Conceptizer: Next-Token Prediction Is Not All You Need

Next-token prediction (NTP) rewards only the token that occurs next, penalizing every alternative. But natural language often offers many ways to express the same meaning. We introduce Conceptizer, a training framework that extends next-token prediction with a reward for meaning. Conceptizer uses a fixed, model-agnosti...

Mine or Yours? Mind-Bridged Language Models Take Each Other's Memories as Their Own

If your brain were connected directly to someone else's, would you still know which thoughts were yours? We build a functional version with two copies of one language model: each holds a private rule and code word, and one copy, the receiver, also attends to its partner's internal memory. The receiver took its partner'...

SUDO: From Scientific Publications to Global Scholarly Discourse

Scholarly Knowledge Graphs (SKGs) support literature search, scientific discovery, and agent-assisted research. Yet, most approaches to SKG construction pre-specify the knowledge unit to be represented, typically named scholarly entities or contribution-level statements, and retain only the publication content expressi...

Merge-Based Vocabulary Extension Stalls at the Pre-Tokenizer: An English-Preserving Repair for Nepali, Tested in Continued Pretraining

Llama-3, Qwen3 and many other open LLMs pre-tokenize text with a regular expression whose word class admits only Unicode letters. Devanagari vowel signs are combining marks, so this regex splits Nepali words at every vowel sign, and models that use it spend 2.6 to 5.8 times as many tokens on Nepali as on the same Engli...

SLICE-Mem: Salience-Gated Lightweight Information Curation for Efficient LLM Agent Memory

Long-term memory enables large language model (LLM) agents to maintain personalized and temporally coherent interactions, but repeated LLM inference for memory admission, extraction, and organization introduces substantial cost and latency. We present SLICE-Mem, a lightweight memory framework that combines salience-gui...

The Social World Model Evaluation Gap

A negotiation assistant can reach a good deal without accurately predicting the other person's response. We ask whether evaluations of social world models test that prediction directly. We audit 113 works published from 1999 to 2026. 9 primary evaluations measure a real person's response to an action selected by the sy...

Recursive Semantic Divergence for LLM Agent Consistency

Large Language Model (LLM) agents with tool use exhibit inconsistent behavior across independent runs from identical states, calling different tools, producing contradictory outputs, or pursuing divergent strategies. This variability compounds over time and undermines deployment reliability. Existing evaluation metrics...

TraceQuery: learning what to recompute from full-denoising trajectory in diffusion language models

Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) enable flexible generation through iterative masked denoising, but incur substantial inference cost because token representations are repeatedly recomputed across denoising steps. Existing cache-based methods reduce this cost by reusing intermediate results across denoising steps...

Entity-Aware Evaluation of OCR Systems for Historical Document Transcription

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is essential for digitizing historical archives, yet standard evaluation metrics such as Character Error Rate (CER) do not necessarily reflect whether meaningful information, such as names, dates, and identifiers, is preserved. In this work, we investigate entitylevel analysis of OCR...

Whispering Wisely: Smart Subset Selection for ASR Fine-Tuning

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models such as OpenAIs Whisper have substantially improved speech recognition quality but remain expensive to fine-tune, especially when large amounts of transcribed audio are available. This makes it challenging for many practitioners to adapt these models to new languages or domains...

Where Rounding Happens Matters: Rounding-Location Alignment Stabilizes LLM Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning for large language models often uses separate systems for inference and training. Even with identical weights and BF16 tensors, implementation differences can make an intended on-policy update off-policy and destabilize training. Existing remedies align the entire inference and training stacks, c...

Learning from Next-Frame Prediction: Towards Unified and Scalable Visual World Modeling

Video provides a natural source of supervision: what happens next serves as a learning signal for visual world modeling. Yet masked video pretraining focuses on recovering missing content from surrounding context rather than predicting the future from the past. Autoregressive methods instead predict forward one token a...
