Contract monitoring: governing AI via separation of powers
Enric Boix-Adsera
We propose an AI safety framework that binds worker agents to contracts specifying their permitted actions. We show how these contracts can be enforced and specified by assigning d…
Secret mixtures of experts inside your LLM
Enric Boix-Adsera
Despite being one of the earliest neural network layers, the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) is arguably one of the least understood parts of the transformer architecture due to its de…
The power of fine-grained experts: Granularity boosts expressivity in Mixture of Experts
Enric Boix-Adsera, Philippe Rigollet
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers are increasingly central to frontier model architectures. By selectively activating parameters, they reduce computational cost while scaling total p…
Chow-Liu++: Optimal Prediction-Centric Learning of Tree Ising Models
Enric Boix-Adsera, Guy Bresler, Frederic Koehler
We consider the problem of learning a tree-structured Ising model from data, such that subsequent predictions computed using the model are accurate. Concretely, we aim to learn a m…
The Multiplayer Colonel Blotto Game
Enric Boix-Adserà, Benjamin L. Edelman, Siddhartha Jayanti
We initiate the study of the natural multiplayer generalization of the classic continuous Colonel Blotto game. The two-player Blotto game, introduced by Borel as a model of resourc…
The Average-Case Complexity of Counting Cliques in Erdos-Renyi Hypergraphs
Enric Boix-Adserà, Matthew Brennan, Guy Bresler
We consider the problem of counting -cliques in -uniform Erdos-Renyi hypergraphs with edge density , and show that its fine-grained average-case complexity can…
