  1. Can Language Models Learn Typologically Implausible Languages? (2026 · 10 citations)
    Languages around the world show strong word-order correlations. For example, verb–object languages usually have prepositions, and object–verb languages usually have postpositions. These patterns are often explained by human learning biases, but it is debated whether such biases are specific to language or arise from…
  2. Probing for Reading Times (2026 · 1 citation)
    The paper asks whether the hidden states of neural language models hold information about human reading behaviour beyond what the usual single-number predictor, surprisal, provides.
  3. Verification-Aware Planning for Multi-Agent Systems (2026 · 1 citation)
    Multi-agent LLM pipelines often break not because an agent reasons badly, but because of subtle mismatches: an agent misreads its subtask, returns output in the wrong format, or hands off something downstream agents did not expect.
