MARVIS: Modality Adaptive Reasoning over VISualizations

Benjamin Feuer, Lennart Purucker, Oussama Elachqar +1

Predictive applications of machine learning often rely on small (sub 1 Bn parameter) specialized models tuned to particular domains or modalities. Such models often achieve excelle…

Towards Provably Unbiased LLM Judges via Bias-Bounded Evaluation

Benjamin Feuer, Lucas Rosenblatt, Oussama Elachqar

As AI models progress beyond simple chatbots into more complex workflows, we draw ever closer to the event horizon beyond which AI systems will be utilized in autonomous, self-main…

ButterflyQuant: Ultra-low-bit LLM Quantization through Learnable Orthogonal Butterfly Transforms

Bingxin Xu, Zhen Dong, Oussama Elachqar +1

Large language models require massive memory footprints, severely limiting deployment on consumer hardware. Quantization reduces memory through lower numerical precision, but extre…

When Judgment Becomes Noise: How Design Failures in LLM Judge Benchmarks Silently Undermine Validity

Benjamin Feuer, Chiung-Yi Tseng, Astitwa Sarthak Lathe +2

LLM-judged benchmarks are increasingly used to evaluate complex model behaviors, yet their design introduces failure modes absent in conventional ground-truth based benchmarks. We…

Do LLMs "know" internally when they follow instructions?

Juyeon Heo, Christina Heinze-Deml, Oussama Elachqar +5

Instruction-following is crucial for building AI agents with large language models (LLMs), as these models must adhere strictly to user-provided constraints and guidelines. However…

Can a Single Model Master Both Multi-turn Conversations and Tool Use? CoALM: A Unified Conversational Agentic Language Model

Emre Can Acikgoz, Jeremiah Greer, Akul Datta +6

Large Language Models (LLMs) with API-calling capabilities enabled building effective Language Agents (LA), while also revolutionizing the conventional task-oriented dialogue (TOD)…
