Not Too Short, Not Too Long: How LLM Response Length Shapes People's Critical Thinking in Error Detection

This study reveals that while the correctness of LLM-generated reasoning is the primary driver of user accuracy in critical thinking tasks, medium-length explanations uniquely enhance users' ability to detect errors when the AI's reasoning is incorrect, suggesting that response length plays a nuanced role in shaping human critical evaluation.

How Private Are DNA Embeddings? Inverting Foundation Model Representations of Genomic Sequences

This study demonstrates that DNA foundation models (DNABERT-2, Evo 2, and NTv2) are vulnerable to model inversion attacks, where adversaries can reconstruct sensitive genomic sequences from shared embeddings with high accuracy, particularly for shorter sequences and per-token representations, thereby highlighting critical privacy risks in Embeddings-as-a-Service frameworks.
