Frozen Memory Is Not Enough: Rethinking External Memory as Extraction

Methods for improving knowledge use in large language models typically fall into two regimes. Non-parametric retrieval offers flexible access to external knowledge, but adds retrieval latency, context overhead, and only shallow integration with the backbone. Parametric adaptation is efficient at inference time, but ent...

MDRC: A Deployable State-Recovery Defense for Traffic Signal Control under Sensor Corruption

Traffic Signal Control (TSC) is a safety-critical cyber-physical system that relies on real-time sensing. Corrupted observations caused by adversarial perturbations or sensor failures can propagate from the sensing layer into the controller and degrade traffic efficiency. Existing robust Reinforcement Learning (RL)-bas...

Diversity Combining for Multi-Path LLM Reasoning

Generalized least squares (GLS) analysis shows that, under exchangeability, the optimal symmetric linear combiner of latent embeddings is uniform, supporting majority vote as the natural default in standard SC while leaving room for weighting or pruning under heterogeneous prompt-template branches.

Your Model Is Leaking: Covert Information Transfer through LLM Residual Streams

A residual-stream covert-channel attack is introduced that maps messages to codewords and injects them into an intermediate residual stream through a compromised runtime hook and is scaled with the local residual norm using the signal-to-residual-norm ratio.

Label-free steering: Compressing test-time reinforcement learning into bias-only subspaces

A label-free bias-only TTRL, which uses majority-vote pseudolabels as rewards and optimizes only ~100K bias parameters while keeping the pretrained backbone frozen, demonstrating that substantial test-time adaptation can emerge from optimizing a tiny bias-only subspace using entirely label-free rewards.

Cross-Model Memory Transfer via Target-Side Reader Adaptation

The results suggest that Engram can serve as a reusable external knowledge artifact, provided that the target has access to a compatible reader interface and target-side adaptation can further improve alignment when direct reader reuse is insufficient.
