Automated Event Log Generation from Unstructured Text Using Finetuned LLMs
arXiv:2609.01320v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Process mining (PM) provides a powerful framework for discovering and optimizing operational processes from event data. However, the efficacy of PM techniques is strictly p…
Exploring Sparse Autoencoders in Text-Based Causal Confounding Adjustment
arXiv:2609.01322v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In many settings, studying causal questions based on text data requires adjusting for confounding information within texts. Yet there is a tradeoff in constructing text rep…
VerTox: Verifiable Reward-Guided Corpus Poisoning Against Neural Ranking Models
arXiv:2609.01325v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural ranking models have become core components of modern information retrieval systems and important building blocks of AI systems such as retrieval-augmented generation…
Hidden Services Protocol for Mixnets
arXiv:2609.01326v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mix networks (mixnets) provide network-level privacy by routing each communication packet through a sequence of intermediaries, called mixnodes, that randomly delay and cry…
Connectome-Based Modelling Reveals Orientation Maps in the Drosophila Optic Lobe
arXiv:2609.01330v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The ability to extract oriented edges from visual input is a core computation across animal vision systems. Orientation maps, long associated with the layered architecture …
Bandits in Prod: Hyperparameter Optimization at Inference Time
arXiv:2609.01335v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many production systems can assess a configuration only by using it on live requests and observing noisy feedback. Modern agentic systems are a prominent example, with infe…
LEAP: Likelihood Elicitation and Aggregation for LLM-based Probabilistic Forecasting
arXiv:2609.01337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based forecasting systems have improved on real-world tasks such as financial markets and sports outcomes, largely through stronger search and tool use. Many systems st…
mzCache: On-Device LLM Memory Management under Multitasking
arXiv:2609.01338v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-device mobile Large Language Model (LLM) inference is gaining significant attention. However, mobile devices operate in highly dynamic multitasking environments where us…
Integrating Traffic Noise Emission Modelling into Variable Speed Limit Control
arXiv:2609.01339v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Road traffic noise remains a major environmental challenge, yet most speed management strategies are static and do not respond to short-term variations in traffic noise emi…
Probing Factual Knowledge Transfer with Training Data Interventions
arXiv:2609.01341v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Do multilingual language models transfer factual knowledge across languages during continued pretraining, or do they mostly recall facts learned directly from the target-la…
SMELT: Scaling Laws for Compute-Matched MoE Looped Transformers
arXiv:2609.01343v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Looped Transformers increase effective depth by iterating a shared block of layers, but most evaluations compare at fixed model size, conflating architectural advantage wit…
ExBind: A Controlled Diagnostic Benchmark for Visual-to-Executable Correspondence
arXiv:2609.01344v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal coding and editing systems must map a visible or semantic referent to the exact executable object that can be edited. A wrong reference may select a valid but in…
Cheap Verifiers, Large Blind Spots: Measuring the Reliability Cost of Cost-Saving Cascades
arXiv:2609.01345v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inference cascades cut cost by answering most queries with a cheap model and escalating a hard tail to a frontier model that acts as verifier. A natural extension closes th…
Collision-based logic in Lenia and its composition boundary
arXiv:2609.01348v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuous cellular automata such as Lenia spontaneously produce lifelike, self-propelling patterns, including the Orbium glider, which travels in a straight line while pul…
Constructive Port-Hamiltonian Energy Shaping Design of Dispatchable Virtual Oscillators in Grid-Forming Converters
arXiv:2609.01349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Port-Hamiltonian (PH) theory offers a passivity-based framework for grid-forming control, yet conventional dispatchable virtual oscillator control (dVOC) does not naturally…
Scalable Rao-Blackwellized Online Planning for High-Dimensional POMDPs
arXiv:2609.01351v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Online planning under uncertainty remains a fundamental challenge for robotic systems operating in partially observable environments with high-dimensional state spaces. Whi…
CHARM: Character Hallucination for Multicultural Role Play Benchmark
arXiv:2609.01352v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Role-playing large language models (LLMs) are expected to adopt a character's style while also respecting that character's knowledge boundaries. Prior evaluations detect ch…
