Exploring the Translation Mechanism of Large Language Models

While large language models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable success in multilingual translation, their internal core translation mechanisms, even at the fundamental word level, remain insufficiently understood. To address this critical gap, this work introduces a systematic framework for interpreting the mechanism behind LLM translation from the perspective of computational components. This paper first proposes subspace-intervened path patching for precise, fine-grained causal analysis, enabling the detection of components crucial to translation tasks and subsequently characterizing their behavioral patterns in human-interpretable terms. Comprehensive experiments reveal that translation is predominantly driven by a sparse subset of components: specialized attention heads serve critical roles in extracting source language, translation indicators, and positional features, which are then integrated and processed by specific multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) into intermediary English-centric latent representations before ultimately yielding the final translation. The significance of these findings is underscored by the empirical demonstration that targeted fine-tuning a minimal parameter subset ($<5\%$) enhances translation performance while preserving general capabilities. This result further indicates that these crucial components generalize effectively to sentence-level translation and are instrumental in elucidating more intricate translation tasks.

LoFT-LLM: Low-Frequency Time-Series Forecasting with Large Language Models

Time-series forecasting in real-world applications such as finance and energy often faces challenges due to limited training data and complex, noisy temporal dynamics. Existing deep forecasting models typically supervise predictions using full-length temporal windows, which include substantial high-frequency noise and obscure long-term trends. Moreover, auxiliary variables containing rich domain-specific information are often underutilized, especially in few-shot settings. To address these challenges, we propose LoFT-LLM, a frequency-aware forecasting pipeline that integrates low-frequency learning with semantic calibration via a large language model (LLM). Firstly, a Patch Low-Frequency forecasting Module (PLFM) extracts stable low-frequency trends from localized spectral patches. Secondly, a residual learner then models high-frequency variations. Finally, a fine-tuned LLM refines the predictions by incorporating auxiliary context and domain knowledge through structured natural language prompts. Extensive experiments on financial and energy datasets demonstrate that LoFT-LLM significantly outperforms strong baselines under both full-data and few-shot regimes, delivering superior accuracy, robustness, and interpretability.

Transitivity Meets Cyclicity: Explicit Preference Decomposition for Dynamic Large Language Model Alignment

Standard RLHF relies on transitive scalar rewards, failing to capture the cyclic nature of human preferences. While some approaches like the General Preference Model (GPM) address this, we identify a theoretical limitation: their implicit formulation entangles hierarchy with cyclicity, failing to guarantee dominant solutions. To address this, we propose the Hybrid Reward-Cyclic (HRC) model, which utilizes game-theoretic decomposition to explicitly disentangle preferences into orthogonal transitive (scalar) and cyclic (vector) components. Complementing this, we introduce Dynamic Self-Play Preference Optimization (DSPPO), which treats alignment as a time-varying game to progressively guide the policy toward the Nash equilibrium. Synthetic data experiments further validate HRC's structural superiority in mixed transitive--cyclic settings, where HRC converges faster and achieves higher accuracy than GPM. Experiments on RewardBench 2 demonstrate that HRC consistently improves over both BT and GPM baselines (e.g., +1.23% on Gemma-2B-it). In particular, its superior performance in the Ties domain empirically validates the model's robustness in handling complex, non-strict preferences. Extensive downstream evaluations on AlpacaEval 2.0, Arena-Hard-v0.1, and MT-Bench confirm the efficacy of our framework. Notably, when using Gemma-2B-it as the base preference model, HRC+DSPPO achieves a peak length-controlled win-rate of 44.75% on AlpacaEval 2.0 and 46.8% on Arena-Hard-v0.1, significantly outperforming SPPO baselines trained with BT or GPM. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/lab-klc/Hybrid-Reward-Cyclic.

Points-of-Interest Relationship Inference with Spatial-enriched Graph Neural Networks

As a fundamental component in location-based services, inferring the relationship between points-of-interests (POIs) is very critical for service providers to offer good user experience to business owners and customers. Most of the existing methods for relationship inference are not targeted at POI, thus failing to capture unique spatial characteristics that have huge effects on POI relationships. In this work we propose PRIM to tackle POI relationship inference for multiple relation types. PRIM features four novel components, including a weighted relational graph neural network, category taxonomy integration, a self-attentive spatial context extractor, and a distance-specific scoring function. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets show that PRIM achieves the best results compared to state-of-the-art baselines and it is robust against data sparsity and is applicable to unseen cases in practice.
