Using the Mimi codec for metalinguistic representations

Artem Saloev, Erin Pacquetet, Nicolas Ballier

In this paper, we focus on the dictionary of 2048 tokens used in Mimi semantic token codebook, the neural codec of the Moshi language model. We show that the ABX experiment carried out with Mimi fails to capture the mapping of the semantic tokens to phone realisations. By realigning Mimi representations to the TIMIT corpus transcriptions, we show that the 2048 tokens IDs of the semantic codebook map to quadphone, triphone, biphone, phone and subphone realisations.

KV-Rescue: Recovering Reasoning Language Model KV Eviction Loss via Stepwise Interleaving

Minsoo Cheong, Woosang Lim, Vincent-Daniel Yun, Sungjoo Yoo

KV-cache eviction caps the memory cost of long reasoning traces but is inherently lossy because the model decodes from a partial view of its history. Under aggressive budgets, this not only lowers accuracy but can also cause runaway degeneration, where the model produces incoherent or repetitive tokens until reaching the length limit. We characterize much of this loss as an information gapf caused by missing context, rather than a capability gap caused by limited model capacity. An evicted 7B model and a full-context 1.5B model make complementary errors, and an oracle choice between their answers recovers 79% of the accuracy gap to the full-KV 7B model. Based on this observation, we propose KV-Rescue, a training-free inference framework that bridges the information gap introduced by KV eviction using a lightweight full-context helper. KV-Rescue interleaves reasoning steps from the two models into a shared trajectory. An online detector uses entropy and compressibility to terminate the generation of incoherent or repetitive base-model candidates early. Across five math benchmarks with Qwen2.5-Math 7B and 72B, KV-Rescue recovers an average of 87% of the accuracy lost to eviction at eviction budget B=64. A decode-cost analysis further shows that preventing runaway degeneration cuts base-model token generation by 43% on average.

Routing Divergence Is Not Evidence of Behavioral Influence in Same-Weight MoE Self-Distillation

Cedric Caruzzo, Donggeun Yoo, Tae Soo Kim

Two Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) forward passes can share every weight yet route the same token through different experts. This creates a possible blind spot in same-weight self-distillation, where a demonstration-conditioned teacher supervises a query-only student. We study this mismatch in its single-step form, with frozen weights rather than as a proxy for a full training trajectory. An exact blockwise decomposition separates a routing term, which changes gates at fixed content, from a dense-like content term. Across seven open-weight checkpoints and two domains, the routing term spans only $1.6\times$ as a fraction of block output, while its residual-stream exposure spans $3.2\times$. Exposure is ordered by the routed block's share of the residual. Scaling the always-on backbone in two confirmatory models moves exposure monotonically; common-mode controls support a mass-and-coherence mechanism rather than denominator dilution alone. Preregistered PubMedQA patches on three models show that the full routing term moves outputs by less than half the natural context effect and is largely reproduced by matched-norm noise, whereas the content term is strongly direction-specific. Scale and merged-expert probes show that the narrow block-level range is not universal, although exposure remains small at the tested boundaries. Router movement alone is therefore not evidence of behavioral influence: measure exposure first, and use a behavioral intervention when the decision matters.

Propaganda Forensics: Recovering the Generation Pipeline of an AI-Driven Influence Campaign

Benjamin Icard, Elouan Vuichard, Louis Lefebvre, Lila Sainero, Thomas Girault, Alice Breton, Tanguy Launay, Gauvain Bourgne, Morgane Casanova, Guillaume Gadek, Victor Klötzer, Michel Le Nouy, Guillaume Gravier, Jean-Gabriel Ganascia, Paul Égré

We present a forensic analysis of the generation pipeline behind a recent AI-driven influence campaign. We introduce PROPAGIA, a corpus of 2,646 propagandist French articles from the Storm-1516/CopyCop campaign disclosed by VIGINUM and INSIKT GROUP in 2025. For comparison, we rely on SIPA, a corpus of human-written French mainstream press from the same period. Using topic modeling, vagueness and sentiment analysis, we first isolate persuasion techniques characteristic of propaganda, with PROPAGIA far exceeding SIPA in vagueness, subjectivity and negativity, and citing fewer sources. We then find prompt instruction leaks on 50 of the 84 PROPAGIA websites, including a verbatim ten-point editorial specification accounting for several of these differences, together with high cross-article redundancy. Finally, we show that rewriting-based detection supports INSIKT GROUP's attribution to the Llama 3 family, but also suggests the involvement of Mistral-family models.

