Abstract

Over the past fifteen years, digital tools for parallelizing and aligning textual corpora have developed significantly within the field of digital humanities. Several projects and software tools have been created to compare different translations or versions of texts. Despite these technical advances, many parallel corpora produced in academic contexts quickly become inaccessible online due to the lack of maintenance or funding. To address this gap, we present a suite of open-source tools developed within the ACR Grimm Tradalign and ParaTaxe projects. This suite includes the AIlign aligner, based on multilingual embeddings, a Python processing pipeline for converting and aligning corpora, a web interface called ParaTaxe for managing collections of parallel corpora, and a web interface for exploring aligned corpora built with TEI-Publisher.

A survey of diversity quantification in natural language processing: The why, what, where and how

The concept of diversity received increasing attention in natural language processing (NLP) in recent years. It became an advocated property of datasets and systems, with many measures used to quantify it, but also many cross-paper inconsistencies. To address this fragmentation, we take inspiration from other scientific fields where diversity has been more thoroughly conceptualized. We build upon (Sarkar, 2010) and (Stirling, 2007), two unified cross-domain frameworks inspired from ecology, economy and other domains. The first one advocates explicit justification of diversity endorsement. The latter distinguishes three dimensions of diversity: variety, balance, and disparity. Surveying over 300 recent diversity-related papers from ACL Anthology, we propose an NLP-specific framework with 4 perspectives: why diversity is important, what diversity is measured on, where it is measured, and how. We find that in NLP richness (the simplest variety) and distance averaging (the simplest disparity) are the most prevalent measure families, and that pure balance measures are nearly absent. Moreover, half of the measures used in NLP do not conform to Stirling's framework. Our analysis increases comparability of approaches to diversity in NLP, allowing us to formulate recommendations for the field. We recommend that the field systematically use a unified terminology, and that it engage in debates about the desirable properties of diversity measures as well as about the normative assumptions behind their use.

What MLLMs Learn about When they Learn about Multimodal Reasoning

Evaluation of multimodal reasoning models is typically reduced to a single accuracy score, implicitly treating reasoning as a unitary capability. We introduce MathLens, a benchmark of textbook-style geometry problems that exposes this assumption by operationally decomposing performance into perception, reasoning, and multimodal-specific components. Each problem is derived from a symbolic specification and accompanied by visual diagrams, text-only variants, multimodal questions, and targeted perceptual probes, enabling controlled measurement of each component. Using this decomposition, we show that common training strategies are associated with systematically different capability profiles that are invisible under aggregate accuracy. Across the models we study, reinforcement learning primarily improves perceptual grounding and robustness to diagram variation, while our analysis suggests that textual SFT yields gains through reflective reasoning. In contrast, as perception and reasoning improve, a growing fraction of remaining errors fall outside these components and are categorized as multimodal-specific. These results suggest that apparent progress in multimodal reasoning reflects shifting balances among subskills rather than uniform advancement, motivating evaluation beyond scalar accuracy.

EvalCards: A Framework for Standardized Evaluation Reporting

Evaluation reports guide the use of general-purpose AI (GPAI) models, yet inconsistent reporting often leaves essential questions unanswered. Through a review of prior work, we identify three central issues in evaluation reporting practices today, reproducibility, accessibility, and accountability, and examine how existing reporting artifacts fall short in addressing them. We introduce the EvalCards framework, outlining its key dimensions and presenting a preliminary format for concise evaluation summaries. We conclude by discussing how the framework can guide the future development of evaluation reporting standards.
