Where Prefill Expert Reduction Hurts MoE Models: A Few Prompt Tokens Carry Most of the Short-Answer F1 Loss

arXiv:2610.22454v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Running prompt tokens through fewer routed experts during prefill is a simple way to make mixture-of-experts (MoE) serving cheaper, yet it is unclear what this damages. We locate the damage with token-, layer- and attention-path interventions on short-answer question answering in four MoE families.

From Parallels to Divergence: Language Models' Learning of Action Nominal Constructions

arXiv:2610.22468v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Action nominal constructions (ANCs) express events in nominal form, with their argument marking following patterns found in clauses or ordinary noun phrases. In this paper, we investigate how different grammatical configurations affect language models' learning of ANCs and related constructions, and how these learning preferences compare with typological distributions in natural languages.

KFS$^4$LAM: Adaptive KeyFrame Selection with Structure-Aware Mapping for Endoscopic Gaussian Splatting SLAM

arXiv:2610.22505v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gaussian-splatting Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) augments conventional SLAM with a dense, renderable 3D scene representation, enabling high-quality reconstruction and novel-view synthesis. However, its localization, reconstruction, and rendering performance depends strongly on which observations are retained for mapping.

SpikeQ: Spike-Guided Post-Training Quantization for Spiking Neural Networks

arXiv:2610.23046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On neuromorphic chips, spiking neural networks (SNNs) consume far less energy than artificial neural networks (ANNs), but the limited memory of these chips requires low-bit synaptic weights and membrane potentials. Existing post-training quantization (PTQ) methods provide them without retraining and, like those for ANNs, minimize numerical errors such as the mean squared error (MSE).

From Events to Reasoning: Hierarchical Rule Composition over Explicit States

arXiv:2610.22403v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: What a reasoning system emits is a conclusion; what it owes is a justification. Producing one requires every operation to be admissible on the facts actually available, the dependencies of intermediate results to survive to the end of the path, and the path to be revised when a premise changes. We present the Event Reasoning System (ERS), in which the reasoning state is an explicit event graph.

Unit-level aggregation breaks coverage in causal foundation models

arXiv:2610.22770v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal foundation models (CFMs) show promising results for treatment-effect estimation, with unit-level estimates that are competitive on standard benchmarks. Many causal analyses, however, inform decisions through effects averaged over groups of units, such as the full sample, the treated units, or a subgroup, and for such decisions a CFM is useful only if its credible intervals are calibrated.

Is a Linear Probe Evidence of a Linear Representation?

arXiv:2610.22655v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The linear representation hypothesis holds that pretrained vision models encode generative factors as linearly decodable directions in feature space, and comes with a standard methodology: train a linear probe, declare a factor represented if accuracy is high. We show this test is too permissive.

When is a large language model a good calibration agent? Physics-labeled prompting for budgeted engineering simulator calibration

arXiv:2610.22379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Calibrating expensive engineering simulators requires tuning model parameters to match reference data, a process heavily constrained by computational costs. This study investigates whether Large Language Models (LLMs), conditioned on physical diagnostic descriptions of simulation errors, can propose informative parameter updates more efficiently than conventional derivative-free optimizers.
