Summarization is Not Dead Yet

arXiv:2606. 08000v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The progress of large language models (LLMs) has fueled claims that model-generated summaries rival or even surpass human-written references, raising questions about whether summarization remains an open research problem.

Rewrite to Translate, Translate to Reward: Reinforcement Learning for Source Rewriting in Machine Translation

arXiv:2606. 08011v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although directly prompting off-the-shelf Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate meaning-preserving source rewrites can effectively enhance Machine Translation (MT) quality, doing so requires manually tuning prompts for different MT models.

Conditional Normalizing Flows for Forward and Backward Joint State and Parameter Estimation

arXiv:2601. 07013v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional filtering algorithms for state estimation -- such as classical Kalman filtering, unscented Kalman filtering, and particle filters -- show performance degradation when applied to nonlinear systems whose uncertainty follows arbitrary non-Gaussian, and potentially multi-modal distributions.

Sparrow: Sparse Rollout for Stable and Efficient Long-context RL of Large Language Models

arXiv:2606. 08446v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite being powerful, reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) induces extremely long COT, making it computationally expensive.

Cheap Reward Hacking Detection

arXiv:2606. 08893v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A small transformer encoder is trained to map Terminal-Wrench trajectories onto a unit sphere where embedding distance approximates the $L_1$ distance between reward and metadata signals.

Rosetta Memory: Adaptive Memory for Cross-LLM Agents

arXiv:2606. 07711v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Memory is the key component for transforming a stateless LLM into a persistent, evolving agent through experience accumulation, long-horizon planning, and continual self-improvement.

Generalized Rank-based Evaluation for Knowledge Graph Completion: Perspectives, Framework, and Analyses

arXiv:2606. 08921v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to predict missing facts from an observed knowledge graph (KG), playing a crucial role in a wide range of real-world applications such as drug discovery, recommender systems, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

How Many Counterfactuals Does It Take? Probing VLM Hallucinations Through Circuits and Causal Effects

arXiv:2606. 08777v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual Language Models (VLMs) are known to produce hallucinated predictions that are not grounded in visual evidence, yet existing approaches lack a principled understanding of how robust such predictions are under counterfactual perturbations.
