Data drift monitoring in the maintenance of cascade software for detecting falsified digital information

The article considers the maintenance stage of cascade software for detecting falsified digital information, in which inexpensive classifiers resolve most messages and pass uncertain ones to a large language model. After deployment, the distribution of messages changes because of new narratives, new text generators and...

TwinLens: an interpretability digital twin for LLMs

TwinLens builds a transcoder-based digital twin of a language model, predicts the effect of feature interventions, and checks each prediction against the real model. Across 8,064 interventions on GPT-2 small (56 prompts), the linear twin that attribution graphs describe ranks real effects poorly (Spearman rho 0.20). Th...

Multi-Modal LSFS - Theoretical Foundations for Extending LLM-Based Semantic File Systems with Unified Visual and Textual Indexing

The rapid evolution of Large Language Model (LLM) based agents has necessitated a fundamental paradigm shift in Operating System design, moving from hierarchical, inode-based file systems to semantic, intent-driven storage architectures. While the foundational LLM-based Semantic File System (LSFS) successfully demonstr...

A Region, Not a List: A Pre-Registered Bilingual Induction-Circuit Probe Across Three Scales

Mechanistic interpretability has mapped the induction circuit –- the attention head that copies a token it has seen in context –- almost exclusively in English models, and a circuit localized in one small carrier is routinely read as if it described the family. This paper does both tests at once. We report a pre-regist...

Retrieval-Grounded, Distractor-Robust Quantitative Reasoning with a Local Small Language Model: A System Report for DocSem 2026

We describe a three-stage pipeline submitted to the DocSem 2026 shared task on document-grounded quantitative reasoning with evidence attribution. Each task instance provides a scanned, image-only PDF containing a self-contained arithmetic word problem embedded among a large number of lexically similar but irrelevant d...

HALLUCINATION IN LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS: CAUSES, DETECTION, AND MITIGATION STRATEGIES

One of the common problems with LLMs (Large Language Models) is that they sometimes produce fluent text that deviates from the given source or from world knowledge, a phenomenon known as hallucination.In search engines, healthcare, legal and enterprise applications, the need for factually reliable LLM is now placed in...

A Small Language Model Does Not Reliably Exhibit Classic Decision Biases: A Preregistered Null Result in Qwen3-1.7B

Preregistered null result: a five-bias pilot battery (framing, conjunction fallacy, anchoring, endowment effect, cognitive reflection) run on Qwen3-1.7B-Instruct under CPU-only inference fails the preregistered 3-of-5 pass gate (2/5). Inference-only irrationality levers increase miscalibration. One-command reproduction...

PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN BERBASI KOMIK PADA MATERI MENULIS TEKS TANGGAPAN SISWA KELAS VII SMP NEGERI 2 NAMOHALU ESIWA

This study was motivated by the difficulties experienced by Grade VII students at SMP Negeri 2 Namohalu Esiwa in understanding the structure and composing response texts, as well as the limited variety of instructional media. It aimed to develop comic-based learning media, assess its feasibility and practicality, and d...

Feasible by Construction: Constrained Rule Search Yields Robust, Readable Offloading Policies Where a Learned Baseline Violates Hard Constraints –- and LLM Structure Proposals Add No Reliable Gain

Large language models are increasingly proposed as proposers of deployable decision rules, and vehicular edge (VEC) offloading is a natural target: a rule maps normalized task features to the fraction of a task's compute offloaded to an edge node, under four hard properties (safety isolation, per-task deadline, per-tas...

The Democratization of Legal Analysis Not Yet Complete: The Examinability of the Work as the Pivot that Completes It

The phrase “AI democratizes legal analysis” circulates unsorted. This work sorts the three layers wrapped inside it — access to documents, the capacity to produce a deep diagnosis, and the examinability of the work — and then holds one position: that democratization is arriving at the layer of capacity but is not yet c...

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
