Large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable reasoning capabilities, but their task-specific fine-tuning is notoriously plagued by overconfidence, severely hindering trustworthy deployment. We propose Data-Adaptive Lower-Rank Adaptation (DALorRA), a simple and effective variational Bayesian sparse framework that shifts the paradigm of uncertainty quantification from the dense parameter space to the lightweight rank level of low-rank adaptation (LoRA). With the insight that LoRA essentially aggregates multiple rank-one components that may provide superfluous model capacity, DALorRA imposes stochastic masking on rank dimensions, enabling Bayesian regularization of model capacity during training and ensemble-like calibration during inference. Extensive experiments demonstrate DALorRA's excellent calibration of LLMs without compromising reasoning accuracy.
Efficient inference in Large Language Models (LLMs) requires deciding where computation can be reduced while preserving model quality. We study this problem through multilayer perceptron (MLP) activation sparsification and token-level conditional routing. We first propose Sensiti…
Large Language Models (LLMs) and high-dimensional perception networks increasingly rely on parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) to adapt to diverse operational contexts. However, standard methods like LoRA are structurally limited by a monolithic bottleneck, making them highly…
Can a language model estimate its familiarity with an entity before generating an answer? We study activations at the final prompt token in twelve instruction-tuned models from the Bielik, PLLuM, Gemma-4, and Qwen3 families, using a new dataset of 1,440 Polish entities spanning f…
Human choice behavior, including route choice, exhibits systematic behavioral biases that deviate from the assumptions of full rationality. Cumulative prospect theory (CPT) has been widely recognized as an effective framework for characterizing such behavioral patterns. However,…
Large Language Models (LLMs) store factual knowledge and domain-specific patterns implicitly in dense Transformer parameters, making knowledge expansion costly through pretraining, fine-tuning, retrieval augmentation, or longer contexts. Engram-style memory offers a compact hidde…
Early detection of dementia enables timely intervention, and reflecting cognitive impairment, spontaneous speech offers a non-invasive screening modality. Conventional approaches often focus on a single representational dimension -- such as acoustic descriptors, pause modeling, a…
