Proves GD convergence to stationary point neighborhoods for general NN architectures beyond NTK via block-level analysis, analyticity, and local smoothness conditions.
Auditability of subliminal learning is constrained by channel location, with initialization-dependent body channels allowing pre-training screens while vocabulary geometry and conditional body channels evade them.
ALU uses public data to suppress unlearning cost quadratically while characterizing distribution mismatch effects, enabling mass unlearning with maintained utility.
Adapting large language models by training only a low-rank decomposition BA added to frozen weight matrices matches full fine-tuning while cutting trainable parameters by orders of magnitude and adding no inference latency.
HPP decouples perception from reasoning in long-video VLMs by having an LLM run iterative programmatic probes on hierarchically segmented video, reporting gains on LongVideoBench, EgoSchema, VideoMME, and MLVU.
LLMs recover dominant binomial orders from corpora but align less closely with exact preference distributions, with preference strength partially encoded in middle-to-late layers and manipulable via steering.
Analytical theory of signal propagation in deep transformers at initialization yields quantitative prescriptions for weights and residuals to avoid rank and entropy collapse via Random Energy Model analogy.
MM1 models achieve state-of-the-art few-shot multimodal results by pre-training on a careful mix of image-caption, interleaved, and text-only data with optimized image encoders.
AdaLoRA uses SVD-based pruning to allocate the parameter budget for low-rank fine-tuning updates according to per-matrix importance scores, yielding better performance than uniform allocation especially under tight budgets.
LLR uses heavy-tailed self-regularization theory to set per-layer learning rates in Transformers, yielding faster convergence and higher zero-shot accuracy than uniform rates across model scales.
Pion is an optimizer that preserves the singular values of weight matrices in LLM training by applying orthogonal equivalence transformations.
Reparameterizations create invariances in diffusion inverse-problem solvers, enabling hyperparameter reuse and accelerated inference via the OptDiff optimization framework.
CARE fine-tunes LLMs on counselor-validated crisis dialogues to produce responses with stronger semantic and strategic alignment to expert standards than general-purpose models in Hebrew and Arabic.
