Patronizing and Condescending Language Detection in English and Mandarin · 2026-10-26 04:00 UTC

Patronizing and condescending language (PCL) is a form of harmful language that belittles and assumes pity for vulnerable groups, reinforcing negative societal stereotypes. However, unlike overt hate speech, it is often difficult to detect, even for human judges.

Validating the Comparison, Not Just the Scorer: Why Overall Accuracy Can Mislead in Interactive LLM Evaluation · 2026-10-26 04:00 UTC

Many LLM studies compare how models respond to different follow-up prompts. For example, one prompt may neutrally ask a model to reconsider, while another insists that an invented film really exists.

MisconceptDialogue: Evaluation Criteria Shape Measured Success in LLM Math Tutoring · 2026-10-26 04:00 UTC

Large language models are increasingly used as math tutors, raising two questions: can a single LLM detect a student's error, diagnose the underlying misconception, and remediate it through multi-turn dialogue - and can we trust the numbers that report how well it does?

Rethinking Structured Generation: Can Graph-Based Reasoning Resolve Ambiguity? · 2026-10-26 04:00 UTC

Structured generation is typically formulated as a deterministic mapping from input to a single structured output. This assumption is fundamentally misaligned with natural language, which often admits multiple structurally distinct yet semantically valid interpretations.
