Attending to Routers Aids Indoor Wireless Localization

arXiv:2602.16762v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern machine learning-based wireless localization using Wi-Fi signals continues to face significant challenges in achieving groundbreaking performance across diverse environments. A major limitation is that most existing algorithms do not appropriately weight the information from…

Omitted Variable Bias in Language Models Under Distribution Shift

arXiv:2602.16784v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite their impressive performance on a wide variety of tasks, modern language models remain susceptible to distribution shifts, exhibiting brittle behavior when evaluated on data that differs in distribution from their training data. In this…

Defining and Evaluating Physical Safety for Large Language Models

arXiv:2411.02317v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to control robotic systems such as drones, but their risks of causing physical threats and harm in real-world applications remain unexplored. Our study addresses the critical gap in…

A Unifying Framework for Robust and Efficient Inference with Unstructured Data

arXiv:2505.00282v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: To analyze unstructured data (text, images, audio, video), economists typically first extract low-dimensional structured features with a neural network. Neural networks do not make generically unbiased predictions, and biases will propagate to estimators that use…

Block-Recurrent Dynamics in Vision Transformers

arXiv:2512.19941v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As Vision Transformers (ViTs) become standard vision backbones, a mechanistic account of their computational phenomenology is essential. Despite architectural cues that hint at dynamical structure, there is no settled framework that interprets Transformer depth as…
