Auditing Training Data in Domain-adapted LLMs: LoRA-MINT

arXiv:2606. 06946v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present LoRA-MINT, a new methodology for Membership Inference Test (MINT) applied to recent Large Language Models (LLMs) fine-tuned for specific Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks through Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA).

Fixing FOLIO and MALLS: Verified Annotations and an LLM-assisted Framework to Focus Human Relabeling

arXiv:2606. 02837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate translation from Natural Language to First-Order Logic (NL-to-FOL) underpins neurosymbolic AI systems and Natural Language Inference (NLI), making the quality of NL-to-FOL benchmarks essential -- yet these datasets have never been rigorously audited.

Limits of LLM Text Detectors in Education

The paper "Limits of LLM Text Detectors in Education" argues that existing LLM‑generated text detectors assume a binary human/LLM distinction, which fails to capture realistic student‑AI collaboration. It introduces a contribution‑aware evaluation framework with eight student contribution levels and presents GEDE, a benchmark of over 900 human‑written and 12,500 generated essays across 886 tasks. Using GEDE, the authors evaluate four detection methods and find that most detectors perform poorly on intermediate contribution levels, especially LLM‑assisted revisions, raising concerns about false accusations.

LuxIT: A Luxembourgish Instruction Tuning Dataset from Monolingual Seed Data

LuxIT is a monolingual instruction‑tuning dataset for Luxembourgish, created by synthesizing instruction‑answer pairs from native texts using the DeepSeek‑R1‑0528 model and a quality‑assurance LLM‑as‑judge process. The resulting 227,507 high‑quality pairs were used to fine‑tune 14 LLMs (≤15 B parameters), yielding an average accuracy increase of +5.37 percentage points on standardized Luxembourgish proficiency exams and improvements in macro‑averaged F1 on nine of the fourteen downstream NLP tasks. These findings demonstrate that synthetic monolingual data can effectively enhance LLM performance in low‑resource languages and reveal the complex relationship between exam performance and practical NLP gains.

Training LLMs to Verbalize Evaluation Awareness

The paper introduces Verbalization Training (VT), a technique that encourages large language models (LLMs) to openly express their evaluation awareness (EA) without directly supervising their internal beliefs. VT works by truncating model rollouts just before spontaneous verbalizations, creating training prefixes that signal awareness, and then applying a reinforcement learning objective to increase calibrated verbalization. Experiments on models such as Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, Kimi K2.6, and Inkling show that VT boosts verbalized EA by 2.4–2.9× while keeping latent EA and overall behavior largely unchanged, and a causal study confirms that VT-induced verbalizations reflect newly acquired meta‑knowledge.
