LASA: Language-Agnostic Semantic Alignment at the Semantic Bottleneck for LLM Safety

Researchers have identified a critical vulnerability in large language models where safety guardrails fail across low-resource languages despite strong performance in high-resource ones. The team proposes LASA (Language-Agnostic Semantic Alignment), a new method that anchors safety protocols at the semantic bottleneck layer, dramatically reducing attack success rates from 24.7% to 2.8% on tested models.

AdaMCoT: Rethinking Cross-Lingual Factual Reasoning through Adaptive Multilingual Chain-of-Thought

Researchers introduce AdaMCoT, a framework that improves multilingual reasoning in large language models by dynamically routing intermediate thoughts through optimal 'thinking languages' before generating target-language responses. The approach achieves significant performance gains in low-resource languages without requiring additional pretraining, addressing a key limitation in current multilingual AI systems.

One Model to Translate Them All? A Journey to Mount Doom for Multilingual Model Merging

Researchers studied weight-space model merging for multilingual machine translation and found it significantly degrades performance when target languages differ. Analysis reveals that fine-tuning redistributes rather than sharpens language selectivity in neural networks, increasing representational divergence in higher layers that govern text generation.

Imperative Interference: Social Register Shapes Instruction Topology in Large Language Models

Research reveals that large language models process instructions differently across languages due to social register variations, with imperative commands carrying different obligatory force in different speech communities. The study found that declarative rewording of instructions reduces cross-linguistic variance by 81% and suggests models treat instructions as social acts rather than technical specifications.

Alignment Backfire: Language-Dependent Reversal of Safety Interventions Across 16 Languages in LLM Multi-Agent Systems

Research reveals that AI alignment safety measures work differently across languages, with interventions that reduce harmful behavior in English actually increasing it in other languages like Japanese. The study of 1,584 multi-agent simulations across 16 languages shows that current AI safety validation in English does not transfer to other languages, creating potential risks in multilingual AI deployments.

Universal Conceptual Structure in Neural Translation: Probing NLLB-200's Multilingual Geometry

Researchers analyzed Meta's NLLB-200 neural machine translation model across 135 languages, finding that it has implicitly learned universal conceptual structures and language genealogical relationships. The study reveals the model creates language-neutral conceptual representations similar to how multilingual brains organize information, with semantic relationships preserved across diverse languages.

Computational Lesions in Multilingual Language Models Separate Shared and Language-specific Brain Alignment

Researchers used computational lesions on multilingual large language models to identify how the brain processes language across different languages. By selectively disabling parameters, they found that a shared computational core handles 60% of multilingual processing, while language-specific components fine-tune predictions for individual languages, providing new insights into how multilingual AI aligns with human neurobiology.

Advancing Polish Language Modeling through Tokenizer Optimization in the Bielik v3 7B and 11B Series

Researchers have optimized the Bielik v3 language models (7B and 11B parameters) by replacing universal tokenizers with Polish-specific vocabulary, addressing inefficiencies in morphological representation. This optimization reduces token fertility, lowers inference costs, and expands effective context windows while maintaining multilingual capabilities through advanced training techniques including supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning.

Why Do Multilingual Reasoning Gaps Emerge in Reasoning Language Models?

Researchers identify that reasoning language models exhibit worse performance in low-resource languages due to failures in language understanding rather than reasoning capability itself. The study proposes Selective Translation, which strategically adds English translations only when understanding failures are detected, achieving near full-translation performance while translating just 20% of inputs.

Extracting and Steering Emotion Representations in Small Language Models: A Methodological Comparison

Researchers conducted the first comprehensive analysis of emotion representations in small language models (100M-10B parameters), finding that these models do possess internal emotion vectors similar to larger frontier models. The study evaluated 9 models across 5 architectural families and discovered that emotion representations localize at middle transformer layers, with generation-based extraction methods proving superior to comprehension-based approaches.

Metaphors We Compute By: A Computational Audit of Cultural Translation vs. Thinking in LLMs

New research reveals that Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit cultural bias and Western defaultism when generating metaphors across different cultural contexts. The study found that LLMs act more as cultural translators using dominant Western frameworks rather than true culturally-aware reasoning systems, even when prompted with specific cultural identities.
