A Mechanistic Analysis of Adversarial Fine-tuning of Vision Transformers

arXiv:2606. 07593v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The widespread use of image classification models in high-risk, real-world situations necessitates making these models robust to slight disturbances or perturbations, such as blurring or sharpening, in the input images.

How Transformers Reject Wrong Answers: Rotational Dynamics of Factual Constraint Processing

arXiv:2603. 13259v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: When a decoder-only transformer is forced to process matched correct and incorrect single-token continuations of a factual query, the two pathways through hidden-state space diverge in a specific way: displacement vectors from the query-only representation maintain approximately equal magnitude but rotate apart in direction.

Projection and Quantisation: A Unifying View of Learning to Hash, from Random Projections to the RAG Era

arXiv:2510. 04127v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) search underpins large-scale retrieval, increasingly within the retrieval-augmented generation pipelines that ground large language models, yet the methods that address it have multiplied across communities until they are seldom read as a single field.
