A new framework pre-trains the Tsetlin Machine using semantic clusters from language models, avoiding embeddings. The method groups text samples into coherent clusters via K-means or Top2Vec, then uses cluster-sample pairs to train a non-negated TM with Type I feedback. Results show superior performance across five datasets, matching BERT-level accuracy while maintaining full interpretability.
Semantic Clusters Pre-Train Tsetlin Machine for Interpretability
CircuitLasso: Scalable Circuit Learning for LLM Interpretability
CircuitLasso proposes a scalable method for learning sparse circuits in large language models using sparse linear regression. It achieves structural accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art intervention-based methods at significantly lower computational cost, while enabling efficient discovery of semantic feature propagation and improving performance on domain-generalization tasks with reduced cost.
H-RePlan: Hierarchical Recovery for Cross-Device Agent Systems
H-RePlan introduces a hierarchical replanning framework that separates device-local strategy recovery from global orchestrator replanning. It outperforms existing baselines by achieving higher completion and instruction adherence, with reduced token cost, through scope-aware recovery in multi-device agent systems.
Hidden Evolution of Disguised Visual Context in VLMs
Visual tokens enter large language models as raw, unstructured signals. Their internal transformation and integration depend on architecture—either as in-context prompts or injected into intermediate layers—leading to distinct evolution paths in visual representation and frequency characteristics. We find that attention alone is insufficient; performance is driven by the quality of visual representations at each layer across different integration paradigms.
OneCanvas: 3D Scene Understanding via Panoramic Reprojection
OneCanvas enables 3D scene understanding in Vision-Language Models by aggregating patch features onto a single panoramic canvas using 3D world coordinates. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on SQA3D and VSI-Bench, and generalizes to out-of-distribution data on SPBench, using significantly less training compute than existing methods.
Act2Answer Evaluates Knowledge Retention in Vision-Language-Action Models
Act2Answer introduces a lightweight protocol to assess commonsense and world knowledge retention in VLA models by requiring agents to answer questions through object placement actions. A large-scale study of 7 VLA models and 9 VLM baselines reveals that VLAs perform well on simple concepts but show larger gaps on rich semantic categories compared to their source VLMs, with VQA co-training improving knowledge retention and peak answer-relevant signals observed in middle VLA layers.
