Recent approaches often rely on in-context learning to prompt Large Language Models (LLMs) with multimodal context in a zero-shot or few-shot manner. However, we observe that directly concatenating heterogeneous visual descriptions and retrieved knowledge into long, unstructured prompts often degrades reasoning performance, due to both excessive irrelevant context and the lack of explicit relational structure. In this paper, we propose an LLM-based Structured Context Reasoning (SCoRe) framework that infers both explicit and implicit relationships for prediction. SCoRe consists of three stages: Context Acquisition, which generates diverse visual notes and retrieves explicit knowledge via an efficient two-stage multimodal retrieval strategy; Context Selection, which filters relevant visual, explicit, and implicit knowledge using LLM-guided selection; and Context Compression, which performs Relational Logic Distillation (RLD) to transform raw text into explicit entity-relation triplets. These relational triplets serve as a concise and structured prompt for final answer prediction. Extensive experiments on the OK-VQA and A-OKVQA benchmarks demonstrate that SCoRe consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

In this work, we develop a computational pipeline for recognizing animated characters in these films, and use it to test several hypotheses about gender representation in a corpus of 224 popular animated movies. We find that while the overall representation of female characters in animated films largely tracks with those of live-action films (over the period 1980-2025), we see stark differences between the representation of human characters (much greater representation among women and girls) and non-humans (largely male). Contrary to past work on Disney, we do not see female characters declining in antagonist roles in animated films, and characters who are women and girls are much more likely to share scenes together than their live action contemporaneous counterparts.

Every year, it causes a large number of deaths worldwide. Although many deep learning models can detect tuberculosis from chest X-rays quite accurately, severe domain shift across datasets makes the task challenging. Different imaging protocols, patient demographics, and equipment across domains make the task of generalization difficult. In real-world settings, a model may perform well on one dataset but show a noticeable drop in performance when tested on another. In this work, we address this domain adaptation challenge through a few-shot scaling study. A controlled cross-dataset evaluation is presented in this paper using TBX11K as the source domain and the Mendeley TB dataset as the target domain. It is investigated how varying the number of target samples affects model performance under three training regimes: frozen backbone adaptation, full fine-tuning of a source-pretrained DenseNet121 model, and training from scratch. The results indicate that the model can perform well even with limited data and can achieve 98.36\% accuracy with just 75 labeled samples per class. The adaptation curves demonstrate how fine-tuning effectively mitigates domain shift. These findings establish full fine-tuning of pretrained models as a highly effective and practical strategy for mitigating domain shift in low-resource clinical deployment scenarios.

One of the most challenging quality-control activities is sewing-line inspection, where defects such as broken stitches and skipped stitches are difficult to detect consistently through manual inspection. Human-based inspection is often affected by fatigue, subjective judgement, and inconsistent performance, resulting in defect leakage, rework, and reduced production efficiency. This study presents the development and validation of an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based visual inspection system for garment sewing-line quality control. The system utilizes Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to detect sewing defects and was initially trained using black fabric and black sewing thread samples. Experimental testing was conducted on black, red, dark green, light blue, silver, and fluorescent yellow fabrics. The results demonstrated successful detection of jump sewing-line defects on black, red, and dark green materials, while performance limitations were observed for broken sewing-line defects and fabrics with significantly different visual characteristics, including light blue, silver, and fluorescent yellow colours. These findings indicate that model accuracy is strongly influenced by the diversity of training data and the ability to generalize across different fabric and thread colours.

Aligning generated videos with human preferences is a key criterion for evaluating generation quality. Despite significant progress in visual quality, three key challenges remain. First, the reliability of reward signals is constrained by the quality of human preference data, which is often affected by subjective noise and bias. Second, standard scalar reward models collapse multi-aspect human preferences into a single value, leading to the loss of dynamic trade-offs across multiple preference dimensions. Third, in policy optimization, the widely adopted KL divergence imposes primarily local constraints and may fail to capture the global structure of human preferences. To address these challenges, we propose a unified preference-aware learning framework for video generation. First, we introduce elite-guided filtering to calibrate preference data and construct reliable supervision for reward model training. We then model video quality as a multidimensional reward distribution to capture the uncertainty inherent in human preferences, and use the Wasserstein distance to align the learned reward distribution with the empirical human preference distribution. Finally, we introduce Wasserstein-based distributional alignment into GRPO, guiding policy optimization to better match the global structure of human preferences over videos. Experiments on reward modeling and video generation demonstrate that our approach improves the reliability of reward signals and the perceptual consistency of generated videos.

