Self-Confirming Superposition Traps in Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) trains representations on data selected by the agent's policy, which then uses the resulting returns to guide its next choices. We show that this loop can sustain a lower-return policy even when representation fitting is globally optimal on those data. In a self-confirming superposition trap...

SupportCal: Label-Free Calibration of Post-Trained LLMs via Reference Support and Corroboration

Post-training often improves task performance but can degrade confidence calibration, leaving post-trained language models (PoLMs) more overconfident than their corresponding pretrained language models (PLMs). Because task-specific labeled calibration data can be costly or unavailable, the corresponding pretrained PLM...

Infinite-Parameter LLMs: Generating and Adapting Weights from Live Data

Scaling laws hold that language models grow more capable with more parameters and more training data. Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures are a remarkable demonstration of these laws, activating only a fraction of an enormous parameter bank for each token. But this success is built on static pretraining data --- the...

When the Canonical Completion Is Wrong: Formalizing and Measuring the Jump in Large Language Models

Whether large language models (LLMs) can perform the abductive leap from evidence to a new system of axioms, commonly referred to as a jump, has recently attracted considerable debate. A prominent position holds that LLMs are structurally incapable of such jumps, while recent studies challenge both its mechanism and em...

Feature Superposition in Neural Networks: From Theory to Practice

Superposition refers to neural networks representing more features than they have dimensions. It offers a possible explanation for polysemantic neurons and motivates methods for recovering interpretable features from neural activations. Theoretical models typically start with a given set of input features and assumptio...

When the Canonical Completion Is Wrong: Formalizing and Measuring the Jump in Large Language Models

A formal account of the jump is developed in four steps and measured, proving that jump instances are well-posed and establish a family theorem that certifies instances of unbounded difficulty without enumeration and further formalize when a jump is correct and how successive jumps compound.