Beyond Single Object: Learning 3D Relations with Large Language Models

Kohsuke Ide, Ryousuke Yamada, Yue Qiu, Xianzheng Ma, Yoshihiro Fukuhara, Hirokatsu Kataoka, Yutaka Satoh

We address a fundamental gap in 3D-LLMs: existing models focus on single-object/scene description, struggling with detailed, inter-object comparison. We propose a framework for detailed object-level reasoning across multiple objects with three components: (1) MO3D (Multi-Object in 3D), an instruction dataset requiring fine-grained multi-object comparison; (2) Multi-3DLLM, using a minimal Patch-Interaction Transformer (PIT) that models inter-/intra-object relationships while preserving local geometry; (3) Mini-apps, two application-driven benchmarks (Shape Mating, Change Captioning) that probe geometric understanding for practical use. Recent 3D-LLMs and 2D-VLMs perform poorly on these tasks, lacking both comparison-centric design and geometric awareness. In contrast, Multi-3DLLM trained on our mixture data learns geometric reasoning, surpasses all baselines on MO3D, and provides positive transfer to single-object classification.

BERTopic-Virality Prioritisation: A Scalable Framework for Thematic and Comparative Analysis of COVID-19 and Monkeypox Misinformation on Twitter

Mkululi Sikosana, Sean Maudsley-Barton, Oluwaseun Ajao

Health misinformation circulating during pandemics can gain traction rapidly, creating harmful narratives that compete with public health guidance. Most topic-modelling pipelines treat engagement as an external outcome, limiting their ability to prioritise semantically coherent topics that are also rapidly diffusing. We introduce BERTopic-VP, a virality-prioritised topic-modelling framework that combines contextual embedding-based clustering (BERTopic) with a post hoc Virality Prioritisation (VP) layer. The pipeline is complemented by a two-stage hybrid misinformation detection module that fuses a supervised content-based classifier with an external verification signal derived from public-health knowledge bases. Applied to three benchmark datasets, COVID-19_FNIR, Monkeypox, and Constraint, the framework achieves strong classification performance, with F1 up to 0.950 and ROC-AUC up to 0.989, while identifying high-impact clusters under top 1%, 5%, and 10% VP thresholds. For datasets without native engagement metadata, prioritisation is based on a logistic propensity-to-spread score, used as an ordinal proxy for diffusion potential rather than a direct measure of engagement. The results show that integrating semantic structure, virality-aware ranking, and affective-linguistic profiling enables scalable and interpretable comparative analysis of misinformation across pandemics. The proposed framework supports monitoring-oriented early warning by surfacing low-volume but high-risk narratives for analyst review.

Integrating Persuasion Theory into the Epidemiological Modelling of Health Misinformation Spread on Social Media

Mkululi Sikosana, Sean Maudsley-Barton, Oluwaseun Ajao

This study presents a hybrid epidemiological and behavioural framework to simulate the spread of health misinformation on social media. We extend the classical Susceptible--Infected--Recovered (SIR) model to a six-compartment structure (SIRMMM), incorporating Misinformed Susceptible (MS), Misinformed Infected (MI), and Misinformed Recovered (MR) compartments to better reflect the dynamics of the misinformation lifecycle. To account for individual-level behavioural variation, we extend the SIRMMM model by integrating psychological signals from the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), including sentiment polarity, engagement metrics, and cognitive effort, which dynamically modulate the misinformation transmission rate, yielding the ELM-SIRMMM framework. Model parameters were estimated using the FibVID dataset, which captures COVID-19 misinformation on Twitter. Generalisability was tested on two additional datasets: MC-Fake (emotional misinformation) and Monant (general health misinformation). Results show that the ELM-SIRMMM model enhances both predictive accuracy and dynamic realism. On FibVID, it decreases RMSE by 5.5%, delays the misinformation peak from day 150 to day 160, and increases its peak prevalence from 6% to 7%. On MC-Fake, it accurately reproduces a flash-rumour pattern, infecting 38% of users by day 45 and achieving 97% misinformation recovery, all while maintaining model accuracy. In contrast, minimal behavioural signal variability in the Monant dataset leads to marginal benefit, with only a 3% peak and 57% of users remaining susceptible. These findings suggest that structural elaboration alone is insufficient. Functional realism in modelling misinformation spread requires dynamic psychological inputs that vary meaningfully across time and contexts.

