RunyaNER: Auxiliary Language Selection for Runyankore NER

Cross-lingual zero-shot transfer and multilingual fine-tuning are promising approaches for NLP tasks such as Named Entity Recognition (NER) in low-resource languages, but in the absence of target language benchmarks, it is unclear which auxiliary language selection strategy leads to the best transfer. We introduce Runy...

E-MoE: Enhanced Mixture-of-Experts for Non-Factorized Diffusion Language Models

Masked diffusion models (MDMs) generate sequences by progressively unmasking several tokens per denoising step, but their reverse process is typically factorized over positions, limiting sample quality in the few-step regime where diffusion's speed advantage over autoregressive decoding matters most. A recent line of w...

Who Warmed the Archives? LLMs Overestimate Historical Warmth

Historical archives are an under-used source for extending the instrumental climate record backward in time, and LLMs offer a way to extract the indices climatologists derive by hand. Beyond measuring how well systems extract this signal, we check whether their errors are safe to use for cross-century comparison, since...

The Rashomon Wikipedia: A Data-Perspectivist Analysis of Divergent Historical Narratives

Wikipedia aims to provide a unified, neutral record of history, yet its independent language editions often function as distinct epistemic communities, creating divergent narratives around contested events. This paper investigates cross-lingual historiographical bias by analyzing Wikipedia articles across five language...

Larry Caused the Car to Stop, But the Model Didn't Notice: Transformer Blindness to the M-Heuristic

Modern transformer models excel at capturing semantic relationships through sentence embeddings, yet their ability to perform pragmatic reasoning remains understudied. This paper investigates whether encoder-based transformers such as DeBERTa employ the M-Heuristic (the neo-Gricean principle that marked linguistic form...

Look What You Made Us Cluster: Hate Narrative Extraction from Reddit Discourse

Narrative extraction allows us to identify online hate narratives, supporting the construction of rigorous detection systems. Existing computational approaches, however, are limited in precision as they rely on semantic representations, which tend to capture only surface-level meaning. To detect more precise and interp...

SemOPT: Fixing Semantic Errors in LLM-based Optimization Modeling via Reward-Guided Search

Operations research supports decision-making in domains such as energy, economics, and healthcare. Solving operations research problems typically begins with optimization modeling, which translates a natural-language problem description into executable solver code. LLMs offer a promising way to automate this process, b...

CredWise: A Controlled Agentic Decision-Intelligence Framework for Explainable and Auditable Credit-Risk Assessment

Credit-risk prediction is important in banking, but a prediction alone does not explain why an applicant is risky or how it should be combined with other evidence. This paper presents CredWise, a decision-support framework that integrates credit-risk prediction, probability calibration, explainable artificial intellige...

VLM Fine-Tuning for End-to-End Combinatorial Optimization

Large language models (LLMs) have provided a unified interface for end-to-end combinatorial optimization (CO), but textual serialization alone may obscure spatial and relational structures that are important for generating effective CO solutions. This paper presents a general-purpose vision-language solver that augment...

Bridging Semantic Gaps in RAG through Generated Context Knowledge Fusion

Retrieval-Augmented Generation has established itself as a fundamental framework in natural language processing, seamlessly integrating information retrieval with the generative capabilities of large language models. However, this process is fundamentally constrained by a critical challenge: semantic space mismatch bet...

LLM unbranding: Erasing Commercial Identity while Preserving Generic Utility

Establishing unbranding as a critical practice to prevent visual logos from acquiring negative connotations is standard in image generation. Large Language Models (LLMs) now face a parallel and emerging challenge. These models frequently generate brand descriptions within diverse contexts. This frequency introduces sig...

Cross-Linguistic Effects in Bilingual Phoneme BabyLMs

Cross-linguistic effects are a central topic in bilingual first-language acquisition. Artificial learners can help investigate L1-L2 interactions by enabling controlled comparisons across language combinations and learning conditions. Recent work explores this direction by training bilingual language models under devel...
