arXiv:2608. 17223v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Financial-news direction prediction has become a popular NLP benchmark, yet reported gains depend critically on whether the train-test split is chronological or random, i.

arXiv:2608. 16893v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Expert surveys are widely used in security research to study practitioner workows and decision-making, yet recruiting domain experts - especially in Security Operations Centres (SOCs), where analysts face high workload, burnout and confidentiality constraints - is difficult and often results in small samples.

arXiv:2608. 17124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Combining the answers a large language model (LLM) samples for a question into one decision is a test-time information fusion problem, usually solved by majority voting.

arXiv:2608. 18058v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous LLM agents that converse on a user's behalf are an emerging design pattern in matching platforms, yet their viability depends on a condition rarely examined: users must accept not only delegating conversation to an agent, but also receiving agent-mediated communication from others.

arXiv:2608. 17168v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning has become a standard technique and feature for contemporary LLMs; however, its application and quality in the context of demanding legal-oriented tasks, such as legal case forecasting, remain under explored.

arXiv:2608. 16978v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Turning a frontier vision-language model into a robot policy usually means fine-tuning it to emit an action representation it never saw in pretraining, which throws away much of the reasoning that made the model worth reaching for.
