Demystifying Variance in Circuit Discovery of LLMs
Frank Zhengqing Wu, Francesco Tonin, Volkan Cevher
Circuit discovery is a key technique in mechanistic interpretability to pinpoint the model components that are crucial for performing a given task. Although the current state-of-th…
LACUNA: Safe Agents as Recursive Program Holes
Yaoyu Zhao, Yichen Xu, Oliver BraÄevac +3
LLM agents increasingly act by writing code, yet a split persists between the runtime that drives the agent and the code the model writes. The runtime owns the loop, context, and c…
Local Reinforcement Learning with Action-Conditioned Root Mean Squared Q-Functions
Frank Wu, Mengye Ren
The Forward-Forward (FF) Algorithm is a recently proposed learning procedure for neural networks that employs two forward passes instead of the traditional forward and backward pas…
Layer-wise Quantization for Quantized Optimistic Dual Averaging
Anh Duc Nguyen, Ilia Markov, Frank Zhengqing Wu +4
Modern deep neural networks exhibit heterogeneity across numerous layers of various types such as residuals, multi-head attention, etc., due to varying structures (dimensions, acti…
Quantum-PEFT: Ultra parameter-efficient fine-tuning
Toshiaki Koike-Akino, Francesco Tonin, Yongtao Wu +3
This paper introduces Quantum-PEFT that leverages quantum computations for parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT). Unlike other additive PEFT methods, such as low-rank adaptation (…
