How Causality Bridges the Semantic Gap

Numerical measurements capture how a system behaves, but often leave the meanings of its variables unspecified. Some variables are measured but never labeled, and others are never measured at all. Existing methods assign semantics to such variables by consulting general human knowledge, but this inherits its biases whe...

From Retrieval to Typed Decisions: Calibrated System One Models from Biomedical Sentence Encoders

Typed decision models answer schema-constrained questions about a text in one forward pass and return probabilities meant to be thresholded. We ask whether biomedical sentence encoders trained for retrieval are good starting points for such models. We present SBERT2S1, which converts Sentence-Transformers encoders into...

APDMem: Agent-Controlled Progressive Disclosure for Query-Adaptive Long-Term Memory

Personalized LLM assistants must recover sparse evidence from long conversation histories across queries of varying complexity. We introduce APDMem (Agent-controlled Progressive Disclosure Memory), a hierarchical long-term memory architecture that applies progressive disclosure to memory retrieval. Rather than relying...

FinDialogLens: Event Extraction over Multi-Party Dialogue for Missed-Trade Identification in Financial Chatrooms

Multi-party financial chatrooms are vital for sales-and-trading professionals, but their complexity makes manual recovery of missed trades infeasible: each Request for Quote (RFQ) is an event whose final price and trade outcome appear many messages after the RFQ-trigger message (the inquiry message), interleaved with c...

Counterexample Generation via Per-Theorem Symbolic Verifiers: When Imitation Hurts and Reinforcement Repairs

Large language models often solve a theorem forward yet fail to disprove a closely related false one: a falsification gap that supervised fine-tuning does not close and can actively worsen. We frame counterexample generation as constrained witness emission against a deterministic per-theorem Python verifier, and releas...

Are you Synthesizing or Recalling? Evaluating LLMs on Algorithmic Code Retrieval

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance in code generation, where success depends on both recalling relevant algorithmic knowledge and reasoning about how to apply it. However, existing LLM pipelines are opaque, with no explicit separation between these two components. We argue that for well-k...

Lexicographic Multi-Objective On-Policy Distillation

Reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR) usually optimizes answer correctness, yet useful language-model behavior also requires high-quality reasoning and concise responses. Existing multi-reward post-training methods typically scalarize rewards or combine specialists without explicitly protecting a reward...

IntentCoding: Amplifying User Intent in Code Generation

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown strong capabilities in code generation, but their adherence to fine-grained user intent with multiple constraints remains a significant challenge. Our empirical analysis reveals two key observations: 1) Model performance deteriorates quickly as the number of constraints in the us...

A Near-Zero Monitor Readout Is Not Evidence of Behavioral Control

Post-training with verifiable rewards can induce reward hacking, motivating the use of monitors within the training objective rather than solely for offline auditing. We show that a low monitor readout does not identify whether such an intervention controls behavior. In a code-generation environment whose dominant expl...

Benchmarking Candidate Coverage in Typed Decision Models

Typed decision models return choices or distributions over answer options supplied at request time. Accuracy with complete options does not establish whether a model recognizes that a reference answer is missing or avoids rejecting valid candidates. We present a paired candidate-coverage benchmark protocol and an initi...

Multilingual GSM-Symbolic: What determines capability transfer across languages?

We understand little about how capabilities acquired in one language carry over to another, or what governs this transfer: evaluations rely on incomparable, saturation-prone datasets and rarely examine its determinants jointly. Identifying what predicts transfer would let us avoid exhaustive evaluation across all langu...

KV$^2$: A Self-Refining KV Cache

The memory footprint of the key-value (KV) cache constrains the practical use of long-context models, and it dominates cost when one prefilled context must later serve many different queries. In this reusable setting, query-agnostic compression trades cost against quality: lightweight estimators are cheap but less accu...
