Understanding how individual traits influence team performance is valuable, but these traits are not always directly observable. Prior research has inferred traits like trust from behavioral data. We analyze conversational data to identify team traits and their correlation with teaming outcomes. Using transcripts from...

Vision-language models (VLMs) may accept false visual premises, answering questions about a target object's color, count, location, or state even when it is absent. We call this reliability-critical behavior a target-absence grounding failure. Existing visual-grounding detectors primarily rely on generated responses, h...
In recent years, the performance of large language models (LLMs) on reasoning tasks has been remarkable, even surpassing human capabilities on various benchmarks. However, there remains a lack of clear understanding in the academic community regarding how the structure and internal parameters of LLMs progressively solv...
Pre-trained language models (PLMs) with encoder-based architectures have shown impressive capabilities in zero-shot cross-lingual transfer for various language understanding tasks. However, applying this technique to dependency parsing remains a significant challenge due to its syntactic nature. To boost model generali...

AnthroDial is introduced, a unified framework for developing anthropomorphic social agents from three complementary aspects: MindFlow, a lightweight interaction harness that enables autonomous, asynchronous, and adaptive communication through a dynamic Mind Buffer; CAPS-Eval, a theory-grounded framework for evaluating...

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) remain vulnerable to cross-modal implicit risks: visual and textual inputs that appear benign in isolation can jointly elicit unsafe responses. Existing safety methods often require large preference datasets, costly multi-rollout training, or additional safeguards at inference time. They m...

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong potential as training-free text encoders for long-context embeddings. Existing approaches primarily improve information flow under causal attention and typically construct embeddings by uniformly averaging all token representations. However, for long documents, such mean p...

Purpose: Most Greek papyri remain unpublished and undigitised; a handwritten text recognition (HTR) pipeline that transcribes them automatically would let scholars discover documents and literary works that have so far gone unread. Recognition systems for Ancient Greek papyri are in statu nascendi, and how accurate the...
Existing product matching benchmarks primarily contain English-language product data and are often dominated by a single product category, such as electronics. This paper introduces Billiger.de Products, a bilingual German and English entity matching benchmark covering thirteen consumer product categories, including di...

Reading behaviour varies not only with linguistic input, but also with reader proficiency. In this study, we investigate whether the layer-wise relationship between surprisal from large language models (LLMs) and human gaze behaviour differs across readers with different levels of proficiency and across gaze measures....
Graph-based retrieval-augmented generation supports multi-hop retrieval by organizing corpus information into graphs. However, existing relation-free graph retrieval methods rely primarily on query-sentence similarity to search for evidence. This can exclude useful bridging evidence with low query similarity and activa...
LLMs have been studied in recent linguistics as potential models of humans'linguistic abilities. Here we discuss an entirely different use of AI, namely as a co-scientist, to help construct and assess linguistic theories (we refer to the result as"Co-Linguistics"). Since the 1960s, linguistics has developed theories th...
