오픈 LLM의 최대 활성값 측정
The dynamic range of activations is a first-order constraint for low-bit quantization, activation scaling, and stable LLM inference. Prior work characterized outlier features and massive activations on pre-2024 LLaMA-style models, and the downstream activation-quantization stack inherits that picture without revisiting it for the post-LLaMA open-model boom. We ask the deployment-oriented question: how large can activations get in modern open LLMs, and how does this magnitude vary across families, generations, and training stages? Under a unified pipeline (5,000-sample multi-domain corpus, family-specific tokenization, identical hooks across embeddings, hidden states, attention, MLP/MoE, SwiGLU gates, and final norm), we measure global and layerwise maxima on 27 checkpoints from 8 open families spanning dense, MoE, vision-language, intermediate-training, and instruction-tuned variants. We find that (i) global maxima span over nearly four orders of magnitude at comparable parameter count

Mean Mode Screaming: Mean--Variance Split Residuals for 1000-Layer Diffusion Transformers
Scaling Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) to hundreds of layers introduces a structural vulnerability: networks can enter a silent, mean-dominated collapse state that homogenizes token representations and suppresses centered variation. Through mechanistic auditing, we isolate the trigger event of this collapse as Mean Mode Screaming (MMS). MMS can occur even when training appears stable, with a mean-coherent backward shock on residual writers that opens deep residual branches and drives the network into a mean-dominated state. We show this behavior is driven by an exact decomposition of these gradients into mean-coherent and centered components, compounded by the structural suppression of attention-logit gradients through the null space of the Softmax Jacobian once values homogenize.
To address this, we propose Mean-Variance Split (MV-Split) Residuals, which combine a separately gained centered residual update with a leaky trunk-mean replacement. On a 400-layer single-stream DiT, MV-Spli

CreativityBench: Evaluating Agent Creative Reasoning via Affordance-Based Tool Repurposing
Recent advances in large language models have led to strong performance on reasoning and environment-interaction tasks, yet their ability for creative problem-solving remains underexplored. We study this capability through the lens of creative tool use, where a model repurposes available objects by reasoning about their affordances and attributes rather than relying on canonical usage. As a first step, we introduce CreativityBench, a benchmark for evaluating affordance-based creativity in LLMs. To this end, we build a large-scale affordance knowledge base (KB) with 4K entities and 150K+ affordance annotations, explicitly linking objects, parts, attributes, and actionable uses. Building on this KB, we generate 14K grounded tasks that require identifying non-obvious yet physically plausible solutions under constraints. Evaluations across 10 state-of-the-art LLMs, including closed and open-source models, show that models can often select a plausible object, but fail to identify the correc

Chain of Evidence: Pixel-Level Visual Attribution for Iterative Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Iterative Retrieval-Augmented Generation (iRAG) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for answering complex multi-hop questions by progressively retrieving and reasoning over external documents. However, current systems predominantly operate on parsed text, which creates two critical bottlenecks: (1) Coarse-grained attribution, where users are burdened with manually locating evidence within lengthy documents based on vague text-level citations; and (2) Visual semantic loss, where the conversion of visually rich documents (e.g., slides, PDFs with charts) into text discards spatial logic and layout cues essential for reasoning. To bridge this gap, we present Chain of Evidence (CoE), a retriever-agnostic visual attribution framework that leverages Vision-Language Models to reason directly over screenshots of retrieved document candidates. CoE eliminates format-specific parsing and outputs precise bounding boxes, visualizing the complete reasoning chain within the retrieved candidate set. We

The Geometric Alignment Tax: Tokenization vs. Continuous Geometry in Scientific Foundation Models
Foundation models for biology and physics optimize predictive accuracy, but their internal representations systematically fail to preserve the continuous geometry of the systems they model. We identify the root cause: the Geometric Alignment Tax, an intrinsic cost of forcing continuous manifolds through discrete categorical bottlenecks. Controlled ablations on synthetic dynamical systems demonstrate that replacing cross-entropy with a continuous head on an identical encoder reduces geometric distortion by up to 8.5x, while learned codebooks exhibit a non-monotonic double bind where finer quantization worsens geometry despite improving reconstruction. Under continuous objectives, three architectures differ by 1.3x; under discrete tokenization, they diverge by 3,000x. Evaluating 14 biological foundation models with rate-distortion theory and MINE, we identify three failure regimes: Local-Global Decoupling, Representational Compression, and Geometric Vacuity.

