Lesioned Multimodal Language Models Reproduce Aphasic Picture-Naming Patterns

arXiv:2607. 11621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aphasia following stroke commonly produces systematic naming errors with characteristic profiles, but whether general-purpose language models not designed for clinical simulation can reproduce these patterns remains untested.

Can Agentic Trading Systems Pay for Their Own Intelligence?

arXiv:2607. 10286v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly used in trading systems, where model reasoning, tool use, and continual decisions incur costs that are expected to produce trading value.

BiasLab: A Multilingual Dual-Framing Framework for LLM Bias Measurement, Applied to Workplace and HR Contexts

arXiv:2601. 06861v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Background: Large language models (LLMs) harbor systematic biases that are particularly consequential in workplace and HR contexts, where their outputs increasingly influence hiring, job design, and organizational decisions.

The Universal Language of CSI:Unifying Wireless Sensing Across Devices and Environments

arXiv:2607. 09727v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: WiFi sensing based on Channel State Information (CSI) promises ubiquitous, device-free perception, yet current research remains trapped in a Tower of Babel - fragmented into isolated silos where models are tailored to specific hardware dialects, fixed environments, and narrow tasks.

From Direction to Magnitude: How Multimodal Instruction-Tuning Reorganizes the Geometric Encoding of Identity-Specifying Prompts in Transformer Hidden States

arXiv:2607. 09842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate whether identity-specifying system prompts produce statistically distinguishable geometric fingerprints in the hidden-state trajectories of four open-weight transformer language models spanning four post-training regimes: no training (Gemma-4-E4B base), multimodal RLHF (Gemma-4-E4B-it), RL distillation (DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B), and SFT (Qwen2.

BRIDGE: Bridging Reasoning In Distillation Gap Elimination via Structure-Aware Masking

arXiv:2602. 17686v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has significantly improved LLMs' mathematical problem-solving capabilities, but distilling such capabilities into smaller models remains challenging due to the capacity mismatch between verbose teachers and compact students.
