Group-Marginalized Self-Rewarding RL Drives Zero-Label Self-Evolving

GMAE aggregates reward realizations across possible contexts into a response-level distribution and estimates expected advantages, which exhibits stable learning, low extra cost, and good applicability across training datasets and RL backbones.

Long-Term Memory-Guided Enhancement for Target Perception in Audio-Language Models

Inspired by long-term memory in human listening, Long-Term Memory-Guided Audio Enhancement (LTM-AE) is proposed to improve selective target perception by refining the audio representations of ALLMs without training to improve selective target perception.

Adapting Context Compression for Long-Horizon Agents with Counterfactual Continuations

It is found that compression degrades reliability before solvability and proposed PAIR (Prompt Adaptation using Interventional Rollouts) for adapting structured compression prompts achieves the strongest cross-run reliability among compressed methods in every main benchmark-scope combination.

Large-scale factor analysis shows machine intelligence is only partially interpretable

The findings go against current endeavors of defining, identifying, and targeting general intelligence as a tangible construct in language model development, since the strategy of targeting a single conceptual ability without support is left without support.

Similar Choices, Different Attention: Cross-Modal Associations in Humans and Vision-Language Models

Cross-modal associations are systematic pairings of features across modalities, such as the association of'bouba'with round shapes and'kiki'with sharp shapes. Prior work has compared humans and vision-language models (VLMs) on such associations, but often using different stimuli or tasks between humans and models. Here...

Reliable Parallel Decoding in Masked Diffusion Language Models

Masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) can generate text efficiently by predicting multiple masked tokens in parallel, but predictions from the same forward pass are not necessarily reliable when committed together. We study when parallel commitment is reliable. Our diagnostics show that confidence alone does not det...

Calibrated to Whom? Persona and Language Effects on Cultural Values in JEV

Decision-only language models return a probability for every answer option instead of generating text, which makes them attractive as survey respondents and as judges. We audit the cultural values of one such model, TypeSafe's JEV, with the Values Survey Module 2013. We asked it the 24 items as 12 matched Saudi and 12...

Training LLMs to Verbalize Evaluation Awareness

Verbalization training is introduced, a method for making LLMs less reticent about verbalizing evaluation awareness while avoiding to supervise the latent belief itself, and it is shown that VT-induced verbalizations reflect the richer knowledge acquired by the model.

MoRE: Scaling mixture of experts with hardware-aware low-rank routing

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers are central to frontier language models, and recent architectures push toward more and smaller experts. In this regime, the standard linear router becomes a bottleneck: with $M$ experts and hidden dimension $h$, its per-token cost $\Theta(Mh)$ dominates the MoE layer once $M$ is large. W...

In-Context Learning Amplifies a Latent Symbolic Circuit

A three-stage symbolic reasoning circuit (abstraction, induction, retrieval) is traced across shot counts in three model families and finds it is detectable and functional well before the model achieves high accuracy.
