Beyond Co-Movement: Locality by Exposures Enables a Joint Factor-Graph Framework for Portfolio Diversification

Sara Chehab, Giorgos Iacovides, Parisa Yazdanparast +1

Current portfolio construction methods are either agnostic to the effects of idiosyncratic shocks (standard factor models) or to the latent data structure driving systematic return…

Tensorizing Engram: Sharing Latents Across N-Gram Embeddings is Beneficial in LLMs

Wuyang Zhou, Yuxuan Gu, Giorgos Iacovides +3

Modern language models represent text using discrete token-level embeddings, which forces recurring multi-token patterns to be learned implicitly across Transformer layers. Both Ov…

Targeted Angular Reversal of Weights (TARS) for Knowledge Removal in Large Language Models

Harry J. Davies, Giorgos Iacovides, Danilo P. Mandic

The sheer scale of data required to train modern large language models (LLMs) poses significant risks, as models are likely to gain knowledge of sensitive topics such as bio-securi…
