Compositional Performance Modeling of LLM Inference Clusters with Hierarchical KV Caching

Ruiyang Ma, Sheng Qi, DaiKang Kuang +2

Design-space exploration of LLM inference clusters requires predicting how hardware and serving policies interact with hierarchical key-value (KV) caching. Isolated operation profi…

From Codebase to Culprit (C2C): Reducing the Search Space for Bugs with Semantic Retrieval and Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning

Ankur Garg, Corey Yang-Smith, Rishav Rishav +2

We introduce C2C (From Codebase to Culprit), a framework for precise bug localization that progressively reduces the debugging search space across multiple levels of granularity: f…

Discrete Causal Representations from Heterogeneous Domains: A Bayesian Approach with Social Survey Applications

Ankur Garg, Michael Stettler, Aaron Schein +1

Causal representation learning aims to infer the high-level latent causal concepts that give rise to observed low-level measurements. This is particularly relevant for heterogeneou…

Discovering Latent Groups for Robust Classification

Ankur Garg, Ulrich Aïvodji, Samira Ebrahimi Kahou +1

Machine learning models exploit spurious correlations, achieving high average accuracy but failing disproportionately on underrepresented subgroups. Existing methods address this b…

Vector Quantized Latent Concepts: A Scalable Alternative to Clustering-Based Concept Discovery

Xuemin Yu, Ankur Garg, Samira Ebrahimi Kahou +1

Large language models (LLMs) encode rich semantic information in their hidden states, yet it remains difficult to understand what information these internal representations capture…

Cross-Layer Discrete Concept Discovery for Interpreting Language Models

Ankur Garg, Xuemin Yu, Hassan Sajjad +1

Interpreting language models remains challenging due to the existence of residual stream, which linearly mixes and duplicates features across adjacent layers, causing single-layer…
