Understanding the Dynamics of Demonstration Conflict in In-Context Learning

arXiv:2603.04464v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In-context learning enables large language models to perform novel tasks through few-shot demonstrations. However, demonstrations per se can naturally contain noise and conflicting examples, making this capability vulnerable. To understand how models process such conflicts,…

cc-Shapley: Measuring Multivariate Feature Importance Needs Causal Context

arXiv:2602.20396v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Explainable artificial intelligence promises to yield insights into relevant features, thereby enabling humans to examine and scrutinize machine learning models or even facilitating scientific discovery. Considering the widespread technique of Shapley values, we find that…

Seeds of something different

Kate Brown’s book, “Tiny Gardens Everywhere,” examines the hidden history of urban farming, its extensive use, and the politics of growing food.

Continuous Chain of Thought Enables Parallel Exploration and Reasoning

arXiv:2505.23648v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern language models generate chain-of-thought traces by autoregressively sampling tokens from a finite vocabulary. While this discrete sampling has achieved remarkable success, conducting chain-of-thought with continuously-valued tokens (CoT2) offers a richer and more expressive alternative.…
