SAC: A Framework for Measuring and Inducing Personality Traits in LLMs with Dynamic Intensity Control

The recent development in financial compliance checking involves the introduction of Compliance-to-Code, which leverages Regulatory Technology and Large Language Models to automate the conversion of complex regulatory text into executable compliance logic. This innovation aims to address the challenges posed by intricate financial regulations, particularly in the context of Chinese-language regulations, where existing models have shown suboptimal performance due to various limitations.

The introduction of QuantEval marks a significant advancement in evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) in financial quantitative tasks, focusing on knowledge-based question answering, mathematical reasoning, and strategy coding. This benchmark incorporates a backtesting framework that assesses the performance of model-generated strategies using financial metrics, providing a more realistic evaluation of LLM capabilities.

A new framework named FocusedRetriever has been introduced to enhance multi-hop question answering by leveraging Semi-Structured Knowledge Bases (SKBs), which connect unstructured content to structured data. This innovative approach integrates various components, including VSS-based entity search and LLM-based query generation, outperforming existing methods in the STaRK benchmark tests.

A recent study has proposed enhancements to zero-shot recognition of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) using Large Language Models (LLMs) by implementing event-based segmentation and a novel method for estimating prediction confidence. This approach aims to improve the accuracy of sensor-based recognition systems in smart homes, which are crucial for applications in healthcare and safety management.

Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have highlighted the importance of reasoning in 3D visual grounding, a task that remains challenging due to the limitations of current models. The proposed 3D visual grounding data pipeline aims to synthesize data automatically, enhancing the ability to predict referring objects in 3D environments.

A recent study published on arXiv explores the use of activation probes to detect high-stakes interactions in Large Language Models (LLMs), focusing on interactions that may lead to significant harm. The research evaluates various probe architectures trained on synthetic data, demonstrating their robust generalization to real-world scenarios and highlighting their computational efficiency compared to traditional monitoring methods.

A new study presents a partition-based multi-stage fine-tuning framework for large language models (LLMs) aimed at enhancing their adaptability across diverse domains while minimizing inter-domain interference. This approach strategically organizes domains into subsets to leverage synergies and address discrepancies. The framework is supported by theoretical analysis and empirical evaluations demonstrating its superiority over existing methods in language understanding tasks.

A recent study introduced ValAct-15k, a dataset comprising 3,000 advice-seeking scenarios from Reddit, aimed at evaluating how Large Language Models (LLMs) represent and enact human values based on Schwartz Theory of Basic Human Values. The study assessed ten frontier LLMs from both U.S. and Chinese companies, revealing a significant knowledge-action gap where both LLMs and human participants exhibited weak correspondence between self-reported and enacted values.
