SPSA Hyperparameter Tuning for Variational Quantum Natural Language Inference
Nayan D'Souza, Christopher J. Agostino
Training variational quantum models requires choosing between parameter-shift gradients, which are exact but cost forward evaluations, and simultaneous perturbation stochast…
Herding CATs: ALARA for Agent Harness Engineering in Portable Composable Multi-Agent Teams
Christopher J. Agostino, Nayan D'Souza
Industry practitioners and academic researchers regularly use multi-agent systems to accelerate their work, but the applications through which users operate these systems do not pr…
Phase-Associative Memory: Sequence Modeling in Complex Hilbert Space
Gowrav Vishwakarma, Christopher J. Agostino
Experiments probing natural language processing by both humans and LLMs suggest that the meaning of a semantic expression is indeterminate prior to the act of interpretation rather…
The production of meaning in the processing of natural language
Christopher J. Agostino, Quan Le Thien, Nayan D'Souza +1
Understanding the fundamental mechanisms governing the production of meaning in the processing of natural language is critical for designing safe, thoughtful, engaging, and empower…
TinyTim: A Family of Language Models for Divergent Generation
Christopher J. Agostino
In the search for artificial general intelligence, model development and training has focused primarily on vast datasets of known problems and their accepted solutions. This proces…
Analysis of a Spatialized Brain-Body-Environment System
Denizhan Pak, Quan Le Thien, Christopher J. Agostino
The brain-body-environment framework studies adaptive behavior through embodied and situated agents, emphasizing interactions between brains, biomechanics, and environmental dynami…
