New framework unifies economic utility with AI model caching

A new paper proposes a theoretical framework that unifies economic principles of marginal utility with machine learning concepts like matrix factorization and the Key-Value (KV) cache in transformer language models. This framework suggests an allocation rule for retaining top dimensions based on their eigenvalue exceeding a shadow price. The paper applies this to geo-mining document extraction, detailing a multi-pass inference protocol and a layer-wise TIES model merging procedure. Empirically, an 11.2-million-parameter classifier achieved 90.0% accuracy on a uranium-exploration corpus with low latency and cost, while a diagnostic revealed and corrected a degenerate merging mode.

    Marginal utility, matrix factorization, and the Key-Value (KV) cache: a unified information-economic framework for sovereign geo-mining inference

    arXiv:2609.20068v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper builds a theoretical bridge between the economic notion of marginal utility and two machine-learning constructs, matrix factorization and the Key--Value cache of transformer language models. The singular value spectrum of…
