The rapid development of large language models (LLMs) has extended text generation tasks into the literary domain. However, AI-generated literary creations has raised increasingly prominent issues of creative authenticity and ethics in literary world, making the detection of LLM-generated literary texts essential and urgent. While previous works have made significant progress in detecting AI-generated text, it has yet to address classical Chinese poetry. Due to the unique linguistic features of classical Chinese poetry, such as strict metrical regularity, a shared system of poetic imagery, and flexible syntax, distinguishing whether a poem is authored by AI presents a substantial challenge. To address these issues, we introduce ChangAn, a benchmark for detecting LLM-generated classical Chinese poetry that containing total 30,664 poems, 10,276 are human-written poems and 20,388 poems are generated by four popular LLMs. Based on ChangAn, we conducted a systematic evaluation of 12 AI detectors, investigating their performance variations across different text granularities and generation strategies. Our findings highlight the limitations of current Chinese text detectors, which fail to serve as reliable tools for detecting LLM-generated classical Chinese poetry. These results validate the effectiveness and necessity of our proposed ChangAn benchmark. Our dataset and code are available at https://github.com/VelikayaScarlet/ChangAn.

Computational argumentation has received increasing attention in recent years. However, existing debate datasets neglect some important labels for argument mining, generation, and evaluation. Meanwhile, the lack of comprehensively annotated Chinese oral debate datasets hinders progress in this field. To address these gaps, we introduce a comprehensive Chinese Evaluation Dataset for Computational Argumentation, named CEDAR. Compared to previous datasets, CEDAR includes the essential labels of computational argumentation (claim, stance, evidence) and five additional crucial labels: rhetorical figures, debater roles, modal words, utterance time, and debate results. Moreover, it offers complete transcripts of each debate, including speeches from the Pro and Con sides. Thus, the proposed CEDAR not only supports common argument mining and generation tasks, but also provides resources for rhetorical figure detection, argument quality evaluation, and debate result prediction. This dataset covers 600 debates about 318 topics from Chinese debate competitions. Besides providing a dataset for research, we conduct experiments on common computational argument tasks and a novel task (rhetorical figure detection), in which we also evaluate LLMs. The experimental results highlight the challenging nature of the dataset. Our corpus is available at https://github.com/VelikayaScarlet/CEDAR.

As large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in dialogue systems and interactive agents, their social adaptation during natural interaction has drawn growing attention. While prior work shows strong social regulation under explicit role or style instructions, it remains unclear whether LLMs can spontaneously perceive and respond to implicit social differences without explicit prompts. Focusing on high-context Chinese interactions, we identify a robust phenomenon termed Social Agnosia, where LLMs fail to adequately perceive and accommodate implicit social power, affective arousal, and epistemic status during natural interaction. To diagnose this behavior, we propose C-ISA, a framework grounded in Communication Accommodation Theory that decomposes social adaptation into three approximately orthogonal dimensions, and conduct controlled comparisons across multiple Chinese LLMs under implicit and explicit conditions. Results show that while models substantially adjust linguistic strategies under explicit conditioning, they exhibit socially insensitive and homogenized responses in natural interaction, revealing a structural gap between spontaneous behavior and conditioned capability. The C-ISA dataset is publicly available at https://github.com/ty373/C-ISA.

As large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to various NLP tasks, their inherent biases are gradually disclosed. Therefore, measuring biases in LLMs is crucial to mitigate its ethical risks. However, most existing bias evaluation datasets are focus on English andNorth American culture, and their bias categories are not fully applicable to other cultures. The datasets grounded in the Chinese language and culture are scarce. More importantly, these datasets usually only support single evaluation task and cannot evaluate the bias from multiple aspects in LLMs. To address these issues, we present a Multi-task Chinese Bias Evaluation Benchmark (McBE) that includes 4,077 bias evaluation instances, covering 12 single bias categories, 82 subcategories and introducing 5 evaluation tasks, providing extensive category coverage, content diversity, and measuring comprehensiveness. Additionally, we evaluate several popular LLMs from different series and with parameter sizes. In general, all these LLMs demonstrated varying degrees of bias. We conduct an in-depth analysis of results, offering novel insights into bias in LLMs.

With the growing adoption of large language models (LLMs) in NLP tasks, concerns about their fairness have intensified. Yet, most existing fairness benchmarks rely on closed-ended evaluation formats, which diverge from real-world open-ended interactions. These formats are prone to position bias and introduce a “minimum score” effect, where models can earn partial credit simply by guessing. Moreover, such benchmarks often overlook factuality considerations rooted in historical, social, physiological, and cultural contexts, and rarely account for intersectional biases. To address these limitations, we propose F²Bench: an open-ended fairness evaluation benchmark for LLMs that explicitly incorporates factuality considerations. F²Bench comprises 2,568 instances across 10 demographic groups and two open-ended tasks. By integrating text generation, multi-turn reasoning, and factual grounding, F²Bench aims to more accurately reflect the complexities of real-world model usage. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of several LLMs across different series and parameter sizes. Our results reveal that all models exhibit varying degrees of fairness issues. We further compare open-ended and closed-ended evaluations, analyze model-specific disparities, and provide actionable recommendations for future model development. Our code and dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/VelikayaScarlet/F2Bench.

Knowledge graph embedding techniques have emerged as a critical approach for addressing the issue of missing relations in knowledge graphs. However, existing methods often suffer from limitations, including high intra-group similarity, loss of semantic information, and insufficient inference capability, particularly in complex relation patterns such as 1-N and N-1 relations. To address these challenges, we introduce a novel KGE framework that leverages mutual information maximization to improve the semantic representation of entities and relations. By maximizing the mutual information between different components of triples, such as (h, r) and t, or (r, t) and h, the proposed method improves the model’s ability to preserve semantic dependencies while maintaining the relational structure of the knowledge graph. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, with consistent performance improvements across various baseline models. Additionally, visualization analyses and case studies demonstrate the improved ability of the MI framework to capture complex relation patterns.
