PLE: Physical-Engineering's Last Exam

Rujun Han, Yufan Zhuang, Arijit Ray +11

Frontier language models now score above 90% on popular knowledge benchmarks and are increasingly deployed as agents that carry out multi-hour professional work. Yet no existing be…

Register Tokens for Bounded-State Reasoning in Diffusion Language Models

Albert Ge, Chandan Singh, Yufan Zhuang +3

Masked diffusion language models (dLLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising masked tokens with bidirectional attention. Extending reasoning across generation chunks normally re…

EnvHarness: Awakening Static Worlds for Agent Learning

Chengsong Huang, Zifeng Wang, Rujun Han +14

LLM agents learn by interacting with environments, yet these environments are hand-built and static: blind to an agent's weaknesses, and quickly left behind as it improves. While r…

Test-time Recursive Thinking: Self-Improvement without External Feedback

Yufan Zhuang, Chandan Singh, Liyuan Liu +5

Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown rapid improvements in reasoning capabilities, driven largely by reinforcement learning (RL) with verifiable rewards. Here, we ask whe…

Text Generation Beyond Discrete Token Sampling

Yufan Zhuang, Liyuan Liu, Chandan Singh +2

In standard autoregressive generation, an LLM predicts the next-token distribution, samples a discrete token, and then discards the distribution, passing only the sampled token as…

Self-Taught Agentic Long Context Understanding

Yufan Zhuang, Xiaodong Yu, Jialian Wu +7

Answering complex, long-context questions remains a major challenge for large language models (LLMs) as it requires effective question clarifications and context retrieval. We prop…

Vector-ICL: In-context Learning with Continuous Vector Representations

Yufan Zhuang, Chandan Singh, Liyuan Liu +2

Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable in-context learning (ICL) capabilities on textual data. We explore whether these capabilities can be extended to continuous vecto…

Data Contamination Can Cross Language Barriers

Feng Yao, Yufan Zhuang, Zihao Sun +3

The opacity in developing large language models (LLMs) is raising growing concerns about the potential contamination of public benchmarks in the pre-training data. Existing contami…

Learning a Decision Tree Algorithm with Transformers

Yufan Zhuang, Liyuan Liu, Chandan Singh +2

Decision trees are renowned for their ability to achieve high predictive performance while remaining interpretable, especially on tabular data. Traditionally, they are constructed…

Rate-Splitting with Hybrid Messages: DoF Analysis of the Two-User MIMO Broadcast Channel with Imperfect CSIT

Tong Zhang, Yufan Zhuang, Gaojie Chen +4

Most of the existing research on degrees-of-freedom (DoF) with imperfect channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) assume the messages are private, which may not reflect…

WavSpA: Wavelet Space Attention for Boosting Transformers' Long Sequence Learning Ability

Yufan Zhuang, Zihan Wang, Fangbo Tao +1

Transformer and its variants are fundamental neural architectures in deep learning. Recent works show that learning attention in the Fourier space can improve the long sequence lea…

The Generalized Degrees-of-Freedom of the Asymmetric Interference Channel with Delayed CSIT

Tong Zhang, Yufan Zhuang, Yinfei Xu

In this paper, we investigate the generalized degrees-of-freedom (GDoF) of the asymmetric interference channel with delayed channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT), whe…

Software Vulnerability Detection via Deep Learning over Disaggregated Code Graph Representation

Yufan Zhuang, Sahil Suneja, Veronika Thost +3

Identifying vulnerable code is a precautionary measure to counter software security breaches. Tedious expert effort has been spent to build static analyzers, yet insecure patterns…

Exploring Software Naturalness through Neural Language Models

Luca Buratti, Saurabh Pujar, Mihaela Bornea +8

The Software Naturalness hypothesis argues that programming languages can be understood through the same techniques used in natural language processing. We explore this hypothesis…