In this report, we introduce EditStream: a unified framework for interactive video generation and editing. EditStream unifies multiple video creation and manipulation tasks within a single DiT-based model through flexible task-specific conditioning, and further transforms it into a fast, few-step autoregressive model for efficient streaming. It supports Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, Video-to-Video, Editing Propagation, Reference-guided Video Editing, and Camera Pose Change, enabling flexible control over video generation, transformation, and editing within one system. To make the unified model practical for interactive use, we develop a two-stage distillation approach that combines Velocity Moment Matching (VMM) with autoregressive unrolling. VMM matches conditional velocity moments at student-reached intermediate states to preserve generation quality and motion, while unrolling exposes the student to its own autoregressive predictions to improve temporal stability. Together, they alleviate common challenges in few-step autoregressive video generation, including over-saturation, degraded motion, temporal instability, and complex training. EditStream provides a practical and scalable solution that bridges high-quality diffusion-based video models with interactive creative workflows.

While invaluable, analyzing and documenting these scans is labor-intensive, prompting efforts to automate key steps like the classification and segmentation of anatomical structures to identify tooth types and associated pathologies. In this article, we propose an approach to automation that leverages persistent homology, a framework from topological data analysis that studies the shape of data by identifying features like connected components, holes, and voids across multiple scales. Persistent homology, together with a support vector machine, allows us to classify teeth in a CBCT scan and to perform diagnostics. Our method advances the state of the art, reaching average accuracy scores of 97.67% for tooth-labeling and 96.77% for diagnostic tasks, outperforming a CNN trained on the same data with accuracy of 70.27% and 86.67%, respectively.

As these systems move from demonstrations to deployed products, practitioners repeatedly encounter the same operational failures. We systematize these failures through a hands-on evaluation of ten widely used static, dynamic, cloud, orchestration, and AI red-teaming tools for unattended pipelines. We introduce a four-dimensional Integration Friction Index that separates one-time engineering cost from recurring organisational, legal, and maintenance cost. We then derive quantitative regularities that explain recurring failure modes. Modelling an agentic security system as stochastic LLM policies wrapped by a deterministic mediator, we show that long-lived sessions lose resident evidence with phase count, while short-lived sub-agents extend the usable horizon according to the compression ratio between raw evidence and its summary. We show that a two-stage verdict cascade multiplies scorer likelihood ratios, but provides little benefit when scorer errors correlate. We show that treating unevaluable outcomes as attack failures biases downstream measurements toward evasive and severe responses. We formulate planner-versus-worker model routing as a knapsack problem and derive a closed-form execution cap for heavy-tailed tools, eta* = alpha v/c. Finally, we show why scope and budget enforcement cannot be delegated to system prompts: prompts do not constrain what actually executes. Inspectra, our implemented platform, serves as a worked instantiation, with mechanisms labelled shipped, partial, or planned, including those that did not work.

Existing debiasing approaches typically compare token probabilities between the original and biased generations during decoding, but they are fundamentally limited by their reliance on a single, stereotyped viewpoint and fail to account for the diversity of social perspectives. Inspired by the social science principle that diversity fosters fairness, we propose Counterfactual Ensemble Decoding (CED), a novel framework that constructs multi-group counterfactual perspectives within the visual representation space and integrates them during decoding to promote equitable model behavior. CED first performs counterfactual steering in the visual space by identifying semantic directions associated with each social group and generating counterfactual representations along these directions, thereby offering diverse perspectives that disrupt stereotypical narratives. During decoding, CED locates the decoder layer exhibiting the greatest divergence among these perspectives and ensembles their token distributions using uncertainty-aware weights, prioritizing high-confidence tokens from different groups to yield a more balanced probability distribution that guides fairer generation. Extensive experiments on three social bias evaluation benchmarks demonstrate that \tool achieves substantial improvements over leading baselines, reducing bias by up to 47.97% across scenarios involving occupations, descriptors, and persona traits. Moreover, CED also preserves the core capabilities of the original model with minimal degradation.

