arXiv:2603.07755v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A geometric hallucination taxonomy distinguishes three failure types -- center-drift (Type~1), wrong-well convergence (Type~2), and coverage gaps (Type~3) -- by their signatures in embedding cluster space. Prior work found Types~1 and~2 indistinguishable in full-dimensional contextual...

arXiv:2603.07792v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly influence global digital ecosystems, yet their potential to perpetuate social and cultural biases remains poorly understood in underrepresented contexts. This study presents a systematic analysis of representational biases in seven...

arXiv:2603.06603v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data duplication during pretraining can degrade generalization and lead to memorization, motivating aggressive deduplication pipelines. However, at web scale, it is unclear what constitutes a ``duplicate'': beyond surface-form matches, semantically equivalent documents (e.g. translations) may...

arXiv:2603.06617v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce \textbf{Evo}, a duality latent trajectory model that bridges autoregressive (AR) and diffusion-based language generation within a continuous evolutionary generative framework. Rather than treating AR decoding and diffusion generation as separate paradigms, Evo reconceptualizes...

arXiv:2603.06722v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Protein language models often take into consideration the alignment between a protein sequence and its textual description.

arXiv:2603.06394v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can now translate a researcher's plain-language goal into executable computation, yet scientific workflows demand determinism, provenance, and governance that are difficult to guarantee when an LLM decides what runs. Semi-structured interviews...

arXiv:2603.05743v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Although artificial intelligence (AI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) systems are often presented as universal solutions, their design remains predominantly text-first, underserving primarily oral languages and indigenous communities. This position paper uses Guaran\'i, an official and...

arXiv:2603.06424v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have recently reshaped Automated Essay Scoring (AES), yet prior studies typically examine individual techniques in isolation, limiting understanding of their relative merits for English as a Second Language (L2) writing. To...

Although computers and digital technologies have existed for many decades, their capabilities today have changed dramatically.
