Backpropagation destroys V1 brain alignment in one epoch, tracking RSA alignment to fMRI across training for BP, FA, predictive coding, and STDP [R]

Comparative study of learning rules (backprop, feedback alignment, predictive coding, STDP) via RSA alignment with human V1 fMRI. Backprop destroys 90% of V1 alignment after 1 epoch (r: 0.102→0.011), while PC and STDP lose only 25-31%. At epoch 40: PC/STDP >> BP/FA. Suggests fundamental trade-off between global error signals (higher layers) and early-layer alignment.

Building a free, offline LLM “tutor” grounded in one university textbook — RAG, LoRA, or both? Sanity check wanted

Developer seeks to build a free offline AI tutor grounded in a university textbook. Proposed architecture: RAG as core component (chunking, embedding, retrieval with page/section citations) + optional LoRA for pedagogical style. Questions on model selection (Qwen, Gemma), handling complex structures (figures, equations), and packaging for non-technical users.

LLM agents patch security bugs, pass all tests, but still leave the vulnerability open [R]

CVE-Bench evaluates 5 frontier models on 20 real-world CVEs (Pillow, GitPython, urllib3, etc.) across 300 runs. Max solve rate 50% (60% under advisory). Agents patch syntactically but leave vulnerabilities open. Significant cross-family gaps (OpenAI vs Laguna, p<0.05), within-family noise. Failure modes: wrong-search drift, hallucinations, context loss.

RAFT: Data Refinement and Adaptive Distillation for Domain Fine-Tuning with Alleviated Forgetting

RAFT is a two-stage domain fine-tuning method that mitigates catastrophic forgetting. It refines data via self-conditioned rewriting and answer fusion, then applies on-policy distillation where the original model provides soft targets on student-generated trajectories. Across five domains, RAFT improves domain accuracy by 23.2% over standard SFT and recovers 18.2% of degradation on MS-Bench.

Graph-Augmented Retrieval for Cross-Entity Financial Sentiment Analysis: A Comparative Study

Comparative study of a two-hop Graph-RAG architecture versus standard vector-only RAG for cross-entity financial sentiment analysis. On 100 queries (30 direct, 70 relational), Graph-RAG improves entity recall (+6.4%, p<0.001) and answer relevancy for complex queries (+11.7%), with no quality degradation, modest 22.6% latency increase but 80% variance reduction.

MindZero: Learning Online Mental Reasoning With Zero Annotations

MindZero is a self-supervised reinforcement learning framework training multimodal LLMs to infer human mental states without annotations. The model is rewarded for generating mental state hypotheses that maximize the likelihood of observed actions. After training, inference becomes fast single-pass and outperforms model-based methods in both accuracy and efficiency.

Parameter Alignment Mitigates Catastrophic Forgetting in Multilingual Expert Language Models

Study on preventing catastrophic forgetting during continual pretraining of multilingual language models. Authors propose five parameter alignment strategies (layer freezing, regularization, post-hoc reversion, model merging) tested across 32 languages and four evaluation axes. Parameter alignment substantially reduces forgetting while maintaining language acquisition.

The Deterministic Horizon: When Extended Reasoning Fails and Tool Delegation Becomes Necessary

Decoder-only models hit an information-theoretic limit in deterministic state-tracking tasks beyond ~25 steps. An Attention Bottleneck Theorem bounds capacity to O(H·log(L/H)·√dh). Across 12 models and 8 domains (SWE-Bench, WebArena, SQL), tool delegation achieves 86-94% vs 24-42% for pure neural reasoning. Fine-tuning improves <5%, confirming an architectural ceiling.

Threshold-Based Exclusive Batching for LLM Inference

arXiv paper on LLM inference batching optimization. Authors demonstrate mixed batching (MB) is suboptimal on bandwidth-constrained GPUs: exclusive batching (EB) achieves 41.9% higher throughput on RTX PRO 6000 (1.792 TB/s). They propose EB+, a hybrid scheduler that dynamically switches between EB and MB based on GPU bandwidth, model size, and workload composition, reaching 36.4% gains under non-stationary traffic.

Closed-Loop Neural Activation Control in Vision-Language-Action Models

CTRL-STEER introduces a closed-loop control framework for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. Instead of fixed steering coefficients, it adaptively adjusts intervention strength over time using PID or reinforcement learning controllers. Experiments on OpenVLA with LIBERO task suites demonstrate improved concept regulation stability and better steering-task success trade-offs without retraining the base model.

BOUTEF: A Multilingual Corpus for FakeNews in North Africa -- Language as a Weapon

BOUTEF is a multilingual corpus from 2 countries (Algeria, Tunisia) covering fake news, authentic narratives, comments, and debunking. Includes MSA, Algerian/Tunisian dialects, Arabizi, French, English, and code-switching. Analysis shows fake news relies on emotionally charged narratives and sensational framing, while debunking adopts a factual, verification-oriented style.

TIGER: Traceable Inference with Graph-Based Evidence Routing for Mitigating Hallucinations in Multimodal Generation

TIGER is an inference-time framework to mitigate hallucinations in multimodal generation. It independently extracts an observation graph from input and a claim graph from output, then assigns risk scores to claims based on support and conflict. The model repairs high-risk claims while keeping the backbone frozen. Convergence analysis shows geometric risk reduction to an explicit asymptotic bound.

Which Institutional Frameworks Do Chatbots Assume? Auditing Jurisdictional Defaults in Multilingual LLMs

Audit of 7 LLMs (US/China) on 2,520 responses to 60 legal-administrative prompts in English and Mandarin. Models default to the institutional framework of input language: 74.5% of English responses adopt US framework, 53.3% of Chinese responses adopt China framework. Risk of jurisdictional misselection when preferred language differs from applicable jurisdiction.
