Rewrite, Then Veto: Rewriter-Agnostic Edit Gating for LLM-Based Post-OCR Correction

LLMs can repair noisy OCR transcripts of historical documents, but they also change text that was already correct. We propose EditVeto, a veto gate placed after a full-context LLM rewrite. The rewrite is character-aligned to the OCR input, its differences are split into blocks, and a 0.6B-parameter gate keeps or revert...

When to Ask, When to Answer: Strategic Clarification for Ambiguous Reference Resolution in Dialogue

For humans, referential disambiguation is a collaborative process involving clarification questions asked when they will meaningfully change the outcome. However, large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be biased toward premature answering, preferring definite single-turn responses over more clarification excha...

AI-Driven SaaS Platform Integration: AI Express for Unified Generative AI Services with Pay-As-You-Go Credit Systems and Scalable Microservice Architecture

Generative AI is currently fragmented, with separate subscriptions required for text generation, image synthesis, and code assistance, leading to high costs and workflow disruptions. AI Express is a SaaS platform that consolidates these capabilities into a unified pay-as-you-go service. The platform provides a range of...

SRRM: A Retrieval-Reconstruction Benchmark for Evaluating Long-Context Memory in Small Language Models

Small Language Models (SLMs) are increasingly deployed on consumer-grade hardware, yet their ability to preserve information across progressively longer contexts remains insufficiently understood. Existing benchmarks primarily evaluate retrieval-oriented tasks, providing limited insight into whether successful retrieva...

Same Origin, Different Verdicts: Text Production Conditions Confound Machine-Generated Text Detection in Russian

Automated detection of machine-generated text is applied where the verdict carries a cost for the author, yet origin is a property of the production process, not an observable property of the text. The conditions under which a text is produced push it in the same direction in which a generative model is presumed to pus...

Human-like cross-language generalisation in deep neural speaker embeddings and its acoustic foundations

Generalisability is a central question for deep neural networks, including the cross-language generalisation of speaker embeddings. This study examined whether deep neural speaker embeddings generalise across languages and how such generalisation relates to human perception and acoustic structure. Using Cantonese--Engl...

CCDWIKI: Decoupling Case Formulation from Response Generation in Longitudinal CBT Dialogue

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) demands more than empathic validation, requiring instead a structured formulation of the interplay among situations, automatic thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Therapists formalize this interplay through a Cognitive Conceptualization Diagram, where maintaining longitudinal coherence...

DS@GT ARC at CheckThat! 2026: A Verdict-Anchored Pipeline for Generating Fact-Checking Articles

Misinformation spreads faster than professional fact-checkers can manually verify it and write articles explaining their verdicts. This creates a need to automate the production of fact-checking articles. This paper details work done by the DS@GT ARC team for CLEF 2026 CheckThat! Lab Task 3 Fact-Checking Article Genera...

Discourse Analysis of Legislative Bill Discussions

Legislative hearings are distinct communication events with their own human recognizable structure and logic, yet they have been analyzed as distinct phenomena beyond their transcripts. Understanding legislative hearings at a deeper level is a major step in analyzing the work and power relationships within democratic b...

Reconsidering Positional Supervision in Masked Diffusion Language Model Training

Masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) generate text by unmasking tokens in parallel and have recently emerged as alternatives to autoregressive language models. They can be viewed as parallel decoders trained with a position-wise cross-entropy (CE) loss, the same setup as non-autoregressive translation (NAT). In NAT...

Invariant Features in Language Models: Geometric Characterization and Model Attribution

Language models exhibit strong robustness to paraphrasing, suggesting that semantic information may be encoded through stable internal representations, yet the structure and origin of such invariance remain unclear. We propose a local geometric framework in which semantically equivalent inputs produce representations t...

Prescriptive Scaling Laws for Data Constrained Training

Training compute is increasingly outpacing the availability of high-quality data. This shifts the central challenge from optimal compute allocation to extracting maximum value from limited data. The widely adopted Chinchilla scaling law assumes every training token is unique. This limits its ability to guide pretrainin...

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.
