Do Language Models Know When They'll Refuse? Probing Introspective Awareness of Safety Boundaries
arXiv:2604.00228v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are trained to refuse harmful requests, but can they accurately predict when they will refuse before responding? We investigate this question through a systematic study where models first predict their refusal behavior,...

Oblivion: Self-Adaptive Agentic Memory Control through Decay-Driven Activation
arXiv:2604.00131v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human memory adapts through selective forgetting: experiences become less accessible over time but can be reactivated by reinforcement or contextual cues. In contrast, memory-augmented LLM agents rely on "always-on" retrieval and "flat" memory storage, causing...
CuTeGen: An LLM-Based Agentic Framework for Generation and Optimization of High-Performance GPU Kernels using CuTe
arXiv:2604.01489v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-performance GPU kernels are critical to modern machine learning systems, yet developing efficient implementations remains a challenging, expert-driven process due to the tight coupling between algorithmic structure, memory hierarchy usage, and hardware-specific optimizations. Recent work...
OmniVoice: Towards Omnilingual Zero-Shot Text-to-Speech with Diffusion Language Models
arXiv:2604.00688v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present OmniVoice, a massive multilingual zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) model that scales to over 600 languages. At its core is a novel diffusion language model-style discrete non-autoregressive (NAR) architecture. Unlike conventional discrete NAR models that...
Criterion Validity of LLM-as-Judge for Business Outcomes in Conversational Commerce
arXiv:2604.00022v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-dimensional rubric-based dialogue evaluation is widely used to assess conversational AI, yet its criterion validity -- whether quality scores are associated with the downstream outcomes they are meant to serve -- remains largely untested. We...

DySCo: Dynamic Semantic Compression for Effective Long-term Time Series Forecasting
arXiv:2604.01261v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time series forecasting (TSF) is critical across domains such as finance, meteorology, and energy. While extending the lookback window theoretically provides richer historical context, in practice, it often introduces irrelevant noise and computational redundancy, preventing...

More Human, More Efficient: Aligning Annotations with Quantized SLMs
arXiv:2604.00586v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities advance, the demand for high-quality annotation of exponentially increasing text corpora has outpaced human capacity, leading to the widespread adoption of LLMs in automatic evaluation and annotation. However, proprietary...
