Representation Learning

From Tokens to Thoughts: How LLMs and Humans Trade Compression for Meaning

Comparing how language models and humans balance compact representations with semantic detail.

NdLinear: Preserving Multi-Dimensional Structure for Parameter-Efficient Neural Networks

Reducing parameter costs with linear transformations that preserve the structure of multidimensional inputs.

Seq-VCR: Preventing Collapse in Intermediate Transformer Representations for Enhanced Reasoning

Regularizing intermediate representations to reduce collapse and support sequential reasoning.

An Information Theory Perspective on Variance-Invariance-Covariance Regularization

We provide an information-theoretic analysis of VICReg, deriving theoretical foundations for deterministic networks and introducing new SSL methods based on these insights.
