Operator Packages, Proposer Strength, and Construction-Family Plateaus in Office-Scale Verified Search

Verified search, in which a language model proposes programs, a hard evaluator scores them, and selection keeps the best, has recently moved mathematical records; controlled ablations of the proposer-side components remain rare. We instrument a minimal FunSearch-style loop at office scale (a 30B local model on a laptop...

TTLab at AlexandriaX-2026: A Fine-Tuned Surface Tagger for Arabic Machine-Translation Error-Span Detection and Classification

While TTLab's system localizes error spans effectively, classification of rare error types remains challenging, highlighting the need for data augmentation for tail categories.

An Exploratory Ablation of a Small MLA--SSM Hybrid Language Model

An exploratory, single-seed ablation of TALH (Adaptive Latent Hybrid), a decoder-only language model with parallel Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and a custom recurrent state-space (SSM) branch supports implementation-specific hypotheses rather than general conclusions about MLA, SSMs, or mixture-of-experts models.

PROOF: Profiling Reliability of Object-Level Facts in Large Language Models

This work introduces PROOF, a profile-oriented benchmark for factual coverage in instruction-tuned language models, and measures factual coverage as a structured, intervention-aware profile rather than a single claim about what a model believes.

Who Put the I in AI? Provenance and the Admissibility of Machine Self-Report

This paper examines Pythia and OLMo 2 across 66 pretraining checkpoints, three of the post-training stages of OLMo 2 that have been released, about 90,000 continuations, and four training corpora, and traces the provenance from end to end to show exactly where such descriptions came from.

IterSynth: Rethinking Deep Search Agents via Role-Decoupled Iterative Synthesis

Deep search requires LLM agents to decompose complex queries, search for evidence, and synthesize grounded answers, yet existing ReAct-style agents suffer from two limitations: role coupling, where one policy must handle planning, evidence use, and synthesis; and context accumulation, where growing search histories int...

Rufus-Air: An Open LLM Post-Training Recipe

The main findings are that diverse, high-quality SFT establishes a strong capability floor and difficulty filtering keeps RL prompts within a productive learning range, and reward reliability provides a practical principle for ordering stages.

From Policy Documents to Structured Survey Responses: Evaluating Large Language Models for Policy Monitoring

Science, technology, and innovation policies are crucial for competitiveness, yet their diversity and scale make them difficult to map and monitor consistently. Existing approaches rely heavily on manual survey efforts, which are costly and challenging to scale across countries. Large language models (LLMs) enable new...

Reasoning Instructions Can Break Answer Decoding in Vision-Language Models

Chain-of-thought (CoT) instructions can distort multiple-choice VLM evaluation when a scorer appends a reasoning cue but reads answer-label logits before the model generates any rationale. We call this CoT-prefix scoring. On ScienceQA, Qwen2.5-VL-7B drops from 80.76% to 45.48%, and across five option-content permutatio...
