A new arXiv preprint (2608.25166v1) reports that the grammatical role of tokens, marked by part-of-speech tags, shapes the local geometry of Transformer representations, with closed-class items expanding earlier and coll…
Researchers proposed BanglaMamba, a Mamba-based State Space Model for Bangla fake news detection, and found it achieves a Macro-F1 score of 0.9029, comparable to a from-scratch CustomBERT (0.9057) but below BanglaBERT's …
