Beyond Test-Time Memory: State-Space Optimal Control for LLM Reasoning
Peihao Wang, Shan Yang, Xijun Wang +8
Associative memory has long underpinned the design of sequential models. Beyond recall, humans reason by projecting future states and selecting goal-directed actions, a capability…
Certified Robustness from Approximate Gaussian Mixture Structures in Pretrained Latent Spaces
Konstantinos Emmanouilidis, Tianjiao Ding, Nghia Nguyen +2
Deep learning models are vulnerable to adversarial perturbations, raising important concerns for safety-critical deployment. Empirical defenses can achieve strong robustness in pra…
Shuffling the Data, Stretching the Step-size: Sharper Bias in constant step-size SGD
Konstantinos Emmanouilidis, Emmanouil-Vasileios Vlatakis-Gkaragkounis, Rene Vidal
From adversarial robustness to multi-agent learning, many machine learning tasks can be cast as finite-sum min-max optimization or, more generally, as variational inequality proble…
Disentangling Safe and Unsafe Corruptions via Anisotropy and Locality
Ramchandran Muthukumar, Ambar Pal, Jeremias Sulam +1
State-of-the-art machine learning systems are vulnerable to small perturbations to their input, where ``small'' is defined according to a threat model that assigns a positive threa…
