OmniSapiens: A Foundation Model for Social Behavior Processing via Heterogeneity-Aware Relative Policy Optimization

arXiv:2602.10635v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Socially intelligent AI systems must entail reasoning across diverse human behavioral tasks, and generalization to new contexts. However, AI has yet to achieve this level of social intelligence. Existing models remain fundamentally constrained by the imbalanced learning dynamics induced by training on behavioral data. Namely, behavioral data is inherently heterogeneous, comprising diverse modalities and prediction targets that often produce uneven training signals across samples. To address this, we develop Omnisapiens-7B 2.0, a foundation model for social behavior processing that explicitly addresses learning from heterogeneous behavioral data. This is enabled through Heterogeneity-Aware Relative Policy Optimization, a novel reasoning RL method that explicitly rebalances learning signals across samples. The core insight is to approximate contribution signals to the policy update, using them to inform geometrically centered and intertially smoothed advantage modulation. Results demonstrate that Omnisapiens-7B 2.0 achieves the best and most consistent performance across 10 diverse behavioral tasks, while also attaining the best performance on all five held-out zero-shot generalization benchmarks, with gains of up to +12.02% and +9.37% respectively. Furthermore, Omnisapiens-7B 2.0 demonstrates more consistent and interpretable reasoning traces, supporting reliable real-world behavioral applications.

A Systematic Analysis of Biases in Large Language Models

arXiv:2512.15792v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have rapidly become indispensable tools for acquiring information and supporting human decision-making. However, ensuring that these models uphold fairness across varied contexts is critical to their safe and responsible deployment. In this study, we undertake a comprehensive examination of four widely adopted LLMs, probing their underlying biases and inclinations across the dimensions of politics, ideology, alliance, language, and gender. Through a series of carefully designed experiments, we investigate their political neutrality using news summarization, ideological biases through news stance classification, tendencies toward specific geopolitical alliances via United Nations voting patterns, language bias in the context of multilingual story completion, and gender-related affinities as revealed by responses to the World Values Survey. Results indicate that while the LLMs are aligned to be neutral and impartial, they still show biases and affinities of different types.
