Deep learning of first-order nonlinear hyperbolic conservation law solvers
Victor Morand, Nils MΓΌller, Ryan Weightman, Benedetto Piccoli, Alexander Keimer, Alexandre M. Bayen, Journal of Computational Physics, 2024
We study the numerical approximation of scalar conservation laws by computational optimization of the numerical flux function in a first-order finite volume method.
On the Representations of Entities in Auto-regressive Large Language Models
Victor Morand, Josiane Mothe, Benjamin Piwowarski, BlackBoxNLP@EMNLP, 2025
We investigate how Large Language Models internally represent entities by introducing entity mention reconstruction as a novel framework for studying how LLMs encode and manipulate entities.
ToMMeR β Efficient Entity Mention Detection from Large Language Models
Victor Morand, Nadi Tomeh, Josiane Mothe, Benjamin Piwowarski, , 2025
We introduce ToMMeR, a lightweight model probing mention detection capabilities from early LLM layers, achieving high zero-shot recall across diverse benchmarks.
MICE: Minimal Interaction Cross-Encoders for efficient Re-ranking
Mathias Vast*, Victor Morand*, Basile van Cooten, Laure Soulier, Josiane Mothe, Benjamin Piwowarski, arXiv preprint, 2026
We propose MICE (Minimal Interaction Cross-Encoders), a new architecture that achieves a 4x decrease in inference latency while maintaining high ranking effectiveness.
Reproducing and Comparing Distillation Techniques for Cross-Encoders
Victor Morand, Mathias Vast, Basile Van Cooten, Laure Soulier, Josiane Mothe, Benjamin Piwowarski, arXiv preprint, 2026
We reproduce and compare different distillation strategies for cross-encoders across a wide range of architectures, identifying robust design choices for effective re-ranking.
