英文摘要:Attention Residuals replace the fixed residual sum with depthwise attention over previous sub-layer outputs in large language models (LLMs), but use each output as both a full-dimensional key and value. This couples routing with representation and makes depth-routing scores scale with the hidden width $d$. We propose Low-Rank Attention Residuals (LR-AttnRes), which keep full-dimensional residual values while using $r$-dimensional keys, with $r \ll d$, for routing. Projected LR-AttnRes emits learned low-rank keys from existing output projections, decoupling routing from residual content and achieving the best validation loss among the variants tested. Sliced LR-AttnRes uses the last $r$ dimensions of each value as the routing key, removing the auxiliary key-projection path and reducing residual-side FLOPs while still improving performance. Comprehensive sweeps show that depthwise routing can be effective with far fewer dimensions than the model width. We release code and models to facilitate future research.

英文摘要:Training in reduced floating-point precision can silently halt learning: when a gradient-descent weight update falls below half the unit in the last place (ULP) of the weight, it rounds away and that coordinate freezes while its gradient is still nonzero. The freeze is deterministic, governed by a per-coordinate half-ULP condition, and predictable from a high-precision trajectory and the target mantissa length alone, without low-precision data. In a small GPT trained under the standard AdamW-plus-cosine recipe with bf16-equivalent stored weights, training proceeds normally and then permanently freezes just past mid-run, within four steps of the a-priori prediction. In a $124$-million-parameter GPT-2 transformer whose weights are constrained to the $8$-bit floating-point grid after every optimizer step, with no master weights, the dense weights freeze at initialization in both fp8 formats -- predicted \emph{a priori} from an fp32 reference -- and validation loss plateaus while full precision keeps improving. Stochastic rounding removes the persistent freeze, and the same reference predicts that too. The condition transfers across frozen-feature regression, a mantissa-truncation emulator spanning $128\times$ in precision, small networks, and a CNN on MNIST: a computable axis of low-precision training, not diffuse noise.

英文摘要:Fixed-state sequence models compress an unbounded past into a bounded state, which caps their associative recall at roughly the state dimension; attention escapes the cap by keeping a key-value entry for every token, at quadratic compute and a cache that grows with the sequence. We study the middle ground: a sparse cache that allocates a slot only when an input is novel, so its size tracks the number of distinct items rather than the number of tokens. The allocation rule is the DP-means clustering rule, the small-variance limit of a Dirichlet-process mixture, used not as latent-variable inference but as the key-value memory operator for a deep recurrent backbone. We develop it in two forms, a static cache with a fixed concentration and a surprise-adaptive variant whose concentration follows the recent novelty rate. On a controlled associative-recall benchmark with redundancy we show that the cache matches full-attention recall while storing only the distinct items, that it dominates a fixed-budget eviction cache on the recall-versus-size frontier, and that on a state-space backbone it answers both a recall query and a long-range aggregate at the lowest memory of any model tested. The allocation is learnable end to end: a two-parameter novelty-threshold gate trained on the task loss alone recovers the rule exactly, whereas an over-parameterized gate fails, so the operative ingredient is the inductive bias rather than capacity. The evidence is a family of controlled mechanism studies at modest scale, with the distinct-items property confirmed on four real streams (recommendation, systems logs, clinical events, and insurance claims); a real-backbone, real-corpus language validation is pursued in a companion study.

英文摘要:Large language models (LLMs) store factual knowledge in their parameters. While recent work has shown that this knowledge resides in MLP layers, existing constructive and mechanistic interpretability models of fact-storage in LLMs fail to explain the surprising empirical phenomenon that they store facts at an information-theoretically optimal rate. In this work, we develop a theoretical account of this phenomenon. We develop the first Transformer-compatible fact-storing MLP closed-form construction that satisfies the following three properties empirically observed in LLMs: it (i) attains optimal fact storage scaling, (ii) handles arbitrary input/output geometries, and (iii) works inside Transformers. Key to our work is to analyze the decoding margin of MLPs, whereas prior work only studies MLP fact storage. Under isotropic embeddings, our construction achieves information-theoretically optimal storage capacity scaling and requires $10$-$104\times$ fewer parameters at matched fact count than prior constructions. For arbitrary key and value embeddings, we show that our construction attains the same storage capacity scaling, up to penalization factors depending on the embedding geometries. Moreover, we demonstrate that our constructed MLPs can be used within Transformer blocks for factual recall tasks at optimal capacity scaling, requiring $15$-$63\times$ fewer parameters at matched fact count than prior constructions. Finally, as a proof-of-concept, we show that fact-storing MLPs enable modular fact editing by swapping a Transformer's MLP with a new one.

英文摘要:Recursive reasoning models address structured problems by repeatedly updating latent states of small neural networks. However, their test-time scaling lacks a principled inference mechanism: increasing depth or stochastic breadth generates more trajectories without a clear criterion for selection, and existing methods predominantly rely on additional q-heads or heuristic voting. Here, we develop the Energy-guided Recursive Model (ERM), which introduces an intrinsic selection principle based on explicit Hopfield energies. ERM leverages Hopfield-type memories of valid local or global structures to define the selector over candidate trajectories. The resulting energy seamlessly integrates with energy-based techniques such as parallel tempering to enhance sampling efficiency and ranking. With $D=64$ recurrent steps and $K=128$ candidates, ERM reaches optimal solutions on Sudoku ($98.97\%$), Pencil Puzzle Bench (PPBench, $88.04\%$) and Maze ($99.30\%$), improving upon recent Probabilistic Tiny Recursive Model and Equilibrium Reasoners. These results suggest that incorporating explicit energy functions into recursive reasoning offers a principled path toward more effective inference.

英文摘要:Selecting the correct answer from a pool of candidate reasoning chains is the engine of test-time scaling, yet the standard selectors each carry a cost: self-consistency inherits the errors of the single model it resamples, and trained reward models need labeled data and transfer poorly off-distribution. We study a third signal, free at inference time: cross-model consensus, the degree to which independently trained models, each solving the problem once, agree on a final answer. We treat the panel as an LLM-jury, in which the structure of agreement, not any model's score of another, is the verification signal. Across seven benchmarks it selects correct answers better than self-consistency and far better than a model scoring its own candidates: on competition math it closes the entire gap to an oracle selector, while self-scoring closes almost none. The mechanism is error decorrelation: independently trained models err differently, so their wrong answers scatter while the correct one accumulates agreement. We make this precise with a parameter-free law, derived in closed form, that predicts consensus accuracy from three measured panel statistics to a mean absolute error of $0.03$ and exposes the method's ceiling: a shared-error floor where models share a misconception, near zero on math but non-trivial on science. Against four trained verifiers spanning discriminative, outcome, and generative reward models, the free LLM-jury matches the strongest inside their math training domain and is the top selector outside it. Cross-model consensus is thus a verifier we can characterize in advance: a law that says when to trust it, and a floor that marks where it cannot.

英文摘要:We study how unsupervised autoencoders trained on microscopic spin configurations from the Ising model learn macroscopic, theory-relevant variables underlying the data-generating process. Without embedding domain knowledge, we mimic a typical discovery setting: We quantify learning across multiple spatial (coarse-graining) scales and reveal two distinct dynamical regimes controlled by main hyperparameters (model depth, width, and learning rate) -- a magnetization-dominated regime and an energy-dominated regime characterized by trade-offs in their representation quality. The first regime is a transitory state exhibiting dynamical scaling and fluctuations that follow an ordering-to-scale; the second gradually shifts resolution towards smaller scales relevant for the energy representation. Deep models trained at moderate and fast rates become arrested before reaching these regimes. With a novel analysis of recursive-dynamic trajectories, we demonstrate that prediction errors induce flow fields that produce a common trajectory topology across all representation spaces. A dynamical viewpoint of learning is established in which intrinsic properties expose the effects of forced changes in representation during training. We utilize the intuition that learning operates as a process driven far from equilibrium by fluctuations from the training data and optimizer to provide an interpretive basis grounded in both the physical world and the machine models that represent it.

英文摘要:Latent world models are trained to predict future states in a learned representation and are then deployed inside a planner that selects actions by simulating them forward. Current practice adopts the prediction error, the single- or multi-step rollout loss on held-out data, as the training and model-selection objective, on the assumption that a lower prediction error yields better control. We show that this assumption is unreliable for a structural reason: a planner does not query the model on the training distribution but on the states that its candidate actions reach, which generally leave the data manifold, so an error averaged over the data cannot by itself govern control. We therefore reframe the objective as the discrepancy between the predicted and the true plan-cost at the plan the planner commits to, and prove that the planner's suboptimality is bounded by twice this discrepancy, whereas the data-averaged prediction error neither bounds nor tracks it. Under a linear-control premise the discrepancy separates into two terms. The first is a small on-manifold residual, on which the predicted and true dynamics agree and which a spectral tax prices through the non-normality of the latent transition operator. The second is an off-manifold divergence, on which an action carries the state off the manifold and the two dynamics diverge; this divergence is the binding term and is bounded by no data-averaged error. Synthetic operators confirm the pricing formulas, and latent model-predictive control experiments confirm the decoupling: across seeds, the single-step validation error is essentially uncorrelated with control success, whereas a fidelity score on the planner-reachable measure tracks it.

英文摘要:Large language model (LLM) agents accumulate heterogeneous context, including system instructions, plans, user turns, retrieved documents, tool outputs, and intermediate reasoning, whose key-value (KV) cache can become a major memory bottleneck. Existing eviction policies generally apply the same attention- or recency-based rule to every token, ignoring semantic structure already available to the agent orchestrator. We introduce MemDecay, a training-free, region-aware KV-cache eviction policy. MemDecay assigns tokens region-specific base priorities and decay rates, refreshes retention scores when tokens receive attention, and evicts the lowest-scoring pages under a fixed cache budget while allowing critical regions to be pinned. We also provide a procedure for calibrating decay rates from measured attention lifetimes. We evaluate MemDecay at approximately 450 and 1,700 token contexts using Qwen2.5-1.5B and 3B. Across all settings, attention lifetimes differ by an order of magnitude across regions: system-token half-lives range from 148 to 189 decoding steps, compared with 14 to 16 for scratchpad tokens. Pinning preserves system-region facts at full-cache accuracy in every setting, while no baseline preserves more than 13 of 24. Region-aware retention remains effective as context grows, whereas recency-based retention collapses. Accumulated-attention retention performs better on unpinned content, however, and ablations identify attention-score normalization as the main limitation of the current formulation. These results establish semantic prompt structure as a robust signal for KV-cache management while clarifying how it should be combined with attention-based importance.

英文摘要: Normalization is a critical component for stabilizing Transformer training, yet the choice between static strategies such as Layer Normalization (LN) and adaptive alternatives remains largely task-dependent. In this paper, we investigate a key optimization challenge in differentiable normalization gating. Our experiments show that, on relatively stationary vision tasks, the high gradient variance introduced by Gumbel-Softmax gating can hinder convergence of the routing mechanism, causing learned gates to underperform simple random selection. In contrast, on non-stationary language modeling and classification tasks, sustained gating diversity enables the model to learn more effective layer-wise normalization policies. Motivated by these observations, we propose AutoNorm-S (Stabilized), a training strategy that mitigates optimization instability through a gate-freezing schedule. AutoNorm-S achieves competitive or improved performance across multiple benchmarks, outperforming adaptive normalization baselines on NLP datasets, including PTB and SST-2, while remaining competitive on standard vision benchmarks. These results suggest that decoupling normalization selection from optimization noise provides a practical and principled approach for adaptive normalization in Transformer architectures.