When Stories Evolve: Benchmarking LLM Storytelling Across Agent Architectures in Open-Ended World Simulations

Yuqi Chen, Sixuan Li, YUNFENG CAI, Xueai Li, Ka Man Yan, Ying Li

Large language models can write fluent stories, but open-ended storytelling requires more than local fluency. In evolving world simulations and AI-native games, models must preserve facts, relationships, causal dependencies, and character states as the world changes. We introduce WSE-bench, a process benchmark that separately evaluates sustained generation, canonical coherence, and meaningful development in dynamic LLM storytelling. Generation Coverage records the proportion of planned narrative steps produced; Consistency tracks when canon breaks; and Richness measures how meaningfully branching, player-shaped trajectories develop. Across frontier models, Consistency and Richness do not form a smooth trade-off: their empirical Pareto frontier is non-concave, with several non-dominated intermediate configurations that no positive linear weighting can select. Added structure can enrich trajectories, but it does not uniformly improve coherence and may shorten them. Model scale chiefly improves sustained generation, without producing reliable gains in canonical coherence or meaningful development. These results show that sustained generation, canonical coherence, and meaningful development are distinct and sometimes competing capacities. WSE-bench makes those dynamics visible by extending narrative evaluation from finished stories to the processes that create them.

Wiktionary as a Crowdsourced Lexicon for English Dialects

Sidney Wong

This paper evaluates Wiktionary as an ethically crowdsourced lexicon for English dialects. We took a two-phase approach, providing an in-depth descriptive analysis of the crowdsourced lexicon for 12 national varieties of English before applying the lexicon to geo-referenced, country-level social media language data to examine the real-world performance of this crowdsourced dialect lexicon. We demonstrate that Wiktionary matches or exceeds the coverage of traditional dictionaries, such as the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), for regional and Outer-Circle varieties. Our dialect-specific case study on New Zealand English found high alignment between Wiktionary and the OED based on word-formation patterns (R = 0.883). Similarly, we observed high alignment between the dialect lexicon and geo-referenced social media language. While this paper found that Wiktionary has broad coverage of lexical properties, it also highlighted some of the macro-challenges involved in evaluating dialect-responsive language resources and tools, such as the role of language contact in dialects and register effects in web-based corpora.

Do Assessment Instruments Measure the Same Thing for Humans and LLMs? A Latent Structure Analysis

Alona Strugatski, Licol Zeinfeld, Giora Alexandron

The rapid development and growing deployment of large language models (LLMs) have made it increasingly important to understand their capabilities. A common approach is to evaluate LLMs using assessment instruments originally designed to measure skills and competencies in humans, such as standardized exams, and to use performance on these instruments as evidence for generalizable claims about LLMs' underlying abilities on the same skills the assessments are intended to measure in humans. However, from a validity perspective, such inferences require that the relationship between observed performance and underlying constructs established for humans also holds for LLMs. In particular, a necessary condition for transferring score interpretations is similarity in the latent structure of responses to the assessment. In this study, we examine whether this condition holds in two educational contexts: high-school chemistry and a quantitative reasoning section of a university entrance exam. Using a case study design, we compare human response data with responses generated by six multimodal LLMs. Our analytical approach combines exploratory factor analysis, factor congruence, and resampling to assess latent structure similarity across human learners and LLMs. Across both instruments, we find systematic differences between human and LLM factor structures, showing evidence that the analyzed assessments may not measure the same constructs for humans and LLMs. These findings call into question the validity of evaluation practices that use educational assessments to make claims about AI capabilities.

BengaliMCQ: Automatic Generation and Answer Prediction of Academic Multiple-Choice Questions in a Low-Resource Language

Abu Tarabin Surzo, A. K. M. Nihalul Kabir, Sm Azmain Faysal, Ariana Haque Ami, Lawrence Amlan Gomes, Farig Sadeque

Traditional retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks process documents without attending to their hierarchical structure, leading to poor performance, especially in low-resource languages such as Bengali. To address this, we propose a structure-aware RAG framework that models Bengali textbooks as hierarchical graphs and uses a contrastively trained graph neural network to retrieve a small set of relevant passages. These passages provide focused context for a large language model, enabling topic-specific multiple-choice question (MCQ) generation and in-domain answer prediction. Experimental results demonstrate that our framework outperforms strong dense retrieval baselines across retrieval metrics, produces more relevant MCQs, and achieves superior answer prediction accuracy.

