TradeVerse: A Longitudinal Benchmark of Political Negotiation in International Trade

arXiv:2608. 06549v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs are increasingly being applied to tasks involving institutional and political texts, but existing benchmarks evaluate them on isolated documents or single tasks.

Speak for Me: Giving LLMs the Situational Awareness to Participate in a Meeting

The paper introduces CAPA, a Collaborative Agent Predictive Architecture designed to give large language model (LLM) agents situational awareness in online meetings. CAPA uses a Perceiver to update meeting state, a Predictor to forecast conversation flow, a Controller to decide speaking actions, and a Generator to phrase contributions. Evaluated on 137 AMI meetings, CAPA reduces the silence rate from 51.4% to 2.5%, doubles credited recovery, and maintains low hallucination, demonstrating that structured state tracking is key to effective delegation.

Who Argues What? Joint Argument-Entity Detection and Classification in Political Debates

The paper introduces DNE‑ElecDeb, an enriched version of the USElecDeb dataset that annotates Debate Named Entities (DNEs) in both argumentative and non‑argumentative spans, and defines Debate Named Entity Recognition (DNER) as a new task. It proposes Joint Argument and Entity Tagging (JAET), a generative framework that fine‑tunes decoder‑only LLMs to insert inline argument and entity tags into debate turns while preserving the original transcript. JAET achieves significant improvements in joint AM+DNER performance (+27.3% relative F1 in the untyped setting and +41.9% in the typed setting) over sequential pipelines, and these gains generalize to Persuasive Essays (+26.6% and +52.7%).

Speak for Me: Giving LLMs the Situational Awareness to Participate in a Meeting

The paper introduces CAPA, a Collaborative Agent Predictive Architecture designed to improve large language model (LLM) participation in online meetings. CAPA tracks meeting state with a Perceiver, predicts conversation flow, decides when and what to speak, and generates contributions in the participant’s style, all while being calibrated by judges. In experiments on 137 AMI meetings, CAPA cuts the LLM’s silence rate from 51.4% to 2.5%, doubles credited recovery, and maintains low hallucination.
