When Quantization Preserves Accuracy but Not Evidence: Explanation-Aware Post-Training Quantization for Medical LLMs

The objective is to preserve the full-precision model's answer-supporting behavior rather than improve gold-label accuracy, and the method better preserves the full-precision model's answer behavior and rationale-to-answer support.

Adapting Tree-Structured Speculative Decoding to DeepSeek-V4 for Efficient Inference

This work integrates tree-structured speculative decoding into the DeepSeek-V4-Flash pipeline via branch-aware causal verification, temporary state isolation, and accepted-path state refresh, keeping verification and compressed-state updates consistent across branches.

Assessing Readability with LLMs: The Role of Reasoning and Few-Shot Prompting

A systematic benchmark of diverse open-source LLMs for multilingual readability assessment is conducted, focusing on the prediction of discrete readability levels required by educational frameworks, to establish the viability of out-of-the-box LLMs as robust, cross-lingual readability assessors.

Toward a Unified Mathematics of Concepts

An operation-based view that evaluates mathematical frameworks by the conceptual operations they support is proposed, identifying thirteen operations (including similarity, composition, generalization, and grounding) that recur across cognition, psychology, and AI.

LLJ Cards: Best practices for the Use of LLMs as Judges

LLJ Cards is introduced, a framework that synthesizes best practices from measurement theory, natural language generation, and machine learning literature into practical guidelines for LLJ-based evaluations and provides a structured framework for applying these principles in the design and reporting of automated evalua...

End-to-end Jordanian dialect speech-to-text self-supervised learning framework

Speech-to-text engines are extremely needed nowadays for different applications, representing an essential enabler in human-robot interaction. Still, some languages suffer from the lack of labeled speech data, especially in the Arabic dialects or any low-resource languages. The need for a self-supervised training proce...

URA-NER: A Unified Retrieval-Augmented Framework with Retrieval Alignment and Uncertainty Reduction for Low-Resource NER

A novel unified retrieval-augmented framework, URA-NER, including three key components: Progressive Granularity Retrieval, Model-aware Representation Enhancement, and Reason-aware Knowledge Verification is proposed, including three key components: Progressive Granularity Retrieval, Model-aware Representation Enhancemen...

Mitigating Entity Type Confusion in Cross-Domain NER via Multidimensional Quantification and Reasoning Enhancement

Cross-domain Named Entity Recognition (CD-NER) aims to transfer the rich knowledge in the source domain to the target domain. Recent studies adopting decomposition or generation paradigms have achieved significant performance improvements, demonstrating high accuracy in entity span detection. However, during entity typ...

Structure Before Sampling: Community-Aware Core-Set Selection for Data-Efficient Text-to-Speech

Text-to-speech (TTS) corpora are costly to record, yet many utterances add little new phonetic information. Core-set selection reduces this cost by choosing a small training subset under a fixed audio-duration budget. We represent a corpus as a phonotactic graph that links each utterance to its most phonemically simila...
