Do not be greedy, Think Twice: Sampling and Selection for Document-level Information Extraction

Document-level Information Extraction (DocIE) aims to produce an output template with the entities, relations, and events of interest occurring in the given document. Standard practices include prompting decoder-only LLMs using greedy decoding to avoid output variability. Rather than treating this variability as a limi...

Calibration Is Not Enough: Evaluating Confidence Estimation Under Language Variations

Confidence estimation (CE) indicates how reliable the answers of large language models are and impacts user trust and decision-making. Existing evaluations mainly concern the alignment between confidence and correctness, but ignore the variability of language: confidence estimates should remain consistent under semanti...

Interactive In-Meeting Speaker Correction with Human Feedback

Most automatic speech processing systems operate in ``open loop'' mode without user feedback about who said what, yet human-in-the-loop workflows can potentially enable higher accuracy. We propose an LLM-assisted in-meeting speaker correction system that lets users fix speaker attribution errors through brief correctiv...

Language Specific Knowledge: Do Models Know Better in X than in English?

Often, multilingual language models are trained with the objective to map semantically similar content (in different languages) in the same latent space. In this paper, we show a nuance in this training objective, and find that by changing the language of the input query, we can improve the question answering ability o...

Evaluation of OpenAI o1: Opportunities and Challenges of AGI

This comprehensive study evaluates the performance of OpenAI's o1-preview large language model across a diverse array of complex reasoning tasks, spanning multiple domains, including computer science, mathematics, natural sciences, medicine, linguistics, and social sciences. Through rigorous testing, o1-preview demonst...

Multimodal Thinking with Renderable Programs

This work introduces SVGLM, a framework that uses scalable vector graphics (SVG) primitives to connect text and image in reasoning tasks, and exploits the duality of SVG as both image description and text instructions, yielding a more compact, interpretable solution to equip general VLMs with the capability of generati...

STRAND: Benchmarking and Improving Object-Centric Spatio-Temporal Monitoring in Video Large Language Models

STRAND is introduced, a benchmark of human-verified object-centric facts that evaluates intermediate reasoning by decomposing queries into sub-questions, distinguishing genuine temporal understanding from coincidental correctness and an object-centric framework that explicitly constructs and reasons over structured obj...

Free the Language Model From the Vision Encoder: Semantic Serialization as a Perception Interface for Small Language Models

An embodied scene question-answering (QA) interface in which vision never enters the language model is studied, showing the gain survives paraphrase, attributing it to decision-aligned computation rather than answer-string leakage, while novel judgment vocabularies bound its scope.

CodeGraph: Open-Taxonomy Knowledge Graph for Source Code with Wikidata Grounding

A pipeline for building an open-taxonomy semantic annotation of source code using a code-specialised Large Language Model, and a calibrated quality-assurance protocol that quantifies annotation precision by combining a small human gold set with an LLM-as-a-judge filter are presented.

Accent Analogy Guidance: More Speaker Similarity at Equal Accent in Cross-Lingual Voice Cloning

This work proposes accent analogy guidance (AAG), a training-free sampler term that subtracts an accent direction estimated from the model's own predictions for one synthetic voice rendered in both languages, so the voice cancels and only the accent remains.

Learning New Words from Unlabeled Test Data in Automatic Speech Recognition

It is demonstrated that the CTC-weighted language model log likelihood ratio can be interpreted as the KLD between the unknown correct ASR and the unsupervised learned ASR, and that, using a Pinsker bound, the square root of KLD can be interpreted as an upper bound on the total variation distance between the true and e...
