Intent2Tc: Automated Intent-to-Traffic Control Translation with Language Models

Intent2Tc is presented, a closed-loop language-model-driven framework that translates business-level traffic-shaping intents into declarative sub-intents and subsequently into validated, executable Linux traffic control (tc) configurations and demonstrates the practical applicability of the proposed framework.

MoSAR: Mixture of Semantic Attention Regimes for Learning Adaptive and Approximable Attention Geometries

Mixture of Semantic Attention Regimes (MoSAR) is introduced, which learns such an adaptive, controlled-decay geometry over query--key interactions, suggesting that it is not only adaptive, but also amenable to low-cost approximation at inference time.

Improving Visual Sensitivity of LLMs on Multimodal Machine Translation with Metric-based Loss Weighting

Multimodal Machine Translation aims to incorporate additional signal from non-textual modalities to improve translations by resolving ambiguities. While models, through multimodal fusion, are able to accept images related to the source text, they can ignore this information. Therefore, increasing their visual sensitivi...

JevAdvBench: A Benchmark and Black-Box Attacks for Reinforcement Learning for Calibrated Decisions Models

JevAdvBench is introduced, to the authors' knowledge the first adversarial benchmark for RLCD models, with 812 typed questions over 66 scenarios, and a black-box attack suite of 9,744 single-edit variants that each edit one part of a request, with billed input tokens confirming that the edit reached the model.

G$^2$PTQ: Improving LLM Post-Training Quantization with Generalized Gradient Compensation

G$^2$PTQ is presented, a unified PTQ framework with Generalized Gradient Compensation that integrates both first- and second-order information under a globally supervised, block-wise optimization objective and enables better alignment with the full-precision model, outperforming state-of-the-art baselines.

Does Uniform Discrete Diffusion Need Time?

It is shown that the population-optimal UDM predictor generally depends on time: time controls how much the model should trust the observed context, and this dependence can become negligible in finite-data settings relevant to language.

Estimating and Orthogonalizing Unknown Pre-training Gradients for Continual Fine-tuning of Large Language Models

EoupCT effectively preserves both task-specific proficiency and inherent general-purpose knowledge, successfully mitigating the catastrophic forgetting, and forms a multi-objective optimization problem and introduces a first-order efficient Pareto optimizer.

Words Speak Louder Than Order: A Behavioral Evaluation of Gemma 4

When a language model receives two conflicting documents as input, how does it decide which one to prioritize? Does it rely on how the sources are framed or the presentation order of the documents? We evaluated this behavior on Google's pre-trained Gemma 4-e4b model across a targeted behavioral suite (n = 13 items, 784...

The Hard Part Comes After Search: Benchmarking Web Agents on Synthesizing, Organizing, and Displaying Knowledge

Existing computer-use agent benchmarks do not fully evaluate agents acting as assistants. A useful assistant retrieves information across complex, multi-step workflows, synthesizes it into artifacts (documents, presentations, spreadsheets), and navigates program interfaces to produce a coherent final product. Such work...
