arXiv:2607. 05436v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid scaling of over-parameterized machine learning architectures, particularly LLMs, raises a profound crisis: do these systems exhibit genuine intelligence, or are they merely sophisticated statistical pattern matchers?

arXiv:2512. 18471v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual learning systems face a fundamental geometric obstacle: as experience accumulates on a fixed-capacity manifold, covering numbers grow linearly with time, eventually forcing representational overlap and catastrophic interference.

arXiv:2606. 03022v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hallucination in Large Language Models (LLMs), characterized by the generation of content inconsistent with contextual facts or logical constraints -- remains a persistent challenge for reliable deployment.

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:2605. 24942v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Steering a language model - intervening on its internal activations to change downstream behaviour - has recently expanded beyond linear interpolation to nonlinear methods such as angular and kernelized steering, which define intervention transformations without learning an explicit geometry over paths in activation space.

arXiv:2511. 02496v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study latent geometry as an explicit component of representation quality in data-scarce learning.