This study presents a multi-method computational analysis of 87,617 messages from sixteen Telegram channels, eight pro-Israel and eight pro-Palestine, spanning May 2021 to June 2026 and covering multiple conflict escalations. It combines sentiment analysis, three stance detection methods drawn from distinct paradigms (keyword matching, zero-shot DeBERTa via natural language inference, and a fine-tuned BERTweet model), and a framing analysis, all evaluated against 736 manually annotated messages. The fine-tuned model performed best (72.1% accuracy, 0.721 macro F1 under 5-fold cross-validation), outperforming both label-free baselines by 8 to 11 points; the baselines stalled in the low-to-mid 60s, indicating a hard ceiling for stance detection not adapted to in-domain language. The central finding emerges only when sentiment, stance, and framing are read together: the two communities deploy the same death- and victim-related vocabulary in opposite emotional registers, pro-Israel channels predominantly neutral and report-style, pro-Palestine channels markedly more negative, consistent with writing from the distinct discourse positions of acting party and affected party.

We quantify this overhead across nine production tokenizers and five languages with standardized Cyrillic and Latin representations, covering 8.37 million word forms. On a corpus benchmark, Ukrainian shows 68-121% token overhead on modern tokenizers and 220% on the older cl100k, measured through full-text fertility on the BrUK and Brown corpora. Overhead is negatively associated with Cyrillic vocabulary allocation in the subset with independently verified English baselines, although the association is not statistically significant (Spearman rho = -0.536, p = 0.215, n = 7). We evaluate two mitigation strategies. LLMLingua-2 reduces Ukrainian input length by 47-49% on an e-commerce RAG benchmark of 1,536 products and 145 queries, with no compression-induced value losses among 80 retrievable cases. A balanced byte-level BPE tokenizer trained with a 200K vocabulary cap, converging at 158,184 actual entries, reduces the held-out UK/EN ratio from 2.22x to 1.30x. Romanization increases Ukrainian token counts by 2-19% on most tokenizers. Across the five languages, tokenization efficiency favors the script more prevalent in web data. These findings indicate that training data allocation contributes to Cyrillic tokenization overhead and that mitigation is possible at both inference and tokenizer-design stages.

This paper investigates a critical question: does subjecting LLMs to greater interaction scaffolding make sycophancy better or worse? Across 4,800 veracity judgments (200 statements $\times$ 6 models $\times$ 4 conditions), we find that the interaction scaffolding characteristic of agentic systems (feedback loops, reconsideration checkpoints, and iterative refinement) systematically amplifies sycophantic behavior. Multi-turn interaction, user pressure, and iterative self-refinement each provide additional opportunities for models to drift toward agreement, and this drift coincides with a mean accuracy drop of $-6.3$ percentage points, establishing the capitulation as harmful rather than corrective. More capable models show larger amplification effects, a troubling inversion of expectations. We introduce the concept of agentic sycophancy amplification (ASA) and two novel metrics: capitulation rate and sycophantic capitulation rate. Our results indicate that as AI systems acquire greater autonomy, sycophancy becomes compounding rather than merely persistent. Systems designed with human oversight loops may inadvertently create the conditions for this drift.

Attribution serves as a bulwark against model hallucination and as a means for users to verify the credibility of model outputs. Yet, it is unclear how humans and LLMs evaluate citations when comparing outputs, a process central to reward modeling and modern LLM post-training. This paper studies the role of citations in the preferences of human judges and four open-source LLMs within the context of scientific question answering, leveraging mixed effects models to investigate the influence of citations on pairwise judgments. Among our key findings are (1) that humans prefer more diverse citations but fewer overall, and (2) that LLMs show some citation-related preferences compared to humans, despite lacking access to the sources, but these preferences depend on the data and specific models. We further discuss the implications of our findings for preference data collection.

