LLM recommender agents increasingly produce structured reports: sets of items accompanied by natural-language justifications. Yet existing benchmarks often focus on reranking small candidate sets or judging reports primarily by semantic plausibility, providing limited support for evaluating and training agents based on...

Although Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve strong alignment through supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback, the alignment is often fragile under subsequent fine-tuning. Existing explanations either attribute alignment fragility to gradient geometry or characterize it as a distributiona...
Scientific foundation models are built to reuse representations across datasets and acquisition protocols, yet their representations degrade under distribution shift. We trace one source of this failure to selective state-space models (SSMs). Their memory depends on the step Delta and the state matrix A only through th...
It is shown that the critical scale at which selectivity emerges is determined by the local exponent of the distance-to-query distribution near zero rather than by global features of the context, and scales like $\beta_n^\ast \asymp n^{2/(d-1)}$ for uniform keys on $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$.

This paper studies the role of sinks and diagonal patterns as attention switch and anti-oversmoothing mechanisms. We analyze geometric conditions under which sinks can be represented, showing a necessary alignment between the embedding of the sink and all other embeddings. Next, we refine the current understanding of t...

By turning Mathlib PR histories into a supervised signal, MathlibPR provides a step toward reviewer assistants and reward models that could help evaluate PRs and steer LLMs toward producing merge-ready Mathlib contributions.
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have become the dominant architecture for large-scale language models, yet on-premises serving remains fundamentally memory-bound as batching turns sparse per-token compute into dense memory activation. Memory-centric architectures (PIM, NMP) improve bandwidth but leave compute underutil...

This work proposes an evidence-driven keyframe sampling framework motivated by an information-theoretic perspective, and trains a query-conditioned evidence scoring network using annotated answer-supporting segments to motivate a tractable frame-wise selection criterion.

Surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals provide information about muscle activity and function during movement. Fatigue alters multiple properties of these signals, with patterns that vary across individuals and contraction intensities. However, physiological insights into fatigue remain underused in sEMG modeling, pa...

Biological multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have emerged as powerful foundation models for scientific discovery. However, existing models are specialized to a single modality, limiting their ability to solve inherently cross-modal scientific problems. While model merging is an efficient method to combine the di...

Wearable and mobile sensing models infer health and well-being in everyday life, yet strong average performance can conceal failures for particular people, contexts, or devices. Existing fairness methods often require sensitive attributes during training, although such attributes may be unavailable, privacy-sensitive,...

Effective exoskeleton assistance requires co-adaptation: as the device alters joint dynamics, the user reorganizes neuromuscular coordination, creating a non-stationary learning problem. Most learning-based approaches do not explicitly account for the sequential nature of human motor adaptation, leading to training ins...
