On the Structural Limits of Machine Learning Decision Systems: An Information-Theoretic, Interaction-Based, and Stochastic-Dynamical Perspective
Nestor R. Barraza, Gabriel Pena
Machine learning procedures are commonly evaluated in terms of predictive accuracy and computational efficiency. However, their achievable performance is fundamentally constrained…
Human-LLM Alignment in Language Attitudes Toward Non-Native Japanese
Naho Orita, Hayato Ogawa, Daisuke Kawahara
Large language models (LLMs) increasingly evaluate human writing in high-stakes domains such as hiring and academic assessment, putting non-native speakers at particular risk. Draw…
Detecting Sensitive Personal Information in Japanese Pre-Training Corpora for Large Language Models
Rei Minamoto, Yusuke Oda, Daisuke Kawahara
Sensitive personal information can appear in large-scale pre-training corpora for large language models (LLMs). Detecting and filtering such information is therefore essential to e…
WAON: A Large-Scale Japanese Image-Text Dataset for Cultural Adaptation in Contrastive Vision-Language Models
Issa Sugiura, Shuhei Kurita, Yusuke Oda +3
Contrastive vision-language models have achieved remarkable progress through large-scale pretraining. Recent work has shown that removing English-only caption filters and pretraini…
ShapleyLaw: A Game-Theoretic Approach to Multilingual Scaling Laws
Xuyang Cao, Qianying Liu, Chuan Xiao +7
In multilingual pretraining, the test loss of a pretrained model is heavily influenced by the proportion of each language in the pretraining data, namely the \textit{language mixtu…
JAMMEval: A Refined Collection of Japanese Benchmarks for Reliable VLM Evaluation
Issa Sugiura, Koki Maeda, Shuhei Kurita +3
Reliable evaluation is essential for the development of vision-language models (VLMs). However, Japanese VQA benchmarks have undergone far less iterative refinement than their Engl…
