- Topology-Informed Graph Transformer \ Transformers have revolutionized performance in Natural Language Processing and Vision, paving the way for their integration with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). One key challenge in enhancing graph transformers is strengthening the discrimi… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 15:42
- VotIE: Information Extraction from Meeting Minutes \ Municipal meeting minutes record key decisions in local democratic processes. Unlike parliamentary proceedings, which typically adhere to standardized formats, they encode voting outcomes in highly heterogeneous, free-form narrative text t… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 14:24
- Miner:Mining Intrinsic Mastery for Data-Efficient RL in Large Reasoning Models \ Current critic-free RL methods for large reasoning models suffer from severe inefficiency when training on positive homogeneous prompts (where all rollouts are correct), resulting in waste of rollouts due to zero advantage estimates. We in… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 09:52
- Inverse Q-Learning Done Right: Offline Imitation Learning in $Q^π$-Realizable MDPs \ We study the problem of offline imitation learning in Markov decision processes (MDPs), where the goal is to learn a well-performing policy given a dataset of state-action pairs generated by an expert policy. Complementing a recent line of… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 16:44
- Scaling Vision Language Models for Pharmaceutical Long Form Video Reasoning on Industrial GenAI Platform \ Vision Language Models (VLMs) have shown strong performance on multimodal reasoning tasks, yet most evaluations focus on short videos and assume unconstrained computational resources. In industrial settings such as pharmaceutical content u… \ Source • arXiv cs.LG • 13:42
- RelayLLM: Efficient Reasoning via Collaborative Decoding \ Large Language Models (LLMs) for complex reasoning is often hindered by high computational costs and latency, while resource-efficient Small Language Models (SLMs) typically lack the necessary reasoning capacity. Existing collaborative app… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 18:56
- ArcAligner: Adaptive Recursive Aligner for Compressed Context Embeddings in RAG \ Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) helps LLMs stay accurate, but feeding long documents into a prompt makes the model slow and expensive. This has motivated context compression, ranging from token pruning and summarization to embedding-b… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 16:44
- All That Glisters Is Not Gold: A Benchmark for Reference-Free Counterfactual Financial Misinformation Detection \ We introduce RFC Bench, a benchmark for evaluating large language models on financial misinformation under realistic news. RFC Bench operates at the paragraph level and captures the contextual complexity of financial news where meaning eme… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 15:39
- Reward Shaping to Mitigate Reward Hacking in RLHF \ Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is essential for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values. However, RLHF is susceptible to \emph{reward hacking}, where the agent exploits flaws in the reward function rather… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 15:33
- Qomhra: A Bilingual Irish and English Large Language Model \ Large language model (LLM) research and development has overwhelmingly focused on the world's major languages, leading to under-representation of low-resource languages such as Irish. This paper introduces \textbf{Qomhrá}, a bilingual Iris… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 11:04
- LANGSAE EDITING: Improving Multilingual Information Retrieval via Post-hoc Language Identity Removal \ Dense retrieval in multilingual settings often searches over mixed-language collections, yet multilingual embeddings encode language identity alongside semantics. This language signal can inflate similarity for same-language pairs and crow… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 10:36
- Qwen3-VL-Embedding and Qwen3-VL-Reranker: A Unified Framework for State-of-the-Art Multimodal Retrieval and Ranking \ In this report, we introduce the Qwen3-VL-Embedding and Qwen3-VL-Reranker model series, the latest extensions of the Qwen family built on the Qwen3-VL foundation model. Together, they provide an end-to-end pipeline for high-precision multi… \ Source • arXiv cs.CL • 09:36
