Multi-head attention retrieves and combines context representations through query--key interactions and value aggregation, with head dimension constraining the per-head representation space. In long-context processing, it remains unclear whether allocating a fixed parameter budget to fewer, wider heads improves informa...
Large Language Models (LLMs) have gained widespread adoption in various natural language processing tasks, but suffer from hallucination issues where they generate unfaithful or inconsistent content. While Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has shown promising applications in reasoning tasks, its app...

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as powerful general-purpose robot policies, but their successes and failures remain difficult to diagnose and understand. In this work, we show that sparse autoencoder (SAE) representations of OpenVLA activations contain outcome-predictive information and can be used to...

Scientific discovery requires identifying the scientific principles underlying observed phenomena to guide further investigation. As these empirical principles are often unknown in complex discovery processes, they are constructed via a hypotheses-to-principle pipeline to obtain recurring causalities from progressively...

Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) remains a popular on-policy reinforcement learning algorithm owing to its stability and ease of implementation. Its clipping threshold, however, is fixed, so every training sample receives the same trust-region width regardless of how reliable the corresponding policy update is. This...
Unified streaming speech language models aim to support speech recognition and synthesis within a single model, enabling real-time human-computer interaction. However, jointly supporting these two directions of speech-text conversion while preserving task-specific performance remains challenging. We propose Uni-Stream,...

Neural architecture search (NAS) is expensive, but cross-task transfer can reduce costs by reusing knowledge from previous tasks. However, existing methods struggle with sparse search histories and task-specific transfer failures. We propose a method, a risk-robust strategy that combines sparse source logs with zero-co...
Generative target speaker extraction (TSE) models achieve high-quality extraction, but suffer from considerably slow training convergence. Representation Alignment (REPA) accelerates diffusion transformer training by aligning hidden states with a pre-trained Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) teacher. However, existing ali...
Neural networks can learn multiple tasks, but how learning organizes shared computation into specialized and reusable components remains poorly understood. In this work, we show that sparsity inducing regularization promotes functional modularity in multitask networks without predefined module boundaries. Using functio...
Large language model agents that use tools could take on part of the electronic health record and desk work that occupies physicians' time, but in many hospitals the medical information systems run inside closed networks, so the model and the agent harness must also be inside the network. We designed, implemented, and...

We propose a neural exploratory framework for variational problems over graphons, i.e., symmetric measurable functions $[0,1]^2 \to [0,1]$, that arise as limits of dense graph sequences. Such problems are central to two parts of the mathematical literature: extremal graph theory, which studies graph parameter optimisat...

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is often highly sensitive to learning-rate (LR) choices. Recent empirical studies suggest that, once LRs are carefully tuned, vanilla LoRA can remain competitive with many proposed LoRA variants. This shifts the central practical question from designing ever more variants to reducing the cost...
