Counterfactual Residual Data Augmentation for Regression

arXiv:2606.28460v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data-driven modeling in real-world regression tasks often suffers from limited training samples, high collection costs, and noisy observations. Inspired by the impact of data augmentation in vision and language, we propose a novel Counterfactual Residual Data Augmentation (CRDA) technique for tabular regression. Our key insight is that once a regressor has modeled the systematic component of the data, the remaining noise can be viewed as an invaria

Generating in the Limit with Infinitely Many Hallucinations

arXiv:2606.28354v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The classic paradigm of language identification in the limit models learning as a game between an adversary, who reveals strings from an unknown target language, and a learner tasked with identifying that language. The recently introduced framework of language generation in the limit shifted the objective to better reflect modern language modeling, requiring the learner to produce valid, unseen strings from the target language.

Extracting Knowledge from an Arabic-English Machine-Readable Dictionary Using Information Extraction

arXiv:2606.28457v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Natural language processing (NLP) applications need large and rich amount of linguistic knowledge. Furthermore, electronic language sources such as dictionaries, encyclopedia, and corpora became available. So, automatic methods are emerged to extract lexical information from those sources to overcome the knowledge acquisition bottleneck. We presented a method to automatically extract lexical information from a machine-readable version of the Arabic

Developmental Trajectories of Situation Modeling and Mentalizing in Transformer Language Models

arXiv:2606.28524v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work suggests that Large Language Models (LLMs) are sensitive to the belief states of agents described by text, as measured by the false belief task (FBT), yet persistent concerns of construct validity remain. We adopt a **developmental perspective**, tracing the pattern of mental state reasoning behavior -- and likely **preconditions** for this behavior -- across multiple training stages in the Olmo2 and Pythia language model suites. We fin