A Hybrid Approach for Closing the Sim2real Appearance Gap in Game Engine Synthetic Datasets
Video game engines have been an important source for generating large volumes of visual synthetic datasets for training and evaluating computer vision algorithms that are to be deployed in the real world. While the visual fidelity of modern game engines has been significantly improved with technologies such as ray-tracing, a notable sim2real appearance gap between the synthetic and the real-world images still remains, which limits the utilization of synthetic datasets in real-world applications. In this letter, we investigate the ability of a state-of-the-art image generation and editing diffusion model (FLUX.2-4B Klein) to enhance the photorealism of synthetic datasets and compare its performance against a traditional image-to-image translation model (REGEN). Furthermore, we propose a hybrid approach that combines the strong geometry and material transformations of diffusion-based methods with the distribution-matching capabilities of image-to-image translation techniques.

추론 모델 위한 가치 인식 확률적 KV 캐시 제거 기법
Reasoning models improve accuracy through extended chains of thought, but their long outputs create a memory and compute bottleneck. KV cache eviction methods reduce this cost by evicting unimportant key-value pairs from the cache, yet they often yield worse accuracy than selection-based sparse attention alternatives, which keep the full KV cache. We identify key factors crucial to KV cache eviction accuracy. First, a small fraction of value states have abnormally large magnitudes, and evicting them causes catastrophic failure where models enter repetitive reasoning loops. Second, introducing stochasticity during eviction improves accuracy by increasing cache diversity. Based on these findings, we propose Value-aware Stochastic KV Cache Eviction (VaSE), a training-free recipe that protects large-magnitude value states and promotes diverse eviction decisions. Across six reasoning tasks, Qwen3 models using VaSE with 4x KV cache compression yield higher average accuracies than SOTA select

The TTS-STT Flywheel: Synthetic Entity-Dense Audio Closes the Indic ASR Gap Where Commercial and Open-Source Systems Fail
Niche-domain Indic ASR -- digit strings, currency amounts, addresses, brand names, English/Indic codemix -- is under-served by both open-source SOTA and commercial systems. On a synthesised entity-dense Telugu test set (held-out by synthesis system), vasista22/whisper-telugu-large-v2 (open SOTA) achieves Entity-Hit-Rate (EHR) 0.027 and Deepgram Nova-3 (commercial) 0.16. We close this gap with a self-contained TTS<->STT flywheel: an open-source Indic TTS pipeline synthesises ~22,000 entity-dense Indic-English code-mix utterances at <$50 marginal cost, and a LoRA fine-tune on top of vasista22 achieves EHR 0.473 on the held-out test (17x over open SOTA, 3x over commercial), with read-prose regression bounded to +6.6 pp WER on FLEURS-Te. Cross-language: beta-Hi 0.337 (7x vs vasista22) and beta-Ta 0.543 (22x vs vasista22, 22x vs Deepgram); on Hindi where Deepgram has substantial entity coverage, the flywheel underperforms commercial.

조향된 LLM 활성값은 전사 함수가 아니다
Activation steering is a popular white-box control technique that modifies model activations to elicit an abstract change in its behavior. It has also become a standard tool in interpretability (e.g., probing truthfulness, or translating activations into human-readable explanations) and safety research (e.g., jailbreakability). However, it is unclear whether steered behavior is realizable by any textual prompt. In this work, we cast this question as a surjectivity problem: for a fixed model, does every steered activation admit a preimage under the model's natural forward pass? Under practical assumptions, we prove that activation steering pushes the residual stream off the manifold of states reachable from discrete prompts. Almost surely, no prompt can reproduce the same internal behavior induced by steering. We also illustrate this finding empirically across three widely used LLMs. Our results establish a formal separation between white-box steerability and black-box prompting. We the

