Evaluating and explaining LLM classification for automatic screening in Systematic Reviews

Evidence synthesis methods, such as systematic reviews (SR), require research teams to find, select, evaluate, and synthesize all available evidence to answer a specific research question in a reproducible and transparent, bias-reduced manner. Early in the process, teams must screen all unique titles and abstracts gath...

Safer On-Premise Medical AI: A Hybrid Framework for Hallucination Detection in Local LLMs

LLMs (Large Language Models) are increasingly integrated into medical workflows to provide decision-making support, for example as Question Answering (QA) systems. However, in medical context, privacy requirements and resource constraints require the use of local and small (1B-parameter) LLMs. 1B-parameter LLMs are hig...

Enhancing credit risk scorecards with transactional-based behavioural features

Background: Credit risk modelling is fundamental in financial institutions, typically using credit history, repayment behaviour, income, and outstanding debt to estimate a borrower's probability of default. Although transactional data are sometimes incorporated through aggregated measures such as recency, frequency, an...

What Do Audio-Language Judges of Generated Music Listen For? Four Probes with Controls from Expert Ratings

Open audio-language models are used as judges of generated music: given a clip and its text prompt, the model rates the clip, and the judge is validated by how well its ratings correlate with expert ratings. The correlation does not show what the judge responds to: the music, the text prompt, or the way the question is...

AMLworld-Compact: Importance-Weighted Downsampling for Cost-Effective LLM Evaluation and Error Diagnosis

Evaluating large language models (LLMs) on AMLworld's smallest test splits is costly because each of over a million targets requires a separate graph prompt. Sampling reduces this cost, but small balanced subsets change unweighted precision and F1. We introduce AMLworld-Compact, an evaluation set that retains every ill...

Proactive Agentic Orchestration

Agentic orchestration delegates tasks to sub-agents with independent contexts, providing a key path to extending the effective execution horizon of large language model agents. However, existing orchestration methods face two limitations: in execution, current methods fix sub-agents'goals and harnesses at creation time...

Host-Aware Web Crawling for LLM Pretraining Data

Web crawling is a major source of large language model (LLM) pretraining data, yet data-selection pipelines discard a large share of crawled pages. We investigate how a crawler should allocate its budget across and within hosts to collect more high-quality pretraining data. Combining document-level quality classifier s...

From 2.1M Hours of Raw Broadcast Audio to Finnish Speech SSL: Confidence Filtering and Architectural Analysis at Scale

Broadcast archives offer scale and diversity for self-supervised learning (SSL) but contain substantial noisy, non-speech, and multilingual content. Prior work typically relies on voice activity detection or language identification (LID) to extract speech, ensuring presence rather than quality. Whether and how to filte...

RAMP: Recurrent Adaptive Mixed Precision for Efficient Prefill in Recurrent-Depth Language Models

Recurrent-depth language models improve inference-time reasoning by repeatedly applying a shared network to refine internal representations, but the additional recurrent computation also increases inference cost. This overhead is particularly pronounced during long-context prefill, where the full input sequence is repe...

Language Models Have Interpretable Narrative Mechanisms

We investigate whether language models contain internal components that contribute to representing narrativity, the degree to which a text exhibits narrative properties. Across GPT-2-Small, Gemma-2-2B, and Llama-3.1-8B, we identify attention heads, MLP neurons, and sparse autoencoder features whose activations correlat...

Overcoming Data Imbalances with Expert Selection Biases

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have become the standard architecture for frontier LLMs. The multiple parallel experts in each transformer block theoretically enable expert specialization according to categories such as domains, languages, or modalities during pretraining. However, when data is imbalanced across catego...

Forecasting Corpus-Sampling Disagreement in Masked Text Reconstruction

If a second text corpus were collected from the same population, how much would a predictor's outputs change? We study this question for masked-text reconstruction using a smoothed predictor built from nearby token-pair counts and evaluated over the full 50,257-token GPT-2 vocabulary. Treating each source document as o...

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.
