This work proposes a Localize-Then-Decide framework, which restores the monotonic relationship between confidence and disagreement risk and enables high-probability agreement guarantees in large language models.

The constrained case of this"model size vs. inference compute"trade-off, in which the model outputs are constrained by a strict grammar at inference time, is examined, which demonstrates that the constrained trade-off behaves differently from the unconstrained trade-off.
RTLGuard leverages a teacher-student framework designed to sanitize compromised RTL generation models by fine-tuning a small-scale,"clean"teacher model on a limited set of trusted RTL data, and incorporating feature alignment and knowledge distillation to suppress malicious behaviors.

Spectral-Aware Muon is introduced, which holds the head at the Muon scale and amplifies the bulk using a static spectral prior, and both variants outperform tuned AdamW and Muon (Scion implementation) baselines in all evaluated model-scale and batch-size configurations.

This work proposes a label-free selection criterion built on SUDO, a framework for evaluating clinical AI systems without ground-truth annotations, and shows that AURCC can be used to rank a variety of vision-language models on chest X-ray classification across three inter-hospital shift scenarios, under zero-shot and MLP-probe regimes.

Linguistic meaning is grounded in conceptual content, from which reference to particular entities emerges as words enter discourse. To examine the processing dynamics associated with these two dimensions of meaning, we selectively disrupted conceptual or referential information in short narratives and traced the resulting effects in human self-paced reading and in the predictive and representational processing of large language models. In human reading, conceptual disruptions produced a strong but localized processing cost, emerging immediately after the distorted word, reaching an early maximum, and then declining rapidly. Referential disruptions produced weaker effects, which decreased more gradually across subsequent words, and were more strongly modulated by sentence boundaries. In the language model, both disruptions emerged immediately at the manipulated word. Contextual model surprisal showed a pattern closely paralleling human reading: conceptual disruption produced a larger, more locally concentrated effect that decayed rapidly, whereas referential disruption produced a smaller and more gradual downstream effect. Output-layer representations showed a different pattern: referential disruption produced a larger initial displacement, while both distortions were subsequently characterized by power-law decay. Together, these results provide convergent evidence for distinguishable processing dynamics of two types of meaning: conceptual information imposes a more locally concentrated integration cost, whereas referential information engages a more distributed process of maintaining discourse-level identity.
MoganBert-TR, a 149M-parameter Turkish encoder foundation model trained from scratch on a language-specifically filtered corpus, together with an embedding model derived from it (MoganBert-Embed) that ranks first among student models on the MTEB(Turkish) overall average and outperforms all compared Turkish tokenizers on compression and fertility across two independent test sets.

This paper introduces a programming language-agnostic, transferable, adversarial attack that exploits this CLM vulnerability and demonstrates that this attack, even when computed using smaller code embedding models, is highly effective and transferable to larger, closed-source embedding models.

This work presents a production retrieve-then-match cascade that spends computation in proportion to difficulty: retrieval surfaces plausible matches, a lightweight text cross-encoder auto-resolves the high-confidence majority, and an agentic multimodal vision-language model settles the ambiguous remainder.

This work introduces a controlled testbed for studying how goal-directed persuaders shift elicited stances in networks of LLM agents grounded in real-world ego-network topologies, and argues for evaluating multi-agent persuasion as a trajectory- and exposure-level process.

A von-Neumann inspired hypothesis of efficient computation as an alternative for neural decoding, a memory-augmented Transformer whose feed-forward block is a low-rank instruction bank: a shared base operator plus a small set of learned low-rank instructions, from which a per-token code synthesizes the weight matrix actually used at that token.
SHIFT-LLM, a training-free post-pruning correction framework that inserts a Linear Residual Adapter at each pruning site, consistently recovers accuracy lost to depth pruning across most configurations, achieving gains up to +15.7 points on Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct.
