PRISM-VLM: A Multi-Axis Discriminative Benchmark for Compact Vision-Language Models

PRISM-VLM is introduced, a multi-axis discriminative benchmark that scores every item along seven axes covering the recurring failure modes (task quality, behavioral robustness, and capability bottlenecks) and combines them into a single PScore, with items recycled from fifteen public benchmarks.

AraGenre 2026: A Hierarchical Definition-Guided Arabic Genre Classification Shared Task

AraGenre is a shared task on hierarchical, definition-guided Arabic genre classification, motivated by the limited availability of annotated data in Arabic and other low-resource languages. Systems assign each Arabic text segment both a broad communicative genre and a fine-grained specific genre. The released training...

Cross-Lingual Legal QA for Vietnamese Labour Law: Retrieval, Translation, and Verifier-Guided Correction

A bilingual evaluation suite of 231 Vietnamese--English question--answer pairs from Vietnamese labour law is introduced, and six automatic diagnostics for faithfulness to retrieved evidence are introduced, covering citations, modality, exceptions, procedures, conclusions, and evidential support.

Planned Test-Time Scaling with Coordinated Reasoning Paths

Planned Test-Time Scaling (PTTS) provides a general framework for improving test-time scaling by coordinating reasoning branches, with zero-shot and trainable instantiations that yield substantial performance gains.

Automated Extraction of Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) Using Hybrid RAG and Locally Deployed Large Language Models

RoPA Manager, a system for automated RoPA information extraction using hybrid retrieval that combines lexical ranking over tsvector, dense-vector search, Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF), and locally deployed LLMs, is proposed.

Guides That Cause Actions: An Offline Study of Guide-Action Mutual Reinforcement in Multimodal Web Agents

Web agents are usually evaluated in live environments, where environment state and judge models drift between runs, so the same checkpoint rarely reproduces the same score, making controlled studies of training phenomena impractical. We present WebMRE, an offline benchmark of 541 tasks and 5,293 steps derived from succ...

Ruby-ASR: Evidence-Preserving Supervision for Joint Orthographic and Lexical-Reading Recognition

Ruby-ASR is presented, which refines the conventional target into a span-bound orthographic--lexical-reading sequence and shows that refining the recognition target can improve lexical-reading recovery without sacrificing readable orthographic transcription.

Can One Adapted Model Do It All? Fine-Tuning Strategy Selection for Customer Support LLMs

This work studies whether task-specialist models should be handled by separate task-specialist models or by a single model trained through multi-task training, sequential updates, or model merging, and concludes with practical guidelines for selecting fine-tuning strategies in real-world settings.

UniDataAgent: An Ontology-Grounded Agent for Enterprise Question-to-Report Automation

ChinaUnicom DataAgent (UniDataAgent) is presented, an ontology grounded system for reusable question-to-report analysis that separates semantic acquisition from online execution and has the potential to be replicated in other enterprises.

Distilling Sequential Computation in Transformer Language Models

A method for distilling sequential computation by replacing spans of input tokens with collapsed representations, computed on the fly by a lightweight merge module, allowing pretrained models to operate on compressed inputs without architectural changes or re-training.
