Arabic morphology remains challenging for large language models, since fluent generation does not guarantee accurate morphosyntactic control. Existing Arabic evaluations mainly target downstream tasks and do not directly test controlled morphological generation from explicit lexical and feature-based input. We introduce YallaMorph, a large-scale benchmark for Arabic morphological generation covering verbs, nouns, adjectives, their cliticized forms, and invalid configurations. We evaluate multilingual and Arabic-oriented LLMs under diacritized and undiacritized settings over 600K benchmark entries. Results show that Arabic morphological generation remains difficult, especially for cliticized, unseen, and morphologically rare forms.

Dense Representation Learning and Differentiable Shape Modeling for Spine Landmark Detection
Spine landmark detection from spinal X-ray is a key step for estimating spine deformation severity, for building biomechanical models, and for pre-operative planning. We reframe anatomical landmark detection as a pixel-level contrastive representation learning problem, matching dense pixel embeddings with landmark prototypes. Surprisingly, even with a generic U-Net backbone, this formulation results in more discriminative heatmaps compared to the traditional heatmap regression paradigm, leading to improved discrimination between vertebral corners on distinct vertebra. Furthermore, we combine the resulting heatmaps with learnable shape priors over the global configuration of spinal landmarks to resolve ambiguities in landmark locations, yielding a simple and practical approach to spinal landmark detection. Our approach is competitive, in terms of landmark accuracy and clinical parameter estimation, with the state-of-the-art on the public AASCE dataset and on two private spinal X-ray datasets. Our code and pre-trained weights are available at https://github.com/BioMedTP/Pix2Point.
DCKV: Learned Transform Coding of the Prompt KV Cache in Hybrid Language Models
Hybrid language models keep a key-value (KV) cache only in their few full-attention layers, but this cache is still the part of a prompt's state that grows with the prompt and that must be stored or moved to reuse it. We present DCKV, a differentiable codec for the KV cache and the first KV-cache codec that is trained end to end. Its transform, its quantizer and its entropy models, which are conditioned on the prompt tokens and on already decoded neighbouring positions, are optimized together against the frozen language model, both for the code length that the entropy models assign and for the change of the model's output. On Qwen3.5-2B, DCKV stores a compressed token in more than 55 times fewer bytes than bf16 at a loss of at most 1.8 points on three long-context benchmarks, and in more than 100 times fewer bytes at a loss of at most 3.6 points.
Self-Keyed In-Parameter Memorization for External Memory-Free Dialogue Recall in Frozen Language Models
A large language model maintains conversational content in an external storage that is outside the model and grows as the dialogue continues. This work assumes an environment where a language model has no external memory and no prior knowledge of the future question or its answer. The motivation is to research whether a dialogue can be stored in the model parameters and later answer a question about it. This work proposes self-keyed in-parameter memorization (SKIM), a closed-form method in which the model generates its own questions about each dialogue turn and writes those questions into its parameters as the keys that later retrieve the turn's content. Generating many varied questions for each turn allows a later user question to match one even when phrased differently, and its answer is recalled from the parameters alone. Evaluated on five language models, SKIM recalls most stored dialogue turns from later user questions, and it answers from the model parameters without any external storage.
Beyond QASecClaw: Agent Scaling, Verifier Feedback, and Evidence Reliability in Software Assurance
Can additional specialist language-model contexts improve software assurance when deterministic tool evidence is already available? We study this question through five experiments spanning authored Java warning controls, OWASP Benchmark assessment, Defects4J test generation, SV-COMP assertion verdicts, and deliberately misleading evidence packages. The evaluated systems use Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct, with a 1.5B sensitivity analysis, and complete 13,638 model requests. On eight related development warnings, increasing the context count from 1 to 50 increases token use 49-fold without improving unsafe clearance. On 160 OWASP cases, model configurations trade clearance against unresolved outcomes; the ten-context arm assesses only 96 cases. On 32 SV-COMP tasks, raw verifier feedback raises mean correct model verdicts from 12.7 to 22.0, but also raises incorrect verdicts from one to seven; a JBMC-plus-JVM validation baseline returns 26 correct verdicts and six unresolved outcomes. On two sets of 120 evidence packages, models reject 70-100% of applicable counterexamples, while construction-specific scope checks classify every package correctly. No target defect is discovered in three Defects4J bugs, one unsupported by the test adapter. These descriptive results support deterministic evidence admission for the tested settings, while exposing limits of verdict aggregation, feedback interpretation, and the available evaluation coverage.