L3Cube-IndicQuest v2: A Large-Scale Multilingual Benchmark for Evaluating Factual Knowledge of Large Language Models Across Indic Languages

Rinit Jain, Tirthraj Mahajan, Advait Joshi, Raviraj Joshi

We present L3Cube-IndicQuest v2, a large-scale gold-standard multilingual question-answering benchmark for evaluating the India-specific factual knowledge of Large Language Models (LLMs). The benchmark comprises 3,471 curriculum-grounded English question--answer pairs spanning nine domains, curated from educational curricula, competitive examination materials, and domain-specific reference books. We introduce a practical hybrid construction strategy that combines context-grounded LLM-based question generation and validation with semantic deduplication and human verification, enabling scalable creation of benchmark data while preserving annotation quality. The benchmark is translated into 19 Indic languages, yielding a publicly released multilingual dataset of 69,420 question--answer pairs across 20 languages. We evaluate six LLMs under three protocols: LLM-as-a-judge and two deterministic lexical criteria, exact-substring and word-overlap matching. All three produce almost the same model ranking, showing that the results do not depend on the choice of judge. The frontier commercial model leads by a wide margin, and among open-weight models Gemma4 31B outperforms the Indic-specialised Sarvam 30B in every evaluated Indic language.

Why Summaries Turn Neutral: Policy Attribution for Sentiment Drift in Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback

Mikhail Krasitskii, Alexander Gelbukh, Olga Kolesnikova, Grigori Sidorov

Reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) aligns LLMs with human preferences, improving summarization fluency and safety, but causes sentiment drift: overly neutral summaries stripped of emotional nuance. We diagnose why RL acts as a sentiment neutralizer and present Policy Attribution, a framework using gradient and logit decomposition to trace drift to reward model (RM) signals and KL (Kullback-Leibler) penalty. Sentiment drift reflects a strategic bias toward "low-risk" tokens maximizing expected rewards under preference uncertainty (Stiennon et al., 2020; Gao, Schulman, and Hilton, 2023). On Reddit TL;DR and CNN/DailyMail, RLHF summaries get higher rewards but show 30-40% lower sentiment variance. Cross-lingual analysis across eight languages shows language-independent drift, with morphologically richer languages more suppressed (Krasitskii et al., 2026). We propose and validate a sentiment-aware regularization technique reducing drift by 18-22% without harming summary quality. The code and toolkit will be public.

Do Language Models Consistently Encode the Current Year?

Suze van Adrichem, Aditi Bhaskar, Diyi Yang, Christopher Potts, Jing Huang

A consistent concept of the current time is important for temporal reasoning, yet how language models represent the current time is not well understood. We contribute two tasks that probe the current year in conceptually distinct ways: an associative task, which infers the current year from verb tense, and a declarative task, which directly queries for the current year. Both tasks estimate current years within one year of the post-training data cutoff of instruction-tuned language models. For base models, predictions on the associative task serve as a strong proxy for the pre-training data cutoff, with an average error of only 10 months across 13 models. However, their internal mechanisms diverge: the associative task uses mechanisms similar to factual recall, while the declarative task lacks consistent causal pathways. This divergence poses a challenge for updating the current year in language models. None of prompting, SFT, or weight editing succeed in shifting the associative and declarative years simultaneously. Prompting updates the declarative year (94.6% success across 351 target years) but leaves the associative year nearly unchanged (1.7% success). Year-shifted SFT also fails to shift the associative year, matching the target year in only one of eight models. Weight editing, while effective for both tasks individually, does not generalize across both. Overall, our results show that the current year is not consistently encoded in language models: The associative notion, deeply ingrained in linguistic structures learned in pre-training, uses different causal mechanisms and resists the same modifications that easily shift the declarative notion learned in post-training.