英文摘要:The analysis of Multivariate Time Series (MTS) plays an important role in a lot of real-world practical applications, but it still remains some challenging problem about capturing multi-granularity structural patterns and suppressing noise appropriately. Multi-Scale Convolution with Optimal Transport Attention (MSC-OT) is proposed in this paper. MSC-OT is a useful architecture to optimize the attention mechanism. It combines multi-scale convolution with Sinkhorn optimal transport method based on inverted embedding. The inverted embedding approach embeds each variable as a token and allows the model to capture cross-variate relationships better. MSC-OT consists of two part: (1) Multi-Scale Convolution Enhancement, that applies multi-scale convolutions to attention score matrices based on inverted embedding, capturing local structural patterns in the variate-interaction space induced by compressed temporal representations; (2) Sinkhorn Optimal Transport Regularization, that formulates attention computation as an optimal transport problem and employs iterative matrix scaling to ensure balanced information flow across variates. Adaptive Fusion Strategy utilizes softmax-normalized learnable weights to dynamically combine base attention, convolution-enhanced, and OT-regularized scores. Experiments on widely-used datasets, including ETT, Electricity, Traffic, Solar-Energy, and Exchange-Rate, show that MSC-OT achieves well performance in both short-term and long-term forecasting tasks. Ablation experiments further validate the effectiveness of each proposed component and their synergistic contributions to improving prediction accuracy for multivariate time series forecasting.

英文摘要:Identifying heterogeneous treatment effects under unobserved confounding is central in observational causal inference. In proxy models with a discrete latent confounder, prior Synthetic Potential Outcomes (SPO) [Mazaheri-Squires-Uhler '25] recover the mixture of treatment effects through recursively constructed scalar moments. We show that this sequence is one projection of a more fundamental object. Under the same population factorization assumptions, there is an exact compressed observable operator: after projecting onto the shared proxy signal subspace, the difference of two treatment-arm quotient operators is similar to the diagonal matrix of latent treatment effects. Its eigenvalues are the latent effects; its lifted left eigenvectors, after anchor normalization, recover the target-proxy feature matrix and then the latent mixture proportions. Every scalar SPO moment is a bilinear functional of a power of this operator. The resulting estimator handles overcomplete proxy systems, replaces high-order scalar inversion with finite-dimensional spectral analysis, and admits high-probability first-order perturbation bounds for treatment effects, feature rows, and simplex-projected mixture weights.

英文摘要:Federated learning distributes data among $n$ clients, making it vulnerable to malicious attacks and data heterogeneity, which together pose challenges for robust learning. To tackle this issue, centered clipping and Huber aggregators have been exploited for Byzantine robustness. In this paper, we first demonstrate their equivalence via convex conjugate theory, and show that they can yield biased solutions in the presence of outliers, leading to failure under high data heterogeneity and a substantial fraction of outliers. Next, we propose a new robust aggregation rule that utilizes the truncated-quadratic (TQ) loss, effectively mitigating the biases of existing methods, such as centered clipping and Huber aggregators. We show that our aggregator achieves order-optimal Byzantine-robust learning under nonconvex loss functions and heterogeneous data, ultimately enhancing the reliability of federated learning systems. Additionally, we provide a robust deviation estimation strategy for TQ, demonstrating its effectiveness. Furthermore, we show that TQ maintains robustness even when only an estimate of the number of Byzantine clients is available. Finally, experimental results on MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, and CIFAR-10, indicate that our aggregator provides better robustness performance than the competing techniques.

英文摘要:Machine learning progress is often attributed to scaling model size and dataset volume, yet the composition of data can be just as consequential. Empirical findings repeatedly show that combining datasets from different domains yields nontrivial interactions. For instance, adding code improves mathematical reasoning, while certain mixtures introduce interference that reduces model performance. We refer to these effects collectively as data synergy, where the contribution of multiple domains exceeds or falls short of the sum of their isolated contributions. In this work, we formalize and quantify data synergy in language model pretraining. Leveraging observational variation across open-weight LLMs with diverse pretraining mixtures, we estimate both direct domain-to-benchmark synergy (how one domain contributes to performance on another) and a second-order domain-domain synergy (capabilities that require co-occurrence of multiple domains). Our framework improves predictive accuracy over domain-agnostic scaling laws and recovers stable synergy estimates. We validate these estimates by training models on predicted optimal and predicted anti-optimal mixtures and confirm that our synergy estimates correctly predict performance rankings.

英文摘要:The popularity of large language models (LLMs) escalates an ongoing demand for effective inference. However, due to the sequential processing of tokens during the token phase in decoder-only LLMs inference, the inherent low parallelism leads to reduced throughput and suboptimal utilization of the computing units on artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators, particularly when handling long-sequence inputs that impose significant memory overhead. Recently, many reported methods have been developed as potential solutions, since they emerge with numeric deviation. This paper presents FastTPS, a high performance and low-precision loss method for accelerating the token-phase in LLM inference on general AI accelerators which includes three key components: (1) AI accelerator-enabled reloading-free KV Cache concatenation which decreases memory access overhead as well as enables full fusion of Attention, (2) high-efficiency and high-accuracy 'RoPE' attention based on the tiling optimized FLAT, and (3) highly-fused MLP with fine-grain pipeline scheduling. Our results confirm that FastTPS significantly alleviates memory bottlenecks in the token phase, delivering a 6x speed improvement (compared to none-fusion) on an AMD Ryzen AI 300 series NPU with BF16 precision while sustaining 93% peak memory bandwidth utilization during Phi3-mini-4k-instruct inference.

英文摘要:Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) provide a meshless approach for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), but suffer severe degradation in stiff and shock-dominated problems, where small PDE residuals can correspond to globally inaccurate solutions. We show these failures are multi-causal, arising from the concurrent interplay of (i) spectral bias against sharp features, (ii) imbalanced multi-term optimization and loss-weight collapse, (iii) violation of temporal causality, and (iv) under-resolved collocation. We present SPARC-Net, a unified architecture and training framework that jointly addresses all four pathologies. SPARC-Net leverages an adaptive multi-scale spectral encoder with a learnable spectral gate, a gated residual backbone, adaptive activations, and a hard-constraint output ansatz that exactly enforces initial and boundary conditions, structurally eliminating loss-weight collapse. Training employs stabilized gradient-norm loss balancing, floored causality-respecting residual weighting, and residual-based adaptive collocation (RAD). Validated against exact analytic and high-order spectral reference solutions across four canonical benchmarks -- viscous Burgers', Allen-Cahn, convection (beta=30), and reaction -- SPARC-Net yields substantial improvements over vanilla PINNs: relative L2 error drops from 1.47e-1 to 1.14e-1 on Burgers' (22% reduction), 9.93e-1 to 5.78e-2 on Allen-Cahn (94% reduction), and 9.82e-1 to 3.54e-3 on reaction (100% reduction). A characteristic-coordinate encoder for hyperbolic transport further reduces convection error from 5.14e-1 to 9.88e-5 (100% reduction). We report five-seed mean +/- standard deviation errors, Wilcoxon significance tests, full ablation studies, hyperparameter sensitivities, an extension to the 2D heat equation, and comparisons against parameter-matched baselines.

英文摘要: Causal discovery from observational tabular data remains fundamentally challenging, primarily due to the heterogeneity of underlying causal mechanisms and the high-dimensional combinatorial search space of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). In this paper, we propose \textbf{DAG-FM}, a novel foundation model architecture that amortizes causal discovery. Unlike direct matrix prediction, DAG-FM decomposes the causal discovery process into two auto-regressive stages using two specialized Transformer-based sub-modules: a leaf-node predictor and a parent-node predictor. To effectively model complex row-column interactions, we adopt a robust tabular interaction block to output feature-wise representations. Crucially, to handle diverse and unknown Functional Causal Model (FCM) assumptions in real-world scenarios, we introduce Mixture-of-Leaf-Experts (MoLE), allowing the model to dynamically route and adapt to identifiable mechanism families. Through an iterative inference algorithm, DAG-FM seamlessly extracts causal orderings and constructs valid DAGs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DAG-FM achieves state-of-the-art performance on both synthetic benchmarks and complex real-world datasets, significantly outperforming traditional classical algorithms and recent foundation models in both accuracy and scalability.

英文摘要:A theoretical understanding of Transformers is crucial to better understand the capacities and limitations of large language models (LLMs). There is much work analyzing the expressivity of attention-based models. By proposing handcrafted weights or using computational complexity arguments, a large amount of past theoretical works have sought to characterize which tasks are and which are not in the hypothesis class of Transformer models. However, little work investigates the learnability of such solutions. In this work, we make progress towards this goal. Inspired by recent loss landscape analysis work, we propose preliminary sample complexity bounds for learning C-RASP constructions with Transformers.

英文摘要:Existing safety mechanisms for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) face a fundamental trade-off between safety and utility. Model fine-tuning achieves robust safety but compromises general utility. Input-side safety guardrails offer a lightweight alternative, yet they suffer from severe over-refusal, indiscriminately blocking benign queries or those the model could have safely answered through refusal or advisory responses. We identify that the root cause of over-refusal lies in the input-aware paradigm: safety guardrails make safety decisions without considering whether the model itself is capable of generating safe responses. Usually, MLLMs already possess intrinsic safety mechanisms that can transform harmful inputs into harmless outputs, but input-side safety guardrails override this capability, degrading user experience. Motivated by this insight, we propose a paradigm shift toward output-aware safety guardrails. Our method operates within the model's hidden state space to predict whether the forthcoming generation will be unsafe before it is fully produced. By training a lightweight classifier via multi-instance contrastive learning on hidden state representations, our approach distinguishes between inputs that will lead to unsafe outputs and those that will not, even when the inputs themselves contain risky elements. This enables precise intervention only when the model's actual response would be harmful. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our output-aware safety guardrail matches the safety performance of existing methods while drastically reducing over-refusal, preserving the model's utility and built-in safety capabilities.

英文摘要: Sixth-generation (6G) networks are moving toward AI-native operation, where learning modules are embedded across the radio access network (RAN), edge, and core. This transition requires learning from limited labels, heterogeneous wireless and network data, partial observations, non-stationary propagation, and latency-constrained control loops. Joint-embedding predictive architecture (JEPA) is a promising self-supervised paradigm for this setting because it predicts missing or future representations in latent space instead of reconstructing raw measurements or using contrastive negative samples. This article presents a wireless-oriented tutorial on JEPA for 6G intelligence. We define the JEPA training mechanism, describe how CSI, beam measurements, KPIs, topology graphs, and sensing observations can be tokenized and masked, and position the learned encoder as a predictive representation layer for RAN, O-RAN, edge, and core functions, with task-specific heads or controllers producing final decisions. Then we present an illustrative, beam-management case study suggesting that a wireless-aware target, specifically an auxiliary future beam-energy target during self-supervised pretraining, can improve label efficiency and robustness across shifted deployment conditions relative to a supervised source domain. Finally, we outline open challenges in multi-timescale prediction, action-conditioned modeling, distributed training, trustworthiness, efficient deployment, benchmarking, and standardization.

