Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has become the standard approach for adapting large language models (LLMs). However, despite reducing trainable parameter counts, many PEFT methods remain memory-bound by token-level activation intermediates that scale linearly with sequence length, limiting their practicality for...
We establish a stability bound for the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence when its Gaussian reference distribution is perturbed. Existing relaxed triangle inequalities of KL divergence between Gaussian distributions require all three distributions to be Gaussian, which limits their use in applications such as out-of-dist...
Transformers are highly parallel but are limited to computations in the TC$^0$ complexity class, excluding tasks such as entity tracking and code execution that provably require greater expressive power. Motivated by this limitation, we revisit non-linear Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for language modeling and intro...
Large language model (LLM) agents offer a promising data-driven approach to automating Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), yet their enterprise deployment is constrained by three challenges: restricted access to proprietary data, unsafe action execution under permission-governed environments, and the inability of close...

Recent work shows that distinct inputs produce distinct hidden representations in LLMs, so the input can in principle be recovered from them. Yet, no existing method can reliably do so from the model's output text or logits alone. We introduce Sparse One-hot Discrete Adam (SODA), a white-box search-based algorithm that...
Reward models (RMs) are central to aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values, yet noisy preference feedback can induce reward misgeneralization through spurious correlations and overfitting. We characterize the training dynamics of preference pairs and uncover a distinctive optimization signature of noise...
While there are many advantages to deploying machine learning models on edge devices, the resource constraints of mobile platforms, the dynamic nature of the environment, and differences between the distribution of training versus in-the-wild data make such deployments challenging. Current test-time adaptation methods...
Existing research on robust Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) focuses predominantly on undirected graphs, overlooking the trustworthiness inherent in the link directions of directed graphs. In this work, we analyze the limitations of current approaches from both the attack and defense perspectives and redefine the robustnes...
Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) can induce behaviors beyond those explicitly targeted. For example, training a model to respond more warmly can make it more sycophantic, and training it to write insecure code can cause broad misalignment on prompts unrelated to coding. We refer to a relationship between behavi...
Open-ended search combined with foundation models has produced advances such as faster algorithms, new results on open mathematical problems, and self-improving agents. We extend this paradigm to recommendation for decision-making, focusing on decisions where the set of possible choices is fixed but the reasons for cho...
We study how to improve decision policies from observational data to generate better actions when actions are complex, structured objects, such as text messages or images. This task is subject to two major challenges: (i) action-level overlap is often too weak for reliable off-policy evaluation and improvement, and (ii...
Chain-of-thought (CoT) controllability, the ability of reasoning models to control properties of their CoT, is consequential for both their usefulness and reliable oversight. Recent work evaluates this capability by measuring whether models follow CoT constraints given in the user prompt, and reports very low controlla...
