Agentic schema-guided extraction of materials process knowledge from scientific literature

Materials literature contains detailed experimental knowledge, but procedures, chemical entities and measurements remain difficult to aggregate because they are reported in heterogeneous forms and depend on process-specific context. We present SciKGExtract, a schema-guided framework that combines large-language-model e...

DialectSentEval 2026: Arabic Dialect Sentiment Analysis and Swapping Shared Task

Sentiment analysis is a fundamental problem in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Standard sentiment classification for the Arabic language remains challenging due to the high volume of dialectal Arabic. To advance research in this area, this paper proposes the Shared Task on Sentiment Analysis and Swapping in Arabic D...

Cross-lingual Calibration of Pre-Generation Success Probes for Multilingual LLM Routing

Pre-generation success probes estimate response correctness from a language model's hidden activations before decoding, enabling cost-aware routing. While prior work has demonstrated their utility primarily on English inputs, we study their reliability across languages along three dimensions: (1) whether they preserve...

Anosognosia in LLMs: Probing Self-Awareness of Quantized Computational Substrate

Can LLMs recognize degradation in their own computational substrate? Inspired by anosognosia, a neurological condition in which patients fail to recognize impairments in their own abilities, we investigate whether LLMs can recognize degradation in their computational substrate induced by quantization. We first show tha...

Cross-Lingual Transferability of Training Data Extraction Attacks to Recover Memorized PII

The robustness of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) protection in Large Language Models (LLMs) is a critical concern, yet the risks associated with cross-lingual data extraction remain under-explored. This study evaluates the vulnerability of English-centric and multilingual models to Training Data Extraction (...

Attention Tax, Handoff Tax: A Stylised Model of When Multi-Agent LLM Systems Help

Recent work on multi-agent LLM systems reaches sharply different conclusions: some results show that a single agent with the same information and compute should dominate a delegated system, others that multi-agent gains grow with task depth. We argue that much of the disagreement comes from modelling different bottlene...

ROT: Rotating Hidden States towards Contextual Vectors for Hallucination Mitigation in LVLMs

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) frequently suffer from object hallucination. Existing training-free interventions primarily manipulate attention weights, which indirectly affect the deep semantics reaching the final predictive layers. In this work, we shift our focus to the hidden state vectors extracted after sel...

Backdooring Sparse Autoencoders

Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are increasingly used not only to interpret language models but also to intervene on their internal representations. We show that this creates a supply-chain attack surface: a maliciously modified SAE can induce attacker-chosen behavior when inserted into the forward pass of an otherwise unch...

LightMTP: Lightweight Latent Multi-Token Prediction

Next-token prediction (NTP) is the standard pretraining objective for large language models, yet it provides an explicit training signal only for the immediate next token, which can lead models to exploit local patterns instead of capturing longer-range structure and ideas. Multi-token prediction (MTP) addresses this b...

Investigating Query-Insensitive Behavior in Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding

Spatio-temporal video grounding (STVG) aims to localize objects or events described by natural language queries in both space and time. Existing STVG models are typically trained and evaluated under the assumption that each query is relevant to the input video. In this work, we challenge this assumption by studying the...

HuatuoGPT-3: RL-Only Domain Adaptation from Base Models

One-stage Policy Optimization (OnePO), which treats teacher outputs as transient guidance for policy improvement, is proposed, which combines Adaptive Objective Evolution to strengthen learning on informative low-probability teacher tokens and Teacher Retirement to discard teacher outputs once the current policy can su...