Existing benchmarks primarily focus on translation, transcription, or generic sentiment analysis, leaving critical aspects of culturally grounded language understanding unmeasured. We introduce Wazobia Eval, a benchmark for evaluating Nigerian Pidgin emotion understanding, sarcasm detection, and cultural reasoning. The benchmark is built on a manually annotated dataset containing over 550 examples and a 16-category emotion taxonomy designed to capture culturally specific emotional registers that are not represented in conventional sentiment frameworks. Wazobia Eval provides standardized evaluation protocols and benchmark tasks for assessing model performance on nuanced Nigerian language understanding. We present the benchmark design, annotation methodology, taxonomy development process, and preliminary pilot evaluation results. Our goal is to provide foundational evaluation infrastructure for Nigerian language AI and establish a reproducible benchmark for future research.

This paper presents KSE-Web, an analysis of hybrid retrieval and LLM-assisted query expansion for Khmer semantic search. We construct the dataset from approximately 17K candidate Khmer titles and retain 3K cleaned full-text Khmer documents after filtering, normalization, deduplication, and document-length control. The dataset includes 300 manually reviewed user-style Khmer search queries and silver relevance labels with partial human verification. We evaluate character n-gram BM25, multilingual dense retrieval, hybrid BM25+dense retrieval, and LLM-assisted query expansion using Qwen2.5 models. Experimental results show that BM25 achieves the strongest overall performance, reaching 0.943 Recall and 0.876 nDCG. Hybrid BM25+dense retrieval performs comparably, achieving 0.929 Recall and 0.871 nDCG, while dense retrieval alone performs lower. LLM-assisted query expansion does not outperform non-expanded retrieval; however, Qwen2.5-3B produces substantially stronger expanded-query results than Qwen2.5-0.5B, suggesting that LLM size and expansion quality matter for low-resource Khmer retrieval. Our analysis further shows that direct LLM expansion can introduce topic drift, generic terms, and noisy reformulations, while simple filtering may remove useful semantic cues. These findings highlight both the potential and limitations of LLM-assisted retrieval for Khmer semantic search and provide a foundation for future Khmer retrieval datasets with stronger human-verified annotations and Khmer-aware retrieval models. The dataset and documentation will be made available at github.com/back-kh/KhmerSemantic-Search.

Incremental interpretation, therefore, depends not only on what is represented but also on how the representational state evolves under new evidence. We distinguish two structurally different update operators that arise in narrative interpretation: revision-driven update and delayed elaboration. Revision-driven updates retract or replace previously committed structure in response to a contradiction and are therefore non-monotonic. Delayed elaboration, by contrast, refines initially underspecified elements through constraint addition without retracting prior commitments, yielding monotonic extension of the interpretive state. Although both operators may alter how earlier material is understood, they impose fundamentally different structural requirements on state transitions. Using visual narratives as a diagnostic domain, we demonstrate how a structured narrative representation can explicitly separate committed from underspecified content and support both update operators during incremental construction. Through a worked example, we show how delayed elaboration enables monotonic refinement of interpretive state, while revision requires non-monotonic correction. We discuss the broader relevance of this structural distinction for incremental reasoning and hybrid symbolic-neural systems.

Ro-man Urdu, a low-resource language used in Pakistan and among Urdu-speaking communities worldwide, presents additional challenges because of its informal grammar, inconsistent sen-tence structures, and multiple variations in word spellings. This research aims to identify the most effective techniques for hate speech classification in such low-resource settings with limited data. To address this, the study investigates and compares the latest approaches, in-cluding prompt tuning, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) using LoRA, and prompt en-gineering, under various experimental configurations. To achieve this objective, four exper-iments were designed. The first experiment involved direct inferencing with LLMs without any fine-tuning, to evaluate how well these models understand Roman Urdu in a zero-shot setting, especially given limited data. The second experiment utilized parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) with LoRA, which updates only a small subset of parameters, thereby reducing computational cost. The third experiment explored prompt tuning with both mixed and manually crafted prompts, using very small sets of training examples relative to the entire dataset, making it computationally efficient as well. Finally, the fourth experiment applied prompt engineering through zero-shot and few-shot learning, relying solely on care-fully designed instruction prompts for classification without further training.