英文摘要:Cybersecurity systems must adapt rapidly to emerging threats. However, labeled data for new threat categories is unavailable when those threats first appear. Generalized zero-shot learning offers a natural solution by enabling recognition of unseen classes through auxiliary semantic knowledge rather than labeled examples. Large language models are particularly promising in this setting because they can convert unstructured CTI reports into semantic prototypes for emerging threats. However, applying language-driven zero-shot learning to cybersecurity is difficult due to strong semantic overlap between threat descriptions, heterogeneity between behavioral attributes and text, severe class imbalance, and open-set conditions where unseen threats are unknown during training. We propose SMETA-ZSL, that learns semantic prototypes from overlapping language descriptions through contrastive finetuning, aligns behavioral features through episodic meta-learning and knowledge distillation, and performs adaptive routing for generalization across seen-unseen classes. Across 7 benchmarks, SMETA-ZSL delivers the strongest overall generalized zero-shot performance under the strictest inductive setting, surpassing prior methods by 10.8 points on average, with gains up to 18.1 points.

英文摘要:Graph machine learning provides powerful tools for understanding complex networks and learning meaningful node representations. A central challenge, however, is designing embeddings with minimal distortion of both local and global functionals, such as shortest path lengths. Prior distortion guarantees for distance-preserving embeddings are worst-case in nature, producing overly pessimistic bounds that fail to capture the structure of typical large-scale networks. To address this, we analyze shortest-path approximation via landmark-based embeddings on inhomogeneous random graphs, a general model with type-dependent edge probabilities. By retaining shortest paths to a small set of reference nodes called landmarks, landmark-based methods effectively function as virtual graph spanners, where structural heterogeneity and controlled neighborhood expansion modeled via multi-type branching processes enable significantly tighter dimension-distortion trade-offs than classical worst-case bounds. We extend these guarantees to global, component-wide averages and unify the analysis across finite-type and continuous latent spaces through a novel metric sandwiching framework, establishing universal distortion bounds for general $L^2$ kernel models, including heavy-tailed and power-law networks. Finally, we introduce a GNN-augmented variant that replaces rigid, computationally expensive exact shortest-path queries with flexible, structure-aware neural surrogates. By leveraging the inherent alignment between graph neural message-passing and the dynamic programming principles of shortest-path algorithms, our approach demonstrates that models trained on small-scale random graphs learn to extract universal distance-preserving features, achieving robust generalization to large-scale, real-world networks that match or exceed the fidelity of classical, exact landmark-based embeddings.

英文摘要:We study the modality gap in CLIP-style dual-encoder contrastive learning, where image and text embeddings remain misaligned despite being trained in a shared space. We argue that the gap is induced by a failure of the InfoNCE formulation with independent encoders. We conduct a uni-modal experiment with two independent encoders and identical initialization conditions and find that InfoNCE actively generates a gap at low temperatures. We provide a theoretical analysis of this phenomenon and show that the modality gap is indeed a mode-failure of InfoNCE, but only at low temperatures. We propose a simple modification called xNCE, which uses intermodal as well as intra-modality negative contrastive pairs. xNCE matches retrieval performance on MS-COCO while consistently reducing the gap even at low temperatures. Notably, xNCE improves zero-shot classification over the InfoNCE baseline across all benchmarks, whereas high-temperature InfoNCE and regularized InfoNCE both fail to do so, demonstrating that xNCE reduces the modality gap without sacrificing the discriminative geometry needed for transfer.

英文摘要: Few-shot multimodal classification commonly attaches a lightweight head, such as $k$-nearest neighbors, logistic regression, or a linear SVM, to a frozen pretrained encoder. Although computationally efficient, these heads can produce poorly calibrated confidence scores, limiting their reliability in calibration-sensitive applications. We evaluate TabPFN as a plug-and-play, zero-gradient classification head for frozen image, text, and audio encoders. Across 22{,}820 evaluation episodes spanning 14 datasets, 11 encoders, and three modalities, TabPFN achieves the best mean rank among nine classification heads on both negative log-likelihood (NLL) and expected calibration error (ECE). At a representative setting, it reduces NLL by 48--62\% and ECE by 2.1--5.3$\times$ relative to the average of the eight baselines while matching or exceeding their average accuracy. Its accuracy advantage is conditional, concentrating at moderate-to-high shot counts and low-to-moderate feature dimensions ($k \ge 50$, $d \le 32$), and diminishing when labeled data are scarce, feature dimensions are high, or competing methods approach ceiling accuracy. In targeted backbone-adaptation experiments, replacing the trained linear head with TabPFN substantially improves calibration while preserving competitive accuracy. These results provide empirical guidance for using TabPFN as a training-free head in calibration-sensitive multimodal classification. To support transparency and reproducibility, we publicly release the source code, experiment configurations, and evaluation scripts in our GitHub repository: https://github.com/Jingxiang-Zhang/tabpfn-multimodal-embeddings.

英文摘要:Accurately representing atmospheric aerosol populations is essential for simulating aerosol-cloud interactions, radiative forcing, and ice nucleation, yet existing reduced schemes impose structural assumptions that limit their ability to capture composition diversity and mixing state. Machine-learning approaches offer more flexible representations, but standard autoencoders do not preserve the mathematical structure of aerosol populations and therefore cannot support physically meaningful process operators. We introduce AeroMELD (Aerosol Measure Embedding for Latent Dynamics), a mathematically grounded framework for constructing low-dimensional latent variables that retain this structure. We show that any permutation-invariant linear encoder must take a scale-shape decomposition, with total number concentration represented explicitly and latent shape given by a barycentric combination of per-particle embeddings. This aggregated latent state retains the diagnostic expressiveness of a Deep Sets model by moving the nonlinear post-aggregation stage into the learned diagnostic map while preserving latent linearity. Using particle-resolved data as ground truth, we encode weighted particle populations directly rather than binned aerosol states; size-resolved mass and number distributions serve only as diagnostic targets and visual summaries. The latent space accurately reconstructs these distributions, CCN spectra, optical coefficients, and immersion-freezing behavior while preserving the linear population structure needed for hybrid ML-physics models. Although the experiments focus on diagnostic reconstruction, the embedding is designed so that emissions and mixing can be represented exactly and nonlinear microphysical processes learned in a controlled latent space. This work establishes a foundation for learning aerosol-process evolution directly in latent space.

英文摘要:Graph fraud detection plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the security and integrity of modern digital ecosystems. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are commonly adopted for graph fraud detection. However, the practical performance of existing GNN-based detectors is severely hindered by incomplete node attributes and extreme class imbalance within graphs. To mitigate these limitations, this paper proposes a novel framework for Graph Fraud Detection with Grouped attribute completion and Confidence-aware Contrastive learning, named GFD-GC. Specifically, it first imitates heterogeneous neighborhood structures to implement group-wise aggregation, which obtains informative complete node features by capturing fine-grained graph contextual patterns. Further, it introduces a confidence-aware supervised contrastive learning strategy to augment scarce labeled fraud nodes with high confidence pseudo-fraud nodes, which enhances the compactness of fraud representations and their separability from non-fraud nodes. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of the proposed GFD-GC over state-of-the-art baselines on the graph fraud detection task, thereby providing an effective solution for real-world fraud scenarios.

英文摘要: Deep equilibrium models promise input-adaptive implicit computation: harder problems should demand more solver iterations, and the solved equilibrium should encode the result of genuine iterative inference. We report a cautionary study of a port-Hamiltonian DEQ with a learned initialization on two reasoning tasks -- ProofWriter entailment over frozen DeBERTa embeddings and a BFS-verified graph-reachability benchmark -- in which the implicit computation is a silent no-op. Across tasks, seeds, and controlled ablation arms, the solved equilibrium equals the solver's start point to numerical precision, and bypassing the solver entirely changes test accuracy by +0.00 percentage points in 18 of 19 training runs. Controlled interventions falsify the tempting explanation: removing the anchoring term reproduces every result, and retraining with noise-decoupled starts yields a solver that converges to the noisy start while the decoder learns to ignore it. The single escaping run diverges instead ($\|h^{*}-z_0\|=171$), producing a co-adapted noise channel whose removal improves accuracy. Iteration counts are uncorrelated with ground-truth difficulty ($r=0.009$), and the full apparatus never outperforms a two-layer MLP on either task. We trace the mechanism to gradient starvation along two distinct routes, show that the standard zeroing ablation is confounded and gives wildly seed-dependent answers where the correct substitution test gives a stable zero, and distill a four-test diagnostic protocol for auditing claimed implicit computation. All experiments run on a single free Colab GPU; code, raw logs, and analysis scripts are released.

英文摘要:Inverse design is an emerging data-driven paradigm for efficiently navigating vast chemical spaces to discover new materials with targeted properties, and in the context of heterogeneous catalysis, surface generative models have recently advanced this goal by directly generating catalyst surface-adsorbate structures. However, these models typically operate at the slab level and do not provide the corresponding parent bulk structure, making it difficult to assess bulk-dependent properties such as formation energy, surface energy, crystallographic symmetry, and synthesizability. Here, we address this missing slab-to-bulk connection as a retrieval problem and introduce CatRetriever, a contrastive representation learning model that aligns slab and bulk crystal representations in a shared latent space. From a slab query, CatRetriever accurately retrieves plausible parent bulk candidates with R@1 > 91% and R@3 > 98% on both the in-distribution and holdout evaluation sets. We further extend the CatRetriever framework into an adsorption energy targeted bulk discovery pipeline that combines bulk retrieval, generative search space expansion, and adsorption energy distribution analysis. This workflow evaluates candidates by both structural compatibility with the query slab and their ability to access the target adsorption energy range across diverse surface environments. CatRetriever therefore provides a scalable route for connecting catalyst generative models with physically plausible and adsorption energy compatible bulk catalyst discovery.

英文摘要:Reinforcement learning (RL) has become the dominant paradigm for improving the reasoning capabilities of large language models, but it requires expensive training, curated data, and reward signals. Recent work shows that sampling from sharpened base-model distributions at test time recovers much of the RL gain, yet existing methods rely solely on output-layer likelihoods and ignore the transformer's internal forward-pass dynamics. We introduce Depth-Entropy Guided Sampling (DEGS), a training-free, test-time method that exploits layer-wise entropy collapse as an intrinsic quality signal. We observe that stronger reasoners -- including RL-posttrained variants -- exhibit a distinctive "late collapse": logit-lens decoded entropy stays elevated until deeper layers before converging. We define a per-sequence collapse depth $D(\mathbf{x})$ and a joint objective $π(\mathbf{x}) \propto p(\mathbf{x})^α\exp(βD(\mathbf{x}))$ that combines sequence likelihood with this depth-entropy structure, instantiated inside an MCMC power-sampling framework (DEGS-MCMC). Across three open-weight models and four reasoning benchmarks, this near-chance per-candidate signal compounds over the sampling trajectory into state-of-the-art training-free accuracy, with gains largest out of domain and on the harder splits -- exactly where likelihood alone falls short -- at single-digit-percent wall-clock overhead. DEGS narrowly trails an in-house GRPO reference on the math splits GRPO was trained for, yet surpasses it out of domain on GPQA for all three models, without any training, reward model, or labeled data.

