LEGO: Synergizing Expert GraphRAG and Expert Chain-of-Thought for Legal Reasoning

Qingjing Chen, Junkai Zhang, Shaochun Wang +7

Large language models are increasingly applied to high-risk domains such as law, yet complex legal reasoning remains limited by two structural challenges. First, existing RAG and G…

Quantitative Diffusive Limits for Singular Nonlocal Transport

Andrea Agazzi, Giuseppe Bruno, Federico Pasqualotto +1

We study the nonlocal continuity equation \[ \partial_tμ_b =\operatorname{div}\!\left( μ_b\nabla\log\bigl((I-b^2Δ)^{-1}μ_b\bigr) \right) \] on a closed connected Riemannian manifol…

Measure-to-measure Regression with Transformers

Matthew Vandergrift, Martha White, Yury Polyanskiy +2

Many learning problems require predicting how populations evolve under an unknown transformation. A natural representation for such populations is a probability measure, with point…

Propagation of Chaos in Contextual Flow Maps

Shi Chen, Zhengjiang Lin, Kaizhao Liu +1

We develop a quantitative statistical theory of transformers in the large-context regime by adopting the abstraction of contextual flow maps (CFMs): dynamical systems that evolve a…

Scaling Limits of Long-Context Transformers

Giuseppe Bruno, Shi Chen, Zhengjiang Lin +2

We study the long-context limit of softmax self-attention with a fixed query and a random context of i.i.d. keys on the sphere, viewing the inverse temperature as the sca…

Homogenized Transformers

Hugo Koubbi, Borjan Geshkovski, Philippe Rigollet

We study a random model of deep multi-head self-attention in which the weights are resampled independently across layers and heads, as at initialization of training. Viewing depth…

YuriiFormer: A Suite of Nesterov-Accelerated Transformers

Aleksandr Zimin, Yury Polyanskiy, Philippe Rigollet

We propose a variational framework that interprets transformer layers as iterations of an optimization algorithm acting on token embeddings. In this view, self-attention implements…

The Mean-Field Dynamics of Transformers

Philippe Rigollet

We develop a mathematical framework that interprets Transformer attention as an interacting particle system and studies its continuum (mean-field) limits. By idealizing attention o…
