The rapid adoption of large vision-language models (LVLMs) in recent years has been accompanied by growing fairness concerns due to their propensity to reinforce harmful societal stereotypes. While significant attention has been paid to such fairness concerns in the context of social biases, relatively little prior wor...

Paralinguistic speech tasks are often considered relatively language-agnostic, as they rely on extralinguistic acoustic cues rather than lexical content. However, prior studies report performance degradation under cross-lingual conditions, indicating non-negligible language dependence. Still, these studies typically fo...

Internet audio-visual clips convey meaning through time-varying sound and motion, which extend beyond what text alone can represent. To examine whether AI models can understand such signals in human cultural contexts, we introduce AVMeme Exam, a human-curated benchmark of over one thousand iconic Internet sounds and vi...

The Lombard effect plays a key role in natural communication, particularly in noisy environments or when addressing hearing-impaired listeners. We present a controllable text-to-speech (TTS) system capable of synthesizing Lombard-like speech in a zero-shot manner without requiring Lombard-specific training data. Our ap...

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated prominent reasoning capabilities in recommendation tasks by transforming them into text-generation tasks. However, existing approaches either disregard or ineffectively model the user-item high-order interactions. To this end, this paper presents an enhanced LLM-based reco...

Background: Expert-annotated benchmarks for non-English open-response clinical questions are scarce. LLM-as-a-judge systems may scale evaluation but require validation.
Objective: To introduce MedQADE, a standardized German open-response clinical benchmark with physician reference annotations, and evaluate LLM-as-a-j...

Emotion Recognition in Conversation is a core component of affective computing, while current sign language emotion datasets primarily focus on isolated sentences and lack conversational context. Models trained exclusively on these isolated utterances demonstrate degraded performance in real world scenarios because the...

Multi-agent systems built from teams of large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for collaborative scientific reasoning and problem-solving. These systems require agents to coordinate under shared constraints, such as GPUs or credit balances, where cooperative behavior matters. Behavioral economics provid...

Automated analysis of customer feedback on social media is hindered by three challenges: the high cost of annotated training data, the scarcity of evaluation sets, especially in multilingual settings, and privacy concerns that prevent data sharing and reproducibility. We address these issues by developing a generalizab...

Despite the success of reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), existing reward modeling methods largely rely on explicit feedback, which is costly to collect and difficult to scale. This work studies implicit reward modeling, learning reward models from implicit user feedback, such as clicks, copies and skip...

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly participate in morally sensitive decision-making, yet how they organize ethical frameworks across reasoning steps remains underexplored. We introduce moral reasoning trajectories, sequences of ethical framework invocations across intermediate reasoning steps, and analyze their...
Real-time video commentary generation provides textual descriptions of ongoing events in videos. It supports accessibility and engagement in domains such as sports, esports, and livestreaming. Commentary generation involves two essential decisions: what to say and when to say it. While recent prompting-based approaches...
