In-context learning (ICL) enables language models to perform new tasks from demonstrations without weight updates. However, every ICL inference requires processing the full set of examples, resulting in inefficient deployments, and how ICL works mechanistically is not fully understood. Prior work compresses ICL into fi …
Long-term egocentric video enables personalized AI assistants to reason about daily life. However, as video histories grow to hundreds of hours spanning months or years, reprocessing raw clips for every query becomes computationally prohibitive. Memory systems offer a scalable alternative by compacting videos into text …
Masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) can generate text efficiently by predicting multiple masked tokens in parallel, but predictions from the same forward pass are not necessarily reliable when committed together. We study when parallel commitment is reliable. Our diagnostics show that confidence alone does not det …
Large language models often improve problem-solving performance by generating multi-step reasoning paths, yet how to analyze the hidden states along these paths remains unclear. Existing approaches typically assign each intermediate state the final-answer correctness label and train probes across heterogeneous question …
