Bridge augments a graph neural network backbone with time-aware retrieval from a memory of region-time windows to improve cold-start and cross-city urban delivery demand forecasting.
Transformer activations show spectral anti-concentration for concepts in the tail while syntax prefers high-variance directions, forming a dual geometry.
Large language models encode relational bindings via a cell-based representation: a low-dimensional linear subspace in which each cell corresponds to an entity-relation index pair and attributes are retrieved from the matching cell.
Subword tokenization impairs phonological knowledge encoding in LMs, but an IPA-based fine-tuning method restores it with minimal impact on other capabilities.
PerturbedVAE disentangles perturbation-specific signals from invariant gene expression structure to recover causal representations and improve out-of-distribution prediction in single-cell perturbation modeling.
A latent mediation framework with sparse autoencoders enables non-additive token-level influence attribution in LLMs by learning orthogonal features and back-propagating attributions.
Fluent AI users adopt an active, iterative collaboration mode that produces more visible failures but better recovery and success on hard tasks, whereas novices experience more invisible failures from passive use.
The Master Key Hypothesis states that capabilities are low-dimensional directions transferable across models through linear subspace alignment, with UNLOCK demonstrating gains such as 12.1% accuracy improvement on MATH when transferring CoT from 14B to 7B models.
Reasoning in LLMs produces a transient geometric pulse in which concept manifolds untangle into linearly separable subspaces immediately before computation and compress afterward.
H-probes locate low-dimensional subspaces encoding hierarchy in LLM activations for synthetic tree tasks, show causal importance and generalization, and detect weaker signals in mathematical reasoning traces.
Analysis estimates 18.7% of Common Crawl documents contain geospatial information like coordinates and addresses, with little difference by language.
