Transformers Can Navigate Mazes With Multi-Step Prediction

Niklas Nolte, Ouail Kitouni, Adina Williams +2

Despite their remarkable success in language modeling, transformers trained to predict the next token in a sequence struggle with long-term planning. This limitation is particularl…

The Factorization Curse: Which Tokens You Predict Underlie the Reversal Curse and More

Ouail Kitouni, Niklas Nolte, Diane Bouchacourt +3

Today's best language models still struggle with hallucinations: factually incorrect generations, which impede their ability to reliably retrieve information seen during training.…

From Neurons to Neutrons: A Case Study in Interpretability

Ouail Kitouni, Niklas Nolte, Víctor Samuel Pérez-Díaz +2

Mechanistic Interpretability (MI) promises a path toward fully understanding how neural networks make their predictions. Prior work demonstrates that even when trained to perform s…

Applications of Lipschitz neural networks to the Run 3 LHCb trigger system

Blaise Delaney, Nicole Schulte, Gregory Ciezarek +3

The operating conditions defining the current data taking campaign at the Large Hadron Collider, known as Run 3, present unparalleled challenges for the real-time data acquisition…

DiSK: A Diffusion Model for Structured Knowledge

Ouail Kitouni, Niklas Nolte, James Hensman +1

Structured (dictionary-like) data presents challenges for left-to-right language models, as they can struggle with structured entities for a wide variety of reasons such as formatt…

NuCLR: Nuclear Co-Learned Representations

Ouail Kitouni, Niklas Nolte, Sokratis Trifinopoulos +2

We introduce Nuclear Co-Learned Representations (NuCLR), a deep learning model that predicts various nuclear observables, including binding and decay energies, and nuclear charge r…

Expressive Monotonic Neural Networks

Ouail Kitouni, Niklas Nolte, Michael Williams

The monotonic dependence of the outputs of a neural network on some of its inputs is a crucial inductive bias in many scenarios where domain knowledge dictates such behavior. This…

Development of the Topological Trigger for LHCb Run 3

Nicole Schulte, Blaise Raheem Delaney, Niklas Nolte +3

The data-taking conditions expected in Run 3 of the LHCb experiment at CERN are unprecedented and challenging for the software and computing systems. Despite that, the LHCb collabo…

Finding NEEMo: Geometric Fitting using Neural Estimation of the Energy Mover's Distance

Ouail Kitouni, Niklas Nolte, Mike Williams

A novel neural architecture was recently developed that enforces an exact upper bound on the Lipschitz constant of the model by constraining the norm of its weights in a minimal wa…

Towards Understanding Grokking: An Effective Theory of Representation Learning

Ziming Liu, Ouail Kitouni, Niklas Nolte +3

We aim to understand grokking, a phenomenon where models generalize long after overfitting their training set. We present both a microscopic analysis anchored by an effective theor…
