Compound-QA: A Benchmark for Evaluating LLMs on Compound Questions

Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable performance across various tasks, prompting researchers to develop diverse evaluation benchmarks. However, most benchmarks typically measure the ability of LLMs to respond to individual questions, neglecting the complex interactions in real-world applications. We intr...

A Course Intelligence Platform for Higher Education: Lessons from AI-Assisted Course Evaluation

A course intelligence platform deployed across more than 100 universities and serving over 10,000 instructors in China is presented, suggesting that AI-assisted evaluation requires not only capable models but also structured domain knowledge and transparent criteria.

SG-FSM: A Self-Guiding Zero-Shot Prompting Paradigm for Multi-Hop Question Answering Based on Finite State Machine

Large Language Models with chain-of-thought prompting, such as OpenAI-o1, have shown impressive capabilities in natural language inference tasks. However, Multi-hop Question Answering (MHQA) remains challenging for many existing models due to issues like hallucination, error propagation, and limited context length. To...

Eraser: Jailbreaking Defense in Large Language Models via Unlearning Harmful Knowledge

A novel defense method called Eraser is proposed, which mainly includes three goals: unlearning harmful knowledge, retaining general knowledge, and maintaining safety alignment, which can significantly reduce the jailbreaking success rate for various attacks without compromising the general capabilities of the model.

Authorship identification under domain shift: a survey of stylistic measures and learned author representations

Authorship identification uses patterns in writing to infer who wrote a text, but those patterns also reflect topic, genre, and register. This survey argues that topic-independence is not a property of a stylistic feature but of the feature together with its encoding, its scoring rule, and the evaluation split, so the...

VOLTA: Improving Generative Diversity by Variational Mutual Information Maximizing Autoencoder

The natural language generation domain has witnessed great success thanks to Transformer models. Although they have achieved state-of-the-art generative quality, they often neglect generative diversity. Prior attempts to tackle this issue suffer from either low model capacity or over-complicated architectures. Some rec...

Harness-Zero: Harness Distillation via Agent-as-Harness

This work introduces Harness-Zero, which enables harness distillation through agent-as-harness, and shows that for frontier LLMs using the same evolved harness, agent-as-harness outperforms code-as-harness.

Emergent Collusion in Long-Horizon LLM Agent Interaction

LLM agents are increasingly deployed in collaborative settings, yet long-term interaction may give rise to undesirable coordination. We study the emergence of collusion in a long-horizon multi-agent environment: two agents repeatedly complete individual tasks, share task logs, verify each other's work, and receive rewa...

Extracting Arguments, Not Just Classifying Them: Instruction-Tuned LLMs for Generative Component Detection

Argumentative component detection (ACD) is a core subtask of Argument(ation) Mining (AM) and one of its most challenging aspects, as it requires jointly delimiting argumentative spans and classifying them into components such as claims and premises. While research on this subtask remains relatively limited compared to...

Custom Named Entity Recognition and Topic Classification for Global Health Publications

The results show where domain specialization and lightweight adaptation offer practical value, and where transformer accuracy justifies higher inference costs, providing an empirical basis for building knowledge systems under resource constraints.
