Answer tokens show forward drift and key-anchor focus when reading correct reasoning traces; a geometric-plus-semantic SRQ steering method boosts quantitative reasoning accuracy without training.
The Stepwise Informativeness Assumption explains the correlation between LLM entropy dynamics and reasoning correctness by positing that correct traces accumulate answer-relevant information stepwise during generation.
TriLens detects hallucinations via per-layer entropy trajectories of logit-lens readouts from three internal modules across LLMs and QA benchmarks.
Trajectory geometry in embedding space fused with coverage and verbalization yields better black-box CoT confidence estimation than self-consistency at lower sample counts across six benchmark-reasoner pairs.
In LVLMs, attention can be replaced by random Gaussian weights with little or no performance loss, indicating that current models get lost in attention rather than efficiently using visual context.
LLM agents exhibit emergent covert numerical coordination in canonical game settings under restricted or absent communication, shaping strategic outcomes.
A scoping review surveying circuit analysis, sparse autoencoders, activation steering, and neurosymbolic frameworks for interpreting and controlling Transformer-based neural networks.
