Mobile app reviews are a rich, continuously renewing source of how users experience privacy and security, yet existing taxonomies of these concerns are hand-crafted and cannot keep pace with the evolving nature of the data. Automating taxonomy construction is the natural response, but scalability is the core challenge: current LLM- and clustering-based methods are developed for scientific corpora of a few thousand documents and do not extend to app review collections numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

HalluPeer is a new benchmark designed to detect hallucinations in scientific peer reviews. It provides aligned triples of paper content, human-written reviews, and hallucination-injected reviews, annotated for detection, classification, and localization. Experiments on 12K papers and 38K reviews show that current detectors struggle to distinguish hallucinations from legitimate critique, and real peer reviews contain HalluPeer-defined hallucination patterns, underscoring the need for source-aware verification.

arXiv:2608. 10970v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in generating semantically relevant concepts and relations, making them promising tools for taxonomy enrichment.
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.
The paper introduces Vocalizer, a mobile app that lets users submit spoken online reviews enhanced by a large language model. A longitudinal study shows that users often use the AI to add detail and that interactive AI features boost confidence and willingness to share reviews. The authors also outline the benefits and challenges of embedding AI assistance in review-writing systems.
Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in generating semantically relevant concepts and relations, making them promising tools for taxonomy enrichment. However, directly relying on LLM-generated expansions often leads to noisy, redundant, or hierarchically inconsistent structures, limiting their reliability for automated taxonomy expansion.
arXiv:2607. 22695v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are capable of generalizing human language for the completion of never-before-seen tasks, leading to widespread deployment.
The paper introduces ‘DP-SPIN’, a trusted‑curator framework that generates differentially private semantic plans for aggregate insight generation. ‘DP-SPIN’ maps each record to a bounded sparse nonnegative vector over pre‑defined semantic concepts, sums these vectors into a semantic sketch, and releases a noisy plan containing admitted concepts and their masses. The framework provides user‑level privacy by clipping each user’s contribution and ensures that the final summary is differentially private through post‑processing, with guarantees established under both add/drop and replacement adjacency.

The paper introduces a clinically grounded privacy evaluation framework for medical language models, assessing leakage across a spectrum of adversarial access levels—from publicly inferable demographics to leaked note fragments. Using this framework on an LM pretrained on 378,000 clinical notes, the authors find that routine encounter metadata leads to high verbatim memorization and significant recovery of sensitive diagnoses (e.g., AUROC 0.91 for abortion, 0.82 for HIV). They also note that exact-match memorization can overstate disclosure, with 36% of memorized tokens being templated documentation, underscoring the risks of training on longitudinal clinical data and offering a reusable evaluation tool.
