arXiv:2607. 03329v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conventional uniform convergence bounds and empirical risk minimization break down in massive over-parameterized models, such as large language transformers and biological sequence networks.

arXiv:2604. 09560v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Softmax attention is the row-normalized operator of a diffusion map: both normalize a learned score into a Markov operator, and differ only in what the score is allowed to contain.

arXiv:2605. 11125v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Discrete Diffusion Language Models progressed rapidly as an alternative to autoregressive (AR) models, motivated by their parallel generation abilities.

arXiv:2607. 10677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-attention is a ubiquitous primitive in modern sequence models, yet its operator-level geometry is only partially understood.

arXiv:2606. 09287v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding how transformer representations evolve across layers, not merely what they encode, remains an open problem in mechanistic interpretability.

arXiv:2606. 07559v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fine-tuning a language model often fails silently when its correct completion must outrank a near-synonym competitor.

arXiv:2608. 08485v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current LLM safety guardrails face a fundamental tension: fine-tuning distorts pre-trained representations while generative judges incur prohibitive inference costs.

arXiv:2607. 20484v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are fundamentally limited by representation collapse, a bottleneck that severely degrades long-context performance.
