OpenSanctions Pairs: Large-Scale Entity Matching with LLMs

OpenSanctions Pairs is the first large‑scale public benchmark for entity matching on sanctions and OSINT data, comprising 755,540 expert‑labeled pairs drawn from over 1 million entities across 293 source datasets and 45 jurisdictions. The dataset spans multiple languages and writing systems, inconsistent structures, and time‑varying provenance, making it far more heterogeneous than prior benchmarks. Baseline experiments show a rule‑based matcher achieving 91.3 % F1, GPT‑4o reaching 99.0 % F1, and a locally deployable open‑source model scoring 98.2 % F1, with complementary failure modes that highlight the need to focus on downstream pipeline components.

Redakto - The Incognito Tab for LLMs

Redakto is a new tool designed to anonymize text before it is processed by large language models (LLMs). It offers state‑of‑the‑art redaction of personally identifiable information (PII) and pseudonymization, accessible via a web interface, REST APIs, and model context protocol hooks. The authors evaluate its performance on legal and medical datasets, showing that anonymized texts retain utility comparable to the originals, enabling LLM tasks without significant loss of effectiveness.

KhatianDoc: A Human-Verified Benchmark Diagnosing Multimodal LLM Failure on Bengali Legal Land Records

KhatianDoc is a new benchmark that tests multimodal large language models on Bengali legal land records, specifically the handwritten RS Khatians used in Bangladesh. The benchmark comprises four tasks—symbol recognition, base‑16 to decimal conversion, structured field extraction, and legal document question answering—drawn from 107 real records and 1,634 QA pairs. Six multimodal LLMs were evaluated under a zero‑shot protocol, revealing that many models fail to answer a significant portion of questions correctly and perform poorly on arithmetic conversion, highlighting a lack of capability rather than a performance gap.

Wieszcz-XIX: A 3.1-Billion-Word Corpus of Pre-1918 Polish and Temporally Bounded Language Models Trained From Scratch

Wieszcz‑XIX is a 6.75‑billion‑token corpus of Polish texts from 1800‑1918, comprising 3.1 billion words across 294,369 documents, assembled from Wolne Lektury and the Internet Archive. The pipeline filters, deduplicates, audits for post‑1918 leakage, and splits at the document level, yielding a training set with only 0.04–0.38 % post‑1918 residue. From this corpus the authors train decoder‑only language models ranging from 47 M to 349 M parameters, demonstrating that larger models better preserve period spelling and exhibit temporal boundedness compared to modern Polish baselines.