IBM's Spyre accelerator PCIe inference card built for LinuxONE and the broader IBM Z family changes that equation. In this paper we lay out a six-subsystem RAG architecture that runs entirely on IBM LinuxONE, using Spyre for generative inference, the Telum II on-chip accelerator for lightweight classification tasks, and Red Hat OpenShift for container orchestration. Every piece of the pipeline from query intake through vector retrieval, prompt assembly, LLM inference, compliance filtering, and response delivery stays within a single LinuxONE system, so sensitive data never has to leave the hardware perimeter. We walk through the design choices behind each subsystem, dig into the Spyre compilation and serving stack, explain how LinuxONE's Secure Execution technology extends confidential-computing guarantees to AI workloads, and benchmark the architecture against cloud-GPU and on-premises alternatives. Early analysis points to end-to-end RAG latencies under two seconds and up to a 20x reduction compared to off-platform inference, all while keeping the strong encryption and auditability posture that regulated industries actually need.

Work on this harness sensitivity reports it as aggregate score variance, leaving unexamined which items the variance falls on and whether they are the items that separate one model from the next. We treat the evaluation harness of large language models (LLMs) as an independent variable and resolve its effect to single items. We introduce the \textit{fragility grid}: 12 open-weight instruction-tuned LLMs from 4 families answer the same 3{,}679 items from 4 benchmarks (ARC, HellaSwag, MMLU, TruthfulQA) under 26 equally defensible harness configurations, recording one correctness bit for every model, item, and configuration. The comparison is matched, since the items, the weights, and the greedy decoding stay fixed while only the harness varies. Under the grid a model's score is a band rather than a point: gemma4-31b scores between 31 and 89 percent depending only on the harness. Three results follow. On the items that two adjacent models both answer stably the pair is tied, and config-fragile items carry 95.7 percent of a pair's gap on average. Four of the 12 models reach rank one under some configuration, so the harness selects the winner. Item discrimination, the property that benchmark-compression methods maximize, correlates with fragility at 0.28 (95 percent CI 0.25 to 0.30), so compression keeps the fragile items rather than removing them. The scoring choice, not the option order that protocols usually fix, is the load-bearing axis. We release the per-item records and the analysis script, from which every number regenerates on a CPU in seconds, and we position the fragility grid as a check a leaderboard can run before it reports an order.

A contributing factor is that students have little structured visibility into their own study behaviour, and existing productivity tools record activity without interpreting it. This paper presents RIACT (Record, Insight, Analyze, Coach, Track), a web-based application that combines structured study session logging with a hybrid AI architecture to surface personalized insights and early burnout signals. Students log sessions by location and time; the system computes net focus time by accounting for breaks, detects burnout signals through transparent, deterministic rules operating on week-over-week behavioural comparisons, and uses a large language model - constrained to a fixed output schema - to contextualize patterns and generate personalized recommendations. The design embeds responsible AI principles throughout: warnings are governed by auditable rules rather than model judgement, all output is framed as an observation rather than a diagnosis and data collection is limited to self-logged behavioural fields. We describe the system's design rationale, situate it within the literature on student burnout and explainable AI in education and propose an evaluation framework for validating its behavioural signals against established burnout instruments.

