ZooWork-ShopRanker: An Open, Preference-Aligned E-Commerce Reranker

Open rerankers trained for general web retrieval transfer imperfectly to e-commerce, where ranking decisions depend not only on topical relevance but also on user preferences, product constraints, and comparative product fit. These preference signals are difficult to supervise at scale: real search traffic provides aut...

Evaluating Sycophancy in Chinese Large Language Models on Factual Questions Derived from Online Search Queries

This analysis covers 364,941 responses from three frontier Chinese-based LLMs to 12,165 factual questions derived from real-world Chinese search queries, and evaluates the models with and without reasoning across baseline, belief-conditioned, and anti-sycophancy prompting, tracing matched shifts among correct, incorrec...

FAVoR: Measuring and Mitigating Author-Style Homogenization in Federated Personalized Generation

FAVoR (Federated Authorial Voice Retention), an author-style residual mechanism for federated PEFT, improves author-style retention over standard and personalized federated PEFT baselines and is supported by component ablations, external verification, and cold-start transfer.

From annotation to reasoning: Culture in language models

This work argues that literary interpretation offers a useful setting for studying cultural referencing and reuse: how texts invoke, repeat, and transform earlier expressions across historical and linguistic contexts and proposes linking evidence-centered benchmarks, evaluation that preserves scholarly disagreement, an...

Effects of Transcript Compression on LLM-based Medical Misinformation Detection in Japanese YouTube Videos

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to assess long-form medical videos, but their effectiveness may depend on whether transcripts are provided in full or compressed through summarization, retrieval, or claim screening. This study examines how such transcript compression affects LLM-based veracity classif...

Evidence-Grounded Auditing of Identification Assumptions in Climate-Policy Causal Evaluations

Difference-in-differences (DID) studies are widely used to evaluate climate policy, but assessing the evidence supporting their identification assumptions remains challenging. We introduce ARGUS, a structured language-model pipeline that audits reported evidence against an eleven-dimension assumption-implication-eviden...

I-Parakeet: Integer-Only Conformer ASR on Mobile NPU

I-Parakeet is an integer-only implementation of NVIDIA's Parakeet-CTC (0.6B parameters) that runs on a smartphone NPU without any floating-point operator or CPU fallback, and introduces a minimax-optimized Swish approximation that minimizes the maximum error of the Swish output.
