Culturally Grounded Personas in Large Language Models: Characterization and Alignment with Socio-Psychological Value Frameworks

arXiv:2601. 22396v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the growing utility of Large Language Models (LLMs) for simulating human behavior, the extent to which these synthetic personas accurately reflect world and moral value systems across different cultural conditionings remains uncertain.

Efficient Adversarial Attacks on High-dimensional Offline Bandits

arXiv:2602. 01658v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Bandit algorithms have recently emerged as a powerful tool for evaluating machine learning models, including generative image models and large language models, by efficiently identifying top-performing candidates without exhaustive comparisons.

MaskForge: Structure-Aware Adaptive Attacks for Jailbreaking Diffusion Large Language Models

arXiv:2606. 04027v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising partially masked sequences under bidirectional context, exposing a safety surface distinct from autoregressive LLMs.

R-APS: Compositional Reasoning and In-Context Meta-Learning for Constrained Design via Reflective Adversarial Pareto Search

arXiv:2606. 04823v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are fluent on open-ended tasks, yet in agentic settings, where a system must plan, use tools, and act over extended horizons, fluency does not ensure reliable delivery.

Structured Prompt Optimization Meets Reinforcement Learning for Global and Local Interpretability over Complex Text

arXiv:2605. 29076v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLMs have advanced text classification, yet existing paradigms face a trade-off: supervised (label only) fine-tuning is scalable but offers limited reasoning on complex text and lacks broader model transparency, while discrete prompt optimization offers human-readable instructions but struggles with performance and scalability.
