Sequence-level power sampling has recently emerged as a training-free approach to reasoning by sampling from a sharpened output distribution of a base large language model (LLM). Nevertheless, existing methods typically sharpen the base model distribution uniformly across queries, overlooking variations in query diffic …
While Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models effectively scale model capacity through sparse activation, their deployment is often bottlenecked by prohibitive memory requirements. Extracting a compact subset of experts presents a promising solution. However, existing expert selection heuristics predominantly rely on Top-k ran …
Traffic Signal Control (TSC) is a safety-critical cyber-physical system that relies on real-time sensing. Corrupted observations caused by adversarial perturbations or sensor failures can propagate from the sensing layer into the controller and degrade traffic efficiency. Existing robust Reinforcement Learning (RL)-bas …
Privacy-sensitive organizations may run large language models (LLMs) in restricted or air-gapped environments while exporting selected diagnostic artifacts. We show that a compromised runtime component can hide sensitive information in intermediate activations that are allowed to leave the restricted environment. An of …
