Quantifying language distance among closely related languages remains a core challenge in quantitative linguistics. Our previous work [1] introduced QuanLing (Quantitative Linguistics via Pretrained Language Models), a quantitative framework combining language distance metrics (sentence embedding distance, tokenization...
Identifying suicide risk from social networking services (SNS) posts is important for detecting suicide-related signals in online environments. However, risk classification alone provides limited insight into the textual evidence and psychosocial factors behind a prediction. Based on the IEEE BigData 2026 Explainable S...

Large language models (LLMs) often abandon a correct answer, or endorse a user's position, once the user pushes back. This behavior, called sycophancy, is usually reported as a single rate per model, which says little about when it happens or how a user can avoid it. We study the conditions that produce it with 103,939...

The spread of fake news may cause severe social consequences. Existing fake news detection methods mainly focus on stylistic variations or incorporate external information such as explanations. However, news articles are often rewritten under different emotional backgrounds while preserving their underlying factual cla...

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems often underperform for children and non-native speakers, while adapting adult ASR models to child speech can cause adult-speech forgetting. We study child ASR adaptation with adult retention across Arabic and English. We compare full fine-tuning, LoRA, and post-hoc weight-spac...
Spatio-temporal forecasting is a cornerstone of logistics, urban planning, and intelligent transportation systems. However, constrained by deployment costs and maintenance resources, sensor networks often lack comprehensive spatial coverage, rendering Forecast Unobserved Node States (FUNS) a critical yet formidable cha...

Tokka-Bench is introduced, an open-source framework that evaluates tokenizers on five complementary metrics -- bytes per token, unique token coverage, subword fertility, word-split rate, and vocabulary composition -- across 100 natural languages and 20 programming languages, using language-aware segmentation adapted to...
Many of the questions now put to large language models have no correct answer to score against: what a policy is worth, which option a user should choose, how to weigh competing values. Stated-preference economics has faced this problem for decades. It judges survey responses without knowing the true value, through a f...
Much knowledge work produces new deliverables from files a workspace already holds, and LLM agents are beginning to take such work over. Through direct corpus interaction, an agent can search and read any of those files from a terminal with no indexing, and producing a deliverable from many of them in this way is what...

These findings show that explicitly prompted untruthful response policies can produce robust group-level differences in test-time reasoning-token use, and are a proof of concept that reasoning-token count can serve as a simple, content-independent black-box candidate signal for differentiating untruthful from truthful...

Joint spatial-geometric and analytic function reasoning requires translating a perceived spatial configuration into a symbolic function whose executed curve satisfies geometric constraints. We present GAGR-Lab, a framework for measuring this capability through Cartesian game scenes, explicit function semantics, and aut...
SkillSandbox is proposed, a framework that dynamically synthesizes a task and its environment for each skill that are skill-relevant yet novel that yields the strongest downstream performance and improved execution efficiency across ALFWorld and WebShop with three models.
