arXiv:2607. 10617v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The lineage graph of open-weight language models is self-reported: Hugging Face's base_model metadata field is optional and unverified, and over 60% of Hub models document no parentage at all.
arXiv:2608. 08139v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Establishing the provenance of a language model---including its base checkpoint and possible overlap in training distributions---is a governance challenge that metadata alone cannot resolve.
arXiv:2608. 14929v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-weight language models are fine-tuned, quantized, pruned, and merged, yet their provenance is often undocumented.
arXiv:2607. 10252v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly consumed through opaque serving chains - API aggregators, resellers, and inference providers - in which the client has no technical means to confirm that the model answering is the model advertised, and recent audits show that a substantial fraction of commercial endpoints deviate from the vendor's reference weights.
arXiv:2609.00654v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We describe the SciTrue team's participation in both subtasks of the NTCIR-19 SciClaimEval task~\cite{sciclaimeval}, which asks systems to verify scien...
arXiv:2608. 07786v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-weight large language models (LLMs) are increasingly developed through complex, multi-stage pipelines, leading to intricate lineage relationships that reflect model origin, ownership, and evolution.
arXiv:2607. 25880v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM provenance testing asks whether a suspect LLM belongs to the same lineage as a source.
arXiv:2607. 06596v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Trusted monitoring is a central defense in AI control: a cheaper trusted model scores an untrusted model's actions for sabotage, and the most suspicious are audited or deferred.
arXiv:2607. 15517v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Four-finger SLAP fingerprints are flat live-scan impressions of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers of one hand, used for identity verification in border control and law enforcement.
arXiv:2608. 07946v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-SQL benchmarks ship schemas whose column names already say what the columns mean.
The paper evaluates nine on‑device named‑entity recognition models ranging from classical taggers to large language models, measuring not only accuracy but also latency and output validity. Using a silver‑gold benchmark derived from an LLM judge panel and a human‑validated corpus, the study shows that encoder‑based models achieve comparable accuracy to a 4 B instruct LLM while being much smaller, faster, and producing no malformed output. Confidence calibration of GLiNER is analyzed, revealing over‑confidence but improved reliability after temperature scaling and thresholding.
arXiv:2608. 15046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A fraction of a point of benchmark accuracy is the usual evidence that a compressed model is equivalent to its original.
arXiv:2607. 18240v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can achieve strong fact-checking accuracy, yet forced binary decisions conceal a critical reliability problem: systems may issue confident verdicts even when supporting evidence is weak, sparse, or internally inconsistent.