Exposing all tool descriptions to an LLM agent, or selecting tools only by vector similarity, causes two costly failures: over-fetching, which increases payload size, token use, and latency, and under-fetching, which omits fields needed to answer the query. We present SchemaRouter, a lightweight routing layer that represents tools, endpoints, parameters, response fields, domain concepts, units, provenance, and license policies as a schema graph. Given a query, SchemaRouter emits an executable tool plan specifying which tools to call and which fields to retrieve. A small LLM extracts intent, concepts, and source constraints, while field selection is deterministic over the graph through intent-group projection and concept-field matching with an alias layer. On a materials-science benchmark of 110 queries, SchemaRouter achieves answer accuracy of 0.71, matching fetch-everything within overlapping confidence intervals and exceeding prompt-all's 0.66, though their intervals overlap. It uses 227 retrieved-context tokens versus 2,066 for fetch-everything and achieves 2.7x lower end-to-end latency than prompt-all. It also obtains the best tool-exact rate of 0.93 and parameter validity of 1.0. SchemaRouter grounds provenance and license information in 62 percent of answers, compared with approximately 0 percent for all baselines. We also find that minimizing selected-field count is counterproductive: it reduces answer accuracy to 0.56 with negligible token savings, while recall-preserving projection restores top accuracy. SchemaRouter improves efficiency, schema-size-independent scaling, and verifiable provenance/license-grounded answering at competitive accuracy.

We introduce LitReview Arena, a battle-style evaluation platform with a structured protocol tailored to literature review quality: domain experts with AI paper-writing experience compare anonymized drafts, are matched to topics within their expertise, and provide dimension-wise outcomes over five literature-review-specific criteria. From this protocol, we collect approximately 3k expert judgments, each containing five dimension-wise outcomes, and show that even the strongest current systems win only 23.0% of decisive matches against human drafts on overall utility, while agentic LLMs such as Sonar Deep Research substantially outperform base language models by over 60%. We further find that existing LLM-as-a-judge methods are substantially misaligned with human experts (Spearman's rho=0.467), especially on synthesis-heavy criteria such as paper structure and research suggestions. Using the collected preference data, we provide an expert-calibrated evaluator, LitJudge, which improves alignment to Spearman's rho=0.78, comparable to inter-expert consistency; code and data are publicly available at https://github.com/VanellopeAsher/LitReview-Arena.

The advances of GenAI have actuated practitioners to use AI-synthesized data for training next-generation AI models. Undeniably, using synthetic data has alleviated the increasing stringent demand for data supply. Unfortunately, it also introduces a new critical issue: in a self-consuming cycle between model and data, the model ultimately collapse, raising more trustworthiness concerns to GenAI. In recent years, increasingly more studies have investigated the phenomenon of model collapse (MC) and explored potential solutions to mitigate it. However, the review of the phenomenon of MC still remains blank. To fill this gap, this paper provides an up-to-date overview of these studies for consolidating and reviewing the progress of MC in different application scenarios and countermeasures for mitigating MC. We also highlight challenges and future research opportunities.

When a runtime releases, blocks, defers, redacts, or escalates an individual output, AIREP records that decision as a single signed object that any party can check offline, independent of the runtime that produced it. A record carries the decision as one of a closed set of verbs under a stated policy basis, references its input, output, and evidence by hash rather than by value, and declares both what its evidence covers and what it does not. Records form a SHA-256 hash chain that binds each record to its position, so that tampering and gaps are detectable by recomputation. Vendor-, model-, and domain-specific content is confined to a single optional namespace, and a mechanical neutrality test keeps the shared format free of it. A reference implementation and a two-language conformance kit are described. Some implementation issues are considered, and problems such as alignment of the canonical form across implementations, freshness witnesses, and multi-runtime chains are exposed. The format is offered for adoption by any AI runtime that records governance decisions.

KVBoost introduces a dual-hash keying scheme that separates positional identity (prefix hash) from content identity (content hash), supporting both exact and approximate cache matches. To address attention boundary errors from independently cached chunks, KVBoost employs two repair strategies: SelectiveRecompute, which re-encodes boundary regions, and CacheBlendRecompute, which identifies and recomputes high-deviation tokens after a probe pass. The system further incorporates asymmetric KV quantization (int8/int4), adaptive chunk boundary splitting, and importance-weighted eviction under a fixed memory budget. Evaluated on Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B over 1,000 bug-localization samples, KVBoost achieves a 4.49x reduction in time-to-first-token (142.4 ms vs.\ 639.1 ms) and outperforms prefix caching by 16%, with no loss in accuracy (99.2% vs.\ 99.1%). KVBoost provides a practical, memory-bounded inference acceleration layer compatible with RoPE-based models without architectural modification.
