WaveTLM: Reliable Time-Series Language Modeling through Task Compilation

WaveTLM introduces a unified compiler‑executor framework that transforms natural‑language requests into typed task states and reliable numerical or structured outputs for time‑series tasks. The authors present ExecTS‑QA, a benchmark covering forecasting, imputation, classification, anomaly detection, and waveform analysis, and show that a single WaveTLM checkpoint achieves 99.40% contract‑valid coverage versus 37.83% for a string‑first baseline while maintaining balanced predictive performance. Additional evaluations on SciTS, TSQA, IRTS‑ToolBench, and ARFBench demonstrate the model’s transferability.

BUSTA: Teaching Small Language Models to Reason About Binary Execution

The paper introduces BUSTA, a method for training small language models to reason about binary execution. By fine‑tuning Qwen3‑1.7B and Nemotron‑3‑Nano with Group Relative Policy Optimization, the authors improve the models’ ability to predict input register values for a given x86‑64 basic block, raising accuracy from 73.2% to 85.3% and from 63.3% to 95.2% respectively. The fine‑tuned Nemotron‑3‑Nano achieves performance within four points of frontier models while using far fewer parameters, and the authors release both the fine‑tuned models and the training dataset.
