Counterexamples to the total-current Hohenberg-Kohn conjecture
Andre Laestadius, Mihály A. Csirik
The total-current Hohenberg-Kohn conjecture asserts that the ground-state particle density and total current determine the scalar potential up to an additive constant and the vecto…
Efficient and Trainable Language Model Test-Time Scaling via Local Branch Routing
Yutong Yin, Mingyu Jin, Jin Pan +12
Test-time scaling improves language-model reasoning, but existing approaches often face a difficult trade-off: long chain-of-thought sampling remains single-threaded, while sentenc…
Agent MechSuits: Mechanistic Subspace Safety Steering for Multi-Turn CLI Agents
Weidi Luo, Qiming Zhang, Yihao Quan +5
Command-Line Interface (CLI) agents based on large language models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable autonomous capabilities, but they also introduce significant safety and misuse risk…
All Circuits Lead to Rome: Rethinking Functional Anisotropy in Circuit and Sheaf Discovery for LLMs
Xi Chen, Mingyu Jin, Jingcheng Niu +7
In this paper, we present empirical and theoretical evidence against a central but largely implicit assumption in circuit and sheaf discovery (CSD), which we term the Functional An…
Farther the Shift, Sparser the Representation: Analyzing OOD Mechanisms in LLMs
Mingyu Jin, Yutong Yin, Jingcheng Niu +7
In this work, we investigate how Large Language Models (LLMs) adapt their internal representations when encountering inputs of increasing difficulty, quantified as the degree of ou…
