Inference-Time Mitigation of Adversarial Political Bias in Large Language Models

arXiv:2608. 14629v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) become the mainstay for information retrieval and summarization tasks, ensuring that they are always non-partisan and invulnerable to political bias is a critical step towards safer and more trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Toward Better Assessment of LLMs' Performance in Clinical Error Detection

Automated detection of errors in clinical documentation is a promising application of large language models (LLMs), yet decisions to deploy such models rest on benchmarks that evaluate each clinical note in isolation. Error-detection benchmarks are typically constructed by injecting errors into notes, such that each erroneous note has a natural counterpart.

SimpleOPD: Simple Tokenizer-Agnostic On-Policy Distillation for Long-Context Reasoning

arXiv:2608. 14277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) offers a promising way to transfer reasoning capabilities from stronger teacher models, but applying it to long-context reasoning teachers and short-context students introduces practical challenges, including tokenizer mismatch, teacher-student distribution mismatch, response length explosion, and training instability.

Leveraging Few-Shot Learning and Large Language Models for Analyzing Blood Pressure Variations Across Biological Sex from Scientific Literature

arXiv:2402. 01826v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Current blood pressure (BP) technologies and standards were established decades ago, and these standards are still used worldwide today, often without adjusting BP readings for individual demographic factors such as sex and age.
