A Reusable Semantic Web Framework for Evidence-Grounded Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments under the EU AI Act

The paper introduces a reusable Semantic Web framework that aggregates fragmented evidence needed for Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments under the EU AI Act, focusing on high‑risk public sector categories such as employment and worker management and access to essential public services. A curated 150‑record corpus is annotated across four axes and serialized into a SPARQL‑queryable knowledge graph of 1,351 RDF triples, enabling five demonstration scenarios that retrieve 103 records (68.7% coverage). Evaluation against a 69‑record gold standard shows that LLM‑assisted classification in the employment domain yields a low κ of 0.045, highlighting challenges in automated fairness‑related evidence retrieval, while all artefacts are released openly for regulators, authorities, and SMEs.

LAAF: A Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for LLM Applications

The paper introduces LAAF, a Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for Large Language Model (LLM) applications, developed through a systematic review of 122 primary studies and 12 regulatory documents. It identifies five accountability dimensions and four families of mechanisms—technical controls, human oversight, organisational governance, and documentation/traceability—evaluated across maturity levels. The framework maps onto major standards such as the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and sectoral guidance, highlighting gaps in human oversight, accountability metrics, disciplinary alignment, and empirical validation.

LAAF: A Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for LLM Applications

The paper presents LAAF, a Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for Large Language Model (LLM) applications, developed through a systematic review of 122 primary studies and 12 regulatory documents. It identifies five dimensions of accountability and four families of mechanisms—technical controls, human oversight, organisational governance, and documentation/traceability—each assessed for maturity. The framework is mapped onto major regulatory standards (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001) and highlights persistent gaps such as under‑specified human oversight and lack of shared accountability metrics.

ARGUS: Role-Aware Event Knowledge Graphs for U.S. Employment-Discrimination Complaints

ARGUS is a pipeline that builds document-level Event Knowledge Graphs (EKGs) from U.S. employment‑discrimination complaints. It uses a 5W1H-inspired schema, legal-domain models, and LLM‑based structured generation to extract fact‑bearing statements, create chunk‑level event graphs with participant, temporal, and causal structure, and merge them into comprehensive document representations. Evaluation shows that graph‑structured classifiers outperform raw and linearized baselines on claim classification, and EKG‑only retrieval improves document‑scoped QA, though overall open‑retrieval gains are limited by low first‑stage candidate recall.
