arXiv:2606. 07479v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Turkish idiomatic light verb constructions (LVCs) are challenging for multiword expression processing because they often share the same surface form as fully literal verb-object combinations while functioning as a single, partially idiomatic predicate.

arXiv:2607. 03478v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-training of frontier language models is conducted on curated task suites, and inevitably leaves a distribution shift between training and deployment environments.

Neural Collapse predicts that balanced one-hot classification pushes model representations to be equally far from each other; a symmetric configuration that depends only on the output label and ignores any semantic similarity in the inputs. This creates a puzzle: next-token prediction language models are trained predominantly (as context length increases) with one-hot labels: the same context is very unlikely to appear twice in training with different labels.
arXiv:2606. 15521v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tokenization introduces representational redundancy: under a fixed token vocabulary, every byte string admits many valid token encodings, or segmentations, that decode to the same surface string.

arXiv:2606. 25987v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) attain remarkable surface fluency on code, yet they neither formally guarantee the syntactic validity of their output nor leverage the hierarchical structure defining the target language.

arXiv:2606. 05486v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prompt ambiguity is a common source of failure in large language models, but is difficult to localize because it is a latent property of the prompt, while existing attribution methods are designed to explain observable outputs such as logits or generated tokens.
