Annotations Mitigate Post-Training Mode Collapse

Post-training (via supervised fine-tuning) improves instruction-following, but often induces semantic mode collapse by biasing models toward low-entropy fine-tuning data at the expense of the high-entropy pretraining distribution. Crucially, we find this trade-off worsens with scale. To close this semantic diversity ga...

When Misinformation Speaks and Converses: Rethinking Fact-Checking in Audio Platforms

Audio platforms have evolved beyond entertainment. They have become central to public discourse, from podcasts and radio to WhatsApp voice notes and live streams. With millions of shows and hundreds of millions of listeners, audio platforms are now a major channel for misinformation. Yet existing fact-checking pipeline...

Latent-Condensed Transformer for Efficient Long Context Modeling

LCA is proposed, which directly condenses context within MLA's latent space, where the representation is disentangled into semantic latent vectors and positional keys, and jointly reduces both computational cost and KV cache without adding parameters.

EchoKV: Efficient KV Cache Compression via Similarity-Based Reconstruction

The increasing memory demand of the Key-Value (KV) cache poses a significant bottleneck for Large Language Models (LLMs) in long-context applications. Existing low-rank KV compression methods reduce this footprint by modifying model projections, limiting the flexibility to switch back to standard full-cache inference w...

Novelty Reviewer: A Large-Scale Dataset and Model for Reviewer-Aligned Novelty Assessment

Assessing novelty in AI research is arguably the most consequential yet least reliable step in peer review. Reviewer judgments of novelty remain inconsistent and dependent on comparisons to prior work that are often incomplete. We release a large-scale Novelty Reviewer Dataset built from 102,021 official reviews of 37,...

Multicultural Spyfall: Assessing LLMs through a Dynamic Multilingual Social Deduction Game

The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has necessitated more robust evaluation methods that go beyond static benchmarks, which are increasingly prone to data saturation and leakage. In this paper, we propose a dynamic benchmarking framework for evaluating multilingual and multicultural capabilities throu...

Training with Subword Variants Delays Overfitting in Repeated-Data Language Modeling

Subword tokenization introduces a computational layer in language models, where many distinct token sequences decode to the same surface form while preserving meaning, yet induce different internal computations. Despite this non-uniqueness, language models are typically trained using a single canonical deterministic to...

Mindscape-Aware Retrieval Augmented Generation for Improved Long Context Understanding

Humans understand long and complex texts by relying on a holistic semantic representation of the content. This global view helps organize prior knowledge, interpret new information, and integrate evidence dispersed across a document, as revealed by the Mindscape-Aware Capability of humans in psychology. Current Retriev...

PersonaFuse: A Situation-Aware Post-Training Framework for Adaptive LLM Behavior in Enterprise Tasks

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in enterprise settings to support task execution and workflow automation. Despite the strong performance of general-purpose models on standard benchmarks, organizations often need to adapt them to domain-specific tasks and operational constraints in practice. Howev...

Beyond Isolated Dots: Benchmarking Structured Table Construction as Deep Knowledge Extraction

AOE (Arranged and Organized Extraction), a bilingual benchmark that evaluates LLMs'ability to distill long-form, multi-document inputs into structured tables, is introduced, revealing that structured extraction from long contexts remains a fundamental challenge - an"Area of Effect"(AOE) that impacts all tested systems.

Towards Optimal Multi-draft Speculative Decoding

The results show that the draft sampling method strongly influences the optimal acceptance rate, with sampling without replacement outperforming sampling with replacement, and the theoretical upper bound of MDSD efficiency is measured for the first time.

Semantic Self-Consistency: Enhancing Language Model Reasoning via Semantic Weighting

While large language models (LLMs) have rapidly improved their performance on a broad number of tasks, they still often fall short on reasoning tasks. As LLMs become more integrated in diverse real-world tasks, advancing their reasoning capabilities is crucial to their effectiveness in nuanced, complex problems. Wang e...
