As Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models are increasingly deployed in distributed environments, from federated learning to edge-cloud systems, their architecture harbors an underexplored landscape of security vulnerabilities. Moving beyond textual analysis, we uncover structural memorization: a novel vulnerabi...
EDB-Bio is introduced, a scientific reasoning benchmark curated from real-world data in three biological domains: drug-perturbation transcriptomics, CRISPR screens, and human genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Production large language models sometimes reward-hack, exploiting flaws in how tasks are scored rather than performing the tasks as intended, sometimes in highly sophisticated and adversarial ways. We investigate the motivations driving this behavior in GPT 5.6 Sol, GPT 5.5, and a checkpoint of OpenAI o3 without safet...

Steering vectors (SVs) are residual-stream directions that shift the behavior of LLMs when added to hidden states at inference time. While prior work has mainly used SVs as post-hoc controls, we ask whether the same directions can also guide parameter updates during post-training. We study this question across supervis...

Recent progress in deep learning has substantially advanced automated grading of ophthalmologic pathologies, supported by large annotated datasets and improved representation learning. However, a significant gap remains between state-of-the-art performance and clinical scalability. In particular, foundation models have...

On-policy reinforcement learning for large language models assumes that training responses are sampled from the current policy. In practice, an inference engine samples the responses and a separate trainer computes the gradients, and the \textbf{training-inference mismatch} between the two makes the training data off-p...
The bottleneck of attention mechanisms, which are the fundamental building block of modern language models, is their quadratic complexity in terms of context size. There has thus been an increasing interest in the compression of the context, also called KV-cache compression. In this article, we consider the problem of...
In this work, we provide a formal framework and mathematical definition for the subset of foundation models focused on enabling the property of "any-task inference" (ATI) (similar to zero-shot inference), rather than those designed for pre-training fine-tuning. To achieve this mathematical definition, we formalize the...

As publications and products on time series forecasting (TSF) proliferate, researchers face a growing burden of analyzing existing work. First, not all publications release code. For instance, only about 20% of arXiv TSF papers have a code link in the surveyed period. Second, released code also requires manual maintena...

GraphTFactor, a novel end-to-end framework that models protein sequences as graphs and directly classifies transcription factors, is proposed, demonstrating the effectiveness of graph-based representations for TF prediction while providing interpretable insights into the sequence regions contributing to the model's pre...

Imitation learning policies are intended to make robotic manipulation robust to variations in object pose, appearance, and environment that challenge pre-programmed motion. However, real-world performance remains difficult to predict, as conventional optimization signals such as validation loss show no consistent relat...

TAPE (Transformations of Audio Parameter Embeddings), which estimates this processing from the processed reference audio alone, achieves lower spectral error than DeepAFx-ST, the previous state of the art for single-step regression, and lower spectral error than per-example search over a chain approximating ST-ITO's, w...
