Abstract

The paper describes a replication experiment to assess "the distribution of editing procedures across micro and macro units as an indicator of the strain of text production". We investigate various pause thresholds to isolate Micro and Macro units and conclude that process-based units might be more suitable entity.

Infra-Bench CLS: A Global, Open-Source Benchmark for Critical Infrastructure Classification with Earth Observation Foundation Models

Critical infrastructure location data is often incomplete and unevenly distributed globally, especially in developing regions. Earth observation foundation models are proposed as a new step in enabling us to more efficiently understand the natural and built environment, raising questions as to their effectiveness in performing challenging downstream tasks. Yet, foundation models remain largely untested for detecting and classifying the facility-scale critical infrastructure that underpins a range of important societal and economic functions. Subsequently, Infra-Bench CLS is introduced as a benchmark to test foundation models on 18,756 Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 multispectral facility-scale critical infrastructure asset images covering seven continents and 13 infrastructure classes, with results reported for the 10 retained classes. Using linear probing and fine-tuning for two training dataset levels (1.0x and 0.3x), seven foundation models are evaluated (SatlasPretrain S2, SatlasPretrain S1, CROMA, Prithvi-EO-2.0, AlphaEarth Foundations, OlmoEarth v1.1-Base, and DINOv3 ViT-L/16). When comparing macro F1 scores to a ResNet-18 supervised baseline of 39.2 percent, the best foundation model achieved 57.9 percent, a 48 percent improvement. Top performing classes were airports (F1 85.3 percent), train stations (F1 82.1 percent), and data centers (F1 77.6 percent). By contrast, many of the power sector classes perform poorly (F1 27.5-46.2 percent). These findings suggest foundation models can enable superior critical infrastructure classification, but future work should evaluate performance on higher-resolution imagery, particularly for poorly performing sectors, such as power.

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?

Good Pretraining, Bad SFT: Checkpoint Quality Across the Training Stack

Language-model checkpoints are commonly selected by pretraining loss or benchmark scores, assuming that the highest-scoring checkpoint will remain the best starting point for subsequent training. We show that this assumption can fail in a full 30B mixture-of-experts training pipeline. The checkpoints that perform better after the full downstream training stack also have higher solution density, i.e., retain downstream performance under local weight perturbations.
