arXiv:2606. 12318v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural operators approximate mappings between function spaces, but often generalize poorly to other operators and usually require fine-tuning or retraining.
The paper proposes that large language models (LLMs) encode high‑level concepts as linear directions within their activation space and that they can use subspaces and vector algebra to perform tasks. By analyzing functional modules and residual streams during in‑context learning (ICL), the authors find that LLMs can create evidence‑accumulating subspaces and solve ICL tasks through simple algebraic operations within those subspaces.
arXiv:2607. 26775v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many kinds of data have structure along one or more axes: words in a sentence, pixels in an image, nodes in a tree, frames in audio, or cells in a 3D volume.
