Ready2Blend: From Natural-Language Instructions to Composable Alignment Prompts

Continual alignment requires LLMs to adapt to new requirements without forgetting previously acquired behaviors. Natural-language instructions are flexible and composable but offer only indirect control, whereas post-training provides stronger adaptation at the cost of repeated parameter updates. We introduce Ready2Ble...

Working Around the Compute Ceiling: Byte-Exact Memory in Galahad Makes LLM Reading a One-Time Cost LLM Reading a One-Time Cost

A transformer language model performs a bounded amount of computation per token, and recent work by Vishal Sikka, former CEO of Infosys, argues that this bound limits which tasks a model can carry out or verify (arXiv:2507.07505). We ask how much of the budget beneath that ceiling is spent on work the model has already...

NarrativeSteward: Coordinating Delegation, Guidance, and Verification in Agent-Assisted Interactive Narrative Authoring

Qualitative findings show how reviewing the work and feedback helps authors develop requirements and guide subsequent delegation and NarrativeSteward supported easier formulation of revision requests and inspection of changes, than general-purpose agents.

RAIM: Robust Aggregation of Inexpensive Models for Hallucination Detection

RAIM is proposed, an aggregation scheme robust to the members'correlated errors, coupling a cross-fitted stacked logistic regression with an admissibility test that, read from the members' outputs, identifies when aggregating them improves on their best member and stays within reach of the frontier judge.

DAGent: Evaluate-then-Grow Planning for Deep Research Agents

Deep research tasks require agents to navigate large knowledge spaces, synthesize evidence across many sources, and adapt their plans as findings emerge. Directed acyclic graph (DAG)-based multi-agent systems suit this setting because they support parallel execution and isolate each sub-task within a focused dependency...

False Frontiers: Diagnosing and Mitigating Co-Cheating in Self-Evolving Search Agents

Self-evolving search agents build their own training curricula by jointly optimizing a proposer that generates questions and a solver that answers them. This closed loop introduces a failure mode we call co-cheating: the proposer and solver increasingly agree on shared errors, so internal reward improves without a matc...

Beyond Text: LLM-Based Dimensional Emotion Evaluation in Multimodal Dialogue

Emotion recognition in conversation has been widely studied, but applying Large Language Models (LLMs) to continuous dimensional emotion evaluation in multimodal dialogue remains largely unexplored. We propose an LLM-based framework that performs discrete emotion recognition and Valence-Arousal-Dominance (VAD) dimensio...

Structure vs. Chain-of-Thought: Evaluating LLM Criteria Extraction for Depression Severity

A large language model (LLM) can rate depression severity directly from a social media post, or mark which clinical criteria the post shows and let a simple rule turn the count into a label. The latter is easier to audit because a clinician can check each marked criterion. We compare these approaches on two Reddit corp...

Switching Linear Attention

Designing expressive sequence layers with efficient inference remains a central challenge in modern machine learning. Standard softmax attention achieves excellent sequence modeling performance through rich nonlinear token interactions, but it requires a key-value cache that grows linearly with sequence length, limitin...

The Invisible Language Tax: Token Premiums of French and Regional Languages in 2026 LLM Tokenizers, and a French-Optimized Prototype

LLM services are billed per token and context windows are measured in tokens, yet the number of tokens needed for the same content varies across languages. We measure this token premium on seven tokenizers of widely used 2026 models (OpenAI o200k, Llama 3, Qwen3, DeepSeek V3/V4, Gemma 3, Mistral Tekken, and the Claude...

Making LLMs Say What They Think: Measuring and Improving CoT-Interpretability Alignment

Chain-of-thought (CoT) traces often serve as a proxy for how Large Language Models (LLMs) arrive at their answers. However, growing evidence shows that models'CoT often fails to reflect their internal computations and can be changed without affecting their final answers. In this work, we measure and improve the alignme...
