A Contextual Memory Framework for Privacy-Preserving Local Cognitive Agents using SLM

My project, “A Contextual Memory Framework for Privacy-Preserving Local Cognitive Agents using SLM,” aims to develop an intelligent AI system that remembers previous conversations, user preferences, and important information across sessions while protecting user privacy. It uses a Small Language Model (SLM), structured...

Artificial intelligence in criminal investigation: effects of large language model consultation on confirmation bias in a simulated investigation game

Objectives Confirmation bias can distort information search and evidence interpretation in criminal investigations. We tested whether consulting a large language model (LLM) could reduce this bias in group decisions.Methods In total, 108 participants formed 36 three-person teams randomly assigned to LLM consultation, t...

LinkML: A Linked Open Data Modeling Language

A small point release that fixes install problems in 1.12.0 and one JSON Schema bug. Install fixes 1.12.0 could be installed alongside dependency versions it doesn't work with. Both problems show up as import errors. linkml-runtime must now be ≥ 1.12.0. linkml 1.12 uses linkml_runtime.utils.rdf_canonicalize, which firs...

The Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test in allied health sciences students: reliability, essential unidimensionality, and educational and behavioral correlates: a cross-sectional study

Introduction Emotional intelligence (EI) is an individual-difference characteristic relevant to how health-professions students learn, cope, and engage with support, making its valid measurement a prerequisite for research on student development in this field. This study examined the psychometric performance and educat...

Where Multi-Step Reasoning Breaks: Measuring Error Propagation and Structured Scaffolds in Small Language Models

Chain-of-thought prompting lets a language model write out its intermediate reasoning, and a wrong intermediate claim can carry through to a wrong final answer. This preprint measures that error propagation directly for Qwen2.5-1.5B, Qwen2.5-3B and Llama-3.2-3B Instruct, run locally in 4-bit. On ProofWriter, every grou...

No Such Emoji: A Controlled Benchmark and Activation-Patching Analysis of Vocabulary-Gap Confabulation

Asked for the seahorse emoji, language models often supply a wrong one. Unicode has none, so the correct answer is a refusal. Using the Unicode registry as an exact oracle, we build 180 probe items (123 in an absent-emoji core) and 174 matched controls, scored under a five-category taxonomy. On Qwen2.5-Instruct at 0.5B...

Quality prediction of iron ore pellets based on process data and a metallurgy-oriented large language model

Compressive strength is a key quality index of iron ore pellets, reflecting the combined effects of pellet integrity, material characteristics, thermal history, and operating conditions during grate–kiln pelletizing. Reliable early prediction of pellet compressive strength is therefore essential for burden-quality co...

Weighted Proportional Conflict Redistribution for Heterogeneous LLM Ensembles

Smaller language models often exhibit high confidence in erroneous predictions, undermining traditional ensemble methods. In heterogeneous ensembles, simple averaging can grant disproportionate influence to overconfident but incorrect outputs. This paper introduces a reliability-weighted extension of the Proportional C...

Large Language Model-Enabled Systems for Pediatric Speech and Language Assessment: A Scoping Review

Pediatric speech and language assessment supports the early identification of communication difficulties and access to timely intervention. Large language models (LLMs) and related generative artificial intelligence technologies are increasingly being incorporated into systems that analyze children’s speech and languag...

Commerce core: Low-Budget Multitask Adaptation for Structured E-Commerce Queries

Small language models offer a practical way to convert shopping queries into ex-ecutable constraints, but partial extraction accuracy can obscure whether the com-plete request is represented correctly. We study CommerceCore, a Qwen3-1.7B model adapted with QLoRA on 2,130 examples spanning entity segmentation, query con...

Do large language models know which published articles have been retracted?

Purpose Large Language Models (LLMs) can be helpful for literature search and summarization but retracted articles can confuse them. It is therefore important to know how aware LLMs are of retractions. Design/methodology/approach Three open-weight (offline) LLMs were asked whether 161 high-profile retracted articles ha...

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
