How to Address Reviewer Comments About Insufficient Theoretical Analysis

The article explains why simply citing strong experimental results does not satisfy reviewers who question a method's theoretical justification, and provides a structured rebuttal strategy that clarifies core mechanisms, underlying assumptions, and the method's applicability limits.

When Does Dot-Product Attention Switch from Positional to Semantic? A Phase Transition Theory

This paper presents a solvable low‑rank dot‑product attention model and, using high‑dimensional asymptotics and GAMP analysis, derives closed‑form characterizations of global optima that reveal a phase transition between positional and semantic attention mechanisms as sample complexity grows, with empirical validation against linear baselines.

Can 1K Fine‑Tuning Replace 100K RL Steps? Insights from Re‑distillation Research

An extensive analysis shows that a 1K‑sample fine‑tuning stage can replicate the generalization gains of thousands of reinforcement‑learning steps, explains the compressibility of RL, introduces a sample‑effect theory, and demonstrates that re‑distillation and small‑scale SFT dramatically improve LLM performance.
