Law of Neural Interaction: Depth-Width Shape, Interaction Efficiency, and Generalization

The guidance of scaling laws has increased the resource demands of modern large language models (LLMs), yet it remains questionable whether these models utilize resources effectively under a fixed budget. Previous research has proved superposition as a key contributor to loss. By leveraging the Neural Feature Ansatz, we extend superposition from parameter space to gradient space and define it as neural interaction. We find that under a fixed budget, good generalization is usually accompanied by efficient neural interactions, and the model can be placed in an efficient interaction interval by adjusting its depth-width ratio ($R_{D/W}$). In addition, as the budget scales up, the efficient interaction interval of the model remains relatively stable. By comparing existing small scale dense LLMs, we observe that models operating near this interval tend to perform better on the MMLU-Pro benchmark. Our findings reveal that the $R_{D/W}$ influences resource utilization efficiency and thereby affects generalization, providing insights into model shape initialization and the understanding of model generalization mechanisms.

Chinese-SkillSpan: A Span-Level Dataset for ESCO-Aligned Competency Extraction from Chinese Job Ads

Job Skill Named Entity Recognition (JobSkillNER) aims to automatically extract key skill information from large-scale job posting data, which is important for improving talent-market matching efficiency and supporting personalized employment services. To the best of our knowledge, this work presents the first Chinese JobSkillNER dataset for recruitment texts. We propose annotation guidelines tailored to Chinese job postings and an LLM-empowered Macro-Micro collaborative annotation pipeline. The pipeline leverages the contextual understanding ability of large language models (LLMs) for initial annotation and then refines the results through expert sentence-level adjudication. Using this pipeline, we annotate more than 20,000 instances collected from four major recruitment platforms over the period 2014-2025. Based on these efforts, we release Chinese-SkillSpan, the first Chinese JobSkillNER dataset aligned with the ESCO occupational skill standard across four dimensions: knowledge, skill, transversal competence, and language competence (LSKT). Experimental results show that the dataset supports effective model training and evaluation, indicating that Chinese-SkillSpan helps fill a major gap in Chinese JobSkillNER resources and provides a useful benchmark for intelligent recruitment research.

HeartLLM: Discretized ECG Tokenization for LLM-Based Diagnostic Reasoning

Electrocardiography (ECG) plays a central role in cardiovascular diagnostics, yet existing automated approaches often struggle to generalize across clinical tasks and offer limited support for open-ended reasoning. We present HeartLLM, a novel framework that integrates time-series (TS) and language modeling by enabling large language models (LLMs) to process 12-lead ECG signals for clinical text generation tasks. Our approach discretizes continuous ECG embeddings into quantized codes using a lead-wise encoder and quantization module. These quantized codes are then mapped to an extended ECG vocabulary to form ECG tokens, enabling the model to process both ECG and natural language inputs within a unified framework. To bridge the modality gap, we pretrain the model on an autoregressive ECG token forecasting task, allowing the LLM to capture temporal dynamics through its inherent language modeling capability. Finally, we perform instruction tuning on both ECG question answering and diagnostic report generation. Without modifying the core model, HeartLLM achieves strong performance across tasks while maintaining generalization to out-of-distribution settings. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of each component and highlight the potential of integrating discretized ECG tokens into LLMs for medical reasoning.