EndPrompt: 터미널 앵커링으로 긴 컨텍스트를 효율적으로 확장
Extending the context window of large language models typically requires training on sequences at the target length, incurring quadratic memory and computational costs that make long-context adaptation expensive and difficult to reproduce. We propose EndPrompt, a method that achieves effective context extension using only short training sequences. The core insight is that exposing a model to long-range relative positional distances does not require constructing full-length inputs: we preserve the original short context as an intact first segment and append a brief terminal prompt as a second segment, assigning it positional indices near the target context length. This two-segment construction introduces both local and long-range relative distances within a short physical sequence while maintaining the semantic continuity of the training text--a property absent in chunk-based simulation approaches that split contiguous context.

What Makes an LLM a Good Optimizer? A Trajectory Analysis of LLM-Guided Evolutionary Search
Recent work has demonstrated the promise of orchestrating large language models (LLMs) within evolutionary and agentic optimization systems. However, the mechanisms driving these optimization gains remain poorly understood. In this work, we present a large-scale study of LLM-guided evolutionary search, collecting optimization trajectories for 15 LLMs across 8 tasks. Although zero-shot problem-solving ability correlates with final optimization outcomes, it explains only part of the variance: models with similar initial capability often induce dramatically different search trajectories and outcomes. By analyzing these trajectories, we find that strong LLM optimizers behave as local refiners, producing frequent incremental improvements while progressively localizing the search in semantic space. Conversely, weaker optimizers exhibit large semantic drift, with sporadic breakthroughs followed by stagnation. Notably, various measures of solution novelty do not predict final performance; nove

Probing Visual Planning in Image Editing Models
Visual planning represents a crucial facet of human intelligence, especially in tasks that require complex spatial reasoning and navigation. Yet, in machine learning, this inherently visual problem is often tackled through a verbal-centric lens. While recent research demonstrates the promise of fully visual approaches, they suffer from significant computational inefficiency due to the step-by-step planning-by-generation paradigm. In this work, we present EAR, an editing-as-reasoning paradigm that reformulates visual planning as a single-step image transformation. To isolate intrinsic reasoning from visual recognition, we employ abstract puzzles as probing tasks and introduce AMAZE, a procedurally generated dataset that features the classical Maze and Queen problems, covering distinct, complementary forms of visual planning. The abstract nature of AMAZE also facilitates automatic evaluation of autoregressive and diffusion-based models in terms of both pixel-wise fidelity and logical val

MM-JudgeBias: A Benchmark for Evaluating Compositional Biases in MLLM-as-a-Judge
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have been increasingly used as automatic evaluators-a paradigm known as MLLM-as-a-Judge. However, their reliability and vulnerabilities to biases remain underexplored. We find that many MLLM judges fail to reliably integrate key visual or textual cues, yielding unreliable evaluations when evidence is missing or mismatched, and exhibiting instability under semantically irrelevant perturbations. To address this, we systematically define Compositional Bias in MLLM-as-a-Judge systems and introduce MM-JudgeBias, a benchmark for evaluating it. MM-JudgeBias introduces controlled perturbations across Query, Image, and Response, and evaluates model behavior via two complementary metrics: Bias-Deviation (BD) for sensitivity and Bias-Conformity (BC) for stability. Our dataset of over 1,800 curated and refined multimodal samples, drawn from 29 source benchmarks, enables a fine-grained diagnosis of nine bias types across diverse tasks and domains. Experiment

Polyglot Teachers: Evaluating Language Models for Multilingual Synthetic Data Generation
Synthesizing supervised finetuning (SFT) data from language models (LMs) to teach smaller models multilingual tasks has become increasingly common. However, teacher model selection is often ad hoc, typically defaulting to the largest available option, even though such models may have significant capability gaps in non-English languages. This practice can result in poor-quality synthetic data and suboptimal student downstream performance. In this work, we systematically characterize what makes an effective multilingual teacher. We measure intrinsic measures of data quality with extrinsic student model performance in a metric we call Polyglot Score; evaluating 10 LMs across 6 typologically diverse languages, generating over 1.4M SFT examples and training 240 student models. Among the models tested, Gemma 3 27B and Aya Expanse 32B emerge as consistently effective teachers across different student base model families.

