SEDIMA: Cross-Run Hierarchical Insight Memory for Evolutionary Search Agents

SEDIMA is introduced, a persistent hierarchical insight memory for evolutionary search agents that distills raw traces into natural-language insights, clusters them by semantic similarity using attention-weighted centroids, and retrieves relevant guidance to condition future mutations, accumulating transferable knowled...

Language Models that Play Chess and Explain Their Moves

Modern chess engines are silent experts: they play at a superhuman level, but do not offer explanations for their play. On the other hand, language models (LMs) can generate plausible-sounding explanations, but their weak playing strength limits the utility of their explanations. We introduce Queen, a 4B-parameter ches...

Writerslogic at the CLEF 2026 SimpleText Track: Multi-Candidate LLM Simplification and Stacked Complexity Spotting

We describe the Writerslogic team's participation in the CLEF 2026 SimpleText shared task, addressing Task 1 (text simplification) and Task 2 (complexity spotting). For Task 1, we develop a multi-candidate generation pipeline using GPT-4o-mini that produces five simplification candidates per sentence at varying tempera...

Writerslogic at PAN 2026: Process over Content for Robust Detection under Domain Shift

We describe the Writerslogic systems for three PAN at CLEF 2026 shared tasks (Reasoning Trajectory Detection, Voight-Kampff Generative AI Detection, and Multi-Author Writing Style Analysis), unified by a shared analytical framework: feature robustness under distribution shift is governed by support overlap between trai...

Author Representation Strategies for Zero-Shot Authorship Attribution: A Comparative Study of LLM-Based and Embedding-Based Approaches

Authorship Attribution (AA) requires capturing fine-grained stylistic characteristics, making it particularly challenging in zero-shot (ZS) settings where no task-specific supervision is available. In this work, we investigate the effect of author representations on ZS AA by evaluating a label-only prompting baseline t...

Structured Composition of Verifiable Atomic Insights for Table-to-Report Generation

Table-to-report generation refers to the task of automatically generating article-level analyt- ical reports from relational tables and is an essential capability for automated data science and decision support. Its central challenge lies in systematically discovering verifiable com- posite insights across tables, attr...

Learning from Repaired Reasoning: Root-Cause-Guided On-Policy Distillation

On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) uses reference solutions as privileged hindsight to supervise student-generated reasoning trajectories. However, reference-based guidance may explain a correct solution without addressing why the student's own reasoning fails. This reasoning mismatch between the guidance provided and...

Single-Pass Uncertainty Heads for Claim-Level Hallucination Detection in Persian Medical Language Models

Hallucination detection is particularly important for medical language models, but repeated-sampling approaches are computationally expensive. A faster alternative is a single-pass uncertainty head that predicts hallucination risk from a frozen generator's internal signals. Existing uncertainty heads consume backbone-s...

CLIMB: Confidence-Guided Complementary Evidence for Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong visual reasoning abilities, but knowledge-intensive visual question answering often requires external textual evidence beyond the image and the model's parametric knowledge. Existing multimodal RAG systems commonly rely on Top-$K$ retrieval or reranking, which...

To Jev or Not? Evaluating the Accuracy and Efficiency of Structured Decision Models for Hate-Speech Moderation

The scale of online content makes hate-speech moderation challenging, while Large Language Models (LLMs) enable harmful material to be produced and adapted more easily. Moderation therefore requires efficient classifiers that can accommodate different definitions of hate speech. Recent structured decision models accept...

Shrome at Touch\'e: Soft-Vote Ensembling and Counter-Causal Augmentation for Causality Extraction

Touch\'e 2026 extends causality extraction to counter-causal claims: news sentences whose surface form appears causal but whose meaning denies the causation, as in "It is falsely believed that X caused Y." A system that relies on surface cues such as "caused" or "led to" will accept such a sentence as causal and give i...

Collective Bias Mitigation via Model Routing and Collaboration

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in public health, finance, and governance, requiring both accuracy and societal value alignment. Despite recent advances, LLMs often perpetuate or amplify bias embedded in their training data, posing challenges to fairness. While self-debiasing encourages an LLM to...
