Low-Dimensional and Transversely Curved Optimization Dynamics in Grokking

arXiv:2602.16746v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Grokking — the delayed transition from memorization to generalization in small algorithmic tasks — remains poorly understood. We present a geometric analysis of optimization dynamics in transformers trained on modular arithmetic. PCA of attention weight…

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…

pi-Flow: Policy-Based Few-Step Generation via Imitation Distillation

arXiv:2510.14974v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Few-step diffusion or flow-based generative models typically distill a velocity-predicting teacher into a student that predicts a shortcut towards denoised data. This format mismatch has led to complex distillation procedures that often suffer from a…

Biases in the Blind Spot: Detecting What LLMs Fail to Mention

arXiv:2602.10117v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) often provide chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning traces that appear plausible, but may hide internal biases. We call these *unverbalized biases*. Monitoring models via their stated reasoning is therefore unreliable, and existing bias…

AutoNumerics: An Autonomous, PDE-Agnostic Multi-Agent Pipeline for Scientific Computing

arXiv:2602.17607v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: PDEs are central to scientific and engineering modeling, yet designing accurate numerical solvers typically requires substantial mathematical expertise and manual tuning. Recent neural network-based approaches improve flexibility but often demand high computational cost and suffer…
