When Is a Task Vector Enough? An Empirical Theory of Implicit Multimodal ICL

Implicit multimodal in-context learning compresses demonstrations into internal interventions, ranging from static task vectors to query-conditioned transformations and attention routing. Despite their common goal, these methods differ substantially in how the intervention depends on the query and where it modifies the model, leaving...

A Dense Weisfeiler-Leman Algorithm for Deciding Bounded-Cliquewidth Homomorphism Indistinguishability

Two graphs $G$ and $H$ are homomorphism indistinguishable over a graph class $\mathcal{F}$ if they admit the same number of homomorphisms from every graph in $\mathcal{F}$. A wide range of relaxations of graph isomorphism arise this way: isomorphism itself over the class of all graphs [Lovász, Acta Math. Hung. 1967], equivalence under...

When Local Variance Optimality Is Not Enough: RoPE-Aligned Q/K Rotations for Dynamic 4-Bit Quantisation

Rotation-based post-training quantisation commonly applies an orthogonal transform across an entire attention head to reduce outlier-induced error. RoPE instead partitions each head into two-dimensional frequency pairs, raising the question of whether a transform respecting this decomposition can improve on full-head mixing. Prior...

AutoDesign: Meta-Harness Optimization for Long-Horizon Agentic Design

Transforming multimodal sources into condensed and structured media outputs can be fundamentally conceptualized as a long-horizon agentic process centered on a model-harness system. While an ideal harness system should align with human design priors and accumulate reusable experience through empirical exploration to drive recursive...

Exponential Convex Calibration Dimension for the Multi-Label Jaccard Measure

The per-instance Jaccard score, or intersection over union (IoU), is standard in multi-label classification and binary segmentation. With $s$ labels, its loss matrix has $2^s$ outcomes and reports. Under the convention $\mathrm{Jac}(\varnothing,\varnothing)=1$, we prove that the Jaccard score, shifted-loss, and ordinary loss matrices...

QuoteBench: How Matched Scores Can Hide Command-Path Failures

LLM coding agents issue Bash commands through interfaces that may serialize, wrap, and reparse model output. Matched execution scores alone cannot distinguish command-generation errors from failures introduced after generation. QuoteBench measures this boundary with exact final-state validation on 56 one-shot tasks from 14...
