ReRank: Listwise Reranking with Reasoning-Conditioned Retrieval Heads

Ruiyi Yan, Zhuoyuan Mao, Yugo Murawaki +1

Attention-based rerankers score each candidate by the attention mass that retrieval heads route to it from the question, but the question, serving as a fixed query, carries limited…

A Comprehensive Survey on Linguistic Steganography: Methods, Countermeasures, Evaluation, and Challenges

Ruiyi Yan, Chenhui Chu, Zhongliang Yang +1

Linguistic steganography hides secret messages in natural language text. Large language models (LLMs) have reshaped the field, but a systematic account of how these scattered advan…

Scaling LLM Reasoning from Minimal Labels: A Semi-Supervised Framework with a Lightweight Verifier

Keizo Kato, Chenhui Chu, Yugo Murawaki +1

For the development of Large language models (LLMs), recent approaches to generating pseudo intermediate reasoning have shown remarkable progress. But they typically rely on large…

Anchored Sliding Window: Toward Robust and Imperceptible Linguistic Steganography

Ruiyi Yan, Shiao Meng, Yugo Murawaki

Linguistic steganography based on language models typically assumes that steganographic texts are transmitted without alteration, making them fragile to even minor modifications. W…

Efficient Provably Secure Linguistic Steganography via Range Coding

Ruiyi Yan, Yugo Murawaki

Linguistic steganography involves embedding secret messages within seemingly innocuous texts to enable covert communication. Provable security, which is a long-standing goal and ke…

Can We Trust LLM Detectors?

Jivnesh Sandhan, Harshit Jaiswal, Fei Cheng +1

The rapid adoption of LLMs has increased the need for reliable AI text detection, yet existing detectors often fail outside controlled benchmarks. We systematically evaluate 2 domi…

How Does Cognitive Bias Affect Large Language Models? A Case Study on the Anchoring Effect in Price Negotiation Simulations

Yoshiki Takenami, Yin Jou Huang, Yugo Murawaki +1

Cognitive biases, well-studied in humans, can also be observed in LLMs, affecting their reliability in real-world applications. This paper investigates the anchoring effect in LLM-…

CAPE: Context-Aware Personality Evaluation Framework for Large Language Models

Jivnesh Sandhan, Fei Cheng, Tushar Sandhan +1

Psychometric tests, traditionally used to assess humans, are now being applied to Large Language Models (LLMs) to evaluate their behavioral traits. However, existing studies follow…

Investigating Cost-Efficiency of LLM-Generated Training Data for Conversational Semantic Frame Analysis

Shiho Matta, Yin Jou Huang, Fei Cheng +2

Recent studies have demonstrated that few-shot learning allows LLMs to generate training data for supervised models at a low cost. However, the quality of LLM-generated data may no…

Beyond English-Centric LLMs: What Language Do Multilingual Language Models Think in?

Chengzhi Zhong, Fei Cheng, Qianying Liu +5

In this study, we investigate whether non-English-centric LLMs, despite their strong performance, `think' in their respective dominant language: more precisely, `think' refers to h…

Principal Component Analysis as a Sanity Check for Bayesian Phylolinguistic Reconstruction

Yugo Murawaki

Bayesian approaches to reconstructing the evolutionary history of languages rely on the tree model, which assumes that these languages descended from a common ancestor and underwen…

Addressing Segmentation Ambiguity in Neural Linguistic Steganography

Jumon Nozaki, Yugo Murawaki

Previous studies on neural linguistic steganography, except Ueoka et al. (2021), overlook the fact that the sender must detokenize cover texts to avoid arousing the eavesdropper's…
