In LLM-based speech translation, transcription-based chain-of-thought (CoT) suffers from a mismatch between reference transcripts used in supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and model-generated transcripts at inference. To address this, we propose joint recognition and translation fine-tuning via group relative policy optimiz...
It is argued that each NLP subfield should pair its main performance metric with a calibration score and call for treating calibration as an essential property of every model rather than a niche topic.

While Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has improved the capability of language models, directly applying it to Spoken Language Models (SLMs) may introduce long silent intervals under the serial"think-then-speak"paradigm, disrupting real-time spoken interaction. To address this issue, we propose an asynchronous think-al...

A key factor in deciding whether to trust an automatic prediction is its confidence score, which should be calibrated to match the actual probability of the prediction being correct. Most confidence calibration metrics target binary or multi-class tasks, while multi-label calibration remains largely underexplored. Mult...

This work constructs a hierarchical cognitive safety structure, which motivates the development of a novel, high-quality scene safety understanding dataset based on multi-step reasoning with process labels, and introduces a modular and flexible process supervision framework that reflects the hierarchical nature of huma...

This extension to GROBID, a modular font-stream parser running on CPU, is the de-facto standard for structuring scientific articles and underpins several of the largest open scholarly corpora and has the best paragraph precision on both corpora, the best section detection on Materials Science, and a character error rat...

On an 80B-A3B MoE model, HySparse2 outperforms HySparse and Hybrid SWA on long-context retrieval and multi-turn agentic tasks, while substantially reducing prefill computation and KV-cache storage.
Political discourse is widely perceived to be growing more hostile, yet robust evidence remains scarce. This study examines blame attribution in the Danish Parliament from 1997 to 2026, combining a purpose-built classifier, BlameBERT (F1: 0.80), with multilevel statistical modeling. The classifier is constructed using...

Argument Mining (AM) transforms natural language into its underlying argument structures. This transformation is typically realized through a sequence of AM tasks that form an end-to-end AM pipeline. However, AM approaches often differ in how they conceptualize these tasks, making direct comparisons between them diffic...

This work presents the task and results of the CHiME-9 challenge for Enhancing Conversations to address Hearing Impairment. The challenge considers the scenario of four-party conversations in a noisy, cafeteria-style environment with interfering speech sources and sound effects. Participants are provided with audio rec...

PACE-dLLM is proposed, which fits this parametric cliff in closed form at each step, sets the next horizon by its saturation point, and uses an independent confidence threshold for token commitment, and achieves the best average accuracy on both open-source dLLM backbones.
