Failed Reasoning Traces Tell You What Is Fixable (But Not by Reading Them)

Nizar Islah, Istabrak Abbes, Irina Rish +2

When post-trained language models fail on reasoning problems, the common test-time-scaling response is to spend more compute on additional attempts, and the failed traces play no f…

Revisiting Replay and Gradient Alignment for Continual Pre-Training of Large Language Models

Istabrak Abbes, Gopeshh Subbaraj, Matthew Riemer +6

Training large language models (LLMs) typically involves pre-training on massive corpora, only to restart the process entirely when new data becomes available. A more efficient and…

Learning to combine top-down context and feed-forward representations under ambiguity with apical and basal dendrites

Nizar Islah, Guillaume Etter, Mashbayar Tugsbayar +3

One of the hallmark features of neocortical anatomy is the presence of extensive top-down projections into primary sensory areas, with many impinging on the distal apical dendrites…
