A Survey of Transformer-based Language Models with Focus on Efficiency

The paper surveys Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) with a focus on efficiency, reviewing 312 articles that cover data curation, model design, downsizing, and dynamic inference. It also examines efficiency in adaptation strategies such as pre‑training, fine‑tuning, prompt‑engineering, and Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG). A statistical analysis and evaluation of over 30 prominent NLP models on 13 benchmarks provide insights into both efficiency and efficacy, highlighting trends toward sustainable NLP practices.

Paid Voices vs. Public Feeds: Interpretable Cross-Platform Theme-Based Analysis of Climate Discourse

arXiv:2601. 13317v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Climate discourse online shapes public understanding of climate change and informs political and policy debate, yet it unfolds across structurally different environments: paid advertising platforms host targeted, institutionally produced messaging, while public social media reflects largely organic, user-driven discussion.

GPTBIAS: A Comprehensive Framework for Evaluating Bias in Large Language Models

The paper introduces GPTBIAS, a framework that uses powerful large language models like GPT‑4 to evaluate bias in other LLMs. It employs specially crafted prompts called Bias Attack Instructions to probe for bias and outputs a bias score along with detailed information such as bias types, affected demographics, keywords, reasons, and improvement suggestions. Extensive experiments demonstrate the framework’s effectiveness and usability.

SENSESHIFT: Continuous Sentiment-Controlled Text Generation via Encoder-based Mask Infilling

SenseShift is an encoder-based framework that enables fine‑grained, sentence‑level sentiment control in text generation. It uses bidirectional attention, quantized sentiment signals, and iterative mask infilling to generate local sentences conditioned on target sentiment intensity. Experiments on story and review generation show that SenseShift delivers stronger sentiment controllability while preserving text quality and robustness to out‑of‑domain inputs compared to larger decoder‑based baselines.