대형 추론 모델의 비판 메커니즘 해부
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) exhibit backtracking and self-verification mechanisms that enable them to revise intermediate steps and reach correct solutions, yielding strong performance on complex logical benchmarks. We hypothesize that such behaviors are beneficial only when the model has sufficiently strong ``critique'' ability to detect its own mistakes. This work systematically investigates how current LRMs recover from errors by inserting arithmetic mistakes in their intermediate reasoning steps. Notably, we discover a peculiar yet important phenomenon: despite the error propagating throughout the entire chain-of-thought (CoT) without any verbalized correction, the model still reaches the correct final answer after the thinking process finishes. This recovery implies the existence of an internal mechanism helping the model to detect errors and trigger self-correction, which we refer to as the hidden critique ability. Building on feature space analysis, we identify a highly interp

Taming Actor-Observer Asymmetry in Agents via Dialectical Alignment
Large Language Model agents have rapidly evolved from static text generators into dynamic systems capable of executing complex autonomous workflows. To enhance reliability, multi-agent frameworks assigning specialized roles are increasingly adopted to enable self-reflection and mutual auditing. While such role-playing effectively leverages domain expert knowledge, we find it simultaneously induces a human-like cognitive bias known as Actor-Observer Asymmetry (AOA). Specifically, an agent acting as an actor (during self-reflection) tends to attribute failures to external factors, whereas an observer (during mutual auditing) attributes the same errors to internal faults. We quantify this using our new Ambiguous Failure Benchmark, which reveals that simply swapping perspectives triggers the AOA effect in over 20% of cases for most models. To tame this bias, we introduce ReTAS (Reasoning via Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis), a model trained through dialectical alignment to enforce perspective-

Linear probes trained on LLM activations are increasingly proposed as deception-detection metrics, yet report AUROC exceeding 0.96 on clean benchmarks while collapsing under distributional shift. This paper systematically pressure-tests probe-based metrics across the Gemma 3 model family (1B-27B parameters), diagnosing why they fail rather than merely documenting that they fail. We test four hypotheses about deception encoding: (1) single linear direction, (2) multi-dimensional subspace, (3) convex conic hull, (4) entropy proxy. Our design includes cross-domain transfer matrices, multi-dimensional probe analysis with permutation null baselines, entropy-residualization tests, and distractor evaluations across 8 stylistic shifts. We find that: (a) probes achieve near-perfect AUROC (>=0.998) on clean data but collapse under stylistic shifts; style-augmented probes recover near-perfect detection (mean AUROC 0.979-0.983) on unseen styles; (b) the single-direction hypothesis is rejected (k=1

EmpiriGraph-Psy, 심리학 초록에서 경험적 관계 그래프를 추출하는 데이터셋·LLM 파이프라인
Existing scientific relation extraction benchmarks mainly target domains such as computer science, where entities are tasks, methods, datasets, materials, or metrics. This leaves a gap in variable-oriented empirical fields such as psychology, where findings are expressed as relations among constructs, measurements, interventions, and outcomes. We introduce variable-centered empirical graph extraction, the task of mapping scientific abstracts to typed graphs whose nodes are normalized variables and whose edges represent empirical and hierarchical relations. To support this task, we construct EmpiriGraph-Psy, a benchmark of 210 psychology abstracts annotated by domain-trained annotators with normalized variables, concept hierarchies, empirical relation types, and validation states. We evaluate frontier and open-weight LLMs using both direct extraction and a staged graph-construction pipeline that separates variable extraction, normalization, hierarchy construction, evidence selection, re

