Authorship identification under domain shift: a survey of stylistic measures and learned author representations

Authorship identification uses patterns in writing to infer who wrote a text, but those patterns also reflect topic, genre, and register. This survey argues that topic-independence is not a property of a stylistic feature but of the feature together with its encoding, its scoring rule, and the evaluation split, so the...

VOLTA: Improving Generative Diversity by Variational Mutual Information Maximizing Autoencoder

The natural language generation domain has witnessed great success thanks to Transformer models. Although they have achieved state-of-the-art generative quality, they often neglect generative diversity. Prior attempts to tackle this issue suffer from either low model capacity or over-complicated architectures. Some rec...

Harness-Zero: Harness Distillation via Agent-as-Harness

This work introduces Harness-Zero, which enables harness distillation through agent-as-harness, and shows that for frontier LLMs using the same evolved harness, agent-as-harness outperforms code-as-harness.

Emergent Collusion in Long-Horizon LLM Agent Interaction

LLM agents are increasingly deployed in collaborative settings, yet long-term interaction may give rise to undesirable coordination. We study the emergence of collusion in a long-horizon multi-agent environment: two agents repeatedly complete individual tasks, share task logs, verify each other's work, and receive rewa...

SLICEChat: Progressive In-Encoder Token Pruning for Whole-Slide Pathology Language Models

SLICEChat is introduced, a slide-level MLLM that integrates progressive token pruning within a hybrid Mamba--Transformer slide encoder, which demonstrates accurate and computationally efficient multimodal reasoning over gigapixel WSIs.

Extracting Arguments, Not Just Classifying Them: Instruction-Tuned LLMs for Generative Component Detection

Argumentative component detection (ACD) is a core subtask of Argument(ation) Mining (AM) and one of its most challenging aspects, as it requires jointly delimiting argumentative spans and classifying them into components such as claims and premises. While research on this subtask remains relatively limited compared to...

Circuit Hypernetworks for Quantum-Augmented Diffusion Language Models

HyperQ is introduced, which adds token-conditioned quantum residual branches to a frozen masked-diffusion language model, and support token-conditioned circuit emission as a tractable architectural approach to quantum-augmented language modelling.

Custom Named Entity Recognition and Topic Classification for Global Health Publications

The results show where domain specialization and lightweight adaptation offer practical value, and where transformer accuracy justifies higher inference costs, providing an empirical basis for building knowledge systems under resource constraints.

UK-PRBENCH: A Paragraph-Level Precedent Retrieval Benchmark for United Kingdom Case Law

Prior case retrieval (PCR) aims to identify precedent cases relevant to a given query case. Existing PCR benchmarks and methods predominantly operate at the document level, treating entire judgments as the unit of relevance. This formulation is suboptimal for legal practitioners, as judgments address multiple legal iss...

Morpho-VITS: Variational Inference with Morphological Modeling for End-to-End Speech Synthesis of a Tonal Bantu Language

Text-to-speech models for Bantu tonal languages are challenged by a tonal system that is rooted in both the lexis (i.e., the inventory of words, stems, and affixes) and the grammar (i.e., morpho-syntax). To complicate matters, the standard writing systems of these languages often omit tone markings and syllable duratio...

Representation-guided in-context learning for medical image interpretation with multimodal large language models

RG-ICL is introduced, a training-free inference framework that retrieves query-aligned demonstrations using frozen encoders, without task-specific parameter updates, and indicates that for medical image interpretation, curating which reference cases an MLLM sees is a practical alternative to retraining it.

AURA: Uncertainty-Routed Activation Editing for Acoustic Grounding in Speech Foundation Models

AURA is proposed, an ultra-efficient representation-editing method that freezes the pretrained model and applies sparse scale-and-shift edits to decoder cross-attention heads, supporting dynamic activation editing as a practical path for grounding AED speech models.
