Fairness Beyond a Single Run: Training-Seed Variability in Speech LLM Adaptation

At 460 h of clean LibriSpeech, the seed moves fairness metrics more than compression does on most demographic axes, and a balanced 3x3 decomposition attributes 85.3% of the variation in Fair-Speech ethnicity normalized gap to the seed against 8.3% to compression.

GraphForge: Training Working Agents with Graph-Anchored Workspace Synthesis

GraphForge, an evidence-graph based framework that grounds both the task and its verification in real files, and rejects fine-tuning on the SFT model's own rollouts yields further improvements on all three benchmarks, suggesting that the rubrics provide a useful selection signal.

TRACE: Target-Aware Retrieval, Attributed Evidence, and Contract-Constrained Extraction for LitTraceQA

Finding a relevant paper is not the same as producing a verifiable answer from it. LitTraceQA requires canonical paper identifiers, exact evidence at the page or object level, and typed answers that match the evaluator. We call the separation between source access and scorer-visible correctness the grounding contract g...

Forging LLM Authorship Fingerprints with Targeted Rewriting

Model-attribution classifiers can often identify which language model produced a text, making model-specific writing patterns a signal of provenance. Accurate attribution on unmodified text, however, does not show whether the prediction still identifies the original source after deliberate rewriting. We formulate this...

MetaSteer: Context-Conditioned, nonlinear Steering via Attention-Projection Adaptation

Steering large language models typically relies on linear, context-independent interventions in activation space, an assumption that recent work has challenged and that can induce an information bottleneck when a fixed representation must encode many behavioral distinctions. We introduce MetaSteer, a method that learns...

Strong Multilingual Privacy Tagging at Encoder Speed

A multilingual named-entity tagger with fine-grained distinctions supporting varied redaction policies and methods for cheaply learning additional distinctions is developed, and a multilingual encoder with an affine span-tagging head is fine-tuned for frontier-model annotations in 35 languages.

Marking Contour Tones in Yor\`{u}b\'{a}: A Typographic and Computational Proposal

Yor\`ub\'a is a tonal language in which contour tones pose persistent orthographic challenges. These are especially notable for personal names and lexical items whose conventional spellings avoid vowel lengthening that would otherwise provide a host syllable for the second tone. A particular concern is a class of names...

StreamDecisionBench: Evaluating Decisions in Force on Evolving Language Streams

Language models increasingly make real-time decisions in applications that apply the latest answer until a newer one arrives. A late answer can prolong an outdated decision, such as a call recorder still running while a customer reads out card details, an error offline accuracy misses. We make three contributions. Firs...

DEdit: Iterative Draft Editing for Speculative Decoding

Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive LLMs by having a lightweight drafter propose tokens that the target model verifies in parallel. Diffusion-based drafters further reduce drafting latency by proposing multiple tokens at once. However, these tokens are predicted independently, so a single early error causes...

Evaluating Whether LLMs Can Reliably Connect the DOTs?

Access to real-world information is often noisy and fragmented. Constructing a coherent narrative from such fragments requires models to reconstruct missing spans within a broader storyline, commonly referred to as text infilling, while preserving consistency with both the local context and the global storyline. Despit...
