Quantifying how meaning propagates through communicative exchanges remains underdeveloped in computational linguistics. Here we introduce an information-theoretic framework that quantifies the directed flow of semantic content between interlocutors and decomposes multi-source contributions into redundant, unique, and synergistic components.
arXiv:2606. 12332v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evaluating multi-turn dialogue is challenging because quality emerges across turns rather than within individual responses.
arXiv:2606. 05330v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models can shift human beliefs across high-stakes domains, but most persuasion studies rely on pre/post belief change.
arXiv:2607. 14769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing text summarization research has focused much on monologic information (e.
arXiv:2606. 01736v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As LLMs are increasingly used to draft public-facing arguments, they may flatten public debate by repeatedly introducing the same polished, plausible arguments.
arXiv:2608. 14630v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human decision-making is often shaped by a range of well-documented cognitive biases.
arXiv:2512. 06227v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Real-world indicators play an important role in many Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, such as life events for mental health analysis and risky behaviours for online safety, yet labelling such information is often costly and/or difficult due to its multi-label and dynamic nature.
arXiv:2604. 20711v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Artificial intelligence is increasingly deployed to synthesize large-scale public input in policy consultations and participatory processes.
arXiv:2604. 24079v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) reveal inherent and distinctive personas through dialogue.
arXiv:2607. 25335v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt compression shortens LLM input to reduce inference cost, yet existing methods score token importance through LM forward passes.
arXiv:2607. 03882v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs are increasingly deployed as post-hoc explainers of AI-generated outputs, yet it remains unclear whether they can reliably communicate probabilistic information in natural language.
arXiv:2606. 26982v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being integrated into mental health support tools and other psychologically sensitive conversational applications.
Pragmatic language use requires reasoning about alternatives: the alternative expressions a speaker might have chosen, or the alternative interpretations a listener might entertain. Formal and computational models of pragmatics must therefore specify the sets of alternatives that interlocutors reason over, which is often done through manual specification.
