Speech large language models (speech LLMs) perform well on automatic speech recognition (ASR) when sufficient paired speech-text data is available, but their performance degrades in low-resource settings. A cascaded pipeline that performs speech-to-phoneme (S2P) conversion followed by phoneme-to-grapheme (P2G) conversi...
As the use of smart devices continues to increase, their potential to capture sensitive speech content raises growing privacy concerns. It is therefore critical to develop techniques that prevent information leakage while preserving the utility of the audio, and evaluation metrics that accurately quantify the level of...

These findings show that EngramEdit turns conditional memory into an editable knowledge interface, extending its role beyond model scaling to support decoupled knowledge updates.

Prompted embedding models have recently received increasing attention, particularly for retrieval, where detailed retrieval instructions are provided as part of the retrieval prompt. Several new datasets and studies have examined this setting, showing that the current embedding models often struggle to follow such inst...

Terminal-agent capability depends jointly on model weights and the runtime harness that formats prompts, binds tools, and handles error recovery. Existing harness-model co-evolution approaches improve both components, yet often treat trajectories produced during harness search as an undifferentiated replay buffer. This...

Document-level text simplification involves transformations that go beyond sentence-internal edits, addressing discourse coherence, anaphora resolution, and cross-paragraph consistency. Despite advances in sentence-level simplification for high-resource languages, document-level simplification in morphologically rich,...

Learning from large-model demonstrations offers a way to train small agents that can complete recurring tasks without calling a large model at every step. A central design choice is what to retain from teacher trajectories that contain reasoning, actions, and information about task progress. We introduce Task-Progress...
Social media is a rich source of real-time public sentiment, but widely used sentiment analysis tools are often applied without understanding their limitations. In this study, we evaluate the inter-rater reliability of three bespoke sentiment analysis tools (TextBlob, VADER, and Twitter-roBERTa-base) and three large la...

These controlled experiments establish HySPE's extrapolation robustness and numerical stability, evaluating its scaling behavior on large-scale foundation models remains an important direction for future investigation.
We present InterView-C, a German multimodal corpus of 27 survey interviews conducted entirely in virtual reality, with both interlocutors represented by avatars. The corpus aligns spoken interaction with synchronized behavioral data, including gaze, head and body movement, facial behavior, hand and finger tracking. Its...

LLM4Impact is presented, an evidence-aware method for scientific impact prediction that learns to represent, integrate, and calibrate heterogeneous information that outperforms strong semantic, graph, LLM, and temporal representations.

This series begins with hybrids of full attention and either sliding-window attention (SWA) or gated variants of linear attention (LA), represented by GLA and GDN, and finds that SWA hybrids suffer from a Short-Context Learning Trap, Short-Window Weariness, and Long-Window Laziness, and require extended windows to enha...
