Loong: Synthesize Long Chain-of-Thoughts at Scale through Verifiers

arXiv:2509. 03059v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown that their reasoning capabilities can be significantly improved through Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Reward (RLVR), particularly in domains like mathematics and programming, where ground-truth correctness can be automatically evaluated.

TokenMem: Faithful Knowledge Injection for Frozen LLMs

arXiv:2607. 22625v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enhances large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge, but suffers from knowledge conflicts: when retrieved information contradicts parametric memory, the shared self-attention pathway produces unpredictable outputs.

Invariant Discovery for Networked Systems

arXiv:2607. 22944v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Invariants, the relations expected to hold among measured signals of a network, underpin applications from verification to traffic generation, telemetry imputation, and input validation, yet writing them by hand demands rare expertise in both formal logic and networking.

A Resolution of the SS--RS--GD Inequalities

arXiv:2607. 22620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Yun, Sra, and Jadbabaie (COLT 2021, open question) conjectured the SS--RS--GD inequalities: for well-conditioned symmetric matrices $A_1,\dots,A_n$, the operators $W_{ss}$, $W_{rs}$, and $W_{gd}$ that encode the expected iterate of single-shuffle SGD, random-reshuffle SGD, and gradient descent on a quadratic finite sum should satisfy \[ \|W_{ss}\|\le \| W_{rs}\|\le \|W_{gd}\|.

A Survey of Graph Transformers: Architectures, Theories and Applications

arXiv:2502. 16533v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph Transformers (GTs) have demonstrated a strong capability in modeling graph structures by addressing the intrinsic limitations of graph neural networks (GNNs), such as over-smoothing and over-squashing.

PTStore (Prefix Tensor Store): Distributed Prefix Caching and Replication for High Throughput Inference Serving

arXiv:2607. 22648v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inspired by the design of client caching in Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), PTStore distributes and replicates popular tensors that form reusable KV cache prefixes, which are the main technique used by state of art approaches to accelerate inferences.
