Hi-Q is a new framework for multi‑hop question answering that refines queries hierarchically based on evidence retrieved from a corpus. At each node it tests whether the current query unit is supported by evidence; if not, the node is expanded using a dependency‑preserving binary operator and verified for semantic coverage. The resulting query tree grows according to corpus support signals, and Hi‑Q achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on three multi‑hop QA benchmarks, outperforming both iterative retrieval and graph‑based baselines without constructing a corpus‑wide graph.

The study evaluates whether prompt‑token counts can reliably identify the lineage of large language models served via APIs. Using a frozen‑threshold approach on 24 labeled endpoint pairs, the authors find that token‑count consistency perfectly separates development pairs but only half of the holdout pairs meet the strict repeatability criteria, yielding moderate accuracy and perfect specificity. The results confirm token‑count consistency as a fingerprint of shared tokenization stacks but reject it as a standalone test for model‑family attribution.

Padàrtha is the first ontology‑grounded fine‑grained Named Entity Recognition benchmark for Classical Sanskrit, built on the Mahêbhárata epic. Its tag set, derived from the Nyáya‑Vai’séka ontological system, contains 18 fine‑grained categories under 10 nodes and maps to five standard coarse tags, ensuring compatibility with existing benchmarks. The dataset includes over 12.6K expert‑annotated entries and 108,335 entity mentions across 73,632 verses, plus a 5,000‑verse test set designed to challenge rare mentions, and the study compares generative NER models to traditional architectures, noting performance drops at finer granularity and difficulties with unseen entities.

EvoLen is a tokenization method for DNA language models that incorporates evolutionary information to prioritize functional sequence patterns such as regulatory motifs. It groups DNA sequences by cross-species evolutionary signals, trains separate BPE tokenizers for each group, merges vocabularies with a rule that favors preserved patterns, and uses length-aware decoding with dynamic programming. Experiments show EvoLen better preserves functional motifs, differentiates genomic contexts, and aligns with evolutionary constraints while matching or surpassing standard BPE on various DNALM benchmarks.
