This work asks what it takes to talk a model out of an answer it gets right on its own, and separate three factors that earlier studies vary together: where the advice sits in the prompt, who is said to have written it, and what the model has already written.
We replicate the riichi-mahjong track of "Can Large Language Models Master Complex Card Games?" (arXiv:2509.01328) under a drastically smaller budget: models of at most 2B parameters, one 16 GB consumer GPU, about five GPU-days. (1) With matched data and labels, text is the bottleneck: on the same 100k-decision trainin...
User memory helps personalized systems build on their understanding of users over time. In e-commerce, users convey their preferences and needs through both explicit language and implicit interactions with products. We study memory built from logs of these interactions, examining how it can \emph{remember} concrete evi...

Knowledge editing aims to update outdated or incorrect knowledge in large language models without full retraining. Existing parameter-editing methods remain limited for long-sequence knowledge: single-point editors provide insufficient coverage for extended targets, while fixed chunk-based editors distribute editing ef...

This work introduces a multi-level evaluation built on existing, verifiable tasks, and shows why ToM evaluation must connect perspective inference to independently verified decisions and task consequences.

In high-stakes domains such as finance, critical information evolves through multi-party interaction. Recovering these changes and their sources is fundamental to reliable speech understanding. Existing speech benchmarks focus on transcription, local understanding, and turn-level state prediction, leaving joint decisio...

Knowing when they are reliable is essential for language models to support human-AI collaboration. Yet interaction feedback is not always complete or correct, and may mislead models'understanding of their own capabilities. We introduce LADDER to study how language models assess themselves under unreliable feedback. Our...

An agent that truly knows and acts on behalf of its user has been a long-standing promise of AI assistants. Computer-use agents bring this promise within reach by capably executing fully specified tasks across apps. However, real-world user requests are often underspecified. To act correctly for the particular user, an...

Latency-sensitive spoken agents must know not only which tool to call, but also when they have heard enough to act. Waiting for the turn to complete delays execution even when the request is already actionable. However, neither existing spoken agents nor spoken dialogue corpora define the earliest point at which a requ...

Entity matching is the task of deciding whether two records describe the same real-world entity. Current entity matching methods rely on pre-trained language models (PLMs) which require task specific fine-tuning or generative large language models (LLMs) which do not require task-specific fine-tuning but are slow and e...

A chunky gold-tone chain necklace bought online for 2.43 USD was photographed four ways: worn with formal attire against a wood-panelled wall, worn at a party, worn with casual clothing in a recycling yard, and laid flat with no person present. We asked six frontier language models to estimate its price in 1,164 indepe...
Tabular data is widely used in scientific applications, where complex layouts, including multi-level headers, merged cells, captions, and footnotes, make information extraction difficult. This is particularly important in pharmacokinetics (PK), where values must be correctly associated with the drug, species, dose, adm...
