Standard transformers entangle all computation in a single residual stream, obscuring which components perform which functions. We introduce the Dual-Stream Transformer, which decomposes the residual stream into two functionally distinct…
We consider a generalization of the third degree price discrimination problem studied in Bergemann et al. (2015), where an intermediary between the buyer and the seller can design market segments to maximize any linear combination of…
Recent advancements in large language models have demonstrated that extended inference through techniques can markedly improve performance, yet these gains come with increased computational costs and the propagation of inherent biases found…
The notion of Online State Complexity, introduced by Karp in 1967, quantifies the amount of states required to solve a given problem using an online algorithm, which is represented by a deterministic machine scanning the input from left to…

We study the CHAIN communication problem introduced by Cormode et al. [ICALP 2019]. It is a generalization of the well-studied INDEX problem. For $k\geq 1$, in CHAIN$_{n,k}$, there are $k$ instances of INDEX, all with the same answer. They…
End-to-end Speech Translation is hindered by a lack of available data resources. While most of them are based on documents, a sentence-level version is available, which is however single and static, potentially impeding the usefulness of…

A multiplicity queue is a concurrently-defined data type which relaxes the conditions of a linearizable FIFO queue to allow concurrent Dequeue instances to return the same value. It would seem that this should allow faster implementations,…
We study the scalability of consensus-based distributed optimization algorithms by considering two questions: How many processors should we use for a given problem, and how often should they communicate when communication is not free?…
