Attention as In-Context Empirical Bayes: A Two-Stage View via Particle Dynamics
Matthew Smart, Soumya Ganguly, Nilava Metya +2
We study minimal attention-only transformers under all-token corruption and show they admit a two-stage empirical Bayes interpretation. A single attention step computes a kernel-we…

Degrees of the Wasserstein Distance to Small Toric Models
Greg DePaul, Serkan Hoşten, Nilava Metya +1
The study of the closest point(s) on a statistical model from a given distribution in the probability simplex with respect to a fixed Wasserstein metric gives rise to a polyhedral…
