Does a language model answer better because its compressed memory contains useful document information? Replacing memory vectors with zeros can lower a trained model's score without showing that it outperforms a model trained without memory. We combine zeroing with separately trained models that cannot access stored te...

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for multi-turn agentic tasks that require interactions with users and environments over extended sequences of actions. A common approach to improving LLM agents is to use more capable expert models to provide training supervision, either by behavior cloning the expert'...

This paper presents LLM-jp-4, a family of Japanese sovereign large language models (LLMs) developed with an emphasis on transparency, reproducibility, and practical usability. LLM-jp-4 comprises an 8B dense model and a 32B-A3B mixture-of-experts model, both trained from scratch on approximately 12 trillion tokens. To s...
Benchmarks shape how model capabilities are measured and interpreted, yet their scores can obscure whose conventions, contexts, and judgments define successful performance. We introduce a user-centric audit framework that distinguishes users who contribute benchmark content from those whose needs evaluation results are...

Transformers are intuitively considered to be efficient at copying from their inputs. We actually show that the ability of LLMs to copy in context can be improved through explicit modeling. We propose Copy-Paste Language Models (CPLMs), which add a lightweight Copy-Paste head to the conventional language modeling (LM)...
Transformer language models develop attention heads that specialize in syntactic relations, for example, attending from verbs to their subjects. Do these heads play a causal role in the model's syntactic predictions? Evidence for such a role is mixed to negative: even when we force these heads to attend to a distractor...
Transformers are efficient to pre-train at scale because attention permits parallel computation across sequence positions, but long-context inference requires increasingly large KV caches. Efficient recurrent alternatives reduce the asymptotic complexity of inference, but their sequential dependence limits token-wise p...
Feature distillation is usually expected to add to logit distillation. We find that this expectation does not hold for two common feature losses in compact multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR), and analyze why through their gradients. The gradient of a projection-based loss is orthogonal to the task gradient...

It is demonstrated that strong English summarization performance does not necessarily transfer to Bengali and the need for comprehensive evaluation frameworks for low-resource languages is emphasized.

Robot actions vary in both extent and mode: how much change they produce and what kind of change they produce. A latent action space that reflects this structure may make it easier for downstream policies to map latent actions to robot actions. However, existing latent action methods typically rely on visual reconstruc...

Accurate and interpretable motion prediction for heterogeneous traffic spaces, including pedestrians, bicycles, cars, and trucks, is essential for safe autonomous navigation. Nevertheless, state-of-the-art approaches remain predominantly black-box, lacking explicit encoding of the regulatory and behavioral constraints...

LLM agents organize behavior through skills -- structured natural-language specifications that govern how an agent reasons, retrieves, and responds. Unlike monolithic prompts, skills are multi-field artifacts with platform limits: descriptions are indexed for routing, instruction bodies are loaded into a shared context...