英文摘要:Large autoregressive language models exhibit a self-correction blind spot: they reliably fix identical errors when attributed to an external source yet fail to fix the same errors in their own outputs. Prior work has documented this phenomenon empirically, through controlled error injection, error-depth decompositions, RL-based verifier-corrector training, and intrinsic self-verification, but offers no formal model of why generating a token suppresses the ability to detect its error, no quantitative activation condition for correction markers, and no convergence guarantee for reinforcement-learning-based self-correction. We close these gaps with SPARC, a spectral-algebraic theory of self-correction in autoregressive generation. We define the error-propagation operator as the product of per-step attention Jacobians on the residual stream and prove that the blind spot arises if and only if the spectral radius of this operator is at least one. We derive a sharp activation threshold, given as a function of the spectral radius, that a correction marker must exceed, recovering the 89.3\% blind-spot reduction observed with a simple ``Wait'' marker. We further prove that RL-based verifier-corrector training converges at a rate proportional to the squared coupling strength over the square root of the number of samples if and only if the verifier-corrector coupling matrix has spectral norm below one, and that this criterion is invariant across residual-stream autoregressive modalities, unifying text LLMs and autoregressive image and video generation. Experiments across four backbones and a visual autoregressive probe validate every theorem, with spectral predictions matching measured blind-spot rates within 3.2\% RMSE.

英文摘要:We investigate whether identity-specifying system prompts produce statistically distinguishable geometric fingerprints in the hidden-state trajectories of four open-weight transformer language models spanning four post-training regimes: no training (Gemma-4-E4B base), multimodal RLHF (Gemma-4-E4B-it), RL distillation (DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B), and SFT (Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct). Three prompt conditions (an identity-specifying axis prompt, a length-matched generic-assistant prompt, and a 26-token vanilla baseline) are compared via five geometric metrics, principally the 1-Wasserstein distance between edge-wise distributions of Ollivier-Ricci curvature on k-NN trajectory graphs. Claims rest on trajectory-level permutation tests with multiple geometric controls (teacher-forced content controls, temporal-chain vs k-NN topology, ABT-projected k-NN, angular vs Euclidean graph construction, B=5000 permutations on borderline statistics). The central finding is a qualitative reorganization of identity encoding across the instruction-tuning boundary: in the base model the fingerprint is direction-coded (separation 0.034, p=0.002 under angular k-NN); in the multimodal instruction-tuned model it migrates into the magnitude (angular separation collapses to p=0.439 while Euclidean survives at p=0.042, and the mean norm of the first generated state inverts its length-ordering, being lowest for the identity prompt). This direction-to-magnitude reorganization is specific to the multimodal instruction-tuning regime, absent under RL distillation and SFT. A teacher-forced control attributes ~30% of the free-running cosine signal to prompt-driven effects. We position W_1 on edge-wise Ollivier-Ricci distributions on k-NN trajectory graphs as a methodological contribution of independent interest.

英文摘要:Inverse Reinforcement Learning recovers reward functions from expert demonstrations, but standard formulations assume that all demonstrations come from a single expert. When demonstrations are pooled from multiple experts with distinct preferences, parametric methods recover an averaged reward that fits no individual expert well. We implement Nonparametric Bayesian Inverse Reinforcement Learning with a Dirichlet Process prior over reward functions, allowing the number of latent reward types to be inferred jointly with the rewards themselves. Inference uses a collapsed Gibbs sampler combining a Chinese Restaurant Process update for cluster assignments with a Metropolis-Hastings update for reward weights, and soft value iteration as the inner planning routine. We evaluate on a 10x10 ObjectWorld grid with two and three ground-truth reward types. The serial sampler recovers K=2 with Adjusted Rand Index of 1.000, substantially outperforming a Maximum Entropy IRL baseline (ARI=0.000). Extension to K=3 shows that the sampler correctly identifies the number of clusters in all runs; assignment ARI of 0.48-0.58 reflects behavioral overlap between expert types that persists across grid instantiations, revealing that reliable K=3 evaluation on ObjectWorld requires controlled object placement rather than random seeding. We further parallelize the sampler across CPU cores using Ray on HPC hardware, achieving a peak speedup of 4.79x at 8 workers, and characterize a throughput-versus-accuracy tradeoff arising from the consensus merge heuristic used during state aggregation. Code and a containerized environment are available at https://github.com/dasashreeya/np_bayes_irl.

英文摘要:Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a dominant paradigm for enhancing LLMs' reasoning capabilities. However, RL algorithms with PPO-Clip are inherently limited by exploration collapse. Subsequent works remain primarily heuristic and fail to identify the essential cause of PPO-Clip's failure. This work reveals the fundamental flaw of PPO-Clip: it implicitly measures policy discrepancy using Euclidean metric, which is theoretically inconsistent with the intrinsic geometry on the policy Riemannian manifold. This geometric mismatch results in overly conservative updates in low-probability regions while aggressive in high-probability regions, ultimately collapsing exploration. To correct this geometric flaw, we propose Riemannian Isometric Policy Optimization (RIPO), which guarantees isometric policy updates on the Riemannian manifold, effectively balancing exploration and exploitation. We further show that RIPO achieves a favorable bias-variance trade-off, which stabilizes optimization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RIPO significantly surpasses existing LLM RL algorithms across seven competition-level benchmarks (up to 60% improvement over GRPO on AIME24).

英文摘要: Partial differential equations (PDEs) are foundational to modeling in science and engineering, but constructing reliable numerical solvers remains labor-intensive, demanding expert knowledge of discretization schemes, stability conditions, and boundary treatments. Recent work has begun to frame PDE solving as a code-generation task for large language models (LLMs), yet existing approaches operate primarily at inference time: relying on prompting, debugging, self-refinement, and test-time scaling rather than adapting the model itself. In parallel, reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards has emerged as a post-training paradigm for code and math reasoning, but its verifiers are typically binary: a compiler runs, or a test passes. Such signals discard the graded structure of scientific correctness, where two solvers may both execute and yet differ in solution accuracy by orders of magnitude. In this work, we introduce RLVP: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Physics, an RL post-training framework for multi-PDE solver code generation. RLVP addresses this verifiability gap with a hybrid verifier: hard program-validity checks ensure executability, while continuous physics rewards score function-space accuracy and PDE-residual consistency. A single policy is post-trained across diverse PDE families spanning hyperbolic, parabolic, elliptic, and incompressible-flow systems. RLVP improves over both pre-trained and supervised-only baselines on PDE benchmarks, and shows zero-shot improvement transfer to held-out PDEs. We show that a smaller LLM post-trained with RLVP can outperform prompting a frontier model on in-distribution PDE solver generation. The trained policy shows evidence of compositionality in numerical motifs: it recombines stencils, time-stepping schemes, and boundary-handling primitives learned from the PDEs used in training into generated solvers for unseen PDE problems.

英文摘要:Reinforcement learning (RL) has significantly enhanced the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), yet the training process remains notoriously fragile. In this work, we investigate a critical source of this instability: over-optimization, where models exploit training heuristics at the expense of generalizable reasoning. While reverse KL regularization is the standard defense against such degradation, our analysis reveals that it is often insufficient in this regime, as it fails to ensure comprehensive coverage of the reference distribution. To address this, we propose ARMOR (Anchor Rollout and Mixed Optimization for RL), a framework that shifts the paradigm from passive penalty to active sample stabilization. ARMOR comprises two key components: (1) Anchor Rollout, which leverages off-policy data from the reference policy to preserve established solution patterns; and (2) Mixed Optimization, which reformulates the policy objective to enable controlled exploration without relying on auxiliary losses. Extensive experiments on reasoning benchmarks validate that ARMOR effectively mitigates validation collapse, enabling sustained performance improvements over extended training horizons.

英文摘要:We study stochastic multi-armed bandits on dynamic graphs, where arms correspond to the vertices of a network with time-varying edges. In this setting, the learner is restricted to local movement, selecting only its current node or an immediate neighbor at each round. This constraint decouples best-arm identification from exploitation: even after the optimal arm is identified, the learner may remain unable to reach it through the evolving topology. We identify a process-agnostic structural condition, based on sliding-window mixing, that ensures the graph's intrinsic walk remains stable for both exploration and navigation. Under this regime, we analyze a family of local explore-then-commit algorithms and establish sublinear expected regret. Our framework includes a reward-aware strategy, for which we prove a worst-case safety theorem and a separate performance gain theorem.

英文摘要:We study the problem of optimal continual fine-tuning for a pre-trained Foundation Model deployed at a resource-limited device. At each time slot, a new batch of training data arrives, and the controller is faced with two options: either use the data to fine-tune the model and incur a compute cost, or do not fine-tune the model and discard the data. After the decision, the performance of the current model is measured in terms of an application-specific performance metric such as classification accuracy. Our objective is to learn an optimal policy that determines \emph{when to fine-tune the model} on a single task (e.g., sentiment analysis), under a finite compute budget. We formulate this online decision-making problem as a constrained Markov Decision Process, where the system state captures three essential aspects: (\textit{i}) model's performance, (\textit{ii}) computational budget, and (\textit{iii}) data distribution relevance to historic data encountered up to that point. The transition to the next state is stochastic and therefore, we propose a reinforcement learning-based method to solve this problem, namely the \emph{actor-critic} algorithm. We also consider the special case where the performance of fine-tuning for a given model can be predicted or estimated prior to decision; in this case the problem becomes a Dynamic Programming one. Experiments with a large pre-trained model on a widely-used text classification dataset demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms fine-tuning approaches with the same compute budget by more than $4\%$ in terms of accuracy and achieves $97\%$ of full-parameter fine-tuning accuracy while requiring only $25\%$ of the fine-tuning steps.

英文摘要:Recent advances in equipping Large Language Models (LLMs) with search tools and outcome-reward reinforcement learning (RL) have achieved new state-of-the-art results on open-domain QA tasks. However, we argue that current training paradigms harbor a critical vulnerability: they predominantly reward correct answers but fail to penalize fabricated ones when retrieval fails, thereby implicitly exacerbating hallucinations. To address this, we propose Abstention-Aware Reinforcement Learning (AWA-RL), which dynamically shapes the abstention reward utilizing the model's query-specific prior capabilities and continuous on-policy training observations. We also introduce a novel metric, RA-F1, to measure the capability-reliability trade-off. Compared to non-abstaining baselines, AWA-RL boosts absolute precision by up to 10.3% and overall RA-F1 by 2.9%, with only marginal sacrifice in raw accuracy. These results confirm that AWA-RL successfully yields highly capable and reliable search agents. The code, data, and model weights are publicly available at https://github.com/zfj1998/AWA-RL.

英文摘要:Computed Tomography (CT) diagnosis often relies on dynamic selection of imaging phases, such as non-contrast, arterial, or venous phases, based on preliminary findings, clinical suspicion, and diagnostic guidelines. This phase-wise decision process is critical for reducing unnecessary radiation exposure while supporting timely staging and treatment planning. However, phase-selection protocols can vary across hospitals, regions, and guidelines, while most existing CT-based AI methods assume that all phases are available and focus on static tasks under a fixed imaging phase, failing to model whether additional phases are required. This limitation stems from heterogeneous multi-phase representations, the need for knowledge-guided phase control beyond visual cues, and the lack of supervision for phase-sufficiency decisions in existing datasets. To address these challenges, we propose Policy-Driven CT-Agent (PD-CTAgent) for clinically consistent CT phase selection and diagnostic reasoning. PD-CTAgent introduces a Clinical Structure Abstraction Module (CSAM) to harmonize heterogeneous CT phases into a unified, phase-aware evidence representation. Based on this representation, a Knowledge-Guided Diagnostic Control Model (KDCM) evaluates phase sufficiency and iteratively requests additional phases when necessary. The policy-driven agent design further allows PD-CTAgent to flexibly follow different institutional, regional, or guideline-specific diagnostic protocols. Together, PD-CTAgent bridges static CT analysis and real-world clinical workflows. Experiments on two public datasets, LIDC and MCT-LTDiag, and one private dataset demonstrate its effectiveness and clinical consistency. Code will be made public upon acceptance.

