Explanations of Large Language Models Explain Language Representations in the Brain

arXiv:2502. 14671v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) representations are known to align with brain activity during language processing, but it remains unclear what drives this alignment.

Cross-Subject Semantic Decoding with Shared-Space Alignment for Generalized Neural Representation Learning

arXiv:2607. 19394v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generalizing across subjects remains challenging in invasive neural recordings because electrode configurations, anatomical structures, and neural signal patterns vary substantially across individuals.

Predict and Reconstruct: Joint Objectives for Self-Supervised Language Representation Learning

arXiv:2606. 05173v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked language modelling (MLM) has been the dominant pre-training objective for text encoders since BERT, yet it encourages representations that are strongly anchored to surface-form token identity rather than deeper semantic structure.

Bias Analysis of L2 Speaking Assessment Systems Using Concept Activation Vectors

arXiv:2608. 06300v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic speaking assessment systems are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings to mark second language (L2) learners' speaking tests, making it critical to show that their scores depend on speaking proficiency rather than irrelevant speaker attributes such as first language (L1) or age.
