🔬 RESEARCH

Addressing divergent representations from causal interventions on neural networks

via Arxiv 👤 Satchel Grant, Simon Jerome Han, Alexa Tartaglini et al. 📅 2025-11-06

⚡ Score: 6.9

"A common approach to mechanistic interpretability is to causally manipulate model representations via targeted interventions in order to understand what those representations encode. Here we ask whether such interventions create out-of-distribution (divergent) representations, and whether this raise..."

🔬 RESEARCH

Large language models replicate and predict human cooperation across experiments in game theory

via Arxiv 👤 Andrea Cera Palatsi, Samuel Martin-Gutierrez, Ana S. Cardenal et al. 📅 2025-11-06

⚡ Score: 6.8

"Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used both to make decisions in domains such as health, education and law, and to simulate human behavior. Yet how closely LLMs mirror actual human decision-making remains poorly understood. This gap is critical: misalignment could produce harmful outcome..."

Optimal Inference Schedules for Masked Diffusion Models

via Arxiv 👤 Sitan Chen, Kevin Cong, Jerry Li 📅 2025-11-06

⚡ Score: 6.6

"A major bottleneck of standard auto-regressive large language models is that their inference process is inherently sequential, resulting in very long and costly inference times. To circumvent this, practitioners proposed a class of language models called diffusion language models, of which the maske..."

From Model to Breach: Towards Actionable LLM-Generated Vulnerabilities Reporting

via Arxiv 👤 Cyril Vallez, Alexander Sternfeld, Andrei Kucharavy et al. 📅 2025-11-06

⚡ Score: 6.6

"As the role of Large Language Models (LLM)-based coding assistants in software development becomes more critical, so does the role of the bugs they generate in the overall cybersecurity landscape. While a number of LLM code security benchmarks have been proposed alongside approaches to improve the s..."

VeriCoT: Neuro-symbolic Chain-of-Thought Validation via Logical Consistency Checks

via Arxiv 👤 Yu Feng, Nathaniel Weir, Kaj Bostrom et al. 📅 2025-11-06

⚡ Score: 6.4

"LLMs can perform multi-step reasoning through Chain-of-Thought (CoT), but they cannot reliably verify their own logic. Even when they reach correct answers, the underlying reasoning may be flawed, undermining trust in high-stakes scenarios. To mitigate this issue, we introduce VeriCoT, a neuro-symbo..."