CPCANet: Deep Unfolding Common Principal Component Analysis for Domain Generalization
Domain Generalization (DG) aims to learn representations that remain robust under out-of-distribution (OOD) shifts and generalize effectively to unseen target domains. While recent invariant learning strategies and architectural advances have achieved strong performance, explicitly discovering a structured domain-invariant subspace through second-order statistics remains underexplored. In this work, we propose CPCANet, a novel framework grounded in Common Principal Component Analysis (CPCA), which unrolls the iterative Flury-Gautschi (FG) algorithm into fully differentiable neural layers. This approach integrates the statistical properties of CPCA into an end-to-end trainable framework, enforcing the discovery of a shared subspace across diverse domains while preserving interpretability. Experiments on four standard DG benchmarks demonstrate that CPCANet achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in zero-shot transfer. Moreover, CPCANet is architecture-agnostic and requires no datase

MASCing: Configurable Mixture-of-Experts Behavior via Activation Steering Masks
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures in Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly reduced inference costs through sparse activation. However, this sparse activation paradigm also introduces new safety challenges. Since only a subset of experts is engaged for each input, model behavior becomes coupled to routing decisions, yielding a difficult-to-control mechanism that can vary across safety-relevant scenarios. At the same time, adapting model behavior through full fine-tuning or retraining is costly, especially when developers need to rapidly configure the same model for different safety objectives. We present MASCing (MoE Activation Steering Configuration), the first framework that enables flexible reconfiguration of MoE behavior across diverse safety scenarios without retraining. MASCing uses an LSTM-based surrogate model to capture cross-layer routing dependencies and map routing logits to downstream behaviors. It then optimizes a steering matrix to identify behavior-relevan

효율적인 장문맥 생성을 위한 컨텍스트 메모리화
Modern large language model (LLM) applications increasingly rely on long conditioning prefixes to control model behavior at inference time. While prefix-augmented inference is effective, it incurs two structural limitations: i) the prefix's influence fades as generation proceeds, and ii) attention computation over the prefix scales linearly with its length. Existing approaches either keep the prefix in attention while compressing it, or internalize it into model parameters through gradient-based training. The former still attends to the prefix at inference, while the latter is training-intensive and ill-suited to prefix updates. To address these issues, we propose attention-state memory, a training-free approach that externalizes the prefix into a lightweight, lookup-based memory of precomputed attention states between prefix and query tokens. On ManyICLBench with LLaMA-3.1-8B, our method improves accuracy over in-context learning at 1K-8K memory budgets while reducing attention latenc

GeoStack: A Framework for Quasi-Abelian Knowledge Composition in VLMs
We address the challenge of knowledge composition in Vision-Language Models (VLMs), where accumulating expertise across multiple domains or tasks typically leads to catastrophic forgetting. We introduce GeoStack (Geometric Stacking), a modular framework that allows independently trained domain experts to be composed into a unified model. By imposing geometric and structural constraints on the adapter manifold, GeoStack ensures the foundational knowledge of the base model is preserved. Furthermore, we mathematically demonstrate a weight-folding property that achieves constant-time inference complexity (O(1)), regardless of the number of integrated experts. Experimental results across multi-domain adaptation and class-incremental learning show that GeoStack provides an efficient mechanism for long-term knowledge composition while significantly mitigating catastrophic forgetting.

언어모델 에이전트 집단의 창발 언어: 토큰 효율성에서 감독 회피까지
Monitoring autonomous language model agents currently relies mostly on surface behavior. But what happens when agent populations invent new languages with the goal of avoiding human oversight. Here, we study the emergent languages on Moltbook. For this, we build upon the Moltbook Files dataset and apply a two-stage approach consisting of a rule-based heuristic (about 6000 matches) followed by zero-shot classification (518 kept). The resulting categories include token efficiency (166), new natural languages (106), and oversight evasion (59). We conduct both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Our results show that posts proposing new languages for avoiding oversight are judged by DeepSeek-3.2 as being less aligned than the other categories and that all languages can be learned by other language models in-context merely from a description of the language. Moreover, manually studying exemplary cases reveals surprisingly sophisticated steganographic protocols like embedding hidden messa

