Scaling up the size and training of autoregressive language models has enabled novel ways of solving Natural Language Processing tasks using zero-shot and few-shot learning. While extreme-scale language models such as GPT-3 offer multilingual capabilities, zero-shot learning for languages other than English remain largely unexplored. Here, we introduce Cedille, a large open source auto-regressive language model, specifically trained for the French language. Our results show that Cedille outperforms existing French language models and is competitive with GPT-3 on a range of French zero-shot benchmarks. Furthermore, we provide an in-depth comparison of the toxicity exhibited by these models, showing that Cedille marks an improvement in language model safety thanks to dataset filtering.

  1. Enhancing Factual Accuracy and Citation Generation in LLMs via Multi-Stage Self-Verification

    cs.CL 2025-09 reject novelty 3.0

    The paper proposes a four-stage self-verification prompting method but explicitly labels its experimental results as fabricated, so it cannot support its claimed gains.

  2. Leveraging Vision-Language Large Models for Interpretable Video Action Recognition with Semantic Tokenization

    cs.CV 2025-09 reject novelty 3.0

    LVLM-VAR transforms video into 'semantic action tokens' and uses a LoRA-tuned vision-language model to classify actions and generate explanations, reporting 94.1% on NTU RGB+D X-Sub.
