Users of conversational assistants rarely state all requirements up front: they add constraints, amend them, withdraw them, digress, and return. Instruction-tuned LLMs fail here in two ways: active constraints stop being honored as turns accumulate (persistence failure), and withdrawn constraints keep being enacted (re...
Streaming automatic speech recognition transcribes at low latency but produces an unattributed word stream, while real-time applications such as customer-service analytics need each word tied to a speaker role. Role attribution is usually a separate stage, either an offline or streaming speaker-diarization model aligne...

As machine translation systems approach human-level quality, traditional evaluation methodologies struggle to detect subtle translation errors. We critically examine limitations in current gold-standard approaches (MQM and ESA), including inconsistencies from variable annotator expertise, excessive categorization compl...

LLM-based evaluators have rapidly become a standard tool for machine translation evaluation, yet the design choices that shape their behavior remain poorly understood. We present a systematic study of how instruction design, few-shot demonstrations, backbone model choice, and multi-step workflows affect span-level and...

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for medical self-diagnosis. However, the way demographic cues shape outputs in these interactions remains poorly understood. This is particularly consequential for diagnoses like ADHD, where persistent gender disparities are not fully aligned with the clinical evidence...

Educational taxonomies organize educational content, such as exercise problems, into concepts, which are also called skills or knowledge components. These taxonomies define learning objectives in educational applications such as intelligent tutoring systems. Developed through human expertise and iterative refinement, t...

Can AI agents autonomously train useful language models and improve them using feedback from users? We introduce RSI Arena, a two-stage study of autonomous post-training as a step toward recursive self-improvement. Ten frontier models act as training agents, each starting from NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B-A3B Base...

Hallucination detection is increasingly important for evaluating and deploying large language models. However, existing methods are often compared across benchmarks that define and measure hallucination in substantially different ways, making reported scores difficult to interpret across settings. We study hallucinatio...
Depression severity estimation is crucial for mental health assessment and intervention, yet traditional approaches depend on clinical interviews or self-report questionnaires that require users' active participation. With the widespread use of online social media, users leave rich social traces that may reflect their...

Multilingual BabyLM systems usually fix language sampling proportions even though the weakest language can change during training. We present ARMOR-DP, a modular framework that diagnoses imbalance arising from representation, exposure, capacity, and objective pressure, and uses per-language validation loss to update sa...
Successful tool-use trajectories are not necessarily useful supervision. Even successful interactions may underrepresent multi-step dependencies or contain actions that are unjustified by the information visible to the agent at decision time. We identify two coupled requirements for effective trajectory supervision: co...

This work proposes Selective Detection And Targeted Editing (SEDATE), a training-free approach based on detect-edit-verify strategy that achieves substantially superior safety scores across all languages and models over the best-performing baseline while retaining the general capabilities and incurring negligible overh...
