Cross-Trait Transfer in Subliminal Learning
Xingyu Zhao, Yiqiao Zhong
Subliminal learning is a phenomenon where a student language model acquires a teacher model's behavioral traits by training on semantically unrelated outputs. It is a subtle statis…
Molecular Insights into Gas Nanofilms Confined Between Bulk Liquid Phases
Yafan Yang, Zufeng Zuo, Xingyu Zhao +2
Nanometer-thick fluid films play a critical role in confined multiphase processes, yet the thermodynamics and stability of free gas nanofilms remain poorly understood compared with…
Accounting for Nanofilm Contributions in Interfacial Free Energy Calculations Using Classical Density Functional Theory
Yafan Yang, Zufeng Zuo, Xingyu Zhao +2
Fluid nanofilms play a fundamental role in nanoscale interfacial thermodynamics, yet their treatment in classical density functional theory (cDFT) remains incomplete. We investigat…
Shattered Compositionality: Counterintuitive Learning Dynamics of Transformers for Arithmetic
Xingyu Zhao, Darsh Sharma, Rheeya Uppaal +1
Large language models (LLMs) often achieve strong benchmark accuracy yet remain brittle under small distribution shifts. While recent mechanistic studies reveal the discrepancy bet…
Tailored Teaching with Balanced Difficulty: Elevating Reasoning in Multimodal Chain-of-Thought via Prompt Curriculum
Xinglong Yang, Quan Feng, Zhongying Pan +7
The effectiveness of Multimodal Chain-of-Thought (MCoT) prompting is often limited by the use of randomly or manually selected examples. These examples fail to account for both mod…
The Impact of Live Polling Quizzes on Student Engagement and Performance in Computer Science Lectures
Xingyu Zhao
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the adoption of live polling and real-time feedback tools gained traction in higher education to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. I…
