Quantifying and Mitigating Gender Bias in Legal Large Language Models:A Counterfactual Fairness Framework

This paper audits legal large language models for gender bias in China's wrongful-dismissal compensation calculations, revealing that counterfactual instability rather than directional bias is the primary failure mode, and proposes two effective remedies—Counterfactual Symmetric Calibration and Fairness-Constrained Fine-Tuning—to mitigate these errors by addressing missing formula knowledge.

A Disparity-Gated Vision-Language Prior for Metric Scale in Monocular Visual Odometry

This paper introduces C3, a disparity-gated vision-language prior that combines VLM-reported distances with unit-baseline triangulation of a tracked semantic anchor to achieve partial metric-scale recovery in monocular visual odometry, demonstrating improved performance over other non-ground-truth priors on KITTI sequences while highlighting specific conditions for reliability.

AI Mentoring in Entrepreneurship Education and Early-Stage Ventures: Design Architectures and Evaluation Gaps

This systematic literature review of 25 studies reveals that most AI mentoring tools for entrepreneurship rely on ungrounded conversational heuristics and lack persistent memory, creating a "cognitive offloading trap" where high user satisfaction correlates with diminished critical thinking and unmeasured cognitive development.

Data-Environment Coverage and the Path from Narrow to General AI:A Cyber-Physical-Social-ThinkingSurvey

This paper argues that the persistent limitations of current AI in causal reasoning, social cognition, and symbolic composition stem from a lack of diverse data environments rather than insufficient scale, demonstrating through a survey of eighty systems that integrating physical, social, and thinking-space signals is essential for advancing from narrow pattern recognition to general intelligence.
