The Commit-Abstain Circuit: Why Language Models Hallucinate Instead of Abstaining
Vy Nguyen, Ziqi Xu, Jeffrey Chan +5
Language models (LMs) often hallucinate by committing to confident answers rather than abstaining, even when they do not have enough information to answer reliably. A large body of…
Twin Worlds: Equivariance-Based Abstention for Evidence-Grounded Reasoning
Vy Nguyen, Ziqi Xu, Jeffrey Chan +5
Knowledge-intensive reasoning requires Large Language Models (LLMs) to ground answers in provided evidence. When evidence is insufficient, it is desirable that models abstain rathe…
Neurosymbolic Alignment for Physiologically-Safe Clinical Language Models
Abdulhady Abas Abdullah, Erik Cambria, Milena Zivkovic
Clinical LLMs can generate recommendations that are factually plausible yet physiologically unsafe. We investigate whether safety alignment can be improved by grounding preference…
TextNCA: Neural Cellular Automata for Language Modeling via Hierarchical Local Attention
Avni Mittal, Avinash Anand, Ashutosh Kumar +7
Can a strictly local, iterated, weight-shared computation primitive support language modelling, and which of those three properties actually drives the model's behaviour? We define…
FORGE: Fused On-Register Gradient Elimination for Memory-Efficient LLM Training
Dikshant Kukreja, Kritarth Prasad, Avinash Anand +6
Reverse-mode differentiation computes every weight gradient, writes it to memory, and only then lets the optimizer read it back. This two-phase schedule sets the memory ceiling of…
The Periodic Table of LLM Reasoning: A Structured Survey of Reasoning Paradigms, Methods, and Failure Modes
Avinash Anand, Mahisha Ramesh, Avni Mittal +8
Reasoning has become central to how Large Language Models (LLMs) are evaluated and interpreted, spanning Chain-of-Thought (CoT), mathematical problem-solving, multi-hop question an…
Psychologically-Grounded Graph Modeling for Interpretable Depression Detection
Rishitej Reddy Vyalla, Kritarth Prasad, Avinash Anand +4
Automatic depression detection from conversational interactions holds significant promise for scalable screening but remains hindered by severe data scarcity and a lack of clinical…
IRIS: Interleaved Reinforcement with Incremental Staged Curriculum for Cross-Lingual Mathematical Reasoning
Navya Gupta, Rishitej Reddy Vyalla, Avinash Anand +8
Curriculum learning helps language models tackle complex reasoning by gradually increasing task difficulty. However, it often fails to generate consistent step-by-step reasoning, e…
Better and Worse with Scale: How Contextual Entrainment Diverges with Model Size
Dikshant Kukreja, Kshitij Sah, Gautam Gupta +5
Larger language models become simultaneously better and worse at handling contextual information -- better at ignoring false claims, worse at ignoring irrelevant tokens. We formali…
