the input to the next iteration. These outputs may contain information useful several iterations later, but retaining it across the loo...

An Algorithmic Account of Few-Shot Concept Induction in Language Models

Both models and minds not only encode features that describe an entity, but can specifically represent which features of that entity are relevant for a given context. This core capability underlies in-context learning in language models and a variety of cognitive phenomena in minds, yet it is unclear how intelligent sy...

MATCHA: A Chinese Multi-Disorder Mental Health Dataset with Cross-Lingual Analyses on Social Media

Mental health research on social media has been dominated by English-language datasets and DSM-5-centered resources, limiting cross-lingual and cross-cultural understanding of online mental health expression. We introduce MATCHA, the first Chinese multi-disorder mental health dataset that links disorder-specific Weibo...

Beyond Words Alone: Disentangling Distributed Evidence for Visually Grounded Cultural Translation

Social media enables cross-lingual communication, yet the meaning of user-generated content (UGC) is often distributed across text, images, and cultural knowledge, making translation challenging. Existing evaluations typically treat images as optional and assume textual information is sufficient, obscuring whether erro...
