The paper presents a three‑phase pipeline that shifts semantic user profiling from per‑user to per‑transaction‑pattern inference, dramatically reducing LLM inference costs. The Resolve phase maps item names to abstracts, Profile generates categorical labels, free‑text attributes, and prevalence estimates per pattern, and Tag clusters these attributes into a searchable database. Evaluated on a public e‑commerce corpus, the pattern‑based approach matches the performance of a per‑user LLM while enabling deployment at a major Japanese bank with tens of millions of users and a three‑order‑of‑magnitude reduction in inference targets.

The paper presents a new calibrated confidence framework for straight‑through processing (STP) of financial documents, decomposing confidence into perception, layout, and validation channels and applying conformal risk control. Using Vision‑Language Models (Qwen3.6‑27B and Gemini‑3.1‑Flash‑Lite) on three public datasets, the method raises AUROC from 0.54‑0.74 to 0.90‑0.99 and increases auto‑approval rates to 49‑72% while keeping empirical error below the target. This approach enables reliable, large‑scale STP without human review.

GAVEL is a framework that uses an explicit graph world model to verify and repair long‑horizon plans generated by large language models (LLMs). The graph encodes object relations, action pre‑conditions and effects, and probabilistic beliefs about unobserved object locations, allowing the system to predict action outcomes, detect violations, and repair them before execution. In experiments on BEHAVIOR‑1K, GAVEL boosts single‑task success from 41.2 % to 91.8 % and multi‑task success from 19.9 % to 92.6 %, while also reducing travel distance by about 5.4 % compared with a static variant.

CliniCIRCA is a modular large‑language‑model framework that reconstructs longitudinal mental‑health patient journeys from raw electronic health record narratives. It temporally classifies clinical events in unstructured discharge summaries without explicit timestamps, producing 15,891 tagged events from 52 summaries and correcting 629 errors to create verified gold‑standard timelines. The framework then generates temporally grounded summaries, compressing each source by 1.52×, and scales to produce 1,000 silver‑standard timelines for training, showing that instruction tuning improves event extraction, temporal tagging, and summarization across models.

The paper introduces a digital‑twin framework that simulates opinion dynamics in real Twitter networks by assigning agents attributes such as persona, emotions, centrality, stubbornness, and influence, and using Mistral‑7B to update opinions based on memory and social exposure. Validation on COVID‑19 and U.S. election 2020 datasets shows the framework reproduces opinion trajectories, reducing prediction error by over 50% compared to classical baselines, and improves structural alignment and polarization dynamics. Ablation studies reveal that agent attributes, memory, and social exposure all contribute to predictive fidelity, with agent attributes being the most critical.

Elastic Spectral State Space Models (ES-SSM) are a train‑once, export‑many sequence modeling framework that achieves elasticity by spectrally approximating the state‑space operator. The method builds on Hankel spectral filtering, using fixed spectral channels to represent long‑range token mixing and combining input‑adaptive gates with budget dropout to enable reliable deployment across different resource budgets. ES‑SSM is evaluated on byte‑level language modeling, Long Range Arena, Speech Commands V2, and offline reinforcement learning, showing that a single trained model can be truncated to competitive compact models while maintaining smooth quality‑cost curves across a wide range of truncation levels.

The paper introduces Poodle, a prototype for just‑in‑time model replacement (JITR) that automatically swaps a large language model with a cheaper, task‑specific model when a recurring task is detected. Poodle reduces inference time by up to 7.5× and saves over $2,200 per 1 M requests compared to a flagship hosted LLM, while maintaining competitive accuracy. The authors argue that model search and transfer learning are essential for efficiently identifying and fine‑tuning these custom models.

The paper introduces CalfVO, a monocular visual odometry system that operates without camera intrinsics, test‑time optimization, bundle adjustment, or loop closure. Using a transformer, it predicts relative poses with separate rotation and translation confidences over overlapping image windows, then aggregates these predictions via a confidence‑weighted module to produce a single trajectory. CalfVO achieves the highest accuracy among calibration‑free methods across five benchmarks and runs at 53 FPS, outperforming all baselines.

