Rule-based reasoning, as in eligibility checks and contract reviews, requires language models to assess evidence against individual conditions and combine their judgments under explicit rules. Errors in evidence assessment can leave a decision unchanged, but misinterpreting or overlooking decision-critical evidence can...

Agent harnesses often improve language models with human-designed workflows, but as models grow more capable, unreliable guidance can increasingly constrain their execution. We call the ability to benefit from useful guidance while overriding unreliable guidance thinking outside the box. We introduce Box$^2$-Bench, whi...

We analyze how lexical ambiguity and underspecification affect language model training. We create artificial homonyms and artificial hypernyms as pseudowords and analyze the generative performance of language models as they are trained with increasing amounts of these ambiguous or underspecified pseudoword types. We fu...
Vision-language-action (VLA) models bridge multimodal understanding and robotic control, advancing the dominant paradigm for embodied intelligence. However, most existing models rely on large Transformers, whose latency and energy costs hinder deployment on resource-constrained platforms. Through sparse event-driven co...

Rechtsrock is a subgenre of rock music that spreads right-wing ideology, often instrumentalized to recruit adolescents into the radical scene. Monitoring institutions counteract this by manually examining and, in some cases, banning extremist content; however, there are border cases that evade regulation. We present a...

A common formalism for constraining the output of autoregressive text generation models involves lexical constraints, words or phrases which are required to occur in the generated text. DFA-constrained beam search and grid beam search are two widely used paradigms for decoding from autoregressive models while enforcing...
An agent that moves must recognise a place from a viewpoint it has never seen. We introduce 4MT-VLM, a dataset of procedurally generated landscapes, each rendered across five stimulus modes that remove appearance cues while holding layout fixed: shape and colour, shape only, colour only, bare terrain peaks with no obje...
Argument structure prediction (ASP) constructs complete argument structures from discourse by identifying argumentative units and their relations. While recent work has explored diverse approaches---including unified neural models, multi-step pipelines, and prompt-based large language models (LLMs)---their relative tra...

Trustworthy Legal AI requires systems that can answer legal questions while grounding their responses in authoritative sources. However, existing Vietnamese legal benchmarks provide limited coverage of real-world legal consultations. We introduce \textbf{ViLegalExpert}, a large-scale benchmark constructed from authenti...

It is argued that OPSD is a sensitive algorithm rather than a generally reliable reasoning-improvement post-training method because it produces ineffective length growth, stable degradation, or behavioral collapse.

Human intelligence relies heavily on learned intuition: recognising patterns and judging situations without explicitly unfolding every intermediate step. We introduce Bongard, an open-weight System One model that treats machine intuition as an independent capability to design and train. A T5Gemma 2 4B-4B encoder-decode...
Experiments show that the rubric-based rewards reliably distinguish legal responses of different quality and that DPO training on the preference data improves performance across all three dimensions, and Dimension-wise analyses further support the effectiveness of the proposed taxonomy and reward construction.
