Mapping Students' AI Literacy Framing and Learning through Reflective Journals
This research paper presents a study of undergraduate technology students' self-reflective learning about artificial intelligence (AI). Research on AI literacy proposes that learners must develop five competencies associated with AI: awareness, knowledge, application, evaluation, and development. It is important to understand what, how, and why students learn about AI so formal instruction can better support their learning. We conducted a reflective journal study where students described their …

Ich lese „Reiche gegen höhere Erbschaftssteuer“ und so sehr ich die Doppelbedeutung von „Reiche“ in dieser Überschrift genieße, so sehr ist die Überschrift an sich Framing.
Denn wir wollen nicht ganz generell eine höhere Erbschaftssteuer. Wir wollen eine „höhere Erbschaftssteuer für Stink-, Super- und Überreiche“ bzw daß diese Personengruppe endlich überhaupt einen angemessenen Anteil an Steuern zahlt.

DPad: Efficient Diffusion Language Models with Suffix Dropout
Diffusion-based Large Language Models (dLLMs) parallelize text generation by framing decoding as a denoising process, but suffer from high computational overhead since they predict all future suffix tokens at each step while retaining only a small fraction. We propose Diffusion Scratchpad (DPad), a training-free method that restricts attention to a small set of nearby suffix tokens, preserving fidelity while eliminating redundancy. DPad integrates two strategies: (i) a sliding window, which mai…

Man I hate the new language for a task one doesn't want to do — "aversive”.
Primary reason is that it externalizes the problem. It's fixed mindset framing, that something _else_ has to change to make the situation better, that it's the task's fault for being aversive, instead of our own for not working on the aversion to the needed task.
We have a bad habit lately of attributing relational traits to the party in a relationship, rather than to the relationship itself and it weakens our thinking about things. Noticing this pattern really changes how you think, because you can start attributing things better and noticing the contexts — and contexts are often things that can be changed!

Learning from Preferences and Mixed Demonstrations in General Settings
Reinforcement learning is a general method for learning in sequential settings, but it can often be difficult to specify a good reward function when the task is complex. In these cases, preference feedback or expert demonstrations can be used instead. However, existing approaches utilising both together are often ad-hoc, rely on domain-specific properties, or won't scale. We develop a new framing for learning from human data, \emph{reward-rational partial orderings over observations}, designed …

Many classical estimates admit this normalized form; if we select valid upper bounds ρ_G \le \tildeρ_G, ρ_H \le \tildeρ_H and a product lower bound ρ_{G \square H} \ge \tildeρ_{G \square H}, then the single test \tildeρ_{G \square H} \ge \tildeρ_G \tildeρ_H certifies Vizing's.

@… just saw your story seeds site which is very cool. One gentle nudge: the "humanity learns how to sustainably live on Earth," framing erases all the groups of humans who do already know how to live sustainably, and have been doing do for tens of thousands of years. It's not "humans" who have "learning" to do, but specific groups of humans who have decisions to make.
Admittedly there's some learning to do about sustainably at scale, and about integrating good modern inventions with sustainable traditions, but I think that framing the problem as "we need to deploy existing rich knowledges of how to live sustainably" helps newcomers catch on to the decolonial thread of solarpunk more easily.

In this paper, we explore how reasoning capabilities in LLMs affect idiomaticity detection performance and examine the …

AIM-Bench: Evaluating Decision-making Biases of Agentic LLM as Inventory Manager
Recent advances in mathematical reasoning and the long-term planning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) have precipitated the development of agents, which are being increasingly leveraged in business operations processes.

However, the capabilities of the LLM agent in making inventory decisions in uncertain contexts, as well as the decision-making biases (e.g. framing effect, etc.) of th…

You ask your roommate to buy toilet paper. They show you the receipt as proof. The next morning, when you need toilet paper, the drawer is actually empty. This is because they used an innovative new method called Lean Shopping, where instead of buying the things they just print out a receipt — saving time and money.
This is a story about the social nature of problem framing, and when "high velocity" becomes less productive.

ZeroGR: A Generalizable and Scalable Framework for Zero-Shot Generative Retrieval
Generative retrieval (GR) reformulates information retrieval (IR) by framing it as the generation of document identifiers (docids), thereby enabling an end-to-end optimization and seamless integration with generative language models (LMs). Despite notable progress under supervised training, GR still struggles to generalize to zero-shot IR scenarios, which are prevalent in real-world applications. To tackle this challenge, we propose \textsc{ZeroGR}, a zero-shot generative retrieval framework th…

Classical approaches, such as sieve-based GMM, approximate the restriction using a fixed set of test functions and may fail to capture important aspects of the solution. Adversarial estimators address this limitation by framing estimation as a game between an estimator and an adaptive critic. We study the class of Re…

