M-GATE: Multilingual Grammar, Accuracy in Translation, and Efficiency Benchmark for Large Language Models

arXiv:2608. 03803v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual language models are deployed across a hundred or more languages, yet most benchmarks test whether a model can perform a task _in_ a language rather than whether it commands the language itself, conflating fluency with proficiency.

LLMs Can Annotate Attribution Graphs

arXiv:2608. 02632v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Circuit tracing is an exciting technique for revealing the internal computation of language models, but it requires a time-intensive manual step of grouping individual features or MLP neurons into supernodes.

Deferred Exposure of Future Trajectories for Verifiable Reasoning in Autonomous Driving VLMs

arXiv:2608. 01755v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models for autonomous driving (AD) increasingly utilize chain-of-thought (CoT) supervision to enhance the reasoning capabilities of their Vision-Language Model (VLM) components, yet existing annotation pipelines commonly expose the teacher model to the logged ground-truth (GT) future trajectory.

Moving the Safety Barrier: Dynamic Routing Adaptive Alignment Against White-Box Attacks

arXiv:2608. 02674v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the widespread deployment of large foundation models (LFMs) in open environments, safety threats are shifting from black-box jailbreaks toward white-box attacks that directly identify and disrupt internal safety neurons or routes.

HERO: Hierarchical Evidential Reasoning Optimization for Radiology Report Generation via Reason-then-Summarize

arXiv:2601. 03321v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have substantially advanced Radiology Report Generation (RRG), yet aligning them through reinforcement learning (RL) remains challenging due to heterogeneous medical supervision.
