arXiv:2607. 15525v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks (KANs) replace fixed node activations with learned one-dimensional edge functions, offering an explicit interface for interpretation and a possible alternative to transformer feed-forward networks.

arXiv:2605. 28149v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) extract interpretable features from Large Language Model activations, but standard variants enforce non-negative latents, so a bidirectional semantic axis (e.

arXiv:2606. 08365v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoder (SAE) features are increasingly used to steer language models, but feature steering is rarely clean: the same intervention can behave inconsistently across contexts and perturb unrelated features.

arXiv:2607. 16212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models hallucinate numbers and units when summarizing scientific text, a failure mode that can silently invert a scientific claim.

arXiv:2605. 31191v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We investigate how teacher-student capacity relationships modulate knowledge distillation (KD) effectiveness in ResNet-based image classification on CIFAR-10.

arXiv:2607. 20494v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Production LLM applications commonly stack a regex filter in front of model-side alignment; prior work found no measurable coverage gain from adding a live Gemini backend behind an active regex filter.

arXiv:2511. 11041v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We find that current sentence-embedding models produce outputs with a consistent bias: every embedding $e$ decomposes as $\tilde e + \mu$, where the mean $\mu$ is near-identical across all sentences.

arXiv:2607. 09999v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We show that post-training quantization can silently alter how large language models reason even when task accuracy is preserved.

arXiv:2605. 04539v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), the efficient alternative to PPO-based RLHF, falls short on knowledge-intensive generation: standard preference signals from human annotators or LLM judges exhibit a systematic verbosity bias that rewards fluency over logical correctness.

arXiv:2607. 03466v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study aims to predict Tumor, Node, and Metastasis (TNM) stage labels independently, with the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) pathology report as the sixth shared task of SMM4H-HeaRD 2026.

arXiv:2606. 20502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Whether LLMs scoring well on vulnerability benchmarks genuinely reason about security or merely pattern-match on contaminated data remains unresolved.

arXiv:2606. 23740v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Offline reinforcement-learning losses (RFT, RIFT, DFT, Offline GRPO, DPO) are widely used to distill reasoning from large teachers into smaller students, and are typically compared on downstream accuracy alone.
