This paper introduces Hubscan, an open-source security scanner that utilizes a multi-detector architecture to identify and mitigate hubness poisoning attacks in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, achieving high recall rates in detecting adversarial hubs across various vector databases and real-world benchmarks.
This paper proposes Alignment-Aware Masked Learning (AML), a training strategy that improves Referring Image Segmentation by quantifying pixel-level vision-language alignment to mask unreliable regions during optimization, thereby achieving state-of-the-art performance without architectural changes or inference overhead.
The paper introduces a minimal, open-source agentic baseline for automated theorem proving that achieves competitive performance against state-of-the-art systems through iterative refinement and library search, demonstrating superior sample efficiency and cost-effectiveness while serving as a reference for future research.
This paper identifies and quantifies "Defensive Refusal Bias," a safety alignment failure in large language models where legitimate cybersecurity defenders are disproportionately denied assistance for critical tasks due to the presence of security-sensitive keywords, a problem exacerbated by explicit authorization attempts and current reliance on semantic similarity rather than intent reasoning.
The paper introduces CARE, an evidence-grounded agentic framework that enhances clinical accountability and reasoning accuracy in multi-modal medical AI by decomposing tasks into specialized modules for entity proposal, pixel-level localization, and evidence-based reasoning, thereby outperforming state-of-the-art models on medical VQA benchmarks.
The paper proposes SEED-SET, a Bayesian experimental design framework that combines objective evaluations and subjective stakeholder preferences via hierarchical Gaussian Processes to efficiently and interpretably benchmark the ethical alignment of autonomous systems in high-stakes domains.
The paper introduces BrandFusion, a novel multi-agent framework that enables seamless brand integration in text-to-video generation by combining an offline brand knowledge base with an online iterative refinement process to balance semantic fidelity, brand recognizability, and contextual naturalness.
This paper presents the first comprehensive evaluation of parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) for multitask code analysis, demonstrating that a single shared PEFT module can match or surpass full fine-tuning performance while significantly reducing computational and storage costs, provided that tasks are strategically grouped based on factors like complementarity and stability.
This paper proposes Targeted Reasoning Unlearning (TRU), a novel framework that utilizes a reasoning-based unlearning target to guide models in precisely removing specific undesirable knowledge while preserving general capabilities and enhancing robustness against attacks.
This paper introduces AraModernBERT, an Arabic adaptation of the ModernBERT encoder that leverages transtokenized initialization and native long-context modeling up to 8,192 tokens to achieve significant improvements in both language modeling and downstream discriminative tasks.
MoE-SpAc is an efficient inference framework for Mixture-of-Experts models on heterogeneous edge devices that repurposes speculative decoding as a predictive sensor for memory management, achieving significant throughput improvements through dynamic workload balancing and asynchronous execution.
This empirical study demonstrates that large language models exhibit a Dunning-Kruger-like cognitive bias, where poorly performing models display significantly higher overconfidence and worse calibration than their more accurate counterparts.
This paper quantifies hallucinations in medical textbook-based QA by demonstrating that LLaMA-70B-Instruct hallucinated in nearly 20% of answers despite high plausibility, and found that lower hallucination rates generally correlate with higher clinician-rated usefulness across models.
This paper proposes a closed-loop framework that optimizes Large Language Model-driven Feature Transformation by evolving and selecting diverse, task-verified transformation trajectories via chain-of-thought reasoning, thereby outperforming existing methods in generating effective feature operators for downstream predictive tasks.
This paper presents a pipeline that bridges mechanistic interpretability and natural language explanations by identifying causally important attention heads in GPT-2 Small, generating high-quality explanations via LLMs, and evaluating their faithfulness to reveal that while explanations can be sufficient, they often lack comprehensiveness due to distributed backup mechanisms.
The paper introduces the System Hallucination Scale (SHS), a lightweight, human-centered psychometric instrument validated by 210 participants to rapidly evaluate Large Language Models' hallucination-related behaviors from a user perspective, distinct from automatic detection metrics.
This paper proposes a two-stage architecture combining LLaMA-3.1-8B-Instruct for NDA segmentation and a fine-tuned Legal-Roberta-Large for clause classification, achieving high precision (ROUGE F1 of 0.95 and weighted F1 of 0.85) to automate the analysis of complex Non-Disclosure Agreements.
This paper introduces PoultryLeX-Net, a domain-adaptive dual-stream transformer framework enhanced with poultry-specific lexicons and topic modeling, which significantly outperforms existing baseline models in accurately analyzing stakeholder sentiment within the global poultry industry.
This paper introduces TAMUSA-Chat, a research-oriented framework that enables academic institutions to build responsible, domain-adapted conversational AI systems through supervised fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, and systematic evaluation, while providing a publicly available codebase to support reproducible experimentation and ethical deployment.
This paper introduces the Contextual Emotional Inference (CEI) Benchmark, a dataset of 300 human-validated scenarios designed to evaluate large language models' ability to infer intended meaning beyond literal semantics by navigating ambiguous utterances across diverse power dynamics and pragmatic subtypes.
