QuanBench+: A Unified Multi-Framework Benchmark for LLM-Based Quantum Code Generation

Ali Slim, Haydar Hamieh, Jawad Kotaich +5

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for code generation, yet quantum code generation is still evaluated mostly within single frameworks, making it difficult to separ…

AraLingBench A Human-Annotated Benchmark for Evaluating Arabic Linguistic Capabilities of Large Language Models

Mohammad Zbeeb, Hasan Abed Al Kader Hammoud, Sina Mukalled +5

We present AraLingBench: a fully human annotated benchmark for evaluating the Arabic linguistic competence of large language models (LLMs). The benchmark spans five core categories…

Hala Technical Report: Building Arabic-Centric Instruction & Translation Models at Scale

Hasan Abed Al Kader Hammoud, Mohammad Zbeeb, Bernard Ghanem

We present Hala, a family of Arabic-centric instruction and translation models built with our translate-and-tune pipeline. We first compress a strong AREN teacher…

Reasoning Vectors: Transferring Chain-of-Thought Capabilities via Task Arithmetic

Mohammad Zbeeb, Hasan Abed Al Kader Hammoud, Bernard Ghanem

Large language models often require costly optimization, such as reinforcement learning, to master complex reasoning tasks. This work demonstrates that reasoning ability, once lear…

An Embarrassingly Simple Defense Against LLM Abliteration Attacks

Harethah Abu Shairah, Hasan Abed Al Kader Hammoud, Bernard Ghanem +1

Large language models (LLMs) are typically aligned to refuse harmful instructions through safety fine-tuning. A recent attack, termed abliteration, identifies and suppresses the si…

Beyond the Last Answer: Your Reasoning Trace Uncovers More than You Think

Hasan Abed Al Kader Hammoud, Hani Itani, Bernard Ghanem

Large Language Models (LLMs) leverage step-by-step reasoning to solve complex problems. Standard evaluation practice involves generating a complete reasoning trace and assessing th…

DiffCLIP: Differential Attention Meets CLIP

Hasan Abed Al Kader Hammoud, Bernard Ghanem

We propose DiffCLIP, a novel vision-language model that extends the differential attention mechanism to CLIP architectures. Differential attention was originally developed for larg…

On the Importance of Pretraining Data Alignment for Atomic Property Prediction

Yasir Ghunaim, Hasan Abed Al Kader Hammoud, Bernard Ghanem

This paper challenges the recent paradigm in atomic property prediction that links progress to growing dataset sizes and computational resources. We show that pretraining on a care…
