Abstract

Travel itinerary generation requires balancing strict spatio-temporal constraints with human preferences. Existing LLM-based planners mainly rely on structured attributes and pre- defined traveler personas, but real travel deci- sions are often shaped by reviews that reveal experiential factors such as comfort, safety, ser- vice quality, ambiance, crowding, and hidden risks absent from structured databases. Incor- porating such review information is therefore critical to realistic, user-centric itinerary gen- eration. We propose TRIPPULSE1, a multi- agent framework for review-grounded travel planning. Instead of relying on a monolithic planner (and face context and reasoning bot- tlenecks), TRIPPULSE2 decomposes itinerary generation into specialized agents (each op- erating over localized contexts) for accom- modations, transportation, meals, attractions, and events, coordinated through a global or- chestrator with scheduling mechanisms that enforce temporal and budget feasibility. We augment TRIPCRAFT with 100K+ real-world reviews and introduce Review-Grounded Per- sona Alignment (RGPA), an LLM-as-a-Judge metric for evaluating alignment with human- centric travel experiences. Experiments across multiple trip durations and diverse proprietary and open-source models show that TRIPPULSE maintains strong constraint satisfaction while generating more personalized and experien- tially grounded itineraries.

CyrillicQA: The Influence of Phonetically Encoded Secret Language on LLM Performance

Due to the selection of their training data, large language models (LLMs) perform best on standard-language inputs from languages using the Latin alphabet with large speaker populations, while disadvantaging other language varieties. Nevertheless, they can also be a versatile tool for preserving precisely such endangered languages. But do they also possess the necessary creativity and capacity for abstraction to decode phonetically encoded language the same way humans do?

Density Matrices for Metaphor Understanding

In physics, density matrices are used to represent mixed states, i.e. probabilistic mixtures of pure states. This concept has previously been used to model lexical ambiguity. In this paper, we consider metaphor as a type of lexical ambiguity, and examine whether metaphorical meaning can be effectively modelled using mixtures of word senses. We find that modelling metaphor is significantly more difficult than other kinds of lexical ambiguity, but that our best-performing density matrix method outperforms simple baselines as well as some neural language models.

Informational Antilocality and the Locality Bias in LLMs

We consider the ability of transformer-based language models (LLMs) to learn what we call k-antilocal languages, i.e., languages that have no mutual information across any span of $k$ contiguous symbols. We construct such languages with increasing $k$, finding that LLMs trained on them achieve comparable cross-entropy loss regardless of antilocality, but converge more slowly on more antilocal languages. Our findings support the idea that non-local dependencies are more difficult to learn, but the evidence for this bias comes from learning speed rather than learning success.
