RT‑SFT is a method for text style transfer that uses roundtrip translation through a pivot language to strip stylistic information from monolingual corpora, creating pseudo‑parallel data. This data is then used to LoRA‑finetune an instruction‑tuned large language model as a stylizer, allowing the model to rewrite sentences in a target style while preserving meaning. Experiments across four style domains show that RT‑SFT surpasses state‑of‑the‑art approaches, including few‑shot in‑context learning, and offers effective retrieval augmentation for expert style domains with strict terminology.
arXiv:2605. 31393v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sign language translation (SLT) remains constrained by the limited availability of paired sign-video/text corpora and by the heavy-tailed vocabularies typical of real-world datasets.
The paper introduces Style‑Debiased DPO (SD‑DPO), a method that refines large language models’ ability to retrieve stored knowledge by using preference optimization that corrects for style differences while preserving factual accuracy. SD‑DPO evaluates on the EntiGraph storing‑side framework and outperforms baseline CPT on the QuALITY reading‑comprehension benchmark, achieving higher accuracy with far fewer training tokens. In a knowledge‑editing setting (AToKE), SD‑DPO attains an overall accuracy of 0.982, correctly answering queries with either new or old facts based on the requested time period.
The paper presents a pipeline that leverages large language models to extract grammatical rules, example sentences, and lexicons from descriptive grammar books, producing synthetic parallel corpora for fine‑tuning machine translation models. Evaluated on three low‑resource languages—Kalamang, Tuatschin, and Mandan—the synthetic data improves translation quality over seed‑data baselines in 75% of configurations for Kalamang and 59% for Tuatschin, achieving up to +8.8 ChrF++ gains. A factorial study across 96 configurations identifies which combinations of target part‑of‑speech, retrieval granularity, and sample volume drive performance gains and where they fail, demonstrating that static linguistic documentation can be repurposed for practical translation tools for severely under‑resourced languages.

arXiv:2606. 10099v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid development of large language models (LLMs) has raised concerns about misuse such as plagiarism, misinformation, and automated influence operations, motivating the need for robust detectors.
arXiv:2606. 00462v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Short-form text rewriting is a constrained variant of paraphrasing in which limited context and high semantic density leave little room for variation.
arXiv:2608. 25826v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A recent line of synthetic-data work reconstructs the thinking behind existing text rather than rewriting the text itself, but it operates on short web passages, recovers only local thoughts, and leaves the structure of whole documents untouched.
arXiv:2607. 07179v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Document Visual Question Answering (DocVQA) presents a complex multimodal challenge, requiring models to exploit visual, textual, and layout information from documents.
The paper introduces TokenAdapt, a model‑agnostic tokenizer transplantation method that uses a hybrid heuristic to initialize new token embeddings, and a novel pre‑tokenization learning approach for multi‑word Supertokens to improve compression. TokenAdapt combines local subword decomposition and global semantic similarity to preserve semantics while reducing retraining needs. Empirical results show that TokenAdapt outperforms existing baselines such as Transtokenizer and ReTok, achieving lower perplexity ratios and significant compression gains.
arXiv:2605. 00924v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI-generated content (AIGC) detectors are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings such as academic integrity screening, yet their reliability rests on a fundamental paradox: as language models are trained on human-written corpora, the statistical boundary between AI and human writing will inevitably dissolve as models improve.
arXiv:2607. 11898v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large-scale text corpora have become a quiet bottleneck in modern NLP, not just in storage, but in the accumulated cost of training, fine-tuning, and continual learning.
