Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) equips large language models (LLMs) with specialized capabilities, but often comes at the cost of forgetting the general capabilities of their parent models (i.e., the pretrained models before fine-tuning). This trade-off is especially limiting for queries that require both specialized and...
Visual tracking across the air-water interface is challenged by splashes, bubbles, refraction, reflections, and abrupt appearance changes that can temporarily invalidate observations. This setting poses two coupled difficulties: first, for evaluation, image-only annotation cannot reliably describe the target's physical...
Domain-specific continual adaptation of LLMs risks catastrophic forgetting, creating a fundamental tension between acquiring new capabilities and preserving those learned during pretraining. PEFT mitigates this problem by restricting the number of trainable parameters, but existing methods lack a principled unit for de...
Scaling laws describe power-law improvements in model performance with dataset size and parameter count, yet their underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. To explain the parameter count scaling, existing theory posits power-law scaling with model depth. In linear-attention models, this scaling is tied to a powe...

World-action models have recently improved autonomous driving by jointly learning future scene prediction and trajectory generation. Most existing approaches model the future primarily through RGB appearance, and recent works have begun to incorporate geometric prediction to improve spatial understanding. However, dens...
A long-standing hypothesis in artificial intelligence and neuroscience posits that intelligence is closely related to compression: the ability to compress information efficiently intuitively reflects capacities associated with intelligence and learning. Indeed, recent experimental works verify this intuition by showing...
Tool-using LLM agents violate the policies they are deployed to enforce, often silently. Prior defenses hand-write rules, query an LLM verifier per action, or compile policies through heavyweight formal machinery. Naive compilation fails: extracted rules block the tool satisfying their own precondition, or read argumen...
Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is rarely open-ended in practice: analysts work from high-level domain questions toward the concrete analyses that can answer them, prioritizing directions with domain knowledge and prior hypotheses. Large language models (LLMs) can supply such knowledge, but their responses are unstruct...
Multimodal large language models learn mostly from paired image-text data or annotated video, and raw web video is rarely used to further train an existing language model. We study whether raw video, with no captions and no text loss, can serve as mid-training data for a pretrained language model. Frames are encoded in...
Language-model agents favor their own group because they have watched their members favor each other. The group label alone does little once the decision has a cost; what drives favoritism is observed behavior, and an individual's own record can override it. We test this in small societies with arbitrary group labels,...
When a field that an authority contract needs exists only in unstructured evidence, a model can sense it. We admit the model's output only as an observation record with a score. An admission policy, with thresholds fitted on a held-out split at a declared false-positive ceiling, maps each score to true, false or unknow...
Muon has motivated a growing family of optimizers that compose multiple matrix normalizations, but these methods remain fragmented and lack a unified perspective. We introduce chained linear minimization oracles (chained LMOs), which cast these methods as compositions of LMOs. Despite their empirical success, many chai...
Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
