Retrieval-Augmented Linguistic Calibration

arXiv:2605.19344v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Linguistic cues such as "I believe" and "probably" offer an intuitive interface for communicating confidence, yet a generalisable, principled calibration framework for linguistic confidence expressions remains underexplored. In particular, co-occurring linguistic cues, contextual variation, and subjective audience interpretation pose unique challenges. We therefore model linguistic confidence as a distribution over plausible perceived...

Reasoning over Grammar: Can Synthetic Linguistic Reasoning Traces Enhance Low-Resource Machine Translation?

arXiv:2606.03782v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) offer a promising approach to machine translation (MT) for extremely low-resource languages by incorporating linguistic resources through in-context learning. However, LLMs often struggle to apply grammatical information effectively during translation. Inspired by recent progress in chain-of-thought reasoning, we investigate whether low-resource MT can benefit from structured intermediate steps of linguistic...

A Systematic Analysis of Linguistic Features in AI-Generated Text Detection Across Domains and Models

Announce Type: new Abstract: Interpretable linguistic features offer a promising approach for explaining why a given text appears machine-generated, particularly for non-expert users. However, existing findings on which features reliably indicate LLM-generated text remain fragmented across feature sets, models, and text domains. To address this gap, we conduct a large-scale empirical study assessing the robustness of linguistic signals for characterizing AI-generated text.

The Sword, Shield, and Achilles' Heel: Characterizing the Linguistic Inductive Bias of Large Language Models for Spatial Reasoning in Navigation Planning

Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM)-based navigation systems commonly construct explicit spatial representations (e.g., topological graphs, semantic raster maps) and translate them into textual descriptions as LLMs' inputs. However, the linguistic structures of such text-based spatial representations and the choices of contextual features (e.g., topology, geometry) they contain are often treated as neutral engineering decisions rather than key factors that shape LLMs'...

CLFEC: A New Task for Unified Linguistic and Factual Error Correction in paragraph-level Chinese Professional Writing

arXiv:2602.23845v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Chinese text correction has traditionally focused on spelling and grammar, while factual error correction is usually treated separately. However, in paragraph-level Chinese professional writing, linguistic (word/grammar/punctuation) and factual errors frequently co-occur and interact, while many draft-level errors are sparsely observable in published texts after editorial review, making unified correction both necessary and controlled...

Targeted Linguistic Analysis of Sign Language Models with Minimal Translation Pairs

arXiv:2604.27232v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Models of sign language have historically lagged behind those for spoken language (text and speech). Recent work has greatly improved their performance on tasks like sign language translation and isolated sign recognition. However, it remains unclear to what extent existing models capture various linguistic phenomena of sign language, and how well they use cues from the multiple articulators used in sign language (hands, upper body, face).

Linguistic Productivity in Large Language Models: Models Coerce, but do not Preempt

arXiv:2606.02953v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Usage-based theories of grammars posit that creative productivity of the structures of language is both bolstered and constrained by two distinct frequency signals: entrenchment, stemming from high frequency usage, and preemption, stemming from having never observed a particular linguistic structure in a context where one might expect that structure to appear. Large Language Models are also usage-based, in the sense that the structures of...

Symbolic Intermediaries as a Linguistic-Numerical Interface for LLM-Driven Geometric Reasoning

arXiv:2505.17607v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) display reasoning capabilities over linguistic and symbolic objects but have limited capabilities to directly interpret the continuous numerical outputs of physics simulators, e.g., distances, curvatures, and trajectories that resist discrete tokenisation. Across spatially grounded engineering reasoning tasks, from mechanism design to motion planning, this defines a fundamental gap, which limits the wider...

Why Thinking Hurts: Diagnosing and Rectifying Linguistic Inertia in Large Language Models for Recommendation

Announce Type: replace Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning is widely used to improve LLM performance, and recent foundation recommender models adopt it by generating textual reasoning before predicting target items represented by Semantic IDs (SIDs). However, we observe that enabling thinking mode in models such as OpenOneRec can degrade recommendation quality by up to 25%. We investigate this failure and identify Linguistic Inertia: when a textual CoT segment is inserted before SID...

Operationalizing Linguistic Methods through Prompt-Engineering Skills: An Automatic Chinese Web Neologism Detection Pipeline

Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a method for automatic Chinese web neologism detection that operationalizes traditional linguistic identification principles as prompt-engineering skills. The method has four stages: tokenizer-independent character n-gram candidate generation; dictionary anchoring with a Pointwise Mutual Information pre-filter; a well-formedness skill based on Chinese word-formation principles; and a combined rule and three-way classification skill that distinguishes...
