Explainability and Interpretability Methods for Large Language Models: An Exploratory Systematic Mapping Study

This systematic mapping study analyzes 1,252 research papers on explainability methods for large language models, revealing that most techniques require inaccessible internal model data and that evidence regarding human utility and real-world deployment remains critically scarce.

Large Language Models Across the Clinical Trial Lifecycle: A Scoping Review of Applications, Methodologies, and Validation Gaps

This scoping review of 71 studies published between 2023 and 2025 reveals that while large language models are increasingly applied to clinical trial recruitment and data analysis, their transition to routine practice is hindered by fragmented evidence, a lack of comparative benchmarks, and insufficient prospective validation.

Event-triggered activity notifications improve collective information recovery after communication disruption in large language model teams

This study demonstrates that implementing event-triggered activity notifications significantly enhances collective information recovery in large language model teams following communication disruptions, increasing success rates from 2.5% to 76.25% compared to teams relying solely on agent-initiated checks.

Redundancy-Triggered Relocation: Decentralized Coordination of Local Searchers for Static and Dynamic Multimodal Optimization

This paper proposes Redundancy-Triggered Relocation (RTR), a decentralized coordination mechanism where local searchers autonomously restart upon detecting fitter teammates within a limited perception radius, effectively reducing redundant convergence and significantly improving performance on dynamic multimodal optimization benchmarks without requiring a central controller or problem-specific parameter tuning.
