Rhetorical Questions in LLM Representations: A Linear Probing Study (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Rhetorical questions are asked not to seek information, but to persuade or signal stance . how large language models internally represent rhetorical questions remains unclear . |
| Approach: | They analyze rhetorical questions in LLM representations using linear probes on two social-media datasets with different discourse contexts. |
| Outcome: | The results show that rhetorical signals emerge early and are most stably captured by last-token representations. |
Towards Robust Evaluation of Visual Activity Recognition: Resolving Verb Ambiguity with Sense Clustering (2026.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing evaluation methods for visual activity recognition systems fail to capture ambiguities in verb semantics and image interpretation. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that constructs verb sense clusters to evaluate visual activity recognition systems. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework provides a more robust evaluation of visual activity recognition systems. |
