arXiv:2410. 13077v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs) traditionally rely on final-layer loss for finetuning and final-layer representations for predictions, potentially overlooking the predictive power embedded in late layers.

arXiv:2606. 27009v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-agent large language model (LLM) loops, for example a Writer that drafts and a Critic that revises, are almost always terminated by a fixed iteration cap (max_iterations).

arXiv:2509. 22259v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the extent to which rotary position encodings (RoPE), a recent transformer position encoding algorithm broadly adopted in large language models (LLMs) and vision transformers (ViTs), can be applied to graph-structured data.

arXiv:2606. 27229v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recurrent models must forget in order to remember, yet the state of the art decides what to erase without consulting what is stored -- the gate sees only the arriving token, not the memory it is about to modify.
By Sayak Dutta
arXiv:2606. 26917v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Online reinforcement learning is widely used to align large language models (LLMs) with reward signals, yet training can be unstable under noisy or misspecified rewards.
By Ting Zhou, Zhenqing Ling, Yiyang Zhao, Ying Shen, Daoyuan Chen
arXiv:2606. 26728v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific discovery is fundamentally an optimization problem, defined by a vast "state space" of theories and experiments, and an evaluation criterion based on quality, novelty, and validity.
By Yuan-Hang Zhang, Chesson Sipling, Massimiliano Di Ventra
arXiv:2606. 26105v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong capabilities in short-context reasoning but degrade in performance over long conversational horizons due to context window limitations and inefficient token usage.
By Derek Thomas
arXiv:2606. 26901v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is increasingly used to document clinical encounters, yet its reliability in multilingual and demographically diverse Indian healthcare context remains largely unknown.

arXiv:2601. 03388v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Earlier research has shown that metaphors influence human decision-making, raising the question of whether metaphors also influence large language models (LLMs)' reasoning pathways, given that their training data contain a large number of metaphors.

arXiv:2605. 20919v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sutra is a typed, purely functional programming language whose compiled forward pass is a PyTorch neural network.
By Emma Leonhart
arXiv:2602. 14814v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Over the last years, state-tracking tasks, particularly permutation composition, have become a testbed to understand the limits of sequence models architectures like Transformers and RNNs (linear and non-linear).
