arXiv:2510. 04120v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance on metaphor detection and interpretation tasks, yet it remains unclear what such behavioral success reveals about metaphor processing.

arXiv:2601. 03388v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Earlier research has shown that metaphors influence human decision-making, raising the question of whether metaphors also influence large language models (LLMs)' reasoning pathways, given that their training data contain a large number of metaphors.

Similes provide a compact and expressive way to describe visual characteristics in text prompts. Recent text-to-image models (t2i models) can produce visually compelling outputs from simile prompts, yet even frontier models frequently misinterpret the metaphorical vehicle and confuse it with the object.
arXiv:2602. 05493v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Data annotation remains a significant bottleneck in the field of humanities and social sciences, particularly for complex linguistic tasks such as metaphor identification.