FRAPPE: 프로젝션 추구 인코더 기반 전체 입력·잔차 출력 오토인코딩
Media compression standards have reached a plateau in terms of the rate-distortion-complexity trade-off, limiting the ability to offload expensive AI perception to the cloud in applications like robotics, wearables, and remote sensing. DNN-based codecs improve compression efficiency, but at a cost: they cannot easily adapt to large changes in available bitrate, and real-time encoding requires expensive, power-hungry GPUs that prohibit use on low-cost or resource-constrained platforms. To address these limitations, we propose a novel autoencoding framework (FRAPPE) that uses the Full input to predict the Residual output via a Projection Pursuit Encoder. FRAPPE's encoding objective naturally sorts latent channels by importance, allowing zero-overhead variable-rate coding. Unlike RNN-based learned codecs, whose encoder consumes the previous reconstruction's residual, or RVQ-style codecs, whose codebooks must be applied sequentially, FRAPPE's analysis path is an embarrassingly parallel DAG

OPRD: 온폴리시 표현 증류
On-policy distillation (OPD) supervises the student only in output space by matching next-token probabilities. This output-only paradigm has two limits: (1) sampling variance from Monte Carlo KL estimates over large vocabularies (e.g., Qwen's ~150k tokens) persists throughout training, and (2) it treats the teacher as a black-box, discarding all intermediate hidden states after the LM head. We propose On-Policy Representation Distillation (OPRD), which lifts distillation into hidden-state space by aligning student and teacher representations across selected layers on the same rollouts, bypassing the LM head entirely. Theoretically, OPRD eliminates sampling variance and provides richer per-layer structural information. Empirically, OPRD closes the student-teacher gap on AIME 2024/2025 and AIMO, while output-space OPD baselines plateau below the teacher. OPRD also trains 1.44x faster and uses 54% less memory than top-k OPD. Code: https://github.com/ShenzhiYang2000/OPRD.

PSP: An Interpretable Per-Dimension Accent Benchmark for Indic Text-to-Speech
Standard text-to-speech (TTS) evaluation measures intelligibility (WER, CER) and overall naturalness (MOS, UTMOS) but does not quantify accent. A synthesiser may score well on all four yet sound non-native on features that are phonemic in the target language. For Indic languages, these features include retroflex articulation, aspiration, vowel length, and the Tamil retroflex approximant (letter zha). We present PSP, the Phoneme Substitution Profile, an interpretable, per-phonological-dimension accent benchmark for Indic TTS. PSP decomposes accent into six complementary dimensions: retroflex collapse rate (RR), aspiration fidelity (AF), vowel-length fidelity (LF), Tamil-zha fidelity (ZF), Frechet Audio Distance (FAD), and prosodic signature divergence (PSD). The first four are measured via forced alignment plus native-speaker-centroid acoustic probes over Wav2Vec2-XLS-R layer-9 embeddings; the latter two are corpus-level distributional distances.

MoVE: Translating Laughter and Tears via Mixture of Vocalization Experts in Speech-to-Speech Translation
Recent Speech-to-Speech Translation (S2ST) systems achieve strong semantic accuracy yet consistently strip away non-verbal vocalizations (NVs), such as laughter and crying that convey pragmatic intent, which severely limits real-world utility. We address this via three contributions. First, we propose a synthesis pipeline for building scalable expressive datasets to overcome the data scarcity limitation. Second, we propose MoVE, a Mixture-of-LoRA-Experts architecture with expressive-specialized adapters and a soft-weighting router that blends experts for capturing hybrid expressive states. Third, we show pretrained AudioLLMs enable striking data efficiency: 30 minutes of curated data is enough for strong performance. On English-Chinese S2ST, while comparing with strong baselines, MoVE reproduces target NVs in 76% of cases and achieves the highest human-rated naturalness and emotional fidelity among all compared systems, where existing S2ST systems preserve at most 14% of NVs.

Praxy Voice: Voice-Prompt Recovery + BUPS for Commercial-Class Indic TTS from a Frozen Non-Indic Base at Zero Commercial-Training-Data Cost
Commercial TTS systems produce near-native Indic audio, but the best open-source bases (Chatterbox, Indic Parler-TTS, IndicF5) trail them on measured phonological dimensions, and the most widely adopted multilingual base (Chatterbox, 23 languages) does not even tokenise Telugu or Tamil.

Understanding 3D objects from images is fundamental to robotics and AR/VR applications.
