NS-Filtered Fine-Tuning: 86.8% Compute Reduction with Equal or Better Benchmark Performance

Modern language model training applies a uniform gradient update to every token, regardless of its information content. We introduce NS-weighted training, which filters training examples by their Shannon information. On a 50MB sample of the C4 web corpus, unigram NS-data filtering matches a 1000-step standard training...

Scalable Oversight Across Generative Visual AI: Toward Visual Storytelling for Everyone

Generative visual AI has advanced by scaling data and compute, but its next bottleneck is oversight: the expert signals that evaluate, reward, and teach models what ``good'' looks like. Providing such oversight is increasingly difficult because foundation vision-language models now match or surpass most humans at the s...

Inherited Weights: Measuring the Tokenization Premium and the Sovereignty Cost of Language Models for the Global South

Most language models deployed outside the United States and China are fine-tuned descendants of a small number of pretrained families. We argue that fine-tuning leaves the decisive properties of a model inherited from its base: vocabulary, knowledge, cultural alignment, memorized data and license. We contribute (i) an...

Research Gap Discovery Dataset: LLM-Extracted Limitations and Research Gaps from 3,326 Scientific Papers

This dataset contains 3,326 recent arXiv computer science papers (first versions dated 16 March to 17 July 2026). For each paper, a large language model read the title and abstract and wrote one sentence each on the paper's main limitation, an open research gap for future work, and why that gap matters. It was built to...

The Model Is a Dependency: Provenance and Error Detection in Financial Data Extraction

This work was produced through an AI-assisted workflow directed and reviewed by the author. This study separates identifying a model run from checking whether its numeric answer is correct. It evaluates a membership-only source check and top-20 truncated token entropy on a small water-table task, then examines extracti...

Tipping Points in LLM-Based Multi-Agent Systems: Stance on Climate Change Action

The findings to date suggest that significant abrupt changes in climate-change stance do occur in this simple model, and the need to prevent LLM biases from interfering with the conversational dynamics and, more generally, to maintain agent personality and episodic memories of interactions in the face of such biases is...

Lattice in Line: Optimized DMRG ordering for complex lattice geometries

The density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) is a one-dimensional tensor-network technique, but it is not limited to one-dimensional systems: it can be applied to periodic 2D and 3D clusters and molecules, provided their sites are first enumerated along a line; a step one may call"lattice compilation". This paper di...

ImIR: Image-Instruction Tuning for All-in-One Image Restoration

A recent and effective recipe adapts a large pretrained image-editing model to restoration using a small low-rank adapter with a text prompt to an instruction derived from the degraded image itself that outperforms text conditioning under a matched comparison.

ESIC Series: Paper 8 Governance principles and considerations: Evidence Synthesis Infrastructure Collaborative Governance Planning Group.

OBJECTIVE To develop guiding principles and governance options for the Evidence Synthesis Infrastructure Collaborative (ESIC) to ensure its effectiveness, legitimacy, and sustainability. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING ESIC was established with Wellcome Trust funding to strengthen global evidence synthesis infrastructure an...

Reading Right, Answering Wrong: How Visual Configuration Changes Affect Evidence Use in VLMs

Findings show that configuration changes can affect how models use information they can still read, and attention interventions in LLaVA-NeXT suggest that configuration changes can weaken the use of readable information during answering.

Hot–Cold Tiering of HBM and High Bandwidth Flash for Agentic LLM Serving

This work places the hot set in HBM and the cold pool in HBF, forming a hot-cold KV hierarchy within the GPU memory tier, while flash-establishing HBF as a cold-tier complement to HBM rather than its replacement.
