GPT-2 small solves indirect object identification via a circuit of 26 attention heads organized into seven functional classes discovered through causal interventions.
LOSCAR-SGD combines local updates, sparse model averaging, and communication-computation overlap with a delay-corrected merge rule, providing convergence rates for smooth non-convex objectives under worker heterogeneity.
Ringmaster LMO extends delay-thresholding from ASGD to LMO-based momentum updates, providing convergence guarantees under (L0, L1)-smoothness and time-complexity bounds that recover optimal rates in the Euclidean case.
RISE is an inference-time semantic reranking framework that refines low-confidence predictions in rhetorical role labeling using contrastively learned label representations, delivering an average +9.15 macro-F1 gain on hard examples across eight datasets and seven models.
Semantic Softmax aggregates probabilities from semantic synonyms around target labels to correct renormalization bias in zero-shot LLM classification, lowering calibration error and raising AUROC and F1.
Inkheart SGD and M4 use bidirectional compression to achieve time complexities in distributed SGD that improve with worker count n and surpass prior lower bounds under a necessary structural assumption.
LC-MAPF uses multi-round local communication between neighboring agents in a pre-trained model to outperform prior learning-based MAPF solvers on diverse unseen scenarios while preserving scalability.
Proposes self-function vectors and a controlled evaluation protocol to quantify aleatoric uncertainty in ICL separately from epistemic uncertainty for more reliable LLM confidence measures.
SWE-RL uses RL on software evolution data to train LLMs achieving 41% on SWE-bench Verified with generalization to other reasoning tasks.
o1-like models overthink easy tasks; self-training reduces compute use without accuracy loss on GSM8K, MATH500, GPQA, and AIME.
Absorbing discrete diffusion models the conditional distributions of clean data; reparameterizing yields a time-independent RADD that unifies with AO-ARMs and reaches SOTA perplexity among diffusion models on zero-shot language benchmarks.
Min-K% Prob detects pretraining data in LLMs by flagging outlier low-probability words in text, achieving 7.4% better performance than prior methods on the new WIKIMIA benchmark.
OPT releases open decoder-only transformers up to 175B parameters that match GPT-3 performance at one-seventh the carbon cost, along with code and training logs.
Prompt tuning matches full model tuning performance on large language models while tuning only a small fraction of parameters and improves robustness to domain shifts.
A lightweight VLM inspecting SMAC policy videos produces open-ended multi-agent curricula that outperform text-only ablations and PLR scalar-score methods on held-out maps.
Hallucinations arise from biased latent inference paths rather than missing knowledge, demonstrated via a new diagnostic testbed TrapQA that isolates task-retrieval and key-selection biases.
ORM-based test-time verification improves Text-to-SQL accuracy over heuristic selection by up to 4.33% on BIRD and 2.10% on Spider using automated labeling.
Context and retrieved moral knowledge improve sentence-level Schwartz value detection more consistently than model scaling, with early-fusion RAG outperforming other variants in matched comparisons.
Scene Abstraction framework builds structured scene representations for lexical meaning via LLM prompting, with COCA-Scenes dataset and human experiments showing 82.4% identification accuracy and 86.4% preference over ATOMIC baselines.
MixRea benchmark reveals LLMs achieve at most 42.8% consistency on explicit-implicit reasoning tasks, with PRCP prompting proposed to recover overlooked relations.
LLMs represent semantic relations geometrically via embedding distance and direction; a linear Polar Probe decodes these structures from middle-layer activations and generalizes to new entities.
Spectrum-adaptive post-hoc generalization bounds for multi-layer Transformers are derived using layerwise Schatten quantities whose indices are chosen after training based on singular-value profiles.
GRASPrune removes 50% of parameters from LLaMA-2-7B via global gating and projected straight-through estimation, reaching 12.18 WikiText-2 perplexity and competitive zero-shot accuracy after four epochs on 512 calibration sequences.
