With the increasing integration of large language models (LLMs) into real-world applications such as finance, e-commerce, and recommendation systems, their susceptibility to misinformation and adversarial manipulation poses significant risks. Existing fraud detection benchmarks primarily focus on single-turn classification tasks, failing to capture the dynamic nature of real-world fraud attempts. To address this gap, we introduce Fraud-R1, a challenging bilingual benchmark designed to assess LLMs’ ability to resist fraud and phishing attacks across five key fraud categories: Fraudulent Services, Impersonation, Phishing Scams, Fake Job Postings, and Online Relationships, covering subclasses. Our dataset comprises manually curated fraud cases from social media, news, phishing scam records, and prior fraud datasets.

Large language models (LLMs) have made remarkable progress in various domains, yet they often suffer from repetitive text generation, a phenomenon we refer to as the ”Repeat Curse”. While previous studies have proposed decoding strategies to mitigate repetition, the underlying mechanism behind this issue remains insufficiently explored. In this work, we investigate the root causes of repetition in LLMs through the lens of mechanistic interpretability. Inspired by recent advances in Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs), which enable monosemantic feature extraction, we propose a novel approach—”Duplicatus Charm”—to induce and analyze the Repeat Curse. Our method systematically identifies “Repetition Features” -the key model activations responsible for generating repetitive outputs. First, we locate the layers most involved in repetition through logit analysis. Next, we extract and stimulate relevant features using SAE-based activation manipulation. To validate our approach, we construct a repetition dataset covering token and paragraph level repetitions and introduce an evaluation pipeline to quantify the influence of identified repetition features. Furthermore, by deactivating these features, we have effectively mitigated the Repeat Curse.

Suicide remains a major global mental health challenge, and early intervention hinges on recognizing signs of suicidal ideation. In private conversations, such ideation is often expressed in subtle or conflicted ways, making detection especially difficult. Existing data sets are mainly based on public help-seeking platforms such as Reddit, which fail to capture the introspective and ambiguous nature of suicidal ideation in more private contexts. To address this gap, we introduce , a novel dataset of 1,200 test cases simulating implicit suicidal ideation within psychologically rich dialogue scenarios. Each case is grounded in psychological theory, combining the Death/Suicide Implicit Association Test (D/S-IAT) patterns, expanded suicidal expressions, cognitive distortions, and contextual stressors. In addition, we propose a psychology-guided evaluation framework to assess the ability of LLMs to identify implicit suicidal ideation through their responses. Experiments with eight widely used LLMs across varied prompting conditions reveal that current models often struggle significantly to recognize implicit suicidal ideation. Our findings highlight the urgent need for more clinically grounded evaluation frameworks and design practices to ensure the safe use of LLMs in sensitive support systems.

Recent advancements in large language models have showcased their remarkable generalizability across various domains. However, their reasoning abilities still have significant room for improvement, especially when confronted with scenarios requiring multi-step reasoning. Although large language models possess extensive knowledge, their reasoning often fails to effectively utilize this knowledge to establish a coherent thinking paradigm. These models sometimes show hallucinations as their reasoning procedures are unconstrained by logical principles. Aiming at improving the zero-shot chain-of-thought reasoning ability of large language models, we propose LoT (Logical Thoughts), a self-improvement prompting framework that leverages principles rooted in symbolic logic, particularly Reductio ad Absurdum, to systematically verify and rectify the reasoning processes step by step. Experimental evaluations conducted on language tasks in diverse domains, including arithmetic, commonsense, symbolic, causal inference, and social problems, demonstrate the efficacy of enhanced reasoning by logic.
