Exposing the Cracks: Vulnerabilities of Retrieval-Augmented LLM-based Machine Translation
\textbf{RE}trieval-\textbf{A}ugmented \textbf{L}LM-based \textbf{M}achine \textbf{T}ranslation (REAL-MT) shows promise for knowledge-intensive tasks like idiomatic translation, but its reliability under noisy retrieval contexts remains poorly understood despite this being a common challenge in real-world deployment. To address this gap, we propose a noise synthesis framework and new metrics to evaluate the robustness of REAL-MT systematically. Using this framework, we instantiate REAL-MT with Q…

HiPS: Hierarchical PDF Segmentation of Textbooks
The growing demand for effective tools to parse PDF-formatted texts, particularly structured documents such as textbooks, reveals the limitations of current methods developed mainly for research paper segmentation. This work addresses the challenge of hierarchical segmentation in complex structured documents, with a focus on legal textbooks that contain layered knowledge essential for interpreting and applying legal norms. We examine a Table of Contents (TOC)-based technique and approaches that…

Diversity-Incentivized Exploration for Versatile Reasoning
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a crucial paradigm for incentivizing reasoning capabilities in Large Language Models (LLMs). Due to vast state-action spaces and reward sparsity in reasoning tasks, existing methods often struggle with deficient exploration and poor sample efficiency. In the paper, we propose \textbf{DIVER} (\textbf{D}iversity-\textbf{I}ncentivized Exploration for \textbf{V}ersatil\textbf{E} \textbf{R}easoning), an innovative framework that hi…

VOTA: Parallelizing 6G-RAN Experimentation with Virtualized Over-The-Air Workloads
Testbed sharing, a practice in which different researchers concurrently develop independent use cases on top of the same testbed, is ubiquitous in wireless experimental research. Its key drawback is experimental inconvenience: one must delay experiments or tolerate compute and RF interference that harms experimental fidelity. In this paper, we propose \textbf{VOTA}, an open-source, software-only testbed scaling method that leverages real-time virtualization and frequency tuning to maximize para…
