arXiv:2604.01904v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data rights owners can detect unauthorized data use in large language model (LLM) training by querying with proprietary samples. Often, superior performance (e.g., higher confidence or lower loss) on a sample relative to the untrained data implies it was part of the training corpus, as LLMs tend to perform better on data they have seen during training. However, this detection becomes fragile under data laundering, a practice of transforming the stylistic form of proprietary data, while preserving critical information to obfuscate data provenance. When an LLM is trained exclusively on such laundered variants, it no longer performs better on originals, erasing the signals that standard detections rely on. We counter this by inferring the unknown laundering transformation from black-box access to the target LLM and, via an auxiliary LLM, synthesizing queries that mimic the laundered data, even if rights owners have only the originals. As the search space of finding true laundering transformations is infinite, we abstract such a process into a high-level transformation goal (e.g., "lyrical rewriting") and concrete details (e.g., "with vivid imagery"), and introduce synthesis data reversion (SDR) that instantiates this abstraction. SDR first identifies the most probable goal for synthesis to narrow the search; it then iteratively refines details so that synthesized queries gradually elicit stronger detection signals from the target LLM. Evaluated on the MIMIR benchmark against diverse laundering practices and target LLM families (Pythia, Llama2, and Falcon), SDR consistently strengthens data misuse detection, providing a practical countermeasure to data laundering.

arXiv:2512.07805v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present GRAPE (Group Representational Position Encoding), a unified framework for positional encoding based on group actions. GRAPE unifies two families of mechanisms: (i) multiplicative rotations (Multiplicative GRAPE) in $\operatorname{SO}(d)$ and (ii) additive logit biases (Additive GRAPE) arising from unipotent actions in the general linear group $\mathrm{GL}$. In Multiplicative GRAPE, a position $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ (or $t \in \mathbb{R}$) acts as $\mathbf{G}(n) = \exp(n \, \omega \, \mathbf{L})$ with a rank-2 skew-symmetric generator $\mathbf{L} \in \mathbb{R}^{d \times d}$, yielding a relative, compositional, norm-preserving map with a closed-form matrix exponential. RoPE is recovered exactly when the $d/2$ planes correspond to canonical coordinate pairs with a log-uniform spectrum. Learned commuting subspaces and compact non-commuting mixtures strictly extend this geometry to capture cross-subspace feature coupling at $O(d)$ and $O(r d)$ cost per head, respectively. In Additive GRAPE, additive logits arise from rank-1 (or low-rank) unipotent actions, recovering ALiBi and the Forgetting Transformer (FoX) as exact special cases while preserving an exact relative law and streaming cacheability. Overall, GRAPE provides a principled design space for positional geometry in long-context models, subsuming RoPE and ALiBi as special cases.

arXiv:2603.16880v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) provides a non-invasive window into neural dynamics at high temporal resolution and plays a pivotal role in clinical neuroscience research. Despite this potential, prevailing computational approaches to EEG analysis remain largely confined to task-specific classification objectives or coarse-grained pattern recognition, offering limited support for clinically meaningful interpretation. To address these limitations, we introduce NeuroNarrator, the first generalist EEG-to-text foundation model designed to translate electrophysiological segments into precise clinical narratives. A cornerstone of this framework is the curation of NeuroCorpus-160K, the first harmonized large-scale resource pairing over 160,000 EEG segments with structured, clinically grounded natural-language descriptions. Our architecture first aligns temporal EEG waveforms with spatial topographic maps via a rigorous contrastive objective, establishing spectro-spatially grounded representations. Building on this grounding, we condition a Large Language Model through a state-space-inspired formulation that integrates historical temporal and spectral context to support coherent clinical narrative generation. This approach establishes a principled bridge between continuous signal dynamics and discrete clinical language, enabling interpretable narrative generation that facilitates expert interpretation and supports clinical reporting workflows. Extensive evaluations across diverse benchmarks and zero-shot transfer tasks highlight NeuroNarrator's capacity to integrate temporal, spectral, and spatial dynamics, positioning it as a foundational framework for time-frequency-aware, open-ended clinical interpretation of electrophysiological data.
