Certified Against Which Oracle? Execution Labels Set the Reported Risk of Conformal Abstention for Text-to-SQL

This work runs a preregistered intervention on Spider-Realistic, swapping that database for the benchmark's distilled multi-instance test suite, and finds that every execution-consistency score looks better under the labels of the oracle that built its clusters, in 16 of 16 combinations.

Auditing Proxy-Based Validation Across Text Spans

A proxy-based validation claim is asked to declare the span each label is read from, report the construct agreement beside the proxy agreement, and release the generations that let the proxy be re-read off the scored span.

Latest Exact Match Attention

It is proved that LEMA transformers with chain of thought can simulate word-RAMs, as was recently shown for the less restrictive rightmost hard attention, and dictionary-based inference is implemented for LEMA transformers with dictionaries residing in main memory rather than VRAM.

Rewired or Gated? How Instruction Tuning Shapes Knowledge-Conflict Circuits in LLMs

This work provides the first mechanistic base-vs-instruct comparison of conflict-resolution circuits, and believes that because the conflict circuit is preserved rather than rebuilt, interpretability and control tools calibrated on base models should transfer directly to their deployed instruct siblings.

Query-Side Attacks on GNN-Based KGQA: Tracing Failures from Entity Linking to Answer Generation

GNN-based Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA) pipelines process queries through four discrete stages: entity linking, subgraph retrieval, GNN reasoning, and answer generation. Standard robustness evaluations conflate stage-level failures into a single end-to-end metric, obscuring both the source of brittleness an...

ReasonLab: A Controlled and Auditable Evaluation of Prompting Techniques for Multiple-Choice QA

Probing the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) and building robust solutions for Multiple-Choice Question Answering (MCQA) remain central challenges in natural language understanding. Furthermore, the rapid proliferation of LLMs has created the implicit assumption that more sophisticated prompting techniques...

Explanation-Guided Medical Named Entity Recognition with Stability and Boundary Awareness for Atopic Dermatitis

The proposed framework improves explanation robustness and achieves consistent performance gains across multiple NER models and provides a practical and generalizable solution for explainable medical NER and offers reliable support for downstream clinical decision-making and medical knowledge applications.

LLM Ghostbusters: Surgical Package Hallucination Suppression via Adaptive Unlearning

Adaptive Unlearning is presented, a post-deployment framework that surgically suppresses package hallucinations while preserving general model utility and relies entirely on model-generated data and requires no human annotation, representing a post-deployment hallucination mitigation framework.

Faithful Autoformalization via Roundtrip Verification and Repair

This work evaluates the framework on two statutory domains using two LLMs using two LLMs (Claude Opus~4.6 and GPT-5.2) with three repair baselines, finding diagnosis-guided scoped repair is the most effective method, with effectiveness contingent on the reliability of the diagnosis function.

A Survey on Long-Term Memory Security in LLM Agents: Attacks, Defenses, and Governance Across the Memory Lifecycle

This analysis indicates that robust Long-Term Memory security cannot be retrofitted at retrieval or execution time alone, but must be anchored in storage-time provenance, versioning, and policy-aware retention from the outset.
