Muon outperforms Adam by reducing curvature penalty via lower Normalized Directional Sharpness, as shown via Taylor approximation on LLM training and proven on stylized quadratic problems with heterogeneous curvature.
Gender bias and factual gender knowledge are severely entangled in language model circuits and neurons, making neuron ablation an unreliable method for debiasing.
Knowledge editing methods redistribute and suppress rather than overwrite facts in LLMs, creating narrow vulnerable regions in representation space that adversarial prompts can exploit.
Attribute retrieval in LLMs follows non-contiguous, redundant layer paths identified via iterative patching, implying highly distributed knowledge storage.
Knowledge conflicts in hypernetwork LLM adaptation stem from constant adapter margins losing to frequency-dependent pretrained margins; selective layer boosting and conflict-aware triggering raise deep-conflict accuracy to 71-72.5% on Gemma-2B and Mistral-7B.
REGLU guides LoRA-based unlearning via representation subspaces and orthogonal regularization to outperform prior methods on forget-retain trade-off in LLM benchmarks.
SalUn uses gradient-based weight saliency to achieve effective machine unlearning of data, classes, or concepts in image classification and generation, narrowing the gap to exact retraining.
GPT-NeoX-20B is a publicly released 20B parameter autoregressive language model trained on the Pile that shows strong gains in five-shot reasoning over similarly sized prior models.
View-PNDF detects and selectively fine-tunes view-specific neurons for consistent multi-view chest X-ray report generation, followed by LLM consolidation of reports.
Attribution-guided pruning with contrastive relevance identifies behavior-specific circuits in small LLMs and removes as little as 0.03-0.3% of components to reduce toxicity or repetition while preserving general performance.
FocusDiT masks non-critical query tokens before they enter the FFN in DiT models, directing capacity toward complex visual details and reporting improved text-to-image results.
