When LLMs Sit Above Diagnostic Tools: Unrealized Complementarity in Industrial Fault Diagnosis

Large language models are increasingly used as integration layers above specialized tools, but a stronger component does not necessarily produce a stronger combined system. Across five diagnostic datasets (bearing vibration, process monitoring, semiconductor equipment), we study whether an LLM can reliably use external...

IREA: Intermediate Representation-based Embedding Alignment for Normative RAG

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance across various tasks, but they still struggle with questions involving ethical judgment. Previous studies have attempted to train LLMs on ethical standards, but the diversity and relativity of ethical norms make them difficult to fully internalize in model para...

TrajLong: Co-Designing Agentic and Long-Context Supervision for Mid-Training

LLM agents for coding, search, and workplace tasks increasingly rely on long-context capabilities to effectively aggregate and reason over extended interaction histories. Recent work has incorporated agent trajectories into mid-training stage, drawing on their naturally long and interaction-rich structure. Yet how to o...

Building LLM Agent Systems the Deep Learning Way: From Modular Design to Architecture Search

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized AI research and enabled exciting agent systems. To build a complex LLM agent system, most existing research relies on insights from other domains or heuristics to manually build the agent system. However, this approach often requires heavy hand-engineering and fails to f...

From Overloaded to Guaranteed: High-Throughput Multi-SLO Enforcement for LoRA-Assisted On-Premise LLM Deployment

As Large Language Models (LLMs) become essential in privacy-sensitive sectors like hospitals and government agencies, the on-premise LLM servers offer a cost-effective and secure alternative to public cloud services. However, these resource-constrained servers struggle to guarantee heterogeneous Service Level Objective...

Rewrite What Matters: Adaptive Multilingual Query Rewriting for Reasoning via Agentic Reinforcement Learning

In multilingual scenarios, queries with equivalent semantics but in different languages could guide the model into different reasoning trajectories, leading to performance disparities. To mitigate this gap, previous studies typically apply a one-size-fits-all query rewriting strategy, such as translation, which overloo...

No Hindsight for LLM Fact-Checkers: Measuring Leakage Channels in Misinformation Detection

As automated fact-checking scales on social media, large language model (LLM) verdict scores can look stronger than warranted. One reason is that evaluations mix in information that was not knowable at claim time. Two channels are easy to conflate: outcomes memorized in pre-training and retrieved evidence published aft...

How Do People Challenge Racial Stereotypes Online? Counter-Story Detection Across Reddit Communities

Counter-storytelling is a powerful mechanism people use to challenge dominant narratives. Unlike other forms of counterspeech that have been widely studied in computational social science, counter-storytelling has largely been overlooked. Counter-stories are difficult to detect automatically; they are relational (defin...

Verb-ICL: Rethinking In-Context Learning for Structured Prediction

Structured prediction tasks pose unique challenges for in-context learning (ICL): their compositional outputs require modeling fine-grained, token-level patterns that sentence-level approaches fail to capture, and their task-specific annotation conventions are human-defined artifacts that cannot be acquired through pre...

WNet: Discrete Wavelets Transform for Efficient Token Mixing

In a Transformer, token mixing is the step that lets each token draw information from other tokens, and it dominates the cost of encoding long sequences. Self-attention does this mixing very well: every token weighs every other token by content, which gives strong contextual modeling. That all-pairs comparison is also...

Understanding Errors in LLM-Based Question Answering over Imperfect Tables

We investigate error discovery and handling in question answering over imperfect tables through controlled studies across three large language models (LLMs) on human-reviewed RADAR-T examples. Answering questions over these tables requires handling errors that can affect the answer. We vary row order and compare origin...

Steering Speech-Language Models: Training-Free Task Specialization via Contrastive Activation Addition

Activation steering has proven effective for controlling the behavior of Large Language Models (LLMs) at inference time, but its application to SpeechLLMs remains new, and training-free steering approaches for such models are still largely unexplored. We propose a training-free Contrastive Activation Addition (CAA) pro...
