TEMPER: Testing Emotional Perturbation in Quantitative Reasoning

Atahan Dokme, Benjamin Reichman, Larry Heck

Large language models are trained and evaluated on quantitative reasoning tasks written in clean, emotionally neutral language. However, real-world queries are often wrapped in fru…

Emotion is Not Just a Label: Latent Emotional Factors in LLM Processing

Benjamin Reichman, Adar Avsian, Samuel Webster +1

Large language models are routinely deployed on text that varies widely in emotional tone, yet their reasoning behavior is typically evaluated without accounting for emotion as a s…

Emotions Where Art Thou: Understanding and Characterizing the Emotional Latent Space of Large Language Models

Benjamin Reichman, Adar Avsian, Larry Heck

This work investigates how large language models (LLMs) internally represent emotion by analyzing the geometry of their hidden-state space. The paper identifies a low-dimensional e…

Emotional RAG LLMs: Reading Comprehension for the Open Internet

Benjamin Reichman, Adar Avsian, Kartik Talamadupula +2

Queries to large language models (LLMs) can be divided into two parts: the instruction/question and the accompanying context. The context for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) s…
