CORE: Conflict-Oriented Reasoning Elimination for Verifiable Language-Model Search

Test-time reasoning systems often respond to failure by restarting or revising the latest step, even when an earlier decision caused the error. We introduce CORE, a search controller that requests a certified conflict core from a verifier, backjumps to the latest decision in that core, and caches the conflict to avoid...

A Missing Piece for Trustworthy AI Reviewers: From Benchmarking Rhetorical Robustness to SciCore Review

SciCore, a dual-branch reviewer that averages a full-manuscript judgment with a judgment based on an extracted, structured science core, achieves a leading joint stability-discrimination profile among the benchmarked reviewers while maintaining competitive human alignment.

Settle: Learning When to Stop Reasoning

Settle extends the accuracy-token-count Pareto frontier of the evaluated stopping methods and predicts whether a correct answer will remain correct in completed traces.

Fairness Beyond a Single Run: Training-Seed Variability in Speech LLM Adaptation

At 460 h of clean LibriSpeech, the seed moves fairness metrics more than compression does on most demographic axes, and a balanced 3x3 decomposition attributes 85.3% of the variation in Fair-Speech ethnicity normalized gap to the seed against 8.3% to compression.

GraphForge: Training Working Agents with Graph-Anchored Workspace Synthesis

GraphForge, an evidence-graph based framework that grounds both the task and its verification in real files, and rejects fine-tuning on the SFT model's own rollouts yields further improvements on all three benchmarks, suggesting that the rubrics provide a useful selection signal.

TRACE: Target-Aware Retrieval, Attributed Evidence, and Contract-Constrained Extraction for LitTraceQA

Finding a relevant paper is not the same as producing a verifiable answer from it. LitTraceQA requires canonical paper identifiers, exact evidence at the page or object level, and typed answers that match the evaluator. We call the separation between source access and scorer-visible correctness the grounding contract g...

Forging LLM Authorship Fingerprints with Targeted Rewriting

Model-attribution classifiers can often identify which language model produced a text, making model-specific writing patterns a signal of provenance. Accurate attribution on unmodified text, however, does not show whether the prediction still identifies the original source after deliberate rewriting. We formulate this...

MetaSteer: Context-Conditioned, nonlinear Steering via Attention-Projection Adaptation

Steering large language models typically relies on linear, context-independent interventions in activation space, an assumption that recent work has challenged and that can induce an information bottleneck when a fixed representation must encode many behavioral distinctions. We introduce MetaSteer, a method that learns...
