Learning to Simulate Individuals from Macro Social Signals

Large language models are increasingly used to simulate how individuals respond to new situations, yet the behavioral reasoning behind these responses is either inherited from pretraining or learned from individual-level annotations, which offer limited behavioral diversity and little supervision of the reasoning itsel...

Mask-Guided KV Cache Eviction in Block Diffusion Language Models

Block diffusion language models keep a large key-value (KV) cache throughout generation and attend to it at every denoising step, limiting both memory capacity and generation speed. Reducing these costs requires deciding which past tokens to use for denoising the current block (selection) and which to keep in memory fo...

When Does External Guidance Help LLM Reasoning? A Bias-Variance Theory of Guidance-Augmented GRPO

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become the dominant paradigm for eliciting multi-step reasoning in large language models, and a recent wave of methods (LUFFY, ExPO, PAPO, TAPO) further augments RL with \emph{external guidance} - expert traces, self-explanations, or retrieved thought patterns....

MaDI-Bench: An End-to-End Data Integration Benchmark

Data integration is the process of combining data from multiple, heterogeneous sources into a consistent, unified representation. Data integration involves a sequence of interdependent tasks including schema matching, value normalization, blocking, entity matching, and data fusion. Existing table-based benchmarks eithe...

Linking Scalar-Intensity Language to Structural Polarization with Validated Signed-Network Measures

Polarization in online communities is often studied through either language or interaction structure, but the two views are rarely connected within a unified framework. Prior work has linked them by constructing interaction graphs from human judgements of agreement and disagreement, leaving a gap between language as ob...

Precise Debugging Benchmark: Is Your Model Debugging or Regenerating?

Unlike code completion, debugging requires localizing faults and applying targeted edits. We observe that frontier LLMs often regenerate correct but over-edited solutions during debugging. To evaluate how far LLMs are from precise debugging, we introduce the Precise Debugging Benchmark (PDB) framework, which automatica...

EvoDesign: Agentic Editable Diagram Creation via Design Expertise Evolution

High-fidelity diagram creation requires the complex orchestration of semantic topology, visual styling, and spatial layout, posing a significant challenge for automated systems. Existing methods also suffer from a representation gap: pixel-based models often lack precise control, while code-based synthesis limits intui...

LinguDistill: Recovering Linguistic Ability in Vision-Language Models via Selective Cross-Modal Distillation

Turning a pretrained language model (LM) into a vision-language model (VLM) through multimodal fine-tuning often erodes its native language ability, a form of catastrophic forgetting that shows up even on text-only tasks. This loss is hard to undo with further fine-tuning, and existing remedies add adapters or alignmen...

3ViewSense: Spatial and Mental Perspective Reasoning from Orthographic Views in Vision-Language Models

Current Large Language Models have achieved Olympiad-level logic, yet Vision-Language Models paradoxically falter on elementary spatial tasks like block counting. This capability mismatch reveals a critical ``spatial intelligence gap,'' where models fail to construct coherent 3D mental representations from 2D observati...

MMLongCite: A Benchmark for Evaluating Faithfulness of Long-Context Vision-Language Models

The rapid advancement of long-context vision language models (LCVLMs) has led to a significant expansion of their context windows. However, an extended context window does not guarantee the effective utilization of the context, posing a critical challenge for real-world applications. Current evaluations of such long-co...

DEFAME: Dynamic Evidence-based FAct-checking with Multimodal Experts

The proliferation of disinformation demands reliable and scalable fact-checking solutions. We present Dynamic Evidence-based FAct-checking with Multimodal Experts (DEFAME), a modular, zero-shot MLLM pipeline for open-domain, text-image claim verification. DEFAME operates in a six-stage process, dynamically selecting th...

Exemplars in Disguise: Pure Exemplar Models Mimic Abstraction-First Learning

Whether idiosyncratic, item-specific knowledge is learned before abstract class-level generalizations, or vice versa, is a central question in language learning, with exemplar and abstraction-based theories making opposite predictions. Recent methods have claimed to show that, at least for large language models, abstra...
