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.

A French OSCE Dialogue Dataset and Controllable Virtual Patient System for Clinical Training

arXiv:2606.28526v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The clinical and communication skills of medical students are commonly assessed through Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), which consist of brief scenario-driven simulations of doctor-patient interactions. However, training is often limited by the low availability of human standardized patients, motivating the development of realistic virtual patients (VPs). To address this gap, we introduce a French OSCE dialogue dataset comprisin

Legal Domain Adaptation of Modern BERT Models

We further pre-train ModernBERT on all US court opinions using the masked language modeling objective. Although ModernBERT has been trained on roughly 500x more data than original BERT, we still find that this model benefits from further pre-training and domain adaptation in the legal domain: we report significant improvements compared to vanilla ModernBERT on all datasets

Turn-Averaged SAEs for Feature Discovery and Long-Context Attribution

arXiv:2606.28548v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have become a useful tool for extracting interpretable features in language models. However, standard SAE architectures operate on individual token activations, meaning that the number of active features scales linearly with context length, and studying long model transcripts becomes difficult. We introduce turn-averaged SAEs, which represent a single Human or Assistant turn with a fixed number of features by learning to

Depth-Staggered Fibonacci Spacing for Sparse Attention: Static Schedules Beat Learned Dilation and Extrapolate Where Dense Attention Fails

arXiv:2606.28560v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study sparse self-attention in which each query attends to a dense local window plus a set of Fibonacci-spaced offsets, with a per-layer scalar alpha that compresses or expands the spacing. Across 21 language models trained under one matched recipe (60M parameters, 512 hidden, 16 layers, 426M tokens), we compare four ways of setting alpha across depth: fixed, per-layer learned, a static linear stagger, and a coprime (anti-gridding) reassignment

SEAD: Competence-Aware On-Policy Distillation via Entropy-Guided Supervision

arXiv:2606.28562v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) has a property absent in offline distillation and RL: teacher supervision quality depends on student competence. Incoherent rollouts yield noisy gradients; already-mastered tokens yield redundant ones. This creates waste at three scales (tokens, training phases, and prompts) yet existing methods supervise uniformly. We introduce SEAD, which uses entropy as a unified probe of this competence-dependent degradation at thre

Correct codes for the wrong reasons? validating LLMs as measurement instruments for theoretical constructs

arXiv:2606.28574v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When a large language model (LLM) codes a construct in text as a human annotator would, that agreement makes the LLM a reliable coder. Yet reliability leaves construct validity untouched. The instrument may be theory-naive, reaching the code through a correlate that meets none of the demands the construct's theory makes, and no current method tells that apart from genuine measurement. We propose grain calibration as a method that closes the gap. It

On the Necessity of a Liquid Substrate for Mesh Intelligence

Its competence rests on each agent folding the projections its peers emit into a single internal state, online, from observations that arrive at irregular, unscheduled times, on a substrate whose weights it cannot retrain. Any one of these constraints is tractable on its own; folding optimally under all three at once is not. We
