Trump-backed Kurt Alme wins Montana GOP Senate primary
Former U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme won the Republican Senate primary in Montana, NBC News projects, putting the Trump-backed candidate in a strong position to join the chamber next year. Alme’s perch atop the GOP field came after a last-minute ballot switch with retiring Republican Sen. Steve Daines. Daines, who is in his second term, told Semafor that he recruited Alme for his seat and worked to bring President Donald Trump and top Montana Republicans on board.
Augmented Lagrangian Predictive Coding
arXiv:2605.31022v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predictive coding (PC) is a local-learning alternative to backpropagation (BP), training deep networks via local energy-minimization dynamics rather than a global backward pass. We introduce Augmented Lagrangian Predictive Coding (PC-ALM), which maintains PC's inference budget but aligns each weight update toward BP by accumulating per-layer constraint errors into a layer-local Lagrange multiplier. In linear PC networks, PC-ALM converges to an...
SARA: Stress Test Reasoning in Audio Deepfake Detection
arXiv:2601.03615v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Audio Language Models (ALMs) offer a promising shift towards explainable audio deepfake detections (ADD), moving beyond \textit{black-box} classifiers by providing transparency to their predictions via reasoning traces. However, such reasoning may not support the model predictions, reflecting poor coherence, or, worse, may rationalize incorrect predictions with plausible but misleading explanation. Moreover, the behavior of ALM reasoning...
Montana Senate showdown emerges as Trump-backed Republican faces independent challenge
The race to replace a political titan from the Treasure State has taken shape with three challengers who will square off in November. What was expected to be an easy path to victory in Montana was shaken up earlier in 2026. Now, three new faces — former U.S. District Attorney Kurt Alme, ex-University of Montana President Seth Bodnar and former Montana state Rep. Reilly Neill — are all headed to the big stage in November.

Acoustic Cue Alignment in Audio Language Models for Speech Emotion Recognition
arXiv:2606.07309v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Instruction-following audio language models (ALMs) can be augmented with explicit acoustic cues, yet it remains unclear whether such cues are used in a grounded way when the raw audio is already available. We study this question in speech emotion recognition (SER) by deriving six interpretable acoustic concept tokens from the standardised eGeMAPS paralinguistic feature set. These tokens summarise energy, pitch, dynamics, brightness, formants,...
Beyond Text Following: Repairable Arbitration Reversals in Audio-Language Models
arXiv:2606.05161v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Audio-language models (ALMs) often follow text that conflicts with audio, even when the audio evidence is clear. This raises a basic question: is the audio-supported answer unavailable, or is it represented but overridden by the conflicting text? We examine this question using a same-audio counterfactual that keeps the audio fixed, removes only the conflicting text, and measures the resulting shift in model preference.
EntangleCodec: A Unified Discrete Audio Tokenizer via Semantic-Acoustic Entanglement
new Abstract: Audio tokenizers serve as the discrete interface between continuous audio and Audio Language Models (ALMs), but existing tokenizers often struggle to support both understanding and generation. Reconstruction-oriented codecs preserve acoustic fidelity but lack rich semantics, while semantic-aware tokenizers typically rely on separate semantic and acoustic streams, introducing redundancy or misalignment. We propose \textbf{EntangleCodec}, a unified discrete audio tokenizer that...
Beyond Semantic Dominance: Cognitive Affective Reasoning and Empathetic Response Alignment in Audio Language Models
arXiv:2606.06940v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Audio Language Models (ALMs) demonstrate strong semantic understanding, they struggle with complex affective interactions. Specifically, textual semantic dominance often overshadows acoustic nuances, and a lack of cognitive depth leads to generic, emotion-agnostic responses. We propose CogAudio-LLM\footnote{ \urlstyle{same} https://github.com/zxzhao0/CogAudio-LLM, a novel cognitive affective reasoning framework.
