A new research paper proposes a graph signal processing approach to understand how large language models (LLMs) process numerical information during in-context learning. By analyzing attention mechanisms as weighted graphs and token states as signals, the study reveals that LLMs develop more distinct representations for numerical inference as context length grows. The research indicates that simpler inputs lead to more globally connected token graphs and smoother signals, while complex inputs result in more localized graphs and broader spectral energy in hidden states, suggesting systematic internal signatures for numerical ICL across different model families.