The paper introduces a 202-scenario benchmark to evaluate how large language models (LLMs) handle safety-critical authorization decisions for vehicle voice commands. It tests two local open-weight models and three API-based LLMs, finding alignment scores ranging from 40.1% to 89.1% and noting persistent false execution errors. The study concludes that structured LLM decisions alone are insufficient for safety, recommending an independent enforcement layer to verify tool permissions and vehicle-state constraints before any vehicle function is invoked.

The paper evaluates three approaches—LLM-Z3 full replanning, IPyHOPPER hierarchical repair, and iTIMO local-revision—for revising travel itineraries after disruptions such as flight cancellations or hotel unavailability. Using two TREK-derived benchmark sets (500 single-disruption cases and 200 compound-disruption cases), the study compares effectiveness, plan stability, and computational cost. Results show LLM-Z3 with Gemini achieves the highest compound-disruption success, IPyHOPPER nearly matches single-disruption success while preserving more of the original itinerary, and iTIMO makes fewer edits but consumes more tokens, offering practical guidelines for balancing feasibility recovery, commitment preservation, and computational cost.

The study compares human deliberation in Wason selection tasks with large language model (LLM) agent groups that are seeded with participants’ pre-discussion beliefs. Across various scoring definitions, human consensus rates ranged from 24.0% to 57.0%, whereas LLM agents consistently achieved higher consensus, with gaps of 34–44 percentage points in two sensitivity analyses. Even when early stopping was removed or memorizable answers were eliminated, LLM groups still reached near-unanimous agreement, often on incorrect answers, indicating that simulated consensus does not reflect collective accuracy.

KoNeoBench is a curated dataset designed to evaluate large language models’ understanding of Korean neologisms. It contains 1,785 recently attested Korean words from online news since 2020, each accompanied by usage examples, word‑formation analyses, and dictionary‑style definitions. The authors define four evaluation tasks, report results from recent models and a human baseline, and find that current LLMs struggle with recovering source components, distinguishing semantic categories, and generating accurate definitions.

SCICONVBENCH is a benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on multi‑turn clarification tasks in computational science. It focuses on two key abilities: eliciting missing information (disambiguation) and resolving contradictory requests (inconsistency resolution) across four domains—fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, materials science, and partial differential equations. The benchmark pairs a structured task ontology with a rubric‑based evaluation framework, measuring LLM performance in clarification behavior, conversational grounding, and final‑specification fidelity, and reveals that even top models only resolve about 52.7% of disambiguation cases in fluid mechanics while often making ungrounded assumptions.

The paper investigates how reinforcement learning can be effectively applied to diffusion models for visual tasks, focusing on the role of likelihood estimation. By systematically separating policy‑gradient objectives, likelihood estimators, and rollout sampling schemes, the authors find that using an evidence lower bound (ELBO) based likelihood estimator computed from the final generated sample is the key factor for stable and efficient RL optimization, outweighing the choice of loss function. Experiments on SD 3.5 Medium across multiple reward benchmarks confirm that this approach improves GenEval scores from 0.24 to 0.95 in 90 GPU hours, outperforming existing methods such as FlowGRPO and the current state‑of‑the‑art without reward hacking.

The paper introduces TriDim, a reusable block that preserves the three EEG axes—channel, short‑term temporal, and long‑term temporal—by applying feed‑forward transformations and cross‑axis attention. Stacking these blocks yields TriDimEEG, a standalone EEG decoder that outperforms fifteen other models on eight datasets, achieving a 4.3% relative accuracy gain. Replacing Transformer blocks in existing EEG foundation models with TriDim blocks improves downstream accuracy by 7.4% on average while reducing parameters by 17.0% to 47.3%.

The paper introduces a simulation-driven framework for diagnosing transformer faults using dissolved-gas analysis. It employs a variational quantum classifier (VQC) with a two-qubit representation, domain-aware feature modeling from Duval geometry, and a hybrid ZX-YY feature map to capture nonlinear gas interactions. Extensive simulation, noise-aware emulation, and limited hardware tests show high diagnostic accuracy, strong generalization, and robustness to realistic noise while using minimal quantum resources.
