CLaRE-ty Amid Chaos: Quantifying Representational Entanglement to Predict Ripple Effects in LLM Editing

Manit Baser, Alperen Yildiz, Dinil Mon Divakaran et al.

The static knowledge representations of large language models (LLMs) inevitably become outdated or incorrect over time. While model-editing techniques offer a promising solution by modifying a model's factual associations, they often produce unpredictable ripple effects, which are unintended behavioral changes that propagate even to the hidden space. In this work, we introduce CLaRE, a lightweight representation-level technique to identify where these ripple effects may occur. Unlike prior gradient-based methods, CLaRE quantifies entanglement between facts using forward activations from a single intermediate layer, avoiding costly backward passes. To enable systematic study, we prepare and analyse a corpus of 11,427 facts drawn from three existing datasets. Using CLaRE, we compute large-scale entanglement graphs of this corpus for multiple models, capturing how local edits propagate through representational space. These graphs enable stronger preservation sets for model editing, audit trails, efficient red-teaming, and scalable post-edit evaluation. In comparison to baselines, CLaRE achieves an average of 62.2% improvement in Spearman correlation with ripple effects while being $2.74\times$ faster, and using $2.85\times$ less peak GPU memory. Besides, CLaRE requires only a fraction of the storage needed by the baselines to compute and preserve fact representations. Our entanglement graphs and corpus are available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/CLaRE-488E.

OAH-Net: A Deep Neural Network for Hologram Reconstruction of Off-axis Digital Holographic Microscope

Wei Liu, Kerem Delikoyun, Qianyu Chen et al.

Off-axis digital holographic microscopy is a high-throughput, label-free imaging technology that provides three-dimensional, high-resolution information about samples, particularly useful in large-scale cellular imaging. However, the hologram reconstruction process poses a significant bottleneck for timely data analysis. To address this challenge, we propose a novel reconstruction approach that integrates deep learning with the physical principles of off-axis holography. We initialized part of the network weights based on the physical principle and then fine-tuned them via weakly supersized learning. Our off-axis hologram network (OAH-Net) retrieves phase and amplitude images with errors that fall within the measurement error range attributable to hardware, and its reconstruction speed significantly surpasses the microscope's acquisition rate. Crucially, OAH-Net demonstrates remarkable external generalization capabilities on unseen samples with distinct patterns and can be seamlessly integrated with other models for downstream tasks to achieve end-to-end real-time hologram analysis. This capability further expands off-axis holography's applications in both biological and medical studies.
