Statistically Undetectable Backdoors in Deep Neural Networks

"We show how an adversarial model trainer can plant backdoors in a large class of deep, feedforward neural networks. These backdoors are statistically undetectable in the white-box setting, meaning that the backdoored and honestly trained models are close in total variation distance, even given the f..."

When the Judge Changes, So Does the Measurement: Auditing LLM-as-Judge Reliability

"An LLM-as-judge score can move even when the candidate responses stay fixed, simply because the evaluator has changed. We treat this evaluator-replacement ambiguity as a measurement-validity problem. Across four judgment datasets, we compare two upgrade paths available in practice: scaling Qwen3 den..."

DominoTree: Conditional Tree-Structured Drafting with Domino for Speculative Decoding

Latent Memory Palace: Reasoning for Control as Autoregressive Variational Inference

The Illusion of Equivalency: Statistical Characterization of Quantization Effects in LLMs

"Post-training quantization is widely used to deploy large language models in resource-constrained settings, yet its evaluation relies almost exclusively on accuracy and perplexity. We show that these metrics fail to capture behavioral changes induced by quantization. We introduce correctness agreeme..."

Workflow as Knowledge: Semantic Persistence for LLM-Mediated Workflows

Existing workflow systems already address many execution concerns. This paper proposes a Lisp-inspired but language-independent conceptual model: symboli..."

Neural Collapse Is Forbidden: Information Floors in Language Models

Self-Guided Test-Time Training for Long-Context LLMs

It Takes a MAESTRO To Prune Bad Experts

Existing structured pruning method..."

Do You Need a Frontier Model as a Citation Verifier? Benchmarking Rubric LLMs for Deep-Research Source Attribution

Two Axes of LLM Abstention: Answer Correctness and Question Answerability

The usual recipe thresholds a single confidence score, which cannot tell these apart. Across five instruction-tuned models..."

Resample or Reroute? Budget-Aware Test-Time Model Selection for Large Language Models

Super Weights in LLMs and the Failure of Selective Training
