Controllability Analysis of State Space-based Language Model

Cornell Tech has secured a $7 million investment from NASA and Schmidt Sciences aimed at modernizing arXiv, a preprint repository for scientific papers. This funding will facilitate the migration of arXiv to cloud infrastructure, upgrade its outdated codebase, and develop new tools to enhance the discovery of relevant preprints for researchers.

Recent advancements in text-to-speech (TTS) technology have led to the development of a new model called Word-level TTS Alignment by ASR-driven Attentive Reward (W3AR), which utilizes fine-grained reward signals from automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems to enhance TTS synthesis. This model addresses the limitations of traditional evaluation methods that often overlook specific problematic words in utterances.

A new framework called Task-aware Virtual View Exploration (TVVE) has been introduced to enhance robotic manipulation by integrating virtual view exploration with task-specific representation learning. This approach addresses limitations in existing vision-language-action models that rely on static viewpoints, improving 3D perception and reducing task interference.

A recent position paper emphasizes the need for literary scholars to engage with research on large language model (LLM) interpretability, suggesting that the red team could serve as a platform for this ideological struggle. The paper argues that current interpretability standards are insufficient for evaluating LLMs.

A new framework named Reading Comprehension Exercise Generation (RCEG) has been proposed to leverage large language models (LLMs) for automatically generating personalized English reading comprehension exercises. This framework utilizes fine-tuned LLMs to create content candidates, which are then evaluated by a discriminator to select the highest quality output, significantly enhancing the educational content generation process.

Recent research has introduced the concept of representational stability in large language models (LLMs), focusing on how these models encode distinctions between true, false, and neither-true-nor-false content. The study assesses this stability by training a linear probe on LLM activations to differentiate true from not-true statements and measuring shifts in decision boundaries under label changes.

PRISM-Bench has been introduced as a new benchmark for evaluating multimodal large language models (MLLMs) through puzzle-based visual tasks that assess both problem-solving capabilities and reasoning processes. This benchmark specifically requires models to identify errors in a step-by-step chain of thought, enhancing the evaluation of logical consistency and visual reasoning.

A novel approach named PocketLLM has been introduced to address the challenges of compressing large language models (LLMs) for efficient storage and transmission on edge devices. This method utilizes meta-networks to project LLM weights into discrete latent vectors, achieving significant compression ratios, such as a 10x reduction for Llama 2-7B, while maintaining accuracy.
