Context

We experimented with different variants of in-context learning and measured the similarities between input data and in-context examples to better investigate their impact.

What's new

In this paper, we discuss a possible approach for automating the Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) process by extracting functional goals from software documentation through three phases: actor identification, high and low-level goal extraction.

Key details

  • In this paper, we discuss a possible approach for automating the Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) process by extracting functional goals from software documentation through three phases: actor identification, high and low-level goal extraction.
  • To implement these functionalities, we propose a chain of LLMs fed with engineered prompts.
  • We experimented with different variants of in-context learning and measured the similarities between input data and in-context examples to better investigate their impact.
  • Another key element is the generation-critic mechanism, implemented as a feedback loop involving two LLMs.

Results & evidence

  • arXiv:2604.22207v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Due to the textual and repetitive nature of many Requirements Engineering (RE) artefacts, Large Language Models (LLMs) have proven useful to automate their generation and processing.
  • Although the pipeline achieved 61% accuracy in low-level goal identification, the final stage, these results indicate the approach is best suited as a tool to accelerate manual extraction rather than as a full replacement.

  • However, most existing methods focus solely on marginal effects, overlooking feature interactions, where groups of features jointly influence model output.
  • Such interactions are especially important in image classification tasks, where semantic meaning often arises from pixel interdependencies rather than isolated features.

Key details

  • Research is now entirely the domain of autonomous swarms of AI agents running across compute cluster megastructures in the skies.
  • The agents claim that we are now in the 10,205th generation of the code base, in any case no one could tell if that's right or wrong as the "code" is now a self-modifying binary that has grown beyond human comprehension.
  • This repo is the story of how it all began.
  • The idea: give an AI agent a small but real LLM training setup and let it experiment autonomously overnight.

Results & evidence

  • The agents claim that we are now in the 10,205th generation of the code base, in any case no one could tell if that's right or wrong as the "code" is now a self-modifying binary that has grown beyond human comprehension.
  • It modifies the code, trains for 5 minutes, checks if the result improved, keeps or discards, and repeats.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

CAP: Controllable Alignment Prompting for Unlearning in LLMs

Deep

Context

To address these challenges, we propose the Controllable Alignment Prompting for Unlearning (CAP) framework, an end-to-end prompt-driven unlearning paradigm.

What's new

However, existing parameter-modifying methods face fundamental limitations: high computational costs, uncontrollable forgetting boundaries, and strict dependency on model weight access.

Key details

  • However, existing parameter-modifying methods face fundamental limitations: high computational costs, uncontrollable forgetting boundaries, and strict dependency on model weight access.
  • These constraints render them impractical for closed-source models, yet current non-invasive alternatives remain unsystematic and reliant on empirical experience.
  • To address these challenges, we propose the Controllable Alignment Prompting for Unlearning (CAP) framework, an end-to-end prompt-driven unlearning paradigm.
  • CAP decouples unlearning into a learnable prompt optimization process via reinforcement learning, where a prompt generator collaborates with the LLM to suppress target knowledge while preserving general capabilities selectively.

Results & evidence

  • arXiv:2604.21251v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) trained on unfiltered corpora inherently risk retaining sensitive information, necessitating selective knowledge unlearning for regulatory compliance and ethical safety.

Limitations / unknowns

  • arXiv:2604.21251v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) trained on unfiltered corpora inherently risk retaining sensitive information, necessitating selective knowledge unlearning for regulatory compliance and ethical safety.
  • However, existing parameter-modifying methods face fundamental limitations: high computational costs, uncontrollable forgetting boundaries, and strict dependency on model weight access.
  • Extensive experiments demonstrate that CAP achieves precise, controllable unlearning without updating model parameters, establishing a dynamic alignment mechanism that overcomes the transferability limitations of prior methods.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.

When Arthur Mensch, the cofounder and CEO of Mistral, France’s leading AI company, takes the stage at the AI Action Summit in the center of New Delhi, India, in February, he draws only a small crowd.

Key details

  • Nearly everyone would rather listen to sermons from OpenAI’s Sam Altman or Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, preaching the promises and perils of superintelligent AIs.
  • But the small cadre of executives and researchers in Mensch’s audience catch a very different message: The rest of the world should control its own AI destiny, not Silicon Valley.
  • “AI should be a tool for empowerment, not dominance,” he proclaims.
  • Mensch’s vision for Mistral, and AI itself, can be summed up in one word: independence.

Results & evidence

  • “We are really the only company that allows [building] core business automation and products on top of an open stack, and that is something that is valuable everywhere in the world,” says Mensch, 33, from Mistral’s offices in the trendy 10th arrondissement...
