Specialized models encode task-oriented behavior, but transferring that behavior to a general language model usually requires training, distillation, or representation alignment. We study whether such ability can instead be transferred directly at the parameter level. We apply two existing training-free heterogeneous m...

A concept subspace's effect on model behavior does not establish how it relates to the output readout. We introduce a two-sided geometric diagnostic that measures an extracted subspace's overlap with the dominant right-singular directions of the unembedding matrix, evaluated against output-oriented positive controls. G...

Recent advances in large language models have made automatic game generation increasingly feasible, yet reliably improving generated games beyond a playable version remains challenging. Naive iterative refinement can easily overfit a small set of test cases, producing fragile games with unresolved bugs, missing behavio...

Real-time voice conversion (VC) systems commonly rely on pretrained speaker embeddings from automatic speaker verification (ASV) models. While effective for speaker discrimination, these embeddings are trained to remain stable across phonetic and prosodic variations within-speaker, which may conflict with frame-level a...

Terminal agents rely on self-verification to assess and correct their solutions as they solve tasks through interaction with command-line environments. Yet how trustworthy such self-verification is remains poorly understood. To investigate this question systematically, we introduce a diagnostic framework that identifie...

Block drafters for speculative decoding are commonly trained on corpora written by external models, where a single off-policy token invalidates supervision for all subsequent slots in a block. Existing approaches discard these divergent slots, resulting in severe supervision loss. To resolve this problem while preservi...

We study training LLM judges from natural language feedback, especially for subjective tasks where the verdict depends strongly on which evaluation criteria the judge invokes and how it weighs them. The dominant approach, outcome-supervised RL (e.g., GRPO), credits every token in the rollout with a single scalar determ...

Constantly evolving real-world knowledge necessitates models to be updated continuously. Especially in medicine, as clinical evidence changes over time, outdated knowledge can pose safety risks. Existing evaluations of knowledge integration focus on factual recall, offering limited insight into whether newly integrated...

Language models increasingly use architectures that vary attention span and positional encoding across layers, such as applying RoPE with sliding-window attention and NoPE with global attention (SWA NoPE). However, how these choices shape in-context retrieval remains unclear. To study this question, we take a mechanist...
Representing scientific papers as points in a space lets us search for similar papers and inquire about how fields relate to one another and drive innovation. Beyond search, the vector space of papers invites generation: mixing papers through simple vector operations creates new points, mirroring combinatorial novelty,...

The performance ceiling of an LLM team is constrained not only by individual model capabilities, but also by inter-member error resonance and predictive differences. Although heterogeneous teaming is often observed to be effective in practice, existing approaches lack complementarity metrics that are computable, interp...

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) can ground large language models in external evidence, but retrieved context does not guarantee that generated claims are factually supported. This problem is especially relevant in multi-hop RAG, where retrieval and reasoning proceed through multiple dependent stages. We study whet...
A new method, called CW-Net, translates the reasoning process of an autonomous vehicle’s AI system into understandable concepts that explain its behavior.
