From Interpretability to Control: Insights from Six Years of the TrustNLP Workshop

arXiv:2608. 11171v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Workshop on Trustworthy Natural Language Processing (TrustNLP), co-located with major ACL conferences since 2021, has grown from 8 proceedings papers to 41 over six editions, documenting a field-wide transition from post-hoc interpretability of static models to mechanistic understanding and proactive control of generative systems.

The Origins of Stochasticity: Comprehensive Investigations on Uncertainty Quantification for Large Language Models

Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled sophisticated reasoning and content generation, yet their inherent stochasticity poses significant challenges for ensuring predictive credibility. While traditional uncertainty taxonomy paradigms, such as the dichotomy of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties, provide conceptual foundations, they often fail to capture the multi-component and multi-stage nature of LLM generation and struggle to evaluate the effectiveness of various Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) methods.

Robust Explanations for User Trust in Enterprise NLP Systems

arXiv:2604. 12069v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robust explanations are increasingly required for user trust in enterprise NLP, yet pre-deployment validation is difficult in the common case of black-box deployment (API-only access) where representation-based explainers are infeasible and existing studies provide limited guidance on whether explanations remain stable under real user noise, especially when organizations migrate from encoder classifiers to decoder LLMs.
