Abstract

Recruitment applications span diverse operations, from drafting job descriptions and interpreting queries to organizing profiles, assessing fit, and recommending candidates and jobs. Systematic LLM evaluation therefore requires task coverage that reflects this range of business needs. We introduce EHR-Bench, an open Chinese benchmark comprising twelve tasks across six capability families and five recruitment scenarios. The tasks cover generation, extraction, classification, retrieval, semantic similarity, and reciprocal ranking within one evaluation framework. An internal recruitment dataset guides task definitions, the occupation taxonomy and sampling targets, output requirements, and scoring protocols. Following these specifications, we construct 8,336 task instances from public materials and controlled augmentation, with source-aware expert review and documented provenance. We evaluate twelve LLMs through task-level, capability-level, and aggregate comparisons. Closely ranked models exhibit distinct task strengths, and performance varies across input sources, reference evidence, and candidate pools. Five shared models retain the same observed Overall ordering on a private operational reference, with variation in capability and task correspondence. EHR-Bench provides a reproducible foundation for systematic model assessment, task-specific model selection, and further research on LLMs for recruitment. The project repository is available at https://github.com/EhrBench/EHR-Bench.

Multidimensional Consistency Improves Reasoning in Language Models

While Large language models (LLMs) have proved able to address some complex reasoning tasks, we also know that they are highly sensitive to input variation, which can lead to different solution paths and final answers. Answer consistency across input variations can thus be taken as a sign of stronger confidence. Leveraging this aspect, we introduce a framework where models are \textit{systematically pushed to diversify solution paths} towards a final answer, thereby testing them for answer consistency across multiple input variations. Focusing on math problems, we induce variations in (i) order of shots in prompt, (ii) problem phrasing, and (iii) languages used. Experiments on a wide range of open-source LLMs of various sizes show that reasoning consistency differs by variation dimension, and that by aggregating consistency across dimensions, our framework enhances mathematical reasoning performance on monolingual datasets GSM8K and MATH500, and the multilingual dataset MGSM. We also discuss the different efficacy of the types of variations induced and how they could be further leveraged in future work.

VQEL: Enabling Self-Play in Emergent Language Games via Agent-Internal Vector Quantization

Emergent Language (EL) focuses on the emergence of communication among artificial agents. Although symbolic communication channels more closely mirror the discrete nature of human language, learning such protocols remains fundamentally difficult due to the non-differentiability of symbol sampling. Existing approaches typically rely on high-variance gradient estimators such as REINFORCE or on continuous relaxations such as Gumbel-Softmax, both of which suffer from limitations in training stability and scalability. Motivated by cognitive theories that emphasize intrapersonal processes preceding communication, we explore self-play as a substrate for language emergence prior to mutual interaction. We introduce Vector Quantized Emergent Language (VQEL), a novel architecture that incorporates vector quantization into the message generation process. VQEL enables agents to perform self-play using discrete internal representations derived from a learned codebook while preserving end-to-end differentiability. Moreover, the resulting vector-quantized codebook naturally induces a symbolic vocabulary that can be directly transferred and aligned during subsequent mutual play with other agents. Empirical results show that agents pretrained via VQEL self-play achieve more consistent symbol alignment and higher task success when later engaged in mutual interaction. These findings position self-play as a principled and effective mechanism for learning discrete communication protocols, addressing key optimization and representational challenges in emergent language systems.

FailureSensorIQ: A Multi-Choice QA Dataset for Understanding Sensor Relationships and Failure Modes

We introduce FailureSensorIQ, a novel Multi-Choice Question-Answering (MCQA) benchmarking system designed to assess the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to reason and understand complex, domain-specific scenarios in Industry 4.0. Unlike traditional QA benchmarks, our system focuses on multiple aspects of reasoning through failure modes, sensor data, and the relationships between them across various industrial assets. Through this work, we envision a paradigm shift where modeling decisions are not only data-driven using statistical tools like correlation analysis and significance tests, but also domain-driven by specialized LLMs which can reason about the key contributors and useful patterns that can be captured with feature engineering. We evaluate the Industrial knowledge of over a dozen LLMs-including GPT-4, Llama, and Mistral-on FailureSensorIQ from different lens using Perturbation-Uncertainty-Complexity analysis, Expert Evaluation study, Asset-Specific Knowledge Gap analysis, ReAct agent using external knowledge-bases. Even though closed-source models with strong reasoning capabilities approach expert-level performance, the comprehensive benchmark reveals a significant drop in performance that is fragile to perturbations, distractions, and inherent knowledge gaps in the models. We also provide a real-world case study of how LLMs can drive the modeling decisions on 3 different failure prediction datasets related to various assets. We release: (a) expert-curated MCQA for various industrial assets, (b) FailureSensorIQ benchmark and Hugging Face leaderboard based on MCQA built from non-textual data found in ISO documents, and (c) LLMFeatureSelector, an LLM-based feature selection scikit-learn pipeline.