Empowering Educators in the Age of AI: An Empirical Study on Creating custom GPTs in Qualitative Research Method education
As generative AI (Gen-AI) tools become more prevalent in education, there is a growing need to understand how educators, not just students, can actively shape their design and use. This study investigates how two instructors integrated four custom GPT tools into a Masters-level Qualitative Research Methods course for Urban Planning Policy students. Addressing two key gaps: the dominant framing of students as passive AI users, and the limited use of AI in qualitative methods education. The study…

Probing Social Identity Bias in Chinese LLMs with Gendered Pronouns and Social Groups
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in user-facing applications, raising concerns about their potential to reflect and amplify social biases. We investigate social identity framing in Chinese LLMs using Mandarin-specific prompts across ten representative Chinese LLMs, evaluating responses to ingroup ("We") and outgroup ("They") framings, and extending the setting to 240 social groups salient in the Chinese context. To complement controlled experiments, we further analyze Chin…

Oyster-I: Beyond Refusal -- Constructive Safety Alignment for Responsible Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) typically deploy safety mechanisms to prevent harmful content generation. Most current approaches focus narrowly on risks posed by malicious actors, often framing risks as adversarial events and relying on defensive refusals. However, in real-world settings, risks also come from non-malicious users seeking help while under psychological distress (e.g., self-harm intentions). In such cases, the model's response can strongly influence the user's next actions. Simple r…

A Praxis of Influence: Framing the Observation and Measurement of Information Power
Information power is the capacity to convert data flows into durable shifts in attention, belief, and behavior. We argue that this power has migrated from broadcast persuasion to platform-ized, data-driven operations that fuse computational delivery with cognitive effects. In this context, we define and bound information power within international relations and the information environment while demonstrating why observing and measuring it demands an integrated lens that combines politics (goals…

A Formal Framework for Fluency-based Multi-Reference Evaluation in Grammatical Error Correction

A Formal Framework for Fluency-based Multi-Reference Evaluation in Grammatical Error Correction
Evaluating grammatical error correction requires metrics that reflect the diversity of valid human corrections rather than privileging a single reference. Existing frameworks, largely edit-based and English-centric, rely on rigid alignments between system and reference edits, limiting their applicability in multilingual and generative settings. This paper introduces a formal framework for \textit{fluency-based multi-reference evaluation}, framing $n$-gram similarity as an aggregation problem ov…

Towards Understanding Decision Problems As a Goal of Visualization Design
Decision-making is a central yet under-defined goal in visualization research. While existing task models address decision processes, they often neglect the conditions framing a decision. To better support decision-making tasks, we propose a characterization scheme that describes decision problems through key properties of the data, users, and task context. This scheme helps visualization researchers specify decision-support claims more precisely and informs the design of appropriate visual enc…

Topic Modeling as Long-Form Generation: Can Long-Context LLMs revolutionize NTM via Zero-Shot Prompting?
Traditional topic models such as neural topic models rely on inference and generation networks to learn latent topic distributions. This paper explores a new paradigm for topic modeling in the era of large language models, framing TM as a long-form generation task whose definition is updated in this paradigm. We propose a simple but practical approach to implement LLM-based topic model tasks out of the box (sample a data subset, generate topics and representative text with our prompt, text assi…

Moving beyond harm. A critical review of how NLP research approaches discrimination
How to avoid discrimination in the context of NLP technology is one of the major challenges in the field. We propose that a different and more substantiated framing of the problem could help to find more productive approaches. In the first part of the paper we report on a case study: a qualitative review on papers published in the ACL anthologies 2022 on discriminatory behavior of NLP systems. We find that the field (i) still has a strong focus on a technological fix of algorithmic discriminati…

J4CC, A Frame for Communication Control
Politics increasingly faces conflicts that appear irreconcilable, where one party's requirements directly contradict those of another. We propose J4CC, a frame for mapping how four forces (Power, Capital, Morality, and Knowledge) influence rule-making. J4CC provides a jargon for analyzing rule-making conversations. Beyond ideas about framing (Lakoff 2004; Rein & Schön, 1996), it draws on ideas from legal theory (Fuller 1967), institutional economics (Coase 1937), anthropology (Douglas 1992), a…

Anti-Regulatory AI: How "AI Safety" is Leveraged Against Regulatory Oversight
AI companies increasingly develop and deploy privacy-enhancing technologies, bias-constraining measures, evaluation frameworks, and alignment techniques -- framing them as addressing concerns related to data privacy, algorithmic fairness, and AI safety. This paper examines the ulterior function of these technologies as mechanisms of legal influence. First, we examine how encryption, federated learning, and synthetic data -- presented as enhancing privacy and reducing bias -- can operate as mech…

Geopolitical Parallax: Beyond Walter Lippmann Just After Large Language Models
Objectivity in journalism has long been contested, oscillating between ideals of neutral, fact-based reporting and the inevitability of subjective framing. With the advent of large language models (LLMs), these tensions are now mediated by algorithmic systems whose training data and design choices may themselves embed cultural or ideological biases. This study investigates geopolitical parallax-systematic divergence in news quality and subjectivity assessments-by comparing article-level embeddi…