英文摘要:Reinforcement learning for large language models (LLMs) typically relies on trust-region masks to stabilize off-policy updates. The dominant PPO-style approach uses the sampled-token importance ratio for two criteria: a proximity criterion, which asks whether the policy has moved too far from the behavior policy, and a direction criterion, which asks whether the update pushes it farther away. Recent work DPPO improves the proximity criterion by replacing PPO's ratio-based test with a probability divergence between the behavior and training policies. However, its direction criterion is still inherited from PPO. A token can be masked only when the sampled-token importance ratio moves away from one. We observe that this ratio-based direction criterion is a single-sample proxy that can disagree in sign with the change of the divergence that defines the proximity criterion. We therefore propose the predictive divergence mask, which asks whether the next policy-gradient step will increase or decrease the same divergence used by the trust region. For the discrete softmax policies used in LLM RL, we derive this prediction in closed form. Because production rollout engines expose only a truncated (top-K) view of the vocabulary, we develop two lightweight top-$K$ estimators for this prediction. Detailed analysis shows the divergence-based direction is better aligned with the realized change of the divergence than the sampled ratio, and the resulting masks improve RL training across model scales and precision settings.

英文摘要: Trader-facing dynamic fees are increasingly proposed for automated market makers (AMMs), but historical data do not identify how order flow would respond: trader-facing fees do not vary, trader types are latent, and a replayed tape is not a sequential decision environment. We therefore construct a minimal closed-loop simulator in which the missing signal exists by construction: two constant-product pools repriced by an equilibrium-inspired dynamic-fee rule, fee-sensitive noise flow, and closed-form CEX--AMM arbitrage. Equilibrium is used as a closure principle, not as an object the trader learns. Against a tuned benchmark ladder of schedule, planning, lookahead, and tabular policies, a small DQN is the only evaluated valid policy whose paired improvement over tuned one-step routing excludes zero. On a reserved final block of 1{,}000 seeds with completion forced to 1.0 for every policy, it reduces implementation shortfall under every tested intra-step ordering, by $13.3\bps$ of order notional under the pre-specified agent-last ordering, and the edge is concentrated in, and learned from, dynamic-fee environments: under constant fees the paired difference is indistinguishable from zero. The result is model-conditioned counterfactual evidence about execution control in AMMs, not evidence about historical traders, equilibrium play, or deployable profit.

英文摘要:In this work, we study the reinforcement learning (RL) problem from pairwise trajectory comparisons provided by a human expert. We generalize preference-based RL by formalizing a novel setting in which the expert can also label trajectory pairs as incomparable, i.e., when neither trajectory dominates the other. We introduce the learning problem and the desiderata that its solution should satisfy. Then, we propose a novel Bradley-Terry-inspired rationality model that effectively captures incomparabilities and infers a multi-dimensional reward function, and we study its properties. We provide a sample complexity analysis for learning the model parameters when a dataset is available. Finally, we evaluate our model's ability to reconstruct a reward function that aligns with the expert's comparisons in simulated environments and to recover the Pareto frontier of policies, along with a robustness analysis across varying levels of expert rationality.

英文摘要:Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) optimizes LLMs using sparse verifiable final-answer rewards. This sparse anchor reliably verifies whether a trajectory succeeds but provides no direct feedback on the reasoning path that produced it. Before success, prerequisite progress on hard problems receives no reward signal; after success, outcome rewards cannot distinguish well-organized correct trajectories from redundant or locally flawed ones. We introduce SCOPE-RL (Scaffolded Chain Optimization with Process Efficiency), a two-stage framework that densifies this anchor while retaining the GRPO update: Adaptive Scaffolded RL adds prefix-decomposed verifiable rewards on answer-hidden sub-question chains before success, and Quality-Aware Process RL applies correctness-gated process-shape rewards to refine correct trajectories after success. An expert-validated Step-Quality Evaluation Protocol evaluates useful-step density, error localization, and token efficiency beyond final-answer accuracy. On Qwen3-8B-Instruct trained on DAPO-Math and Big-Math, SCOPE-RL improves average accuracy by up to 11.2 pp and reduces reasoning tokens by up to 27.1% over outcome-only GRPO; the gains hold under GSPO and on Qwen3-0.6B-Instruct, indicating that reward-signal densification is complementary to policy-update-level RLVR advances.

英文摘要:Background: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) enables effective policies to be trained from large, previously collected datasets and subsequently improved through limited online interaction. This offline-to-online RL (O2O-RL) paradigm is particularly promising in nonstationary domains where interaction is costly or potentially hazardous. Standard O2O-RL pipelines train multiple candidate policies offline, evaluate them using off-policy or online evaluation, and then deploy and fine-tune the policy with the highest estimated value. However, as in offline pretraining, fine-tuning performance is highly sensitive to the choice of algorithm and hyperparameters, making it risky to commit to a single policy. Objectives: We study active policy selection for fine-tuning under a limited interaction budget in O2O-RL settings. To our knowledge, this is the first work to address this problem. Methods: We formulate the problem by identifying a fundamental trade-off between allocating online interactions to policy evaluation, which helps identify high-performing policies, and allocating them to fine-tuning, which improves policy performance. We then propose an approach that balances this trade-off by actively selecting policies for fine-tuning based on upper-confidence bounds on their future performance. These bounds are derived from locally linear performance forecasts fitted to observations obtained through online evaluation. Results: Across a diverse range of experiments, the proposed approach consistently outperforms existing O2O-RL baselines. Conclusions: Actively selecting and fine-tuning policies uses limited online interaction budgets more effectively than either committing to a single policy or dividing the budget equally among all policies. Our framework also advances offline RL toward practical deployment in real-world systems where online interaction is costly or risky.

英文摘要:Prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction moves most building work into module factories, whose production floor operates as a flexible job shop. A major complication is decisive: long post-operation time-lags caused by concrete curing, watertightness ponding tests, and paint drying, during which a module is blocked while its workstation stays free. On benchmark instances grounded in an official national prefabrication guidebook, these lags inflate even the optimal reference makespan by about 67% on average, and ignoring them at decision time, then repairing to feasibility, is worse than every dispatching rule. We adapt a state-of-the-art dual-attention deep reinforcement learning solver through three minimally invasive, individually ablatable extensions: lag-aware dynamics with an admissible reward bound, two anticipatory lag feature channels, and liveness-masked operation- and station-type embeddings. With every extension disabled the implementation reproduces the original solver exactly, so all gains are attributable to the adaptations. We release a public, guidebook-grounded benchmark generator. On held-out instances the learned policy is the strongest solver-free scheduler: it reaches within about 4% of a constraint-programming reference and beats every dispatching rule and a genetic-algorithm metaheuristic, with its advantage widening under capacity contention, and a single size-mixed policy carries this lead across the trained range of factory sizes. It needs no solver, model, or license in the loop and re-plans within seconds of a disruption; where an exact solver can be deployed, that solver remains the quality ceiling, a boundary we map explicitly.

英文摘要:Neural Architecture Search (NAS) has automated the design of deep learning models but traditionally requires massive computational resources, often measured in thousands of GPU-days. In this paper, we propose a frugal and memetic NAS framework designed to democratize architecture design on consumer-grade hardware. Our approach combines the global macro-search capabilities of an autoregressive Transformer controller, trained via Reinforcement Learning (RL), with the local micro-exploitation of an Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm. To prevent premature convergence during the RL phase, we introduce a dynamic entropy mechanism that forces topological exploration upon detection of performance stagnation. Evaluated on a standard GPU (NVIDIA RTX 3060), our hybrid method effectively resolves the "cold-start" problem inherent in metaheuristics. By algorithmically penalizing network depth, our framework actively mitigates model bloat: on the CIFAR-10 dataset, it discovers an efficient architecture reaching 84.85% accuracy with only $\sim$174,000 parameters (significantly smaller than standard baselines like ResNet-20) in 3 hours of search time. Furthermore, we demonstrate the framework's flexibility by applying it to credit card fraud detection, directly optimizing the F1-Score on highly imbalanced tabular data to reach a F1-Score of 0.71 with a compact network of $\sim$4,600 parameters. These results suggest that our approach can yield tailored, accessible, and highly parameter-efficient deep learning models suitable for edge deployment.

英文摘要:While autoregressive models optimize the exact data likelihood via the chain rule, diffusion models are typically trained with denoising objectives. We develop conservation laws based on generalized extrinsic information transfer (GEXIT) functions for a broad class of memoryless noise processes, showing that the data--model cross-entropy (CE) can be characterized exactly as an integral of local information-theoretic derivatives along the noise path. This yields a unified characterization of the likelihood for discrete and continuous diffusion, with the Gaussian case reducing to the well-known mutual information--minimum mean-square error (I-MMSE) relationship. An immediate implication is a locality property: one can compute the information-theoretic derivatives using only the marginal posteriors along the noise path. As a result, training reduces to learning the marginal posteriors by minimizing the negative log-likelihood. While the conservation law implies that the entropy does not depend on the noise path, finite-capacity denoisers approximate the posteriors with varying accuracy across noise types, leading to differences in performance. We validate these predictions on synthetic Markov sources and standard benchmarks, including text8 and CIFAR-10.

英文摘要: Access to sufficiently large biomedical datasets remains a major obstacle for machine learning in Raman spectroscopy-based diagnostics. In particular, for glioma analysis, datasets are typically small and heterogeneous, affected by acquisition-specific variability. This work investigates the utility of deep generative augmentation in such a small-cohort setting. We analyze glioma biopsy spectra acquired from 58 tumor samples and consider both binary IDH-status classification and 6-class methylation subtype classification problems. To address the limited size and imbalance of the dataset, we develop a conditional variational autoencoder ($β$-CVAE) capable of generating class-conditioned synthetic Raman spectra. The generated data are evaluated in Train-on-Synthetic, Test-on-Real (TS/TR) and Train-on-Synthetic+Real, Test-on-Real (TSR/TR) settings under a strict patient-isolated cross-validation protocol. Models trained exclusively on synthetic data underperform models trained on real spectra, indicating a substantial domain gap between synthetic and real distributions. However, augmenting the real training data with synthetic spectra consistently improves classification performance across multiple models. These findings indicate that, even with a limited number of independent patient samples, generative models can capture sufficient structure to provide useful regularization for downstream classifiers. We also investigate a reconstruction-based inference strategy, termed Classification by Reconstruction (CbR), in which class prediction is based on reconstruction error under different class conditions. Overall, the results support the use of deep generative augmentation as a practical strategy for improving machine learning robustness in Raman spectroscopy applications characterized by limited biomedical datasets.

