FAVoR (Federated Authorial Voice Retention), an author-style residual mechanism for federated PEFT, improves author-style retention over standard and personalized federated PEFT baselines and is supported by component ablations, external verification, and cold-start transfer.

This work proposes ToolSearcher, a novel RL framework for effective multi-turn search and fine-grained optimization in large-scale tool selection, which introduces category-constrained tool discrimination to improve the model's ability to distinguish functionally similar tools.

Difference-in-differences (DID) studies are widely used to evaluate climate policy, but assessing the evidence supporting their identification assumptions remains challenging. We introduce ARGUS, a structured language-model pipeline that audits reported evidence against an eleven-dimension assumption-implication-eviden...

It is found that training on code-switched data aligns the representations of parallel text, particularly across different scripts, and that this alignment persists through training on monolingual documents.

These results identify conditions under which the resulting predictor exploits local geometry and attains the aggregate minimax rate, and derive an in-context generalization bound for near empirical risk minimizers over this class.
Skill Profiling with Attributable Reasoning (SPAR), an eight-IMU garment and pressure-insole system that classifies each punch as expert or novice and treats an explanation of that prediction as feedback, is presented.

It is found that the optimal backend choice differs between column and row attention and varies across hardware as well as model specifics: While the FlashAttention implementations tailored for each GPU generation perform overall best, they are at times outperformed by CuDNN in the case of column attention at longer se...

TalkMesh, a decentralized mesh of small language model agents that learns when and what to communicate is presented, a decentralized mesh of small language model agents that reaches the accuracy of majority voting over 32 samples with each of three models.
Disinformation research has produced increasingly accurate automated fake-news detectors, but many systems remain difficult to interpret and are weakly connected to established theories of persuasion, credibility, and human judgment. In this paper, we develop a theory-informed computational framework that translates cr...

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in settings where responses must reflect multiple, potentially interacting social norms and human values. Activation steering offers a lightweight alternative to training-based alignment by modifying internal activations at inference time. However, prior human-valu...
This work introduces checkability as a criterion for determining which tasks are suitable for local inference, in Touchstone, a local-first pipeline that uses seven off-the-shelf SLMs (1-8B parameters) to generate candidates, uses task-specific intrinsic checks to reject responses, and escalates unresolved inputs to a...
