arXiv:2607. 00009v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the remarkable proficiency of large language models (LLMs) in basic writing assistance, their utility in creative writing is fundamentally hindered by a persistent binary failure.

arXiv:2606. 05724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form narrative QA requires reasoning over evolving story worlds rather than isolated passages: answers may depend on earlier goals, changing character states, social relations, causal triggers, temporal position, and later consequences.

arXiv:2606. 17350v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled the generation of high-quality prose, yet the question of whether these models are capable of generating diverse outputs remains contested.

arXiv:2607. 22657v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can reproduce disinformation-aligned narrative frames as plausible explanations, raising the question of whether existing machine-unlearning algorithms can suppress this behavior.
By Viktoriia Makovska, George Fletcher
arXiv:2606. 08000v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The progress of large language models (LLMs) has fueled claims that model-generated summaries rival or even surpass human-written references, raising questions about whether summarization remains an open research problem.

arXiv:2608. 12336v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A story premise is the creative spark from which a full narrative can grow.

arXiv:2605. 17064v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models are optimized for instruction following and agentic tasks remain poorly aligned with the requirements of high-quality creative writing.

arXiv:2605. 06142v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: When people recount personal memories, they often refer to people, places, and events indirectly, relying on con-textual cues rather than explicit names.
By Yehudit Aperstein, Eden Moran, Alexander Apartsin
arXiv:2606. 15741v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Narrative question answering (NQA) is a challenging task in natural language processing that requires models to understand long textual contexts, capture relationships across events, and generate coherent responses.
By Molham Mohamed, Ali Hamdi
arXiv:2601. 01095v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved impressive progress in vision-language reasoning, yet their ability to understand temporally unfolding narratives in videos remains underexplored.
By Hyeonjeong Ha, Jinjin Ge, Bo Feng, Kaixin Ma, Gargi Chakraborty
arXiv:2607. 06160v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Synthesizing long-context supervised fine-tuning (SFT) data is a scalable way to enhance the long-context understanding of large language models (LLMs), yet existing approaches share three limitations: narrow task coverage, insufficient instruction difficulty, and a lack of faithfulness supervision.
