Towards Probabilistic Question Answering Over Tabular Data

Progress in question answering (QA) over tabular data has enabled reliable factual retrieval from relational tables. However, many real-world questions are probabilistic, requiring reasoning under uncertainty and latent conditional dependencies that are not directly stored in individual cells. We introduce LUCARIO, a l...

FullFront: Benchmarking MLLMs Across the Full Front-End Engineering Workflow

Front-end engineering involves a complex workflow where engineers conceptualize designs, translate them into code, and iteratively refine the implementation. While recent benchmarks primarily focus on converting visual designs to code, we present FullFront, a benchmark designed to evaluate Multimodal Large Language Mod...

Rethinking the Relationship between the Power Law and Hierarchical Structures

Statistical analysis of corpora provides an approach to quantitatively investigate natural languages. This approach has revealed that several power laws consistently emerge across different corpora and languages, suggesting universal mechanisms underlying languages. In particular, the power-law decay of correlations ha...

Three tiers of computation in transformers and in brain architectures

Human language and logic abilities are computationally quantified within the well-studied grammar-automata hierarchy. We identify three hierarchical tiers and two corresponding transitions and show their correspondence to specific abilities in transformer-based language models (LMs). These emergent abilities have often...

TSCheater: Generating High-Quality Tibetan Adversarial Texts via Visual Similarity

Language models based on deep neural networks are vulnerable to textual adversarial attacks. While rich-resource languages like English are receiving focused attention, Tibetan, a cross-border language, is gradually being studied due to its abundant ancient literature and critical language strategy. Currently, there ar...

INMS: Memory Sharing for Large Language Model based Agents

While Large Language Model (LLM) based agents excel at complex tasks, their performance in open-ended scenarios is often constrained by isolated operation and reliance on static databases, missing the dynamic knowledge exchange of human dialogue. To bridge this gap, we propose the INteractive Memory Sharing (INMS) fram...

COMPASS 2.0: psychometric representational similarity analysis distinguishes symptom structure from personal signal

Language models can score psychiatric questionnaires from speech, but agreement with self-report may reflect the questionnaire rather than the person. We introduce psychometric representational similarity analysis, a framework for comparing the structure of speech-derived scores, self-report, item wording and theory, a...

Synthetic Cultural Agents from Aggregate Anchors

Population prompts are widely used to generate synthetic survey responses, but they combine information supplied at inference with associations already encoded during pretraining. We introduce an alternative construction that maps declared aggregate preference anchors into group-indexed choice policies. For each popula...

DP-ES: Differentially Private Evolution Strategies for Prompt Optimization

Token-level differentially private (DP) prompt optimization methods such as DP-OPT can become unstable under tight privacy budgets: on GSM8K, DP-OPT obtains $49.5\pm28.5\%$ across 30 runs, and a logged search trajectory reveals prompt-template drift and noise-sensitive irreversible choices. We diagnose these as structu...

Efficient Test-time Adaptation through Candidate Verification and Divergence Shifts

This paper proposes Test-Time Correction (TTC), a hypothesis-based correction framework guided by a simple principle: hypothesize, reconstruct, correct, that consistently improves accuracy over state-of-the-art VLM-TTA methods while achieving up to 2x speedup, over 3x lower CPU memory usage, and up to 1.4x lower GPU me...

VHDL-REPOBENCH: A Repository-Level Benchmark for Evaluating Large Language Models on VHDL Design Generation

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly applied in hardware design automation, demonstrating strong potential in generating and understanding hardware description languages. However, most existing benchmarks focus on Verilog, with limited evaluation of VHDL, which remains widely used in industry and academia for...

templar: agentic induction and evolution of standardized radiology reporting templates from large-scale clinical corpora

Structured radiology reporting mitigates the heterogeneity of free-text reports, yet its benefits depend on high-quality reporting templates. In practice, such templates are conventionally built through labor-intensive expert consensus and therefore vary across institutions and lag behind evolving clinical practice. La...
