IndoNutriQA: An Indonesian Clinical Nutrition Question Answering Benchmark

Abstract

Clinical Question Answering (QA) underpins Clinical Intelligent Decision Support Systems, but progress is severely limited for low-resource languages such as Indonesian by the absence of public domain-specific data. We introduce IndoNutriQA, an expert-curated Indonesian clinical QA benchmark of 911 question-answer pairs built from real clinical-nutrition reports. Rather than a large-scale training corpus, it is positioned as a high-quality evaluation resource: every pair is grounded in a clinically relevant context, enriched with structured metadata (anthropometric assessment, medical diagnosis, document provenance, chunk segmentation). Eight standardised question types following the Nutrition Care Process (NCP), including the Problem, Etiology, Sign and Symptom (PES) diagnosis statement, are answered for every report, which was written by a graduate-level dietetic intern, by one of three nutritionists. Answers are free-form clinical prose rather than extractive spans, and an expert validation study finds 6-10% of reference answers contestable. The dataset supports generative, extractive and retrieval-augmented QA as well as zero- and few-shot LLM evaluation. We report fine-tuned baselines (IndoBERT variants, mT5, RAG) with 5-fold cross-validation, learning curves and bootstrap 95% confidence intervals, and benchmark eight contemporary LLMs zero- and five-shot. We further calibrate our LLM-as-judge rubric against three expert raters (one RD, two nutritionists), finding it human-comparable on factuality and completeness but unreliable on clinical safety, and a human error analysis shows it misses unsupported content that the raters identify. IndoNutriQA is released to foster research in Indonesian clinical NLP and nutritional decision support.

Kongzi: A Historical Large Language Model with Fact Enhancement

Large Language Models (LLMs) can exhibit factual inaccuracies during long-chain reasoning or under misleading prompts, limiting their reliability in historical analysis. We propose Kongzi, a language model for historical understanding and reasoning that combines continued pre-training on historical corpora, supervised fine-tuning, and fact-enhanced reinforcement learning. Its factuality reward compares entities and relations extracted from generated responses with historical references through knowledge-graph similarity. We evaluate 0.5B and 7B models on historical question answering and counterfactual reasoning, using reported ratings from three LLM judges, and on CMMLU-Chinese-History. Kongzi-7B receives the highest historical-accuracy ratings among the compared models under all three judges. Reinforcement learning improves the mean answer scores of both model sizes and their CMMLU-Chinese-History accuracy, although Kongzi-7B remains below the strongest reported baselines on that benchmark. These descriptive results support further study of factuality rewards for historical language models.

ShIOEnv: A Command Evaluation Environment for Grammar-Constrained Synthesis and Execution Behavior Modeling

We introduce ShIOEnv, a Gymnasium-compatible Bash environment for synthesizing execution-annotated shell input traces. Datasets containing such traces are useful for training models to perform execution-free shell simulation, which in turn is useful for deploying honeypots for cyber deception. Existing datasets, such as NL2CMD and other Bash command corpora, do not include complete execution artifacts (stdout, stderr, exit status, and changes to the system's state) associated with a command's execution. ShIOEnv synthesizes shell inputs, executes them in a controlled system context, and records stdout, stderr, exit status, and structured filesystem and environment patches. Unconstrained (random) generation of shell inputs (command and arguments) results in multiple instances of arguments that are mostly redundant or result in execution errors. We introduce grammar-constrained synthesis to generate syntactically valid arguments with high input irreducibility, which we estimate through self-ablative contrasts of execution artifacts. We prepare 1.6M samples using grammar-constrained and unconstrained synthesis and collect their execution artifacts for 86 Linux/Bash utilities. Using this dataset, we train small language models (CodeT5) and evaluate their accuracy in predicting the actual execution behavior of attacker-sourced Bash commands. These models outperform commonly used rule-based simulation (Cowrie) and prompted large language models by up to 14.2 pp in output edit similarity (O-ES). We enhance the NL2CMD dataset by constructing 500K samples executable in a grounded system context along with their complete execution artifacts. We empirically demonstrate that models trained on grammar-constrained samples outperform those trained on NL2CMD samples by 22.5 pp in O-ES. ShIOEnv, command grammars, and 2.1M samples used in our primary evaluations are released for use by other researchers.

How Well Does Mathematical Reasoning Transfer Across Languages in English-Centric LLMs?

Recent advances in Reinforcement Post-Training (RPT) have substantially improved the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), but it remains unclear how well such gains transfer across languages. In this work, we study cross-lingual mathematical reasoning transfer in English-centric LLMs under controlled multilingual evaluation. We first evaluate a range of English-centric reasoning models on multilingual mathematical reasoning benchmarks and find that transfer is highly variable across initial model choice, target language, and training paradigm. Through controlled comparative experiments, we further find that stronger English-centric initialization does not necessarily lead to stronger relative transfer efficiency, even when it yields higher multilingual reasoning accuracy. Finally, we show that the largest improvement comes from moving beyond English-only supervision: adding a single parallel language yields a substantial gain, while further gains from additional languages are smaller but consistent. Overall, our results highlight the need to evaluate multilingual mathematical reasoning directly, using both absolute performance and relative transfer-efficiency metrics.
