BaatCheet: A Multilingual Corpus for Dialogue Translation in Indian Languages

BatCheet is introduced, a multilingual dialogue corpus named after the Hindi term for conversation or chitchat, containing approximately 49,000 dialogues for dialogue translation across five translation directions and fine-tuning five open-source LLMs yields substantial gains over zero- and few-shot baselines.

Calibration, Not Answer Selection: Distilling Internal Confidence in Reasoning Models

Reinforcement learning with binary correctness rewards trains correctness, not calibrated confidence. The confidence that reasoning models verbalize is systematically overconfident, and the problem is not merely one of scale: verbalized confidence tracks how willing a model is to commit to an answer, not how likely the...

Beyond Memory Construction: Rethinking Memory Access for LLM-based Conversational Agents

This work proposes Threader, a memory system that shifts the focus from memory construction to efficient, structure-aware access over raw interactions, and preserves them as first-class memory, organizes them into topic-coherent segments via lightweight incremental segmentation, and enables accurate retrieval through m...

CoLMbo-SV: A Grounded Language Model for Explainable Speaker Verification

CoLMbo-SV, a speaker language model that combines strong speaker discrimination with structured, acoustically grounded comparison reports, substantially advance audio-language speaker verification, bring its accuracy toward that of dedicated speaker encoders while adding checkable acoustic reporting, and establish an e...

Turning Speech Language Models into Multilingual Listeners

MULTISPEECHQA, a large-scale, synthetically generated and human-verified dataset comprising 9200 hours of 10.8 million spoken question-answer pairs in 23 typologically diverse languages, is presented and shows that high-quality synthetic datasets offer a cheap solution to improving the multilingual capabilities of SLMs...

Where Do Test-Time Scaling and Training Fall Short in Individual Stance Prediction?

Test-time scaling and post-training have improved LLM performance in coding and mathematical reasoning, but their effectiveness for individual stance prediction remains unclear. We study this question by predicting a person's stance in a new discussion from their history. We evaluate widely used test-time scaling strat...

Generalization Dynamics of LM Pre-training

This suite provides a new efficient lens on generalization: select intermediate pre-training checkpoints that strongly generalize reasoning and alignment, better than the final pre- or mid-training checkpoints, and select pre-training data that controls and stabilizes generalization dynamics.

Knowing Is Not Choosing: What Explicit Verification Adds Beyond Generative Preference

This work separate factual recall into three steps: generating a correct candidate, ranking the available candidates, and selecting the final answer, and shows that these capabilities do not collapse into a single notion of ``knowing''.

Classifying Dominant Temporal Orientation without Pretrained Text Embeddings: A Novel Morphosyntactic Inventory Vector Approach

This work proposes an alternative approach for identifying a sentence's past, present, or future global reference interval by encoding sentences using fixed-length inventory vectors that are comprised of part-of-speech counts, dependency relation counts, and explicit futurate pattern counts.

Pinned and Still Unstable: Within-Judge Verdict Variance and the Noise Floor of LLM-as-Judge Leaderboards

This work shows that LLM-as-Judge is operationalized on cloud serving infrastructure, not of any particular model family, and proposes a minimal, low-cost reporting protocol: several judge re-runs, published stability profiles and adjacency intervals, and results under at least two judges from different families.

Linger and Lose: Knowledge Collapse in Low-Bit Language Models

This work measures knowledge capacity, the factual bits stored per parameter, on synthetic biographies with known information content and suggests judging low-precision training by retained capacity during training rather than final loss.
