Do All Autoregressive Transformers Remember Facts the Same Way? A Cross-Architecture Analysis of Recall Mechanisms
Understanding how Transformer-based language models store and retrieve factual associations is critical for improving interpretability and enabling targeted model editing. Prior work, primarily on GPT-style models, has identified MLP modules in early layers as key contributors to factual recall. However, it remains unclear whether these findings generalize across different autoregressive architectures. To address this, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of factual recall across several model…

Dream to Recall: Imagination-Guided Experience Retrieval for Memory-Persistent Vision-and-Language Navigation
Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) requires agents to follow natural language instructions through environments, with memory-persistent variants demanding progressive improvement through accumulated experience. Existing approaches for memory-persistent VLN face critical limitations: they lack effective memory access mechanisms, instead relying on entire memory incorporation or fixed-horizon lookup, and predominantly store only environmental observations while neglecting navigation behavioral …

Associative Memory Model with Neural Networks: Memorizing multiple images with one neuron
This paper presents a neural network model (associative memory model) for memory and recall of images. In this model, only a single neuron can memorize multi-images and when that neuron is activated, it is possible to recall all the memorized images at the same time. The system is composed of a single cluster of numerous neurons, referred to as the "Cue Ball," and multiple neural network layers, collectively called the "Recall Net." One of the features of this model is that several different im…

Filtered Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search: A Unified Benchmark and Systematic Experimental Study [Experiment, Analysis & Benchmark]
For a given dataset $\mathcal{D}$ and structured label $f$, the goal of Filtered Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search (FANNS) algorithms is to find top-$k$ points closest to a query that satisfy label constraints, while ensuring both recall and QPS (Queries Per Second). In recent years, many FANNS algorithms have been proposed. However, the lack of a systematic investigation makes it difficult to understand their relative strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, we found that: (1) FANNS algorithm…

Conjectural Positivity for Pontryagin Product in Equivariant K-theory of Loop Groups
Let $G$ be a connected simply-connected simple algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $T$ be a maximal torus, $B\supset T$ a Borel subgroup and $K$ a maximal compact subgroup. Then, the product in the (algebraic) based loop group $Ω(K)$ gives rise to a comultiplication in the topological $T$-equivariant $K$-ring $K_T^{top}(Ω(K))$. Recall that $Ω(K)$ is identified with the affine Grassmannian $\mathcal{X}$ (of $G$) and hence we get a comultiplication in $ K_T^{top}(\mathcal{X})$. Dualizing…

We propose an adjusted 2SLS estimator for social network models when reported binary network links are misclassified (some zeros reported as ones and vice versa) due, e.g., to survey respondents' recall errors, or lapses in data input.

We resolve these issues by constructing a novel estimator of misclassification rates and us…

Dimensionality Reduction (DR) is widely used for visualizing high-dimensional data, often with the goal of revealing expected cluster structure. However, such a structure may not always appear in the projections.

We make comparisons by conducting listening tests to determine clinicians accuracy at recognizing signs of PD from audio alone, and …

Sculptor: Empowering LLMs with Cognitive Agency via Active Context Management
Large Language Models (LLMs) suffer from significant performance degradation when processing long contexts due to proactive interference, where irrelevant information in earlier parts of the context disrupts reasoning and memory recall. While most research focuses on external memory systems to augment LLMs' capabilities, we propose a complementary approach: empowering LLMs with Active Context Management (ACM) tools to actively sculpt their internal working memory. We introduce Sculptor, a frame…

FullRecall: A Semantic Search-Based Ranking Approach for Maximizing Recall in Patent Retrieval
Patent examiners and inventors face significant pressure to verify the originality and non-obviousness of inventions, and the intricate nature of patent data intensifies the challenges of patent retrieval. Therefore, there is a pressing need to devise cutting-edge retrieval strategies that can reliably achieve the desired recall. This study introduces FullRecall, a novel patent retrieval approach that effectively manages the complexity of patent data while maintaining the reliability of relevan…

The Command Line GUIde: Graphical Interfaces from Man Pages via AI
Although birthed in the era of teletypes, the command line shell survived the graphical interface revolution of the 1980's and lives on in modern desktop operating systems. The command line provides access to powerful functionality not otherwise exposed on the computer, but requires users to recall textual syntax and carefully scour documentation. In contrast, graphical interfaces let users organically discover and invoke possible actions through widgets and menus. To better expose the power of…

MMSearch-Plus: A Simple Yet Challenging Benchmark for Multimodal Browsing Agents
Large multimodal language models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed as web agents, yet many multimodal browsing benchmarks can be solved by shallow, fixed workflows that lean on high-recall image search and nearby text-masking the genuinely multimodal challenges of fine-grained visual reasoning, provenance verification, and long-horizon tool use. We introduce MMSearch-Plus, a benchmark of 311 tasks that highly demand multimodal understanding while preserving the difficulty profile of strong text…

Does the Skeleton-Recall Loss Really Work?

