RoPE Distinguishes Neither Positions Nor Tokens in Long Contexts, Provably
Yufeng Du, Phillip Harris, Minyang Tian +5
We identify intrinsic limitations of Rotary Positional Embeddings (RoPE) in Transformer-based long-context language models. Our theoretical analysis abstracts away from the specifi…
Probing the Critical Point (CritPt) of AI Reasoning: a Frontier Physics Research Benchmark
Minhui Zhu, Minyang Tian, Xiaocheng Yang +61
While large language models (LLMs) with reasoning capabilities are progressing rapidly on high-school math competitions and coding, can they reason effectively through complex, ope…
Context Length Alone Hurts LLM Performance Despite Perfect Retrieval
Yufeng Du, Minyang Tian, Srikanth Ronanki +7
Large language models (LLMs) often fail to scale their performance on long-context tasks performance in line with the context lengths they support. This gap is commonly attributed…
EAIRA: Establishing a Methodology for Evaluating AI Models as Scientific Research Assistants
Franck Cappello, Sandeep Madireddy, Robert Underwood +23
Recent advancements have positioned AI, and particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), as transformative tools for scientific research, capable of addressing complex tasks that req…
OpenScholar: Synthesizing Scientific Literature with Retrieval-augmented LMs
Akari Asai, Jacqueline He, Rulin Shao +22
Scientific progress depends on researchers' ability to synthesize the growing body of literature. Can large language models (LMs) assist scientists in this task? We introduce OpenS…
