• Title: Narrative Landscape: Mapping Narrative Dispositions Across LLMs
• Abstract summary: We operationalize disposition through two dimensions: "consistency", measured as cross-replication selection overlap via Jaccard similarity, and "diversity", measured as dispersion across options via the inverse Simpson index.<n>Results reveal a clear rigidity-exploration spectrum across model families and show that instruction types shift the geometry of selection spaces even when scalar metrics appear similar.

• Abstract: This study proposes a quantitative framework for profiling LLM dispositions as stable, model-specific regularities in output under repeated, controlled elicitation. Using a structured narrative constraint-selection task administered across six frontier models and three instruction types, we operationalize disposition through two dimensions: "consistency", measured as cross-replication selection overlap via Jaccard similarity, and "diversity", measured as dispersion across options via the inverse Simpson index. We further introduce Narrative Landscape, a PCA-based visualization that maps each model's selection profile into a shared space for direct comparison. Results reveal a clear rigidity-exploration spectrum across model families and show that instruction types shift the geometry of selection spaces even when scalar metrics appear similar, indicating that comparable scores can mask qualitatively distinct selection topologies.

  Coreset selection seeks to choose a subset of crucial training samples for efficient learning. Sample selection hinges on two main aspects: a sample's representation in enhancing performance and the role of sample diversity in averting overfitting. Existing methods typically measure both the representation and diversity of data based on similarity metrics.

  We propose a novel axiomatic method to match similar regions across shapes. Matching similar regions is formulated as the alignment of the spectra of operators closely related to the Laplace-Beltrami operator (LBO) We show that matching these dual spectra outperforms competing axiomatic frameworks when tested on standard benchmarks.

  Some pairs of finetuned models have large barriers of increasing loss on the linear paths between them. We find distinct clusters of models which are linearly connected on the test loss surface, but are disconnected from models outside the cluster. Our work demonstrates how the geometry of the loss surface can guide models towards different functions.
