TILens turns technical updates into a focused daily brief: official releases,
trusted reporting, and practitioner analysis, deduplicated and organized by topic.
arXiv:2610.08200v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We ask whether specific attention heads, and more finely specific neurons inside those heads, are responsible for recognizing that a language model's context contains…
arXiv:2610.09863v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard information retrieval metrics, such as mean Average Precision (mAP), assess performance one query at a time, based on how the similarities between a query and…
arXiv:2610.08808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers are foundational to software verification, program analysis, and compiler testing, particularly over the theory of…
arXiv:2610.10124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative recommenders return a limited candidate set and may omit observed targets before reranking. A training strategy appends these missed targets to reranker…
arXiv:2609.13205v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sparse long-context inference requires efficient token retrieval in both prefill and decode. Existing methods often use different retrieval strategies for the two…
arXiv:2610.10091v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Knowledge-intensive tasks require answering many questions by reasoning about a shared corpus of artifacts (e.g., court cases, or scientific literature). As humans…
arXiv:2604.12138v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems are built on an unexamined assumption - that queries have correct answers and retrieval should converge toward them.…
arXiv:2610.09920v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prevailing multi-vector visual document retrievers store each page as about a thousand patch vectors, often in vector databases run by a third party. Since no one can read…
arXiv:2607.04576v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM agents now often answer questions from knowledge bases they help maintain. A common intuition says progressive disclosure should make this cheaper. Instead…
arXiv:2610.09262v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A reader's first highlights on a page are the cheapest personal signal a reading product has. The natural plan is to suggest what similar earlier readers marked, and to…
arXiv:2610.09227v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixed-precision post-training quantization needs a per-module sensitivity signal; for a text embedder the obvious one -- the retrieval quality a module costs when…
arXiv:2610.09820v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLMs are evolving rapidly, with newer models offering stronger capabilities. This suggests that in LLM-based relevance judging, more capable models will achieve higher…
arXiv:2605.29280v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation (KD) transfers a single scalar prediction from a large foundation model (FM) to compact vertical models (VMs), suffering from diminishing…
arXiv:2610.08894v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This dissertation presents a scalable architecture for transforming unstructured, domain-specific text into structured knowledge for retrieval and reasoning. It integrates…
arXiv:2312.11018v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Bundle recommendation ranks sets of related items rather than isolated items. Its central challenge is to connect user preferences, item interactions, and bundle…
arXiv:2610.09041v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Navigable graphs can be built without searching for neighbors: partition the data, evaluate every pair inside each part, and select each point's edges from the…
arXiv:2610.09026v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present BEACON-SP, an ontology-grounded Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) framework for clinician-facing decision support in behavioral health settings…
arXiv:2610.10441v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Social media systems typically display conversations among already familiar contributors, which can be predictable and one-sided. In civic discourse, this design narrows…
