Does a Language Server Save Tokens for Coding Agents? A Measurement Methodology and Preliminary Study

Pengcheng Xu

Coding agents spend most of their context budget on retrieval. Lexical retrieval (grep) is universal, instant, and zero-setup, but noisy: it cannot tell a definition from a call fr…

Different types of syntactic agreement recruit the same units within large language models

Daria Kryvosheieva, Andrea de Varda, Evelina Fedorenko +1

Large language models (LLMs) can reliably distinguish grammatical from ungrammatical sentences, but how grammatical knowledge is represented within the models remains an open quest…

Representing Speech Through Autoregressive Prediction of Cochlear Tokens

Greta Tuckute, Klemen Kotar, Evelina Fedorenko +1

We introduce AuriStream, a biologically inspired model for encoding speech via a two-stage framework inspired by the human auditory processing hierarchy. The first stage transforms…

Language models align with brain regions that represent concepts across modalities

Maria Ryskina, Greta Tuckute, Alexander Fung +2

Cognitive science and neuroscience have long faced the challenge of disentangling representations of language from representations of conceptual meaning. As the same problem arises…
