Robust Wake-Up Word Detection by Two-stage Multi-resolution Ensembles

Voice-based interfaces rely on a wake-up word mechanism to initiate communication with devices. However, achieving a robust, energy-efficient, and fast detection remains a challenge. This paper addresses these real production needs by enhancing data with temporal alignments and using detection based on two phases with...

Using Fine-Tuned LLMs to Identify Indicators of Vulnerability in UK Police Incident Logs

Purpose: Understanding how much of routine policing involves vulnerable people could inform resourcing, training, and multi-agency response, yet administrative data provide limited insight. We explore whether an LLM-based classification pipeline, developed on open-source US police data, can be adapted to estimate the p...

A Dominant Self-Conditioning Direction Drives Repetition in Unconditional Continuous Diffusion Language Models

Continuous diffusion language models offer an alternative to autoregressive generation, but their generations may suffer from repetition. We find that unconditional generations from ELF, a recent family of continuous diffusion language models, are more repetitive than human text, while Gen-PPL, a common likelihood-base...

OctoNest: Adaptive Cross-Device Execution through Stateful Control

Computer use agents are expanding from single-device operation toward cross-device systems that coordinate tasks across heterogeneous environments. Execution conditions are often only partially known at planning time and revealed through interaction. Failures may require intra-device modality switching or inter-device...

Interactor: Agentic RL oriented Iterative Creation for Ad Description Generation in Sponsored Search

This paper focuses on automatically generating informative ad descriptions in sponsored search. Unlike ad titles which are usually optimized to attract user click feedbacks, ad descriptions have a longer text span and possess the potential of incorporating world knowledge to address user search intents while presenting...

Direct Translation between Sign Languages

Sign language translation has made substantial progress between sign and spoken languages, while translation across sign languages remains less explored. Translating directly between sign languages could support communication across signing communities without requiring a shared written language. A cascade of sign-to-t...

Atomic and Holistic LLM Judges for Reference-Grounded Support Labels: A Prompt-Controlled Comparison

When an LLM judge only has to assign a three-way support label to a candidate answer given a reference, does asking it to decompose the answer into atomic claims help, and at what cost? We compare four single-call designs that share the judge model, the inputs, and the level of instruction detail: candidate-side atomic...

Structure of Basic Human Values in Russian Social Media

What is known about the values of national populations rests almost entirely on questionnaires, which prompt respondents to rate researcher-supplied descriptions of each motivation. Social media instead records values as they are invoked spontaneously, in communication addressed to a real audience. We measure value exp...

Lowest Span Confidence: Zero-Shot Hallucination Detection from a Single LLM Response

Hallucinations in Large Language Models (LLMs), i.e., plausible but non-factual generations, pose a significant challenge to reliable deployment in high-stakes environments. However, many existing hallucination detectors require expensive repeated sampling for consistency checks or access to model-internal states unava...

Decision-Oriented Recommendation Reranking: An Empirical Study of Jev

Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for recommendation reranking, but their use introduces an important tradeoff between recommendation quality and serving efficiency. We investigate whether a decision-oriented model provides a useful alternative when the reranking task is fundamentally a structured choice...

MCD: Causal Distillation of Multimodal In-Context Learning in Large Vision-Language Models

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) exhibit strong multimodal in-context learning (ICL) capabilities, yet this ability degrades substantially as model size decreases. Knowledge distillation offers a natural way to bridge this gap, but existing methods primarily align output distributions or hidden representations dire...
