Language Models as AI Research World Models

AI research agents automate the cycle of proposing, implementing, and evaluating experiments, opening a path toward recursive self-improvement. Yet their ability to propose experiments outpaces their capacity to execute them in real environments, making outcome prediction a key capability for sustained self-improvement...

A persistent accuracy ceiling in automated verbal deception detection

Automated methods have been proposed to overcome the limitations of human verbal deception detection, but evidence remains fragmented across disciplines. We systematically reviewed 25 years of research (289 reports, 6,136 classification models) and meta-analyzed 3,653 models nested within 97 datasets. Pooled accuracy w...

ILM: An AI-Powered Storytelling Educational Tool

ILM, an interactive educational platform for Stories of the Prophets that combines Arabic natural language processing, structured knowledge representation, and retrieval-based question generation, demonstrates the feasibility of combining structured knowledge representation and retrieval-based generation to support int...

Natural Language to First-Order Logic LLM-based Autoformalization

This paper provides a principled definition for the FOL-autoformalization task by distinguishing Ontology Extraction from Logical Translation and identifies open challenges in benchmarking, semantic evaluation, ontology-aware methods, and end-to-end applications.

Specialized Decision Models vs. General-Purpose LLMs: Benchmarking Jev Across Knowledge, Reasoning, and Multilingual Tasks

Jev is a"System One"model that returns a choice among given options instead of generating text. We study how such a specialized decision model compares with general-purpose large language models (LLMs). We evaluate Jev on 13 multiple-choice benchmarks covering knowledge, reasoning, and multilingual understanding, and c...

MiMo-V2.6: Scaling Reinforcement Learning Towards Self-Improvement

The MiMo-V2.6 series is introduced, an omni-modal family that pushes the frontier of model intelligence by scaling RL compute by building infrastructure for mixed-task agentic RL, including a unified trajectory representation, high-concurrency multi-framework rollout, decoupled control and data planes, and training-inf...

When History Helps and Hurts: Selective History Use across Multimodal Turns

Reliable multimodal interaction depends on selective use of conversational history: an earlier question may remain relevant while its previous answer is outdated, whereas a current request may depend on historical evidence despite conflicting new observations. Existing multi-turn evaluations rarely separate these histo...

Event-Centric Memory with Query-Aware Graph Augmentation for Long-Term Conversational Agents

For persistent and personalized conversational agents, memory systems can enable them to remember, update, and reason over long histories by storing past interactions and retrieving relevant information. Existing memory systems typically follow two paradigms: flat-structured memory and graph-based memory. The former is...

Not Every Change Is Necessary: Recoverable Drift in Large Language Model Unlearning

Machine unlearning in large language models aims to remove unwanted knowledge while preserving the model's remaining capabilities. Although existing methods use retention objectives or restrict where edits occur, achieving the desired forgetting level can still leave collateral changes that impair non-target behavior....

Can Decision Models Understand Stance? Evaluating Jev Against General-Purpose LLMs

Evaluated Jev on two stance detection datasets, VAST and ZS-CSD, shows competitive performance on VAST, matching GPT-5.6 and outperforming the other general-purpose LLMs, but falls behind stronger LLMs on ZS-CSD, particularly in distinguishing favor from against.

Detecting Spin in Clinical Trials with Large Language Models

Spin in clinical trials includes reporting practices that distort the presentation of results. This is particularly critical in medicine, where spin is present in more than 50% of randomized controlled trials that fail to reach statistical significance. The comparison of primary and reported outcomes is crucial for det...
