The Analyst in the Prompt: Role, Retrieval, and Memory Biases in LLM Financial Analysis

Ahmed Asaad, Amr Mohamed, Yang Zhang +1

Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly use user context such as memory, profiles, and role prompts to personalize their responses. This personalization can affect evidence-based…

Every Wrong Answer Counts: Option-Level Psychometrics for LLM Multiple-Choice Benchmarks

Xiao Fei, Yang Zhang, Sarah Almeida Carneiro +1

Most multiple-choice question (MCQ) benchmarks evaluate Large Language Models (LLMs) only by whether they select the correct answers. This binary scoring treats all incorrect respo…

CARTE: A Benchmark for Mapping Language Model Knowledge Across France

Sarah Almeida Carneiro, Christos Xypolopoulos, Xiao Fei +2

We introduce CARTE (Culturally Anchored Regional-Territorial Evaluation), a multiple-choice benchmark for evaluating the ability of large language models (LLMs) to discriminate fin…

TrustLDM: Benchmarking Trustworthiness in Language Diffusion Models

Yichuan Mo, Yukun Jiang, Yanbo Shi +4

The rapid development of Language Diffusion Models (LDMs) challenges the dominant position of auto-regressive competitors in language processing. However, their flexible, any-order…

Trustworthy Recommendation in the Era of Large Language Models: Opportunities and Challenges

Bohao Wang, Yu Cui, Zhenxiang Xu +13

The field of recommender systems (RS) is currently undergoing two profound paradigm shifts. From the perspective of objectives, the goal has shifted beyond mere recommendation accu…

GreekMMLU: A Native-Sourced Multitask Benchmark for Evaluating Language Models in Greek

Yang Zhang, Mersin Konomi, Christos Xypolopoulos +6

Large Language Models (LLMs) are commonly trained on multilingual corpora that include Greek, yet reliable evaluation benchmarks for Greek-particularly those based on authentic, na…

Fast-Decoding Diffusion Language Models via Progress-Aware Confidence Schedules

Amr Mohamed, Yang Zhang, Michalis Vazirgiannis +1

Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) offer a promising alternative to autoregressive models, but their practical utility is severely hampered by slow, iterative sampling. We pre…

UDA: Unsupervised Debiasing Alignment for Pair-wise LLM-as-a-Judge

Yang Zhang, Cunxiang Wang, Lindong Wu +4

Pairwise evaluation of Large Language Models (LLMs) is a common paradigm, but it is prone to preference bias, where judges systematically favor certain outputs, such as their own.…

Uncovering Cross-Linguistic Disparities in LLMs using Sparse Autoencoders

Richmond Sin Jing Xuan, Jalil Huseynov, Yang Zhang

Multilingual large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong cross-linguistic generalization, yet medium to low resource languages underperform on common benchmarks such as ARC-Challen…

Lost in the Mix: Evaluating LLM Understanding of Code-Switched Text

Amr Mohamed, Yang Zhang, Michalis Vazirgiannis +1

Code-switching (CSW) is the act of alternating between two or more languages within a single discourse. This phenomenon is widespread in multilingual communities, and increasingly…

Beyond Random Sampling: Efficient Language Model Pretraining via Curriculum Learning

Yang Zhang, Amr Mohamed, Hadi Abdine +2

Curriculum learning-organizing training data from easy to hard-has improved efficiency across machine learning domains, yet remains underexplored for language model pretraining. We…

A Hitchhiker's Guide to Scaling Law Estimation

Leshem Choshen, Yang Zhang, Jacob Andreas

Scaling laws predict the loss of a target machine learning model by extrapolating from easier-to-train models with fewer parameters or smaller training sets. This provides an effic…

ProgressGym: Alignment with a Millennium of Moral Progress

Tianyi Qiu, Yang Zhang, Xuchuan Huang +3

Frontier AI systems, including large language models (LLMs), hold increasing influence over the epistemology of human users. Such influence can reinforce prevailing societal values…
