Culturally-Adapted Red-Teaming Across East and Southeast Asian Contexts: A Methodological and Comparative Analysis

arXiv:2606. 09178v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual safety evaluation of large language models (LLMs) has predominantly relied on direct translation (DT) of English benchmarks into target languages - an approach that converts surface-level linguistic form while failing to reflect the cultural context embedded in threat scenarios, social norms, and legal frameworks.

End-to-End Training for Discrete Token LLM based TTS System

arXiv:2606. 09234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent state-of-the-art (SOTA) text-to-speech (TTS) systems typically adopt a cascaded pipeline consisting of a speech tokenizer, an autoregressive large language model (LLM), and a diffusion based flow-matching (FM) model, with these components trained independently.

CUA-Gym: Scaling Verifiable Training Environments and Tasks for Computer-Use Agents

arXiv:2605. 25624v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has driven breakthroughs in domains such as math, tool-use, and software engineering, yet its extension to computer-use agents (CUAs) has been bottlenecked by the scarcity of scalable training data with deterministic rewards.

Lowering the Barrier to IREX Participation: Open-Source Algorithms, Toolkit, and Benchmarking for Iris Recognition

arXiv:2605. 20735v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: NIST Iris Exchange (IREX) offers an appealing solution to evaluating new open-source iris recognition algorithms, but it presents high barriers to entry because these algorithms must be written in C++, using a specific API, and adapted to meet strict IREX speed and memory constraints.
