Large language models (LLMs) reproduce a human working-memory signature on the N-back task: performance declines as memory load N increases, and errors concentrate on lures, items that repeat the current stimulus at a neighboring but incorrect serial position. We ask whether this shared behavioral signature reflects a...
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used upstream of decision-making to clean data, detect label errors, and reconstruct missing values. Yet LLM-assisted data curation creates a new operational tradeoff: higher-fidelity models and richer prompts can be substantially more expensive, while the value of this add...
Series decomposition has emerged as a widely acknowledged paradigm in deep time series forecasting models. However, existing approaches predominantly employ a homogeneous modeling strategy for all subsequences, thereby overlooking the distinct inductive biases inherent in different components. We identify that the tren...
The success score of a tool agent reflects both its model and the budgets of the harness that runs it. We present ToolBottleneckBench, a benchmark that measures tool-agent performance under controlled pressures and fixed harness budgets. Synthetic enterprise tasks stay fixed while one pressure varies: the registered to...

We identify a theoretical incompatibility between 3D point cloud masked autoencoding and SE(3)-equivariant networks. We prove that standard masking triggers a topological collapse, effectively forcing the model to hallucinate orientation without a reference frame. To resolve this, we introduce SIEVE (Scalar Invariant E...
To address sparse terminal rewards in LLM arithmetic reasoning, we propose a Bellman-consistent trajectory RL method. Our framework introduces Trajectory Bellman Residual Minimization (TBRM) to transform sparse rewards into dense token-level signals. We integrate a Reinforce Leave-One-Out (RLOO) group strategy to reduc...
Peer review is under strain from the growth of submissions, and review comments written by humans or AI can misstate what a paper says. We introduce ReviewFact, a benchmark that labels such factual errors in review comments under one definition across NLP, machine learning, and the natural sciences, and that measures c...
When does a language model acquire a capability? Developmental studies usually answer this by tracking when models start producing the correct token. But that prediction passes through the unembedding matrix, or readout, which is itself still being learned during pretraining. We show that a model's hidden states can en...
Diffusion models are notoriously expensive to train, requiring large-scale datasets to learn how to gradually reverse the noise from images over multiple small denoising steps. Current approaches focus on distilling the number of diffusion steps, neglecting potential redundancies of the training data. In this paper, we...
Compiler transformations interact, making GPU kernel optimization a search for combinations that preserve the computation while improving performance. We introduce HOW TO TRAIN YOUR LITTLE DRAGON, a training method that teaches a small language model both to construct complete optimization scripts and to improve existi...
Dueling bandits choose each comparison based on earlier noisy outcomes, so two runs on the same preferences can compare different pairs. We study replicable dueling bandits, where two executions with shared internal randomness and independent comparison outcomes must select the same ordered pair in every round with pro...
Task-Oriented Grasping (TOG) has emerged as an important skill for purposeful robotic manipulation. Given the task of using a knife to "slice bread," a robot must choose to grasp from the handle, whereas for "hand[ing] the knife over," it is preferable for the handle to remain unobstructed for safe handoff. Current app...
A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
