+0000https://alexandre-bismuth.github.io/research_projects/icaif-mechanistic-interpretability/Conference paper at ACM ICAIF 2026: the first mechanistic interpretability study of a limit-order-book foundation model shows that a message-only Mamba-3 model encodes the market's order flow in its recurrent state, and that steering that state shifts its next-message beliefs.https://alexandre-bismuth.github.io/research_projects/icaif-adversarial-post-training/Tue, 13 Oct 2026 00:00:00

engine steers evolutionary updates of a limit-order-book foundation model, improving realism by 17.6% for under 12 GPU-hours.https://alexandre-bismuth.github.io/research_projects/neurips-gddl-attention-sinks/Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00
