Ricci-Filtration enhances retrieval-augmented generation rerankers for query-answer tasks by using discrete Ricci flow on graphs.

problem Improving retrieval-augmented generation rerankers for query-answer tasks.
method Discrete Ricci flow on graphs to evaluate structural importance of chunks.
result Ricci-Filtration outperforms baseline methods in accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores.

A new method for making interpretable predictions by sequentially asking questions, faster and more efficient.

problem Developing interpretable machine learning models for complex tasks.
method Variational Information Pursuit (V-IP) that bypasses the need for learning generative models.
result V-IP is 10-100x faster and finds shorter query chains compared to IP and reinforcement learning.

This paper models the crowdsourced labeling/classification problem as a sparsely encoded source coding problem, where each query answer, regarded as a code bit, is the XOR of a small number of labels, as source information bits. In this paper we leverage the connections between this problem and well-studied codes with …

The emergence of structured databases for Question Answering (QA) systems has led to developing methods, in which the problem of learning the correct answer efficiently is based on a linking task between the constituents of the question and the corresponding entries in the database. As a result, parsing the questions i…

Transformers can be hijacked by context, but deeper models are more robust.

problem Robustness of Transformers against context hijacking for linear classification.
method Developed a theoretical analysis on the robustness of linear transformers, considering model depth, training context lengths, and number of hijacking context tokens.
result Deeper transformers are more robust to context hijacking.

Muon outperforms GD in associative memory learning by balancing frequency components.

problem Training dynamics and scaling behavior of Muon in associative memory learning.
method Study of Muon in a linear associative memory model with softmax retrieval and hierarchical frequency spectrum over query-answer pairs.
result Muon achieves exponential speedup over GD in noiseless case and superior scaling efficiency in noisy case.

This paper proves a central limit theorem for differential privacy in high dimensions.

problem Understanding optimal noise distributions for privacy-accuracy trade-offs in high-dimensional settings.
method Developed a central limit theorem approach to analyze differential privacy mechanisms.
result Gaussian mechanisms achieve the optimal privacy-accuracy trade-off in high dimensions.

We give a new proof of the "transfer theorem" underlying adaptive data analysis: that any mechanism for answering adaptively chosen statistical queries that is differentially private and sample-accurate is also accurate out-of-sample. Our new proof is elementary and gives structural insights that we expect will be usef…

This paper investigates how transformers can learn to generalize to unseen examples in context.

problem Understanding how transformers can generalize to unseen examples in a prompt.
method Gradient descent analysis of one-layer multi-head transformers for in-context learning.
result The training loss for a one-layer multi-head transformer converges linearly to a global minimum, effectively learning ridge regression over basis functions.

C-IP improves LLMs' query selection for interactive tasks by estimating uncertainty robustly.

problem Minimizing the number of queries for interactive LLMs.
method Conformal Information Pursuit (C-IP) using conformal prediction sets.
result C-IP achieves better predictive performance and shorter query-answer chains.
