The paper presents an end‑to‑end pipeline for translating natural language planning descriptions into PDDL problem instances using large language models. It incorporates multiple checks—syntactic parsing, planner success, domain conformance, an LLM critic, and iterative repair—to ensure faithfulness to the original task. Experiments on Planetarium, AutoPlanBench, and curated PDDL~2.1 problems reveal that operational success can diverge from benchmark‑reference reconstruction, and that structured repair improves outcomes while PDDL~2.1 remains challenging for reference reconstruction.
The paper introduces IndicReStruct, a benchmark dataset comprising two variants—GSM8K-Reordered and GSM8K-Voice—derived from GSM8K to test multilingual LLMs on Hindi and Malayalam. It evaluates six state‑of‑the‑art LLMs under constrained constituent reordering and active‑passive voice transformation, finding consistent and significant drops in mathematical reasoning performance. Qualitative error analysis and residual‑stream activation patching reveal that failures often stem from disrupted entity‑quantity alignment, with intermediate transformer layers playing a key role in restoring reasoning.
EviSI is an evidence‑based evaluation agent for low‑latency simultaneous speech‑to‑speech translation. It combines Multidimensional Quality Metrics with interpreter‑developed criteria, using shared source evidence to assess four dimensions—Anchor, Event, Logic, and Fluency—while deduplicating verified errors before scoring. On English‑to‑Chinese and Chinese‑to‑English data, EviSI’s rankings correlate strongly with human judgments, outperforming BLEU and COMET, and its multilingual extension maintains these correlations across five language directions.
Uncertainty estimation is essential not only for the trustworthy deployment of large language models (LLMs) but also as a foundation for self-refinement in LLM generation. However, existing approaches operate at suboptimal granularities: token-level scores lack semantic coherence, while sequence-level scores fail to localize errors.

arXiv:2601. 12247v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) present a promising non-sequential paradigm for text generation, distinct from standard autoregressive (AR) approaches.
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.
