Beyond Flat Netlist: Hierarchical Graph Representation Learning for Scalable Analysis of Sequential Circuits

DeepSeq3 is introduced, a novel hierarchical framework that abstracts circuits into a two-level representation: fine-grained combinational subgraphs partitioned by flip-flops (FFs) and a high-level Super-Node Graph (SNG) that models the register-transfer structure.

The Approximation Rank of Softmax Attention: Sharp Geometric Laws and Robust Interaction Dimension

These results separate support geometry, which sets worst-case temperature scaling, from softmax-visible interaction geometry, which controls per-head approximation complexity, from softmax-visible interaction geometry, which controls per-head approximation complexity.

CheXtriev: Anatomy-Centered Representation for Case-Based Retrieval of Chest Radiographs

We present CheXtriev, a graph-based, anatomy-aware framework for chest radiograph retrieval. Unlike prior methods focussed on global features, our method leverages graph transformers to extract informative features from specific anatomical regions. Furthermore, it captures spatial context and the interplay between anatomical location and findings. This contextualization, grounded in evidence-based anatomy, results in a richer anatomy-aware representation and leads to more accurate, effective and efficient retrieval, particularly for less prevalent findings. CheXtriv outperforms state-of-the-art global and local approaches by 18% to 26% in retrieval accuracy and 11% to 23% in ranking quality. The code is available at https://github.com/cvit-mip/chextriev.

VICT: Verifier-Instrumented Credit Tracing for Long-Horizon LLM Agent Reinforcement Learning

VICT (VerifierInstrumented Credit Tracing), a training-time interface that exposes executable or evidence backed atoms and traces them back to actions through dependency-valid proof edges, improves substantially over outcome-only training and achieves strong performance alongside recent fine-grained credit methods.

Do Medical Vision Models Reason About Anatomy? Probing the Spatial Inductive Biases of Learned Visual Representations

The results suggest medical vision encoders carry a map of where organs usually lie, and little of the machinery for comparing structures within a particular patient, in addition to five architectural configurations and three medical foundation models, frozen and finetuned.

Explainable Uncertainty Estimation for Reliable Medical AI

The Expected Gradients Reconstruction Uncertainty Estimate (egRUE), which incorporates prediction explanations into its uncertainty computation and decomposes uncertainty into feature-wise contributions, and proves theoretical properties of egRUE and shows that it improves reliability and interpretability compared to existing methods.

Twin Worlds: Equivariance-Based Abstention for Evidence-Grounded Reasoning

Twin Worlds (TW), a framework for improving reliability in knowledge-intensive reasoning through equivariance-based abstention, is proposed, which identifies when answers are not reliably grounded in the provided evidence and outperforms uncertainty- and sufficiency-based baselines.

A Method for Layer Bit-Width Allocation in LLM Quantization via Performance Maximization Under a Quality-Degradation Constraint

It is found that for FFN and lm_head the time cost of quantization/dequantization is compensated for by the use of integer arithmetic, while for short context lengths, the opposite holds true for Attention: an additional step of quantization slows execution down.

Not to Break, but to Attest: Adversarial Probes for Privacy-Preserving LLM Verification

A privacy-preserving zk-SNARK-based audit framework that searches for probes designed in the spirit of adversarial examples to amplify logit drift between an approved model and a modified deployment and demonstrates that token-based probes consistently deliver the strongest mean sensitivity across models and GPU platforms, although operating in a black-box setting.

OpenStamp: A Watermark for Open-Source Language Models

This work introduces OpenStamp, a watermarking technique that encodes the watermarking logic directly into the model weights by modifying only the final projection, or unembedding, layer, and shows that OpenStamp achieves superior detection performance, with minimal degradation in model capabilities compared to prior methods.
