Brevity Constraints Reverse Performance Hierarchies in Language Models

Published in arXiv preprint, 2026

This preprint investigates how imposing brevity constraints on language model outputs can unexpectedly reverse established performance hierarchies across model families and sizes. The findings have significant implications for understanding test-time compute efficiency and the deployment behaviour of large language models under constrained generation settings.

Multi-Scale Temporal Homeostasis Enables Efficient and Robust Neural Networks

Published in arXiv preprint, 2025

This preprint introduces multi-scale temporal homeostasis as a mechanism for enhancing the efficiency and robustness of artificial neural networks. Inspired by biological nervous systems that coordinate activity across multiple temporal scales, the proposed framework enables more stable training dynamics and improved resilience under adverse conditions.
