Large language model (LLM) chatbots are increasingly used to answer clinical questions with citations to relevant studies, yet the quality of retrieved evidence and factors influencing study selection remain unclear. We evaluated three general-purpose LLM chatbots (Claude Sonnet 5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and ChatGPT GPT-5.5)...

Computer-use agents turn vision-language model (VLM) predictions into executable GUI clicks, so reliable uncertainty estimates are essential for rejection, calibration, miss-severity ranking, and spatial safety regions. Yet evidence on post-hoc uncertainty quantification (UQ) for these agents is fragmented across isola...

Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning is the dominant paradigm for inference-time scaling in language models, yet the causal influence of individual steps on the final answer remains poorly understood. In this work, we use answer logits at the end of each reasoning step to estimate each step's causal importance to the final...

Large Language Model (LLM) search agents have shown strong promise on knowledge-intensive tasks through iterative reasoning and retrieval. Most existing systems rely on retrievers that return ranked documents from a pre-built index. We explore a complementary paradigm in which the agent treats the corpus as the search...

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models enable efficient LLM scaling, yet adapting them to non-English downstream tasks remains challenging. Standard multilingual fine-tuning largely ignores their heterogeneous routing structure. Across multiple MoE models and tasks, we find strong cross-lingual routing alignment in middle lay...

End-to-end automation of realistic healthcare operations stresses three capabilities underrepresented in current benchmarks: policy density, decisions must be grounded in a large library of medical, insurance, and operational rules; Multi-role composition: a single task requires the agent to play multiple roles with ha...

Large Language Models (LLMs) voice assistants are commonly built as cascaded Automatic Speech recognition (ASR) to LLM systems, where recognition errors can distort user intent. Dislikes may also arise from ambiguous, out-of-domain, or non-request turns, making it hard to isolate ASR effects. We release WASIL (it denot...

Modern LLM RL systems separate rollout generation from policy optimization. These two stages are expected to produce token probabilities that match exactly. However, implementation differences can make them assign different values to the same sequence under the same model weights, inducing Training-Inference Mismatch (...

Psychological support hotlines provide critical support for individuals experiencing mental health emergencies, yet current assessments largely rely on human operators whose judgments may vary with professional experience and are constrained by limited staffing resources. This paper proposes a large language model (LLM...

Recent literature on fine-tuning Large Language Models highlights a fundamental debate. While Full Fine-Tuning (FFT) provides greater representational plasticity, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) can match or surpass FFT performance while constraining updates to a low-rank space and potentially benefiting from additional reg...

Vision-language models (VLMs) still struggle with visual perception tasks such as spatial understanding and viewpoint recognition, largely because natural image datasets provide limited supervision for low-level visual skills. Can targeted synthetic supervision address these weaknesses without reference images or manua...

Humans and large language models can predict next letter or word from its prior context much better than random guessing, indicating strong redundancy of language viewed as a stochastic process. Quantitatively this redundancy was estimated by Shannon to be around 80\%, which means that every letter of a printed English...