英文摘要:Activation steering offers a lightweight alternative to fine-tuning for controlling large language models at inference time. While many existing methods implicitly optimize a log-density-ratio objective between desired and undesired activation distributions, they do so heuristically rather than deriving it from a principled optimization problem. Moreover, these methods produce query-independent steering directions that can degrade performance on both in-distribution and out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs. We introduce \textsc{Cobras} (Conditional Optimal Bridge for Riemannian Activation Steering), which addresses both limitations by casting activation steering as a Schrödinger Bridge on the residual-stream hypersphere. This formulation yields, to our knowledge, the first principled derivation of the log-density-ratio steering objective from a well-posed optimization problem. Solving the bridge via entropic optimal transport and extracting the probability flow ODE recovers the widely used density-ratio gradient as a special case when the Sinkhorn potentials are uniform. Crucially, the Schrödinger potentials are evaluated at the current activation, making the resulting steering direction inherently query-adaptive. Empirically, across four models and three alignment axes (helpfulness, truthfulness, and detoxification), \textsc{Cobras} consistently outperforms prior activation steering baselines while avoiding the OOD degradation commonly observed in existing methods. The code can be found at https://github.com/arshandalili/cobras.

英文摘要:Deep generative models are increasingly used as simulators for downstream decision-making under data scarcity, but in risk-sensitive applications their usefulness depends on rare adverse scenarios rather than typical samples. Standard generative objectives prioritize bulk distributional fidelity, leaving low-probability tails vulnerable to localized optimization noise and making tail-dependent functionals unstable under finite simulation budgets. We introduce Diachronic Sample Integration (DSI), a test-time inference framework that ensembles generated samples across checkpoints from a stochastic training trajectory. DSI targets a checkpoint-mixture distribution that averages checkpoint-specific tail fluctuations rather than relying on a single brittle endpoint. We formalize this mechanism through a finite-budget bias-variance theory. Empirically, across multivariate synthetic processes and high-frequency trading data, DSI substantially reduces tail-estimation error compared to single-checkpoint baselines under fixed simulation budgets, outperforming standard diffusion and state-of-the-art tail-aware baselines without modifying the generative objective.

英文摘要:We study the population gradient flow of an infinitely wide two-layer neural network learning a misspecified single-index model in high dimension. The two layers are optimized jointly, with a perturbative parameter tuning the relative training speed between the first and second layer. This setting was considered by Berthier, Montanari and Zhou in \cite{berthier2024learning}, who conjectured a hierarchical learning scenario with explicit timescales as the second layer is trained faster than the first. In this paper, we prove that the constant and linear components of the hidden link function are indeed recovered within the predicted timescales, at sharp explicit thresholds. We then analyze the onset of learning of the quadratic component and show that the components learned at earlier stages continue to influence the dynamics in an essential way. Our proof is based on quantitative approximation results for singularly perturbed flows evolving near a manifold defined by integral constraints. At a phenomenological level, we also show that the empirical measure of the weights displays singular behaviour when reaching the quadratic component of the hidden link, with a small fraction of neurons growing significantly while the remaining ones rearrange to preserve the components already learned.

英文摘要:Generative models often represent signals as dense grids of amplitudes, blurring sharp transients that are crucial for the correctness of physical signals. We introduce Singularity Space, a generative framework that represents signals through complex-plane singularities, rooted in the classical pole-residue representation of meromorphic functions. We learn a latent space of physically constrained, per-signal singularity configurations to solve an inverse problem from degraded or partial observations. The framework has three key properties: interpretability, in which each generated singularity configuration corresponds to a set of physical parameters; structural stability, which mitigates Gibbs artifacts at discontinuities; and resolution-free output reconstruction on arbitrary grids without retraining or interpolation. Our framework employs a transformer-based diffusion model that directly predicts samples at complex-plane singularity coordinates, subject to geometric constraints during sampling. As a controlled test case for sharp-feature recovery, we evaluate our framework on 1D Burgers shocks, where each shock is represented by 32 predicted singularities (an $8\times$ reduction versus a 1024-point grid signal). Our framework preserves signal structure ($\text{TV ratio} \approx 1$) under unseen test-time observation noise, achieves a $4.2\times$ lower reconstruction error in zero-shot sub-resolution generalization than a grid-based baseline, and recovers physical parameters to $10^{-4}$ absolute error in-distribution. These results suggest that singularity-based representations may provide a practical foundation for other transient-dominated signals such as speech and biomedical signals, with potential extension to higher-dimensional domains.

英文摘要:We introduce Sticky Jump Diffusions (SJDs), continuous-time Markov processes on $\mathbb R^d$ whose discrete anchors are token embeddings. In forward time, anchors release their mass at a hazard rate and the released mass diffuses in the continuous ambient space; time reversal couples a score-driven SDE with a sticky jump kernel whose rate and destination are fixed by flux balance with the forward law. We estimate the score and the per-anchor reverse hazards from a single denoising classifier via Denoising Hazard Matching, the hazard analogue of denoising score matching, with simulation-free cross-entropy training. SJD recovers masked diffusion, continuous diffusion, and hybrid diffusion as limits. Its reversal explains features that each family treats as given: the mask of masked diffusion carries no evidence about the source token because the unsticking kernel of every anchor collapses to the same absorbing point; the terminal projection of continuous diffusion is required due to the absence of atoms in its forward marginal, without which flux balance yields no reverse jumps; and the update rules of hybrid diffusion (commit rate, destination, and drift) all follow from flux balance rather than from separate design. Beyond these limits, the unsticking kernel becomes a design space: a cross-position blending corrupts each position toward a blend of its neighbors' clean values or embeddings, turning dependency structure such as spatial locality or a constraint graph into an inductive bias of the corruption itself, and improves over the identity-kernel hybrid on CIFAR-10, Text8, and Sudoku.

英文摘要:Discovering the memory or nonlocal kernel governing an integro-differential equation (IDE) from sparse and noisy observations is an ill-posed inverse problem. Existing identification methods often rely on problem-specific analytical derivations, specialized observation requirements, or restrictive assumptions about the kernel, limiting their applicability across different classes of IDEs. In this work, we propose a differentiable-solver-based framework for discovering memory and nonlocal kernels directly from spatiotemporal observations. Within the solver, the unknown kernel is represented using a constrained Kolmogorov--Arnold Network (KAN) parameterization, with the physical constraints imposed through two different approaches: a Bernstein-polynomial-based Monotone--Convex KAN (MC-KAN), whose coefficient constraints enforce positivity, monotonic decrease, and convexity by construction, and a Chebyshev-based KAN (Cheb-KAN), in which the same properties are encouraged through soft penalty terms. After training, symbolic regression is applied to the learned kernels to obtain interpretable closed-form representations. We evaluate both methods on benchmarks spanning a one-dimensional Volterra equation, a one-dimensional viscoelastic wave partial integro-differential equation, and a two-dimensional nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation with an anisotropic coupled kernel. For the 1D problems, both methods recover the correct kernel functional form and achieve comparable solution-reconstruction accuracy. In contrast, for the sparse and noisy 2D nonlocal problem, the hard-constrained MC-KAN consistently achieves lower kernel reconstruction errors than the soft-constrained Cheb-KAN. Our results demonstrate that enforcing physically motivated shape constraints by construction provides greater robustness than soft penalties for multidimensional kernel discovery from sparse and noisy observations.

英文摘要:Generating immersive, synchronized and cinematic audio for long-form textual narratives remains a significant challenge in multi-modal AI. While current Text-to-Audio (TTA) frameworks successfully synthesize isolated sound effects, they struggle with narrative cohesion, temporal alignment, and cinematic emotional depth. We present BackgroundMellow, a framework that treats story-to-audio generation as a precise orchestration and signal processing problem. This framework is enabled without ground-truth through a master-specialist agent architecture that decomposes text into precise and multi-layered audio cues, generates each category of sounds with suitable specialist model, and superimposes the soundscapes to create a unified and aligned audio segment. Our pipeline is built over Tango2 latent diffusion model for environmental synthesis alongside a novel Cinematic BGM Retriever mined from professional soundtracks. To automate the sound mixing process, we use an NLP based module that predicts precise audio parameters, like start time, duration, and relative loudness, based on the narrative timeline. We further empirically evaluate and show the efficacy of the proposed framework leveraging nearest-neighbor retrieval against a curated dataset of YouTube cinematic trailers to measure temporal synchronization, coverage, and spectral richness.

英文摘要:TR 38.901-based channel models such as Sionna are reliable, but generating many multi-user channel realizations remains expensive. This paper asks a practical question: can a trained generative model produce multi-user TR 38.901 channels faster than Sionna without losing the spatial correlations imposed by user geometry? To answer this question, we propose a physics-aware, geometry-conditioned SetGAN trained on Sionna reference data. The method separates large-scale received power from normalized small-scale fading, compresses the latter with principal component analysis, and learns the conditional channel distribution in a latent space while preserving geometry-dependent correlations. On the UMa/NLoS benchmark, the model keeps the received-power distributions close to the reference, with about 0.41 dB Wasserstein distance, and reproduces spatial-consistency profiles with mean deviations below 0.03 on median curves versus distance. In addition, it reduces elapsed generation time by a factor of 3.45 and CPU-total cost by a factor of 6.15 relative to Sionna under matched user positions in the fixed-position CPU-vs-CPU benchmark. These results show that a trained generative model can substantially accelerate TR 38.901 channel generation without breaking the spatial consistency needed to evaluate multi-user systems.

英文摘要:Flow matching trains a neural network to regress the conditional velocity along a linear interpolant between noise and data, and the number of network evaluations~(NFE) sets the cost of sampling. The straight-line interpolant carries an implicit choice: the sample moves at constant speed throughout the trajectory. We relax this choice and introduce Velocity Scheduled Flow Matching~(VSFM), which replaces the conditional target $x_1 - x_0$ with $v(t)(x_1 - x_0)$ for any nonnegative profile $v:[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$ satisfying $\int_0^1 v\,dt = 1$. We study six polynomial profiles drawn from motion planning. The first use of VSFM is at inference time: a pretrained linear flow-matching model can be sampled under any admissible profile by integrating its ODE on a non-uniform $τ$-schedule, with no retraining and no additional computation; on CIFAR-10 this lowers FID by up to $19.8\%$. Training from scratch under a braking profile gives a further reduction of $17.4\%$ at $4$~NFE. Both gains follow from the local truncation error of the Euler integrator on the induced grid.

英文摘要: Active flow control involves nonlinear dynamics, partial observations, and computationally expensive simulations, making controller design particularly challenging. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has emerged as a powerful framework for such problems, but its success typically relies on large numbers of simulator interactions and produces neural-network policies whose decision process often remains difficult to interpret. In this work, we investigate a different paradigm: instead of optimizing neural-network parameters, we use modern coding agents to search directly for explicit executable feedback laws. We introduce a constrained heuristic-learning protocol in which an agent iteratively proposes, evaluates, and revises controller implementations while interacting exclusively through the public benchmark interface. The proposed framework is evaluated on 13 active flow-control benchmarks spanning one, two, and three-dimensional problems and compared against the strongest available DRL baselines under identical simulation budgets. The discovered heuristic controllers match or outperform the best DRL policy in 10 of the 13 environments while remaining compact, interpretable, and directly inspectable. Beyond aggregate performance, the resulting controllers reveal physically meaningful feedback mechanisms, transfer successfully across more challenging configurations, and remain competitive under varying Reynolds and Rayleigh numbers, actuator counts, and observation sparsity. These results suggest that heuristic learning through coding agents constitutes a credible and complementary alternative to conventional reinforcement learning, combining competitive performance with physically interpretable controller representations.

