LFD: Layer Fused Decoding to Exploit External Knowledge in Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Posted by klaurent This Week: Theoretical Physics, UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yang Sun, Yang Sun, , , | Summary: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) incorporates external knowledge into large language models (LLMs), improving their adaptability to downstream tasks and enabling information updates. Surprisingly, recent empirical evidence demonstrates that injecting noise into retrieved relevant documents paradoxically facilitates exploitation of external knowledge […]

Sensorimotor dynamics in the superior colliculus of the echolocating bat

Posted by dbos Hopkins, This Week: Neuroscience

Kavli Affiliate: Cynthia F. Moss | Authors: Gowri Somasekhar, Ninad B Kothari, Cynthia F Moss and Melville Wohlgemuth | Summary: To successfully execute natural tasks, animals must continuously monitor and integrate dynamic sensory information to guide behavior. While this process – known as active sensing – is fundamental to goal-directed behavior, the mechanisms by which […]

Dynamic neural states underpin bradykinesia severity in Parkinsons disease

Posted by dbos This Week: Neuroscience, UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Philip Starr | Authors: Abhinav Sharma, Bahman Abdi Sargezeh, Amelia Hahn, Maria Shcherbakova, Wolf Julian Neumann, Simon Little, Philip Starr and Ashwini Oswal | Summary: Background: Bradykinesia in Parkinson′s disease (PD) may arise due to transient, network–wide neural dynamics that extend beyond beta–band oscillatory activity within the motor cortical-subthalamic nucleus (STN) circuit. Methods: […]

Precise Extraction of Neural Motifs Reveals Multiscale, Parallel Encoding Schemes in Auditory Cortex

Posted by dbos Hopkins, This Week: Neuroscience

Kavli Affiliate: Adam S. Charles and Patrick Kanold | Authors: Liang Xiang, Mingxuan Wang, Patrick O. Kanold and Adam Charles | Summary: Neural population activity is often stereotyped into recurring activity patterns, i.e., neural motifs, which can be seen as the fundamental building blocks in sensory processing and cognition. In this work we study the […]

GitTaskBench: A Benchmark for Code Agents Solving Real-World Tasks Through Code Repository Leveraging

Posted by klaurent Peking, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Ziyi Ni, Ziyi Ni, , , | Summary: Beyond scratch coding, exploiting large-scale code repositories (e.g., GitHub) for practical tasks is vital in real-world software development, yet current benchmarks rarely evaluate code agents in such authentic, workflow-driven scenarios. To bridge this gap, we introduce GitTaskBench, a […]
