arXiv:2606. 25331v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern large language models are predominantly trained with autoregressive factorization and causal attention.

arXiv:2602. 06065v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Understanding how the structure of language can be learned from sentences alone is a central question in both cognitive science and machine learning.

arXiv:2601. 22594v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The high-level concepts that a neural network uses to perform computation need not be aligned to individual neurons (Smolensky, 1986).
By Aryaman Arora, Zhengxuan Wu, Jacob Steinhardt, Sarah Schwettmann
arXiv:2606. 00230v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Grokking, the phenomenon in which neural networks generalize long after fitting their training data, has been studied in supervised settings on many epochs.

arXiv:2607. 28319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work presents Fairness Pruning, a lightweight structural intervention method designed for the management and future mitigation of demographic bias in large language models (LLMs).

arXiv:2606. 08417v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion and continuous flow-based language models have emerged as the leading non-autoregressive alternatives to language modeling.

This work presents Fairness Pruning, a lightweight structural intervention method designed for the management and future mitigation of demographic bias in large language models (LLMs). As a foundational empirical validation of this method, this work focuses on causal bias localization.
arXiv:2606. 07414v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparsity allows scaling model parameters without proportionally increasing computational cost.
By Simon Schug
arXiv:2607. 22699v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) grow more capable across diverse tasks, their (in)ability to generalize remains difficult to quantify and poorly understood beyond limited domains.
By Supantho Rakshit, Adele Goldberg, Henry Conklin
arXiv:2603. 13418v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Structured pruning is widely applied to compress large language models (LLMs), but its performance depends heavily on how neuron importance is estimated.