英文摘要:Deep learning for EEG-based seizure detection faces critical challenges: severe annotation scarcity and extreme class imbalance, where ictal events comprise less than 10\% of clinical recordings. We present DiffEEG, a 9.6M-parameter self-supervised foundation model that addresses both limitations through denoising diffusion pre-training and reinforcement learning (RL)-based fine-tuning. Pre-trained on 1.3M unlabeled segments from the Temple University Hospital Seizure Corpus (TUHSZ), DiffEEG learns generic neural representations via a 1D U-Net with multi-head self-attention. For downstream adaptation, a reinforced decision layer employs policy gradient optimization to directly maximize F1-score, prioritizing sensitivity to rare seizure events over overall accuracy. Under strict patient-wise evaluation (279 patients, Leave-One-Fold-Out), DiffEEG achieves 61\% accuracy and 59\% F1 for 4-class seizure subtyping, and 81\% accuracy with 85\% weighted F1 for binary detection, maintaining clinically viable seizure recall (59\%) despite extreme imbalance (6.7\% prevalence). Segment-level evaluation establishes an upper bound of 97.6\% accuracy, confirming strong architectural capacity. DiffEEG demonstrates that diffusion-based pre-training combined with metric-aware reinforcement learning enables clinically deployable seizure monitoring with minimal labeled data requirements.

英文摘要:Discrete diffusion models offer a powerful framework for solving complex reasoning tasks, particularly through compositional generation, which combines multiple pre-trained experts to generalize beyond their individual training data. Recent theoretical corrections introduce time-dependent mixing weights to better align composed diffusion dynamics with the intended target. However, these methods are fundamentally limited by working on a per-sample basis, treating each generated state monolithically and ignoring the potential spatial or functional specializations of different experts. In this work, we address this limitation by proposing FactorDiff - a factor-wise composition framework for diffusion models. We posit that samples can be further decomposed into smaller factors, and propose a sampling process that dynamically routes each factor to the most relevant expert. We instantiate this framework with spatial/pixel-level compositions and validate it on the ARC-AGI benchmark, demonstrating that simple factor-specific routing consistently outperforms complex global scalar weighting schemes on tasks that require logical consistency and spatial disentanglement.

英文摘要:Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) methods such as Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODEs), Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), and Universal Differential Equations (UDEs) are most effective when structural priors reflect reliable governing dynamics. We ask what happens when this assumption is violated. Using macroeconomic forecasting as a stress-test domain, we evaluate five model families, ARIMA, LSTM, NODE, PINN, and UDE, across 23 countries using sparse annual data, multiple temporal splits, and five random seeds. Our results show that none of the evaluated models achieve consistently strong forecasting performance, highlighting the difficulty of low-frequency macroeconomic prediction. However, a clear relative hierarchy emerges: less-constrained models, particularly ARIMA and NODE, consistently outperform more-constrained heuristic-prior models such as PINN and UDE. Rather than treating this as a rejection of SciML, we interpret it as a diagnostic result: structural priors can act as misregularizers when they do not match the data-generating process. We identify failure modes including prior misalignment, regime shifts, structural breaks, and optimization instability, and argue that SciML practitioners should test whether structure helps before assuming that more structure is beneficial.

英文摘要:Low autocorrelation binary sequences problem (LABS) is a hard combinatorial optimization challenge with important applications in communications, signal processing, and satellite navigation. This paper proposes a hybrid search framework that combines Thompson sampling with parallel self-avoiding walks to adaptively allocate computational effort across restriction classes of the LABS search space. By modeling partitions as arms in a multi-armed bandit setting, the proposed method dynamically shifts search resources toward partitions that empirically produce higher merit factors while maintaining exploration of less-sampled regions. The approach is further accelerated through GPU-parallel execution, shared posterior updates, efficient neighborhood evaluation, and a Bloom filter for cycle prevention. In addition, we use a two-stage optimization strategy that first searches constrained partitioned skew-symmetric spaces and then refines the best candidates in the unrestricted space. Experiments on long binary sequences show that the proposed method improves the previously best-known results for 35 sequence lengths in the range $450 \le L \le 527$ and for $L=573$. In particular, we report a new longest sequence with merit factor exceeding $8.0$, obtained for $L=451$. The results also show that Thompson sampling effectively prioritizes partitions with better observed performance, confirming the value of online, data-driven resource allocation in LABS optimization. Overall, the proposed framework provides a scalable and effective strategy for high-performance merit factor maximization.

英文摘要:Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has become an important method for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences because it removes the need for explicit reward modeling and reinforcement learning optimization. However, its performance depends heavily on the quality of preference data, and noisy preference data in real-world settings can weaken alignment performance. To address this issue, we propose a bilevel optimization framework and prove, under certain assumptions, that this framework can recover the DPO optimum under clean data. We further derive a prior form for the learnable weighting function under asymmetric label-flipping noise. Considering that high-quality metadata may be difficult to obtain, we propose a task-agnostic meta-knowledge-driven method that enables meta-learning even when metadata is completely unavailable. To reduce the high cost of higher-order gradients in LLM meta-learning, we combine central-difference approximation with LoRA fine-tuning and develop a scalable training scheme. Experiments on TL;DR summarization and Anthropic HH single-turn dialogue show that the proposed method improves training performance over multiple DPO baselines under different noise rates.

英文摘要:Class imbalance poses a fundamental challenge in risk-sensitive applications such as fraud detection and medical diagnosis, where minority-class samples are scarce yet critical for accurate classification. Existing oversampling methods generate synthetic samples to rebalance class distributions; however, they often produce large numbers of low-quality candidates that distort decision boundaries or introduce artifacts, leading to overfitting and degraded generalization. In this work, we introduce RUBRIC, a generator-agnostic filtering framework that formulates synthetic sample selection as a quality-over-quantity optimization problem. RUBRIC ranks candidates using a realism-utility trade-off: realism is quantified by a learned discriminator that distinguishes real samples from synthetic samples, while utility captures proximity to the decision boundary through a concave margin-based scoring function. We show that, under mild regularity conditions, the proposed filtering strategy monotonically tightens the generalization bound for margin-based classifiers by jointly reducing distribution shift and suppressing near-negative tail contributions. Through extensive experiments on credit-card fraud detection and other imbalanced benchmarks, we demonstrate that RUBRIC improves F1-macro and recall while maintaining comparable ROC-AUC across several generators. We also provide explicit lambda-sensitivity analysis to show how users can recover AUPRC when ranking quality is prioritized.

英文摘要: We propose a framework for the Markov chain (MC) choice model with panel data, including parameter estimation, personalized choice prediction, and personalized assortment optimization. In contrast to the traditional setting, which assumes that each transaction is independently drawn from a random utility model, our framework accounts for dependencies among transactions for the same customer in historical data, captured by partial-ordering preference information. To the best of our knowledge, our framework initiates the study of choice modeling with panel data under MC. As our primary result, we propose novel expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms for MC parameter estimation by incorporating partial-ordering-based customer preference information. On synthetic datasets and the sushi dataset, our EM algorithms outperform the traditional EM algorithm of Simsek and Topaloglu (Operations Research, 66, 2018) and multinomial-logit-based partial-order benchmarks adapted from Jagabathula and Vulcano (Management Science, 64, 2018). As our secondary contribution, we present hardness and computational results for conditional choice prediction and assortment optimization problems. These results complement our estimation framework and clarify the computational landscape of conditional choice and assortment optimization, which may be of independent interest.

英文摘要:Predict-then-optimize systems usually compress uncertainty into a point forecast and then solve a downstream optimization problem as if the forecast were reliable. Distributionally robust optimization (DRO) offers protection against misspecification, but the ambiguity set is often centered at historical samples and uses a fixed radius. We propose \emph{learned predictive ambiguity sets} (LPAS): a deep contextual model outputs a finite nominal scenario distribution, a state-dependent Wasserstein radius, and optionally an anisotropic ground metric. These outputs define a contextual ambiguity set that feeds a DRO decision layer. The radius is trained by a combination of conditional quantile calibration, size regularization, and downstream decision loss, so that robustness is adaptive rather than globally fixed. We derive the finite dual form used by the decision layer, present a staged training algorithm, and evaluate the method on distributionally robust portfolio optimization with 20 S&P 500 constituents from 2018--2026. The proposed method substantially improves over equal-weight, predict-then-optimize, and historical Wasserstein DRO baselines, achieving 26.28% annualized return, Sharpe ratio 1.30, final wealth 1.61, and lower tail loss than a deep fixed-radius DRO baseline while using a smaller average radius. The results show that learned ambiguity radii can recover most of the performance of strong fixed-radius DRO while reducing unnecessary conservatism and improving regime adaptivity.

英文摘要:Pricing food products to balance profitability with consumer welfare is a central challenge for retailers. Dynamic pricing is widely used to maximize revenue, yet most pricing models optimize business objectives while overlooking consumer fairness. This paper studies the risk of consumer exploitation under dynamic food pricing in Canada and proposes a methodology that embeds fairness constraints directly into retail sales forecasting. We model total retail trade sales with a log--log Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) specification, in which the coefficient on a product price is a sales elasticity, and pose the pricing problem as maximizing forecast sales subject to price bounds anchored to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). We solve this problem with both Linear Programming (LP) and Simulated Annealing (SA), under single-product and multi-product configurations. A key finding is that the fitted nominal elasticities are positive. As a result, an unconstrained sales-maximizer would push every price to its upper bound, and the CPI ceiling is the safeguard that prevents this. Simulated Annealing instead settles on conservative, interior prices that lower consumer cost while still meeting the sales target. We benchmark forecast accuracy against naive, seasonal-naive, ARIMA, and SARIMA baselines, and a CPI-deflated re-specification shows that the positive nominal elasticities are largely an inflation-driven artifact. The result is a transparent, fairness-aware pricing framework.

英文摘要:Many neural networks operations have a multiplicative nature rather than additive: halving or doubling a norm are analogous relatively but require unequal optimization distances when taking linear steps. Adaptive optimizers such as Adam normalize updates per coordinate, but update steps remain additive; weights with very different magnitudes receive similarly sized absolute changes, producing very different relative perturbations. We introduce \textbf{\method} (\textbf{\methodshort}), a weight reparameterization for neural networks that combines a sign-aware symmetric-exponential pathway with an identity-like linear pathway. The symmetric-exponential pathway is near-linear for small raw weights but increasingly curved at larger magnitudes. Additive updates in logarithmic space map to magnitude-proportional changes in effective weight space. The linear pathway provides a direct route through the transform that we hypothesize stabilizes optimization, while learnable scale, curvature, and offset parameters control balance between pathways and the curvature of the exponential pathway. These components create a curved parameter-space geometry that empirically improves speed of loss descent over standard linear parameterization. We also identify a useful \emph{mismatched initialization}: raw weights are chosen so a symmetric version of the transform matches Xavier statistics, but training uses an asymmetric forward transform that leaves positive weights at full strength while making negative weights smaller in magnitude; in small-model ablations, this improves early optimization and may act as a form of symmetry breaking. We train transformers on OpenWebText over nine width$\times$depth configurations, \methodshort reaches matched validation loss in 1.32--1.49$\times$ fewer training steps, with the largest widths seeing the biggest gains.

