TRACE: Temporal Audit and Condition-aware Evaluation of Streaming Video Understanding

It is found that nearly identical QA accuracy can mask substantial differences in completion, answer validity, and generation workload, while proactive performance separates into response quality, response delay, false alarms, and missed target windows.

REALMS: An AI-Assistant Conversational System for Real-Time Exact Audience Sizing over High-Dimensional Nested Profiles

Audience sizing is a critical component of digital marketing. It enables precise resource allocation, campaign planning, and performance optimization. Traditional approaches using skeleton audiences, sampling, or predictive modeling suffer from significant delays, estimation errors, and poor scalability over high-dimen...

Where Does Retrieval-Based Open-Ended Evaluation Fail? Automatic Taxonomy Induction from Long-Form Medical Answer Factuality Verification

Analysis reveals that scaling model size, adding reasoning effort, expanding to authoritative web sources, and applying medical fine-tuning do not resolve these failure modes, demonstrating that they represent fundamental limitations of the retrieve-then-verify paradigm in open-ended medical settings rather than artifa...

Inference-Time Target Speaker Unlearning in LLM-Based Automatic Speech Recognition

We introduce target-speaker unlearning ASR (TSU-ASR) task in a fully end-to-end framework for multi-speaker ASR and diarization. Given a multi-speaker utterance and a set of opt-out speakers who do not wish to have their speech transcribed, the task requires an ASR system to transcribe all speakers except the opt-out o...

All In Good Time: Causality-Aware Framework for LLM-Based Simultaneous Speech-to-Speech Translation

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown strong performance in low-resource offline translation; however, extending them to simultaneous speech-to-speech translation (Simul-S2ST) remains challenging due to the scarcity of causally aligned training data with high cross-lingual speaker fidelity. In addition, existing appr...

A Benchmark Framework for Screening Automation in Systematic Reviews

An evaluation framework that accounts for class imbalance is proposed, i.e., the natural prevalence of excluded articles relative to included articles in SRs, and PromptSR, a tool designed to support prompt experimentation, experiment management, and result analysis for LLM-based screening are introduced.

Not All Memories Are Equal: Hierarchical Collaborative Memory for Validity-Aware Retrieval in LLM Agents

HiCoMER is proposed, a framework for hierarchical collaborative memory management and validity-aware retrieval in LLM agents that consistently outperforms strong baselines by reducing outdated retrieval, preserving current team consensus, and improving downstream QA quality.

Large Language Model Selection with Limited Annotations

Choosing a Large Language Model (LLM) for a given task requires comparing many strong candidates, yet standard evaluation relies on costly annotations over fixed evaluation sets. To address this challenge, we develop SELECT-LLM, the first framework for active model selection of LLMs. SELECT-LLM aims to find a small set...

The Communication Map of a Transformer

The communication map, which charts every potential communication channel from the geometry of the model's weights alone, generalizing the composition score of Elhage et al. (2021), is presented and an account of the properties of the coupling coefficient is provided, including its geometric interpretation and its exac...