When Your Agent Opens the Chat App: Agent-Controlled Search over Raw Chat Logs Rivals Structured Memory

Ruizhe Li, Licheng Zhang, Benfeng Xu, Mingxuan Du, Zheren Fu, Weidong Chen

Agent-memory systems increasingly buy retrieval quality with structure, transforming raw conversation histories into summaries, embeddings, trees, or knowledge graphs before any question is asked. We ask how much of that benefit comes from the structure itself, rather than from competent retrieval over the raw history. We present ReFind, an agent-controlled search interface that builds no semantic structure at all: it leaves the conversation archive unmodified, indexes it lexically at turn granularity, and combines a generic iterative keyword-search loop with four chat-native controls grounded in empirical refinding work: session-aware rank fusion, local context expansion, temporal narrowing, and skipping already-inspected sessions. A separate reasoning stage answers from the collected evidence. Across a broad suite of conversational-memory tasks (single- and multi-hop QA, event ordering, and fact consolidation), roughly 2,800 questions on precise-retrieval and fact-tracking capabilities evaluated under the incremental multi-turn setting of MemoryAgentBench, ReFind attains the highest mean accuracy (58.2) of any system compared, above the strongest graph- and tree-based memory systems (HippoRAG 2, 53.2), all under a GPT-4o-mini backbone matched to every reused baseline. Controlled comparisons to single-shot BM25, a matched generic-agentic BM25 control, component removals, and agentic dense/hybrid variants separately support the roles of agent control, chat-native controls, and lexical retrieval. On LongMemEval-S/M, the same interface reaches 93.2 +/- 3.3 and 89.3 +/- 6.0 with GPT-5-mini. The results indicate that for precise, evidence-grounded questions over chat archives, much of the benefit credited to elaborate memory structures is recoverable by giving an agent controllable search over the unmodified record, with no LLM-based index construction at all.

Excess Separability: Nuisance-Controlled Residual-Stream Probing for Benchmark Contamination Detection

Florian Braun

Benchmark contamination is diagnosed with n-gram overlap, likelihood-based membership inference, or canary strings, and each needs something usually unavailable: the training corpus, a well-chosen test statistic, or foresight at release. A recent alternative reads it off a linear probe on internal activations. We show the natural way to do this does not work, specify one that survives measurement, then find that the correction making it work carries more variance than the null it is tested against. The protocol reports a zero-sum contrast on the depth profile of probe accuracy, recentred on a level-matched placebo baseline, tested against a label-permutation null, with the reference set twice the size of the suspect set. Each choice replaces a simpler alternative we rejected on measurement. Reporting the level of excess separability rather than its shape makes the false positive rate track the size of the analyst's own control set, 0.03 to 0.99 under a true null. Contrasting against a flat depth profile rejects a true null 0.72 of the time when surface decodability rises with depth, and loses all power when it falls. On real transformers the protocol fails a test the simulations did not pose. The recentring subtracts an estimate, and the permutation null holds it fixed. Re-estimated across split seeds on four audits of contaminated checkpoints, its standard deviation is 1.30 to 1.56 times the null's own in every arm: what is subtracted to remove a bias is more variable than what it corrects. The one nominally significant result, p = 0.0075, becomes 0.0745 once that variance is propagated, and no verdict is issued. The simulations missed this because their surface key is the covariate driving item variation; on real text it is a proxy, and degrading key quality in simulation reproduces it. We add a companion measurement and a widened null. No arm shows contamination.

VibeLifeBench: Can Your Life Agent Be Proactive and Persistent in a Living World?

Xiaohongshu Dots Studio, Evolvent AI

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly deployed as personal assistants. Existing evaluations, however, mostly use short, self-contained requests in static environments. Everyday life assistance is different. A task runs for weeks rather than minutes. The world keeps changing while the agent is not being prompted. Many constraints are never stated outright. An agent that merely answers the request in front of it will fail at such a task. What is needed instead is an agent that stays proactive and consistent. It decides on its own when to act, when to ask, and when to stay silent. It notices changes that nobody announced. It keeps one plan coherent from the first day to the last. No current benchmark measures this. We introduce VibeLifeBench, a benchmark of 200 long-horizon tasks across ten everyday-life domains. Each task is a scripted multi-week timeline in a simulated world of 22 mock services. The world advances on its own clock, and many of its changes are silent, so only an agent that re-inspects the world discovers them. Every task is graded by fine-grained, weighted checks that read only what the agent actually left behind, covering the end state, the timeliness of its actions, and whether it upheld the implicit constraints. We evaluate seven frontier models. All of them score low, which shows how far current agents are from assisting with real life. We will open-source all tasks, environments, and the evaluation framework.

