Research

• From Data Statistics to Feature Geometry: How Correlations Shape Superposition — Lucas Prieto, Edward Stevinson, Melih Barsbey. A central idea in mechanistic interpretability is that neural networks represent more features than they have dimensions, arranging them in superposition to form an over-complete basis.
• Understanding the Use of a Large Language Model-Powered Guide to Make Virtual Re — Jazmin Collins, Sharon Y Lin, Tianqi Liu. As social virtual reality (VR) grows more popular, addressing accessibility for blind and low vision (BLV) users is increasingly critical.
• Emotional Modulation in Swarm Decision Dynamics — David Freire-Obregón. Collective decision-making in biological and human groups often emerges from simple interaction rules that amplify minor differences into consensus.
• BEACON: Language-Conditioned Navigation Affordance Prediction under Occlusion — Xinyu Gao, Gang Chen, Javier Alonso-Mora. Language-conditioned local navigation requires a robot to infer a nearby traversable target location from its current observation and an open-vocabulary, relational instruction.
• Think Before You Lie: How Reasoning Improves Honesty — Ann Yuan, Asma Ghandeharioun, Carter Blum. While existing evaluations of large language models (LLMs) measure deception rates, the underlying conditions that give rise to deceptive behavior are poorly understood.
