Context-Gated Associative Retrieval: From Theory to Transformers

Moulik Choraria, Argyrios Gerogiannis, Vidhata Jayaraman +2

Hopfield networks and their generalizations have established deep connections among biological associative memories, statistical physics, and transformers. Yet most models treat re…

Know Thy Reasoner: Not All Language Models Explore Alike

Moulik Choraria, Argyrios Gerogiannis, Anirban Das +4

Compute scaling for LLM reasoning trades off exploring solution approaches (\emph{breadth}) against refining promising ones (\emph{depth}), yet why a given trade-off works, and why…

Watermarking Discrete Diffusion Language Models

Avi Bagchi, Akhil Bhimaraju, Moulik Choraria +2

Watermarking has emerged as a promising technique to track AI-generated content and differentiate it from authentic human creations. While prior work extensively studies watermarki…

Skip-It? Theoretical Conditions for Layer Skipping in Vision-Language Models

Max Hartman, Vidhata Jayaraman, Moulik Choraria +2

Vision-language models achieve incredible performance across a wide range of tasks, but their large size makes inference costly. Recent work has shown that multimodal processing co…

Transformers are Universal Predictors

Sourya Basu, Moulik Choraria, Lav R. Varshney

We find limits to the Transformer architecture for language modeling and show it has a universal prediction property in an information-theoretic sense. We further analyze performan…

Learning Optimal Features via Partial Invariance

Moulik Choraria, Ibtihal Ferwana, Ankur Mani +1

Learning models that are robust to distribution shifts is a key concern in the context of their real-life applicability. Invariant Risk Minimization (IRM) is a popular framework th…

The Spectral Bias of Polynomial Neural Networks

Moulik Choraria, Leello Tadesse Dadi, Grigorios Chrysos +2

Polynomial neural networks (PNNs) have been recently shown to be particularly effective at image generation and face recognition, where high-frequency information is critical. Prev…

Balancing Fairness and Robustness via Partial Invariance

Moulik Choraria, Ibtihal Ferwana, Ankur Mani +1

The Invariant Risk Minimization (IRM) framework aims to learn invariant features from a set of environments for solving the out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization problem. The un…