Wiring Beats Blending: What Transfers Between Transformer Sizes -- and What Doesn't

Ravi Satya Durga Prasad Yenugula

Model families are typically trained size by size, each from scratch. Can a pretrained large model instead be converted into a smaller sibling? We characterize the 1.4B->410M conversion in Pythia end to end. Representations align strongly across sizes (ridge R^2=0.84) while parameters align weakly. Dense weight projection is functionally destructive, and a bit-exact control shows this is not an assembly artifact: basis mixing breaks rotary, per-head, GELU, and LayerNorm structure. After the best-fit linear operator, weight residuals are statistically indistinguishable from noise under shuffle controls. Conversion value therefore lives in initialization. In matched-budget continued pre-training we decompose conversion into two independent levers: least-squares compensation (function lever, best zero-shot) and variance-preserving rescale (dynamics lever, best endpoints). Compensation is a token-efficient, low-budget win rather than a universal one. At 30M tokens it beats the strongest subcloning variant on both a width-reduced pair (84.0 +/- 1.8 vs. 89.7 +/- 3.7, 3/3 seeds) and a held-out depth-reduced pair (109.3 vs. 117.9, 3/3 seeds), reaching a given quality with fewer tokens. At a 33x larger budget the two converge to parity (40.0 vs. 40.0), both far ahead of from-scratch, which transfer initialization always beats: by up to 18x at low budget, with the margin narrowing at convergence and at the largest scale. We also map the method's boundary. At about 5x the donor scale (6.9B->1.4B) stacking both levers over-corrects, consistent with ill-conditioning of the compensation solve at large width, which points to dimension-aware regularization as a fix. At matched budget our initialization also beats structured pruning with distillation, the standard pipeline, and improves further combined with it. Code, checkpoints, and the frozen evaluation corpus are released.

Where did the ambiguity go? Examining how multimodal models interpret polysemous words

Jasin Cekinmez, Addison J. Wu, Raja Marjieh, Thomas L. Griffiths

Human language is highly polysemous. Many common words (e.g., "bank" or "palm") carry several distinct meanings that shape what humans communicate and imagine. Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to understand this multiplicity of meaning, but much less is known about how polysemy surfaces in other modalities such as images. We study this across 17 text-to-image and 15 text-generation models by giving each a polysemous word with no context to fix its meaning and measuring which senses are produced over many samples. We find a clear multimodal gap, where within every model family, generated images settle on far fewer senses than generated sentences (normalized entropy 0.10 vs. 0.25), and both are far less varied than what people imagine for the same words (normalized entropy 0.47). However, when we instead ask a model to list how often it would generate outputs corresponding to each possible meaning of a word, it predicts distributions that are more diverse than the actual space of outputs. These results reveal a multimodal gap in how foundation models express meaning, and how their understanding may not transfer faithfully nor equally across modalities.

Lesioned Multimodal Language Models Reproduce Aphasic Picture-Naming Patterns

Yong Yang, Xiang Guan, Sophie Arheix-Parras, Saeed Ahmadi, Roger Newman-Norlund, Leonardo Bonilha, Christopher Rorden, Julius Fridriksson, Rutvik H. Desai, Srihari Nelakuditi

Aphasia following stroke commonly produces systematic naming errors with characteristic profiles, but whether general-purpose language models not designed for clinical simulation can reproduce these patterns remains untested. We investigated (1) whether lesions or controlled perturbations to a multimodal language model can reproduce different types of errors in picture naming, and (2) whether the framework can reproduce the complete error profile of individual persons with aphasia (PWAs). Using LLaVA 1.6, we evaluated perturbation configurations that varied the layer, proportion, and amount of noise applied to model units. We examined 278 PWAs on the Philadelphia Naming Test, classifying responses into seven categories using a validated neural classifier. Six of seven response categories (correct, semantic, mixed, unrelated, neologism, no response errors) emerged at clinically-comparable proportions across distinct parameter space regions, with formal paraphasia being the exception. Searching the perturbation space revealed configurations that reproduced the individual error profile in at least six of seven categories for 97.8% of PWAs and in all seven categories for 79.5% of PWAs. Monte Carlo baselines confirmed that this matching reflects joint inter-category structure rather than marginal overlap. These results establish a quantitative framework for reproducing individual aphasic error patterns in picture naming. They suggest the potential for language models to serve as digital twins of individuals with post-stroke aphasia.
