arXiv:2607. 23153v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent work has shown that large language models (LLMs) can iteratively improve their outputs by incorporating generated samples and their corresponding evaluation scores as in-context examples.

arXiv:2607. 15893v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While the internal mechanisms of autoregressive (AR) transformers have been studied extensively, much less is known about diffusion language models (DLMs), an emerging alternative that generates text by iterative denoising.

arXiv:2607. 22646v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) display a striking ability to predict next observations from Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) via in-context learning (ICL), but the algorithm underlying this capability remains undetermined: prior work has proposed several candidates without consensus, and none has been grounded in the model's internal activations.

arXiv:2605. 28854v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable flexibility in adapting to novel tasks from in-context examples without parameter updates, a capability known as in-context learning (ICL).

arXiv:2512. 14391v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In-context learning is fundamental to modern Large Language Models (LLMs); however, prevailing architectures impose a rigid and fixed contextual structure by assigning linear or constant positional indices.

arXiv:2507. 04221v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Context Tuning, a simple and effective method to significantly enhance few-shot adaptation of large language models (LLMs) without weight updates.

arXiv:2602. 23197v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transformer-based large language models exhibit in-context learning, enabling adaptation to downstream tasks via few-shot prompting with demonstrations.

arXiv:2608. 13578v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer architectures rely on dense self-attention to model long-range dependencies, but this mechanism exhibits quadratic complexity with respect to sequence length.

arXiv:2607. 11614v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extending the context length of large language models (LLMs) is critical for many real-world applications, yet standard transformers remain constrained by quadratic compute and linear memory scaling.

arXiv:2605. 04913v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM post-training typically propagates task gradients through the full depth of the model.

arXiv:2608. 01672v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Effective long-context modeling is not merely about retaining more of the past, but about preserving the information that may prove relevant later.

arXiv:2410. 11687v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Linear recurrent networks (LRNNs) offer linear-time sequence modeling, but standard recurrent updates do not directly expose the supervised products needed for in-context gradient descent.
