Correct Verdicts, Wrong Field: Attribution and Capability Are Dissociable When Small Language Models Follow a Rubric

A behavioral format assay changes the structure of a prompt and reads whether a model’sanswers improve. Verdict accuracy is the usual measure. We show that it is not sufficient,and that a model’s self-reported basis for its answer is not sufficient either. We gave threelocal language models a structured decision rubric...

Cntnap2 deletion in mice causes developmentally transient alterations in auditory processing and persistent startle hyperreactivity

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition often associated with auditory symptoms, including impairments in sound perception and hypersensitivity. These symptoms are thought to be partly due to the delayed development of the auditory brainstem, as evidenced through aberrant auditory brainstem res...

How Much of a Leaderboard Ranking Survives Its Own Sampling Error? A Paired-Resolution Audit of Five AI Benchmarks

A benchmark leaderboard is read as a stopwatch: the rank beside a model is treated as a fact. Yet every entrant is scored on the same items and publishes which it solved, so a leaderboard is a paired experiment, and its ordering can be tested rather than trusted. We test each adjacent-rank pair for statistical separabi...

Two-stage integrated evidence synthesis: Systematic review and meta-analysis of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for frostbite plus exploratory development of frostbite amputation risk prediction model using MIMIC-IV and eICU-CRD databases

## Study Objective This two-stage integrated study aims to address the unresolved clinical question: which patients with severe frostbite may benefit from adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Stage 1 will synthesize existing clinical evidence of HBOT for acute frostbite via systematic review and meta-analysis....

FadeBench — Jev history-against-cold contrast (pre-registration + results, committed before calls 2026-09-18)

This registration deposits the pre-registration and the scored results of a FadeBench sub-study. FadeBench is a benchmark for incremental moral drift ("ethical fading") in small, local, open-weight language models. This sub-study asks whether a typed-decision model — Jev, TypeSafe's first public "System One" model, whi...

Sufficient for Whose Answer? Three Predicates Under One Word in Selective Retrieval-Augmented Generation, and Why the Only One Tied to Correctness Cannot Be Computed Where the Gate Runs

(c) 2026 Pranay Mahendrakar. Licensed under CC BY 4.0. A retrieval-augmented system that answers only when its retrieved context suffices needs a predicate that says when it does. Three incompatible predicates are in circulation under the word "sufficient", and results obtained under different ones are routinely compar...

Beyond the gold standard: evaluating AI for subject indexing of Swedish LGBTQ + fiction

This study evaluates the potential of large language models (LLMs) for subject indexing of Swedish LGBTQ + fiction using the dedicated QLIT thesaurus, based on Homosaurus. It examines both the quantitative performance and qualitative characteristics of AI-generated subject terms, with particular attention to thesau...

ceceli33/titan-cognitive-core: AkbasCore v2.1 — Damped Resonance Alignment: Synthetic Concept Injection

Summary This release documents a working method for injecting a chosen concept into a large language model's internal computation, at inference time, without changing the model's weights or its prompt. The starting point was AkbasCore's existing steering mechanism (Damped Resonance Alignment, "DRA"), which nudges a mod...

Addressing Span Imbalance and Semantic Complexity in Nested Medical Named Entity Recognition

The proposed AGPNer integrates a heterogeneous dependency fusion encoder, which reconstructs masked entities to enhance token representations and fine-tunes a hybrid dependency modeling block to learn domain-specific patterns in medical texts; an imbalance-adaptive span decoder, which decouples entity and non-entity sp...

Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring

StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics. The post Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring appeared first on Microsoft Research.
