Large language models can execute complete ransomware attacks autonomously, research shows
Criminals can use artificial intelligence, specifically large language models, to autonomously carry out ransomware attacks that steal personal files and demand payment, handling every step from breaking into computer systems to writing threatening messages to victims, according to new research from NYU Tandon School of Engineering posted to the arXiv preprint server.

A Multi-Language Object-Oriented Programming Benchmark for Large Language Models
Establishing fair and robust benchmarks is essential for evaluating intelligent code generation by large language models (LLMs). Our survey of 35 existing benchmarks uncovers three major imbalances: 85.7% focus on a single programming language; 94.3% target only function-level or statement-level tasks; and over 80% include fewer than ten test cases on average. To address these gaps, we propose MultiOOP, a multi-language object-oriented programming benchmark covering six popular languages (Pytho…

Investigating Language and Retrieval Bias in Multilingual Previously Fact-Checked Claim Detection
Multilingual Large Language Models (LLMs) offer powerful capabilities for cross-lingual fact-checking. However, these models often exhibit language bias, performing disproportionately better on high-resource languages such as English than on low-resource counterparts. We also present and inspect a novel concept - retrieval bias, when information retrieval systems tend to favor certain information over others, leaving the retrieval process skewed. In this paper, we study language and retrieval b…

Do Self-Supervised Speech Models Exhibit the Critical Period Effects in Language Acquisition?
This paper investigates whether the Critical Period (CP) effects in human language acquisition are observed in self-supervised speech models (S3Ms). CP effects refer to greater difficulty in acquiring a second language (L2) with delayed L2 exposure onset, and greater retention of their first language (L1) with delayed L1 exposure offset. While previous work has studied these effects using textual language models, their presence in speech models remains underexplored despite the central role of …
