A national language model offers a linguistic community its own instrument for measuring what its citizens say and value. Portugal's AMALIA, a publicly funded 9B-parameter model for European Portuguese, appears competitive on agreement alone: asked to code the moral foundation of authority, it agrees with trained human coders to within six F1 points of open models eight to thirteen times its size.
We present a computational stylometric analysis of the Tipitaka across all three Pitakas in English translation, extending earlier work on the Sutta Pitaka alone. The corpus spans 134,831 segments from Bhikkhu Sujato's Sutta Pitaka (114,591 segments, CC0), Bhikkhu Brahmali's Vinaya Pitaka (7,923 segments, CC0 2026), I.
arXiv:2608. 11816v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: State-aligned distortion has been documented in China-origin text-based large language models (LLMs), but whether, and in what form, it arises in multimodal systems has not been systematically examined.
The article presents a technical manual for an open toolkit designed to measure how transformer language models individuate word meanings across different contexts. It introduces the concept of a "bridge form"—a single word that appears unchanged in multiple domains but with distinct senses—and outlines a full pipeline from specifying these forms to extracting layer-wise representations, computing silhouette-based separation metrics, and visualizing results. The manual details each design choice and its intended methodological safeguards, emphasizing that it serves as a methodological reference rather than reporting empirical findings.
arXiv:2607. 13077v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) often produce homogeneous outputs, raising concerns that AI coding assistants may lead to convergence in the software artifacts that developers create.
arXiv:2606. 28335v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We argue, with systematic empirical evidence, that a large language model's political ideology is not a fixed point, but a conditional distribution $\mathbb{P}($position$\mid$context$)$ over a real political space.
The paper argues that computational text‑based ideal point estimation (CT‑IPE) methods should be viewed as configurable measurement pipelines rather than fixed estimators. It presents a large‑scale comparative experiment involving 17 CT‑IPE algorithms, 5,537 runs, and about 4.25 million left‑right position estimates, and describes shared infrastructure that enables joint execution of these heterogeneous methods. Sensitivity analyses reveal that most algorithms exhibit low hyperparameter sensitivity (ICC < .10), with any remaining sensitivity concentrated in a few key researcher choices such as the language or embedding model, seed keyword lists, and number of topics.
