TextNCA: Neural Cellular Automata for Language Modeling via Hierarchical Local Attention

Avni Mittal, Avinash Anand, Ashutosh Kumar +7

Can a strictly local, iterated, weight-shared computation primitive support language modelling, and which of those three properties actually drives the model's behaviour? We define…

How Do VLMs Fail? Vision-Operation Misalignment in Compositional VQA

Navya Gupta, Bingjie Xu, Avinash Anand +2

Compositional visual question answering requires Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to execute multiple reasoning operations like object selection, spatial relation resolution, and attr…

FORGE: Fused On-Register Gradient Elimination for Memory-Efficient LLM Training

Dikshant Kukreja, Kritarth Prasad, Avinash Anand +6

Reverse-mode differentiation computes every weight gradient, writes it to memory, and only then lets the optimizer read it back. This two-phase schedule sets the memory ceiling of…

The Periodic Table of LLM Reasoning: A Structured Survey of Reasoning Paradigms, Methods, and Failure Modes

Avinash Anand, Mahisha Ramesh, Avni Mittal +8

Reasoning has become central to how Large Language Models (LLMs) are evaluated and interpreted, spanning Chain-of-Thought (CoT), mathematical problem-solving, multi-hop question an…

Psychologically-Grounded Graph Modeling for Interpretable Depression Detection

Rishitej Reddy Vyalla, Kritarth Prasad, Avinash Anand +4

Automatic depression detection from conversational interactions holds significant promise for scalable screening but remains hindered by severe data scarcity and a lack of clinical…