Does the Skeleton-Recall Loss Really Work?
Image segmentation is an important and widely performed task in computer vision. Accomplishing effective image segmentation in diverse settings often requires custom model architectures and loss functions. A set of models that specialize in segmenting thin tubular structures are topology preservation-based loss functions. These models often utilize a pixel skeletonization process claimed to generate more precise segmentation masks of thin tubes and better capture the structures that other model…

In 1994 the Pentium FDIV bug that caused 1 in 9,000,000,000 calculations to be slightly inaccurate lead to a massive recall after Intel downplayed it.
In 2025 it’s normal for tech companies to sell software that is just lying outright and half of the time fails at the simplest calculations.

Joint Channel and Semantic-aware Grouping for Effective Collaborative Edge Inference
We focus on collaborative edge inference over wireless, which enables multiple devices to cooperate to improve inference performance in the presence of corrupted data. Exploiting a key-query mechanism for selective information exchange (or, group formation for collaboration), we recall the effect of wireless channel impairments in feature communication. We argue and show that a disjoint approach, which only considers either the semantic relevance or channel state between devices, performs poorl…

An introduction to conifold transitions
These lecture notes introduce conifold transitions between complex threefolds with trivial canonical bundle from the differential geometric point of view, and with a particular view towards aspects of mathematical physics and string theory. The lecture notes are aimed at beginning graduate students and non-experts, emphasizing explicit calculations and examples. After a brief introduction in Section 1, we recall some basic facts about Calabi-Yau manifolds in Section 2. Section 3 studies the con…

1. Order two bags of cat litter.
2. The seller doesn't send it on time. No matter, you're not in a hurry.
3. Recall that they still didn't send it. Decide to resign.
4. Turns out they send it just before you resign.
5. The parcels come. Open the box.
6. Discover that the bag is damaged. Take a photo just in case.
7. Carefully take it out and check how damaged it is. Well, it's only ripped at the top, no point in returning it over that.
8. Notice they've sent the wrong litter (you've ordered non-scented) 🤦.
9. Call them asking whether there's a point in opening the other box. They say it's going to be the wrong litter too, just make a return request and attach photos.
10. You do that, requesting money return. They request you to make damage protocol from delivery company.
11. You do that. Maybe you'd agree to a 20 PLN discount for next shopping instead of returning two bags of the wrong cat litter?
12. They finally accept the return. And they prepare the return… for one bag 🤦.
So I was supposed to work less today. Instead, I've wasted a lot of time on dealing with damaged parcel and the vendor. And a lot of tape, so it wouldn't fall apart on the return journey.

Improving Narrative Classification and Explanation via Fine Tuned Language Models
Understanding covert narratives and implicit messaging is essential for analyzing bias and sentiment. Traditional NLP methods struggle with detecting subtle phrasing and hidden agendas. This study tackles two key challenges: (1) multi-label classification of narratives and sub-narratives in news articles, and (2) generating concise, evidence-based explanations for dominant narratives. We fine-tune a BERT model with a recall-oriented approach for comprehensive narrative detection, refining predi…

OneSearch: A Preliminary Exploration of the Unified End-to-End Generative Framework for E-commerce Search
Traditional e-commerce search systems employ multi-stage cascading architectures (MCA) that progressively filter items through recall, pre-ranking, and ranking stages. While effective at balancing computational efficiency with business conversion, these systems suffer from fragmented computation and optimization objective collisions across stages, which ultimately limit their performance ceiling. To address these, we propose \textbf{OneSearch}, the first industrial-deployed end-to-end generativ…

How Do Language Models Compose Functions?
While large language models (LLMs) appear to be increasingly capable of solving compositional tasks, it is an open question whether they do so using compositional mechanisms. In this work, we investigate how feedforward LLMs solve two-hop factual recall tasks, which can be expressed compositionally as $g(f(x))$. We first confirm that modern LLMs continue to suffer from the "compositionality gap": i.e. their ability to compute both $z = f(x)$ and $y = g(z)$ does not entail their ability to compu…

A morning thought: claiming that someone is "bothered" by the intensive smell of perfume is an unfair simplification.
It's not that I "don't like" intensive smells. It's an actual physiological reaction. I recall that a long time ago, I accidentally sat behind a classmate who used a lot of perfume. Took me a while to realize why I was getting dizzy wherever I leaned down to note something (at first I thought that leaning was the problem, not entering the cloud of perfume). Using perfumes is a choice, not getting dizzy over smells.
Same goes for noise. It's not that I "don't like" noise. It's that noise kills my nervous system. It's not that I have a choice.
