Text Scores Do Not Establish Performance on Lexically Non-Diagnostic Speech Tasks: A Qwen2-Audio Quantization Case Study

Text-output scores alone do not show whether quantization preserves performance on speech tasks whose target labels cannot be recovered from the transcript. We evaluate fixed mixed 4/8-bit Qwen2-Audio-7B-Instruct allocations averaging 6 and 7 bits per parameter on 508 English-to-German FLEURS utterances and on 512 RAVD...

Cross-Scale Transfer Learning for Depression Severity Prediction: From PHQ-8 to HAMD-17 Across Languages and Clinical Paradigms

A sequential low-rank adaptation protocol for cross-scale transfer that attains the best point-estimate MAE, RMSE, and macro-$F_1$ on both 0.6B and 1.7B backbones, outperforming target-only training and non-LLM baselines.

Digital diglossia: Arabic between X and Facebook

The study concludes that the diglossic use of SA and CA contributes to the growing body of research on digital discourse, unveiling that the digital age reshapes but does not erode diglossic boundaries, giving rise instead to a reconfigured digital diglossia.

Towards Efficient Reasoning: Learning Causal Shortcuts for Diffusion Language Models

This work introduces a step-by-step token extraction procedure to extract causal shortcuts from data, and applies parallel prioritized masking on these tokens during training to enable efficient and accurate convergence to correct answers via causal shortcuts.

Complementary Roles of Activation and Parametric Memory in Few-Shot Learning

At test time, large language models (LLMs) can encode historical information in activation memory (i.e., KV caches) and parametric memory (i.e., updated parameters). While activation memory is generally considered effective for factual recall and parametric memory for learning new tasks, their interplay remains unclear...

Beyond Poetry: Can Large Language Models Generate Classical Arabic Maqamat?

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance in creative text generation, yet their ability to produce culturally grounded and stylistically constrained literary forms remains underexplored. Prior work has focused largely on modern language varieties and poetry, while classical prose traditions such as ma...

Exact Feedback Is Not Control: Evaluating Text-based Closed-Loop Revision in LLMs

Closed-loop revision is increasingly used in large language model (LLM) applications, but failures may reflect incomplete feedback or ineffective responses to correct feedback. We introduce a fixed-budget revision protocol with deterministic verifiers that report all remaining violations across exact-length, lexical, a...

Reference-Based Analysis of Coherence and Diversity in Open-Ended Text Generation

A reference-based framework for examining coherence and diversity through three perspectives is presented: aligning their evolution with human trajectories, comparing their summaries with a human continuation of the same prompt, and estimating their likelihood under a human reference distribution.
