PhantomBench is a new benchmark of 60K+ non-existent terms showing language models hallucinate at rates up to 86.7 percent even when inputs assume the concepts exist.
Introduces EURO-5K dataset from 136 EU acts and benchmarks full fine-tuning vs QLoRA for BERT and LLM models on reporting obligation extraction, reporting 0.89 F1 with limited gains from legal pretraining except under parameter-efficient adaptation.
Expert evaluation of LLMs on Japanese bar exam writing tasks shows clear limitations in open-ended legal reasoning and frequent hallucinations unsupported by law or precedent.
CERA fine-tunes a dense retriever with triplet contrastive learning plus attention alignment to human rationales, claiming better retrieval effectiveness and faithfulness on clinical trial reports than Contriever and standard hard-negative baselines.
LeMUQ improves AUROC by 3.8% on average for uncertainty quantification in multimodal retrieval-augmented generation by processing multimodal probability signals with a finetuned model.
FuzzAgent deploys specialized agents that collaborate on harness generation, execution, and crash triage to evolve fuzzing campaigns, delivering 45-191% more branch coverage than four baselines on 20 C/C++ libraries and surfacing 102 real bugs.
Legal AI benchmarks must evaluate robustness to pro se litigant inputs rather than expert-preprocessed ones to support access-to-justice claims.
LLM reasoning traces and post-hoc explanations increase false trust in incorrect predictions, whereas contrastive dual explanations enhance users' ability to distinguish correct from incorrect AI outputs.
Sycophancy is a boundary failure between social alignment and epistemic integrity, captured by a three-condition framework plus taxonomy of targets, mechanisms, and severity.
A neuro-symbolic system converts legal clauses into deterministic typed graphs for consistent, auditable adjudication that cuts compute costs by over 90% versus direct large reasoning model use.
Rulemapping uses expert symbolic scaffolds to constrain LLMs, raising precision on §130(1) German hate-speech classification from 0.34-0.49 to 0.80-0.86 while preserving recall of 0.82-0.89.
Position paper proposing Model Science as a discipline to systematically analyze AI model behavior beyond benchmarks, drawing analogies from cognitive science, neuroscience, medicine, and agriculture.
