arXiv:2604.20022v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are increasingly deployed as autonomous diagnostic agents, yet they conflate two fundamentally different capabilities: natural-language communication and probabilistic reasoning. We argue that this conflation is an architectural flaw, not an engineering shortcoming.…
arXiv:2604.20704v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adversarial robustness evaluation underpins every claim of trustworthy ML deployment, yet the field suffers from fragmented protocols and undetected gradient masking. We make two contributions. (1) Structured synthesis. We analyze nine peer-reviewed corpus sources (2020–2026)…
arXiv:2510.26285v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Prior work has shown that large language models (LLMs) often converge to accurate input embedding for numbers, based on sinusoidal representations. In this work, we quantify that these representations are in fact strikingly systematic, to…
arXiv:2604.20077v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large-scale kernel ridge regression (KRR) is limited by the need to store a large kernel matrix K_t. To avoid storing the entire matrix K_t, Nystrom methods subsample a subset of columns of the kernel matrix,…
arXiv:2604.20024v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study replicable algorithms for stochastic multi-armed bandits (MAB) and linear bandits with UCB (Upper Confidence Bound) based exploration. A bandit algorithm is $rho$-replicable if two executions using shared internal randomness but independent reward realizations,…
arXiv:2604.20817v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models trained on natural text learn to represent numbers using periodic features with dominant periods at $T=2, 5, 10$. In this paper, we identify a two-tiered hierarchy of these features: while Transformers, Linear RNNs,…
arXiv:2604.20078v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-based techniques and spectral graph theory have enriched the field of machine learning with a variety of critical advances. A central object in the analysis is the graph Laplacian L, which encodes the structure of…
arXiv:2412.14590v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Quantization has become one of the most effective methodologies to compress LLMs into smaller size. However, the existing quantization solutions still show limitations of either non-negligible accuracy drop or low system efficiency. In this paper,…
arXiv:2604.20079v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Auto-regressive Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve strong performance on coding tasks, but incur high memory and inference costs. Diffusion-based language models (d-LLMs) offer bounded inference cost via iterative denoising, but their behavior under post-training quantization…
arXiv:2506.20904v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study offline reinforcement learning in average-reward MDPs, which presents increased challenges from the perspectives of distribution shift and non-uniform coverage, and has been relatively underexamined from a theoretical perspective. While previous work obtains performance…
