Depression has no diagnostic blood test. Language models promise tireless, consistent assessment, but can accurate raters disagree about individuals? We pre-registered 880 language-model raters, crossing 11 open models with prompting and scoring choices, and applied them to 189 interviews against the eight-item Patient...
On-Policy Distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own generations using teacher feedback. With different tokenizers, comparing teacher and student predictions requires alignment at both sequence and vocabulary levels. In this paper, we examine whether expanding this alignment coverage improves learning. Across three...

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in question answering, yet they still frequently suffer from hallucinations on knowledge-intensive tasks. Knowledge graphs (KGs) provide LLMs with structured, interpretable, and updatable factual grounding, making them a promising external knowledge sou...

It is argued that collapsing cultural competence into a single scalar incentivizes "probabilistic flattening," and that recognizing the unalignable class is a precondition for AI that respects, rather than erases, cultural divergence.

Long-term conversational memory is becoming an integral component of modern LLM systems. Proposed architectures group records by topics and events, construct hierarchies and graphs, and connect facts through causal and temporal relations. We experimentally study the interaction between two memory parameters: structural...
We introduce STRUCTURALCOST, a self-paced reading dataset of 475 participants and 40,800 observations isolating the processing cost of long-distance subject-verb dependency resolution. We replicate a low-powered psycholinguistic finding at NLP scale, namely that human reading times at the main verb increase with depend...

Penalty-framed no-valid-option MCQA reveals an aspect of model reliability not captured by standard answer-selection accuracy, and correct-conditioned analysis is introduced, evaluating abstention only on instances that the model originally answered correctly.
Extensive experiments across multiple medical question-answering benchmarks demonstrate that models fine-tuned with SAGE-synthesized data consistently outperform those trained using self-derived or conventional document-based paradigms, highlighting tangible improvements in data efficiency and resource utilization for...

Speech-LLMs often exhibit prompt overfitting, where models solely trained on automatic speech recognition (ASR) instruction fail to generalize to new instructions such as speech translation and continue to behave primarily as ASR system. We propose DirectSpeech2LLM, a simple end-to-end framework that preserves the inst...

Language models frequently generate outputs in unintended languages or scripts, a phenomenon known as off-target generation. While existing research has focused on language selection, the dimension of script knowledge remains understudied: before any linguistic understanding can occur, users must recognize the graphic...

In recent years, several methods for detecting when large language models (LLMs) hallucinate have been developed. These methods are often benchmarked with open-domain question answering (QA) datasets containing questions and corresponding short reference answers. First, an LLM is used to generate answers to questions w...

Reliable tool use requires more than triggering a mechanism or matching a query to an API description. Before selecting a specific tool, an agent must first infer the capability requirements implied by the user query. In this paper, we investigate whether these query-side capability requirements are linearly decodable...
