Skeleton-based Coherence Modeling in Narratives
arXiv:2604.02451v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modeling coherence in text has been a task that has excited NLP researchers since a long time. It has applications in detecting incoherent structures and helping the author fix them. There has been recent work in using neural networks to extract a skeleton from one sentence, and then use that skeleton to generate the next sentence for coherent narrative story generation. In this project, we aim to study if the consistency of skeletons across subsequent sentences is a good metric to characterize the coherence of a given body of text. We propose a new Sentence/Skeleton Similarity Network (SSN) for modeling coherence across pairs of sentences, and show that this network performs much better than baseline similarity techniques like cosine similar

Abstract:Modeling coherence in text has been a task that has excited NLP researchers since a long time. It has applications in detecting incoherent structures and helping the author fix them. There has been recent work in using neural networks to extract a skeleton from one sentence, and then use that skeleton to generate the next sentence for coherent narrative story generation. In this project, we aim to study if the consistency of skeletons across subsequent sentences is a good metric to characterize the coherence of a given body of text. We propose a new Sentence/Skeleton Similarity Network (SSN) for modeling coherence across pairs of sentences, and show that this network performs much better than baseline similarity techniques like cosine similarity and Euclidean distance. Although skeletons appear to be promising candidates for modeling coherence, our results show that sentence-level models outperform those on skeletons for evaluating textual coherence, thus indicating that the current state-of-the-art coherence modeling techniques are going in the right direction by dealing with sentences rather than their sub-parts.

Seedance 2.0 vs Kling 3.0 vs Sora 2: Model Capabilities, API Access, and Production Trade-offs
## Overview Three video generation models now dominate the API-accessible landscape as of March 2026: ByteDance’s **Seedance 2.0**, Kuaishou’s **Kling 3.0**, and OpenAI’s **Sora 2**. While benchmark comparisons and cherry-picked demos circulate widely, the more useful engineering comparison is about what each model actually offers at the API level – generation paradigm, pricing per second, duration constraints, and production readiness. This post breaks down all three based on officially verified information as of March 9, 2026. ## Model Architecture and Generation Paradigm The three models represent meaningfully different approaches to video generation, not just incremental quality improvements over each other. ### Seedance 2.0 – Multimodal Reference-Conditioned Generation Seedance 2.0 is
Copilot CLI now supports BYOK and local models
GitHub Copilot CLI now lets you connect your own model provider or run fully local models instead of using GitHub-hosted model routing. This means you can use the models and The post Copilot CLI now supports BYOK and local models appeared first on The GitHub Blog .
Training a 1.1B SLM at home
Hey all. Thought I'd share my journey. I've been fascinated with AI and LLMs, and started building apps for consumer devices (phones) and realized the market for fast, usable models for consumer hardware has felt more like an afterthought than a primary purpose. So I spent a lot of time (with the help of my own AIs) learning, researching, and designing an architecture for an SLM. After several weeks and trying different iterations of designs, I came up with an architecture that can run at 80+ tok/sec on CPU only. The model is called JTech-Nano, a 1.1B parameter SLM. No GPU needed for inference. The goal is a genuinely useful AI that runs on your phone/laptop/whatever with zero internet, zero API keys, zero cloud bills and performs efficiently. I'm now in the process of training it on my ow

Comparing Human Oversight Strategies for Computer-Use Agents
arXiv:2604.04918v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-powered computer-use agents (CUAs) are shifting users from direct manipulation to supervisory coordination. Existing oversight mechanisms, however, have largely been studied as isolated interface features, making broader oversight strategies difficult to compare. We conceptualize CUA oversight as a structural coordination problem defined by delegation structure and engagement level, and use this lens to compare four oversight strategies in a mixed-methods study with 48 participants in a live web environment. Our results show that oversight strategy more reliably shaped users' exposure to problematic actions than their ability to correct them once visible. Plan-based strategies were associated with lower rates of agent problematic-action o
Demonstrating SIMA-Play: A Serious Game for Forest Management Decision-Making through Board Game and Digital Simulation
arXiv:2604.04904v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Board games have shown promise as educational tools, but their use in engaging learners with the complex, long-term trade-offs of forest management remains strikingly underdeveloped. Addressing this gap, we investigate how forest growth simulation data can inform decision-making through information visualization and gameplay mechanics. We designed a serious game, SIMA-Play, that enables players to make informed forest management decisions under dynamic environmental and market conditions, simulating forest growth over time and comparing player performance across economic and sustainability outcomes. By using visualization to give players feedback on their choices, at the end of the game, it supports systems thinking and makes the trade-offs i
Design Guidelines for Game-Based Refresher Training of Community Health Workers in Low-Resource Contexts
arXiv:2604.04671v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Community Health Workers (CHWs) play a critical role in delivering primary healthcare services in low-resource settings, yet sustaining their training and performance remains a persistent challenge. Prior research has explored digital and game-based approaches for CHW training. However, limited work has synthesized longitudinal design insights into generalizable guidelines for interactive health interventions. Building on a four-year design-based research program involving multiple game-based refresher training systems, including quiz-based mobile apps, physical and augmented reality games, card-based games, and location-based games, we examine which design guidelines support sustained engagement, learning transfer, and contextual appropriate
