Abstract: Word-level detectors identify unedited AI-generated text almost perfectly, but the literature documents their brittleness under rewording, and a word-l...

The paper presents an agentic framework for detecting conspiratorial content in social media by inferring the speaker’s intent rather than merely identifying explicit claims. It leverages social context and adaptive tool use, demonstrating superior performance over text-only and non-agentic models on a large Hebrew tweet dataset spanning election cycles and the COVID pandemic. The study highlights the importance of context-aware, reasoning-driven approaches for accurate conspiracy detection.

arXiv:2608. 14651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Effective disaster risk communication is a foundational humanitarian challenge, yet current emergency infrastructure fails to meet the needs of individuals with access and functional needs, including hard-of-hearing individuals, pregnant women, mothers with toddlers, and elderly individuals with dementia.

The paper introduces an open, modular AI framework that automatically detects and structures evidence of social tipping points in climate literature at the passage level. It integrates a DistilBERT boundary splitter, an iteratively augmented RoBERTa classifier, a Mistral 7B rewrite model, a LLaMA 3.2 3B rating model, and a Milvus vector store, all accessible via a Streamlit interface. Evaluation on a GPT‑4.1‑labelled benchmark and expert‑reviewed set shows the splitter outperforms competitors and the RoBERTa detector achieves high accuracy and agreement.

HUMAID-NER is the first named entity recognition dataset built on the HumAID benchmark, comprising 60,000 English disaster tweets with approximately 175,000 labeled entity spans across ten operationally motivated entity types. The dataset was created using a reproducible three‑stage hybrid pipeline that combines a spaCy transformer model, disaster‑domain EntityRuler patterns, and structured regular expressions with priority‑based overlap resolution. A joint multitask learning framework using a shared RoBERTa‑large encoder and homoscedastic uncertainty weighting achieves an NER span micro‑F1 of 0.841 and classification macro‑F1 of 0.761, and the authors provide a real‑time web dashboard, dataset, models, and pipeline code for reproducibility.

The paper introduces a two‑stage training framework that combines Supervised Fine‑Tuning (SFT) and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) to improve multimodal disaster severity assessment. It creates two datasets—ReasoningSet for validated rationales and PreferenceSet for paired rationales—using a single Human‑in‑the‑Loop workflow. Experiments on InternVL‑3‑8B and LLaVA‑1.5‑7B show that SFT boosts classification accuracy and Macro‑F1, while DPO further enhances interpretability and alignment with human judgment.
