How we reproduced three attacks that extract private training data from AI models and the cryptographic defenses that stop them.
A new framework provides a statistical method for estimating the likelihood of catastrophic failures in large language models in adversarial conversations.
Isabelle/HOL's balance of expressiveness, automation, and scalability enabled the world's first formally verified cloud hypervisor.
A single, optimized LLM unifies what previously required multiple models and can serve as a reasoning partner for medical chemists.
The Antibody Developability Benchmark is powered by one of the most diverse antibody datasets in public literature, enabling transparent performance evaluation for AI-guided antibody design.

2026Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) are a powerful alternative to matrix factorization for recommendation. A common technique in VAE-based collaborative filtering (CF) consists in applying binary input masking to user interaction vectors, which improves performance but remains underexplored theoretically. In this work, we analyze how collaboration arises in VAE-based CF and show it is governed by latent proximity

ACL 2026 Findings2026Recent Long-Context Language Models (LCLMs) can process hundreds of thousands of tokens in a single prompt, enabling new opportunities for knowledge-intensive multi-hop reasoning by integrating large sets of retrieved documents or, in some cases, directly all necessary information. However, simply feeding more documents into the context window fails to capture how evidence should be connected. We address

ACL 2026 Findings2026Hallucinations in Speech Large Language Models (SpeechLLMs) pose significant risks, yet existing detection methods typically rely on goldstandard outputs that are costly or impractical to obtain. Moreover, hallucination detection methods developed for text-based LLMs do not directly capture audio-specific signals. We investigate four attention-derived metrics: AUDIORATIO, AUDIOCONSISTENCY, AUDIOENTROPY,

ICLR 2026 Workshop on Logical Reasoning of Large Language Models2026Finny is a multi-agent system that demonstrates how large language models can perform structured decision-making by applying domain-specific rules to multiple related scenarios. Leveraging foundation models with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the system applies Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for intelligent forecast refinement at scale. Finny employs a two-stage architecture: a knowledge base

2026Aligning Large Language Models (LLM) to address subjectivity and nuanced preference levels requires adequate flexibility and control, which can be a resource-intensive and time-consuming procedure. Existing training-time alignment methods require full re-training when a change is needed and inference-time ones typically require access to the reward model at each inference step. We introduce MEAV, an inference-time
