A new framework provides a statistical method for estimating the likelihood of catastrophic failures in large language models in adversarial conversations.
Isabelle/HOL's balance of expressiveness, automation, and scalability enabled the world's first formally verified cloud hypervisor.
A single, optimized LLM unifies what previously required multiple models and can serve as a reasoning partner for medical chemists.
The Antibody Developability Benchmark is powered by one of the most diverse antibody datasets in public literature, enabling transparent performance evaluation for AI-guided antibody design.
Low-rank adaptation, data augmentation, and chain-of-thought reasoning are among the techniques enabling accent-free polyglot outputs, improved expressiveness, and reliable synthesis.

FSE 20262026Prime Video regularly conducts load tests to simulate the viewer traffic spikes seen during live events such as Thursday Night Football as well as video-on-demand (VOD) events such as Rings of Power. While these stress tests validate system capacity, they can sometimes miss service behaviors unique to real event traffic. We present a graph-based anomaly detection system that identifies under-represented

2026With context windows of millions of tokens, Long-Context Language Models (LCLMs) can encode entire document collections, offering a strong alternative to conventional retrieval augmented generation (RAG). However, it remains unclear whether fine-tuning strategies can improve long-context performance and translate to greater robustness under KV-cache compression techniques. In this work, we investigate which
-
2026The role of reasoning in Audio Large Language Models remains widely underexplored, as introducing a reasoning process often degrades rather than improves performance during inference, a phenomenon we term test-time inverse scaling, where longer reasoning chains yield progressively worse results. We demonstrate that this stems not from fundamental limitations of reasoning itself, but from inadequate training
-
2026Large Language Models (LLMs) can produce catastrophic responses in conversational settings that pose serious risks to public safety and security. Existing evaluations often fail to fully reveal these vulnerabilities because they rely on fixed attack prompt sequences, lack statistical guarantees, and do not scale to the vast space of multi-turn conversations. In this work, we propose C3LLM, a novel, principled

2026Modern language models (LMs) still rely on fixed, pre-defined subword tokenizations. Once a tokenizer is trained, the LM can only operate at this fixed level of granularity, which often leads to brittle and counterintuitive behaviors even in otherwise strong reasoning models. We introduce ByteFlow Net, a new hierarchical architecture that removes tokenizers entirely and instead enables models to learn their