Varying the spurious ratio $r$ (the fraction of training examples where shortcut = true label) and model capacity, we find a counterintuitive result: data imbalance promotes generalization in sufficiently capable models. On a synthetic task where the true label is sum parity of an integer sequence and the shortcut is the parity of the maximum-valued element, a 2-layer, 2-head transformer generalized (reached $100\%$ adversarial accuracy) in 0% of seeds at $r{=}0.50$ but 77% of seeds at $r{=}0.90$. The effect is absent in 1-layer models, where imbalance instead traps the model on the shortcut. Through mechanistic analysis -- gradient conflict dynamics, circuit evolution, and QK/OV circuit ablations -- we characterize a mechanistic pathway consistent with imbalance promoting generalization.

英文摘要:Customer churn is a major challenge for telecommunication companies, directly eroding revenue and long term customer relationships. Traditional retention programs rely on generic, not personalized incentives and lack the precision to identify high risk customers before they leave. This paper presents a data driven marketing optimization framework integrating machine learning based churn prediction, customer segmentation combining churn risk with customer value, and tailored, segment specific marketing and Return on Investment ROI strategies. Using the IBM Telco Customer Churn dataset with 7043 customers and 21 features, three gradient boosting ensembles, XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost, were trained and tuned via randomized search with stratified 5 fold cross validation, class weighting, and F1 score driven decision threshold optimization to counter a class imbalance of 73.4% versus 26.6%. CatBoost was selected as the deployment model, achieving 77.68% accuracy, an F1 score of 0.6366, a PR AUC of 0.6553, and a ROC AUC of 0.8403 on the held out test set. Customers were partitioned with K Means clustering, validated via the Elbow method and visualized with Principal Component Analysis, into High, Medium, and Low Value segments, cross tabulated against churn risk labels to define four actionable clusters. Segment specific retention, upsell, and engagement strategies were designed for each cluster, and a theoretical ROI and CLV framework quantifies the financial impact of the proposed interventions. The pipeline was operationalized in an interactive Streamlit web application allowing marketing teams to upload data, filter by segment, visualize churn drivers via SHAP, and download automated segment reports. Results confirm that combining predictive churn modeling with value aware segmentation yields more actionable and profitable marketing decisions than churn prediction alone.

英文摘要:Bilevel optimization underpins many machine learning applications, including hyperparameter optimization, meta-learning, neural architecture search, and reinforcement learning. While hypergradient-based methods have advanced significantly, a gap persists between theoretical guarantees and practical single-loop implementations required for efficiency. We bridge this gap by establishing sharper convergence results for single-loop approximate implicit differentiation (AID) and iterative differentiation (ITD) methods, leveraging our proposed analytical framework, decoupled norm analysis (DNA). For AID, we improve the convergence rate from $\mathcal{O}(κ^6/K)$ to $\mathcal{O}(κ^5/K)$, where $κ$ is the condition number of the inner-level problem. For ITD, we prove that the asymptotic error is $\mathcal{O}(κ^2)$, exactly matching the known lower bound and improving upon the previous $\mathcal{O}(κ^3)$ guarantee. Numerical experiments on synthetic and real tasks corroborate our theoretical findings.

英文摘要: Many geometric statistics and manifold learning pipelines routinely produce observations -- such as tangent vectors or local frames -- whose natural home is a varying family of fibers attached to different points of a base manifold, rather than a single shared vector space. Forming empirical averages requires transporting these observations to a common reference fiber, thereby introducing curvature- and holonomy-driven effects that are absent from classical concentration theory. We develop a non-asymptotic concentration theory for such transported empirical means, deriving finite-sample, dimension-free Hoeffding- and Bernstein-type bounds via sharp Hilbert-space inequalities. When shortest paths to the reference point are non-unique, transport becomes path-dependent and introduces a deterministic holonomy bias; we isolate and quantify this bias through bundle curvature and loop geometry, with sharp closed-form formulas for the tangent bundle of a round sphere. The resulting bias-variance decomposition separates the stochastic fluctuation decaying at the classical $n^{-1/2}$ rate in sample size $n$, from a curvature-driven error floor that no amount of additional data can eliminate; minimax lower bounds confirm both terms are unavoidable. We further establish a robust median-of-means estimator achieving optimal rates under heavy tails and the central limit theorem in the reference fiber. Controlled experiments on the sphere validate all theoretical predictions.

英文摘要:Training with quantized weights can reduce costs but often results in degraded accuracy, especially when optimization is carried out in low precision, without storing high-precision copies. We identify a key failure mode: under low precision, standard optimizers can get stuck and not make progress, especially at large weight magnitudes due to coarse mantissa resolution. To overcome this, multiplicative updates have been previously proposed, in place of additive updates in standard optimizers. While successful under extremely low precision, such as under the logarithmic number system, they suffer from failures near zero and across sign changes. The failure modes of additive and multiplicative updates are therefore complementary. To exploit this, we propose M+Adam, which combines both update types: additive steps handle sign changes and small magnitudes, while multiplicative steps ensure progress at large magnitudes when additive updates are zeroed out under rounding. We prove monotone descent for M+Adam under standard smoothness assumptions. Across LLaMA-style pretraining with 60M-1B models, 1x-8x Chinchilla budgets, and using only BF16, FP8, and FP4 master weights, M+Adam consistently improves low-precision training.

英文摘要:Bayesian optimization is increasingly used to guide data-efficient experimentation in chemistry, materials science, and related laboratory settings, but its practical performance depends strongly on how well surrogate-model assumptions match the geometry and noise structure of the underlying objective. We introduce tidyHEBO, a robust Bayesian optimization model inspired by heteroskedastic evolutionary Bayesian optimization (HEBO) for single-objective, sequential optimization. tidyHEBO reconstructs the HEBO design philosophy in BoTorch and revises surrogate training, output-warping selection, acquisition function evaluation, and Pareto-front search. We benchmarked tidyHEBO on synthetic functions, Olympus emulators, fully experimental reaction-optimization datasets, needle-in-a-haystack (NIAH) materials problems, and Bayesmark hyperparameter optimization tasks. On these tasks tidyHEBO achieved competitive to superior performance and improvement in robustness across repeated optimization runs. We therefore propose tidyHEBO as a practical tool for sequential experimentations and a strong general-purpose benchmark for future Bayesian optimization research.

英文摘要:In pre-LayerNorm looped transformers, LayerNorm inside the recurrent block acts as an implicit gain controller: by coupling the block's local Lipschitz constant inversely to the activation scale, it renders the recurrence Jacobian non-normal -- asymptotically contractive at every verified fixed point even where its operator norm exceeds 1 -- so the true stability budget is the spectral margin, not an operator-norm bound. That margin depletes as the carry $ρ\to 1$, and a minority of initializations never converge to a fixed point at all, so the diagonal carry constraint $ρ(\bar{A}) < 1$ is necessary but not sufficient for convergence of the full recurrence. Training experiments across six tasks, including a controlled ablation, reveal that the linear carry is not the depth-memory mechanism: gradient descent routes memory through the block's more expressive nonlinear recurrence and leaves the stability-constrained carry at rest -- the carry's role is stabilization, not memory. We characterize the boundary of this claim: on tasks with axis-aligned per-channel structure, gradient descent does recruit the carry. All results are derived analytically and verified in a from-scratch, CPU-scale implementation; verification at larger scale is needed.

英文摘要: Following Alon, Hanneke, Holzman, and Moran (FOCS 2021), we define a partial concept class (PCC) as a family of partial functions \(f: V\to\{0,1,\ast\}\); equivalently, its concepts partition the ground set into black ($f^{-1}(1)$), grey ($f^{-1}(\ast)$), and white parts ($f^{-1}(0)$). Its VC dimension is defined by shattering sets on which the value $\ast$ is not taken. We study two geometric PCCs in real Banach spaces, both with a margin \(δ>0\): expanded half-spaces, where the grey part is a strip of width at least \(δ\) adjacent to a half-space, and expanded balls, where the grey part is an annulus of width \(δ\) around a unit radius ball. Our main results are dimension-free upper bounds on the VC dimension of the PCC of expanded balls in \(L_p\parenthμ\), \(1\le p

英文摘要:The problem of constrained online convex optimization is considered, where at each round, once a learner commits to an action $x_t \in \mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, a convex loss function $f_t$ and a convex constraint function $g_t$ that drives the constraint $g_t(x)\le 0$ are revealed. The objective is to simultaneously minimize the static regret and cumulative constraint violation (CCV) compared to the benchmark that knows the loss functions and constraint functions $f_t$ and $g_t$ for all $t$ ahead of time, and chooses a static optimal action that is feasible with respect to all $g_t(x)\le 0$. Currently, the best known algorithm is OGD+Projection algorithm of [Vaze and Sinha, 2025] that has simultaneous regret of $O(\sqrt{T})$ and CCV of $O(T^{1/3})$ for $d=2$ [Balasundaram et al., 2026], and simultaneous regret of $O(\sqrt{T})$ and CCV of $O(\sqrt{T})$ for any $d$ [Sarkar and Sinha, 2026]. In this paper, we show that the CCV of the OGD+Projection algorithm is $Ω(T^{\frac{d-1}{2d}})$. This is the first such lower bound result.

英文摘要:Large language models exhibit remarkable emergent behaviors, yet the physical mechanism governing their collective dynamics remains poorly understood. Cognitive Field Theory predicts that learning reorganizes the time-scale density of states (TDOS) through the infrared accumulation of slow relaxation modes, thereby enhancing the memory self-energy, reducing the cognitive forgetting gap, and strengthening the collective susceptibility. Using publicly available Pythia language models, we extract relaxation spectra directly from Transformer layer Jacobians throughout training, network depth, and model scale, allowing the TDOS, memory self-energy, forgetting gap, memory kernel, and infrared critical exponent to be measured quantitatively. The measurements reveal progressive infrared accumulation of slow relaxation modes, producing an approximately flat infrared TDOS with \( ρ(λ)\simλ^{-0.1} \) and scale-free memory kernels \( K(t)\sim t^{-1}. \) The memory self-energy exhibits a pronounced transient maximum during early optimization before relaxing toward a metastable near-critical regime, corresponding to the smallest cognitive forgetting gap and the largest collective susceptibility predicted by Cognitive Field Theory. These observations provide quantitative experimental evidence that Transformer dynamics are governed by infrared collective organization. The reproducibility of the same dynamical behavior across training, network depth, and model scales suggests that infrared slow-mode organization represents a universal collective principle of Transformer dynamics.

英文摘要:We study the bandit-feedback version of online principal component analysis (Bandit PCA): in each round $t = 1,\dots,T$, the adversary selects a $d \times d$ symmetric gain matrix $G_t$ with spectrum in $[0,1]$ and rank at most $r$; the learner simultaneously selects a unit vector $w_t \in S^{d-1}$ and receives the reward $w_t^\top G_t w_t$. The learner receives no other feedback, and aims to minimize the regret against the best unit vector in hindsight. This problem was introduced by Kotlowski and Neu (2019), who gave an algorithm with regret $O(d\sqrt{rT \log T})$ and showed the lower bound of $Ω(r\sqrt{T/\log T})$. We improve upon both of these bounds and essentially bridge the gap between them, establishing the minimax regret of order $r\sqrt{dT}$ up to polylogarithmic factors in $d$ and $T$. The upper bound is attained by a novel algorithm, which combines online mirror descent on the spectrahedron of (real) density matrices with a multiscale exploration scheme in which the eigenspaces with different spectral magnitudes are updated at different rates. For the lower bound, we construct an adaptive adversary that refines a hidden large-reward subspace based on the learner's actions, in such a way that low regret is impossible without estimating the subspace; as a result, lower-bounding the regret reduces to studying the arising subspace estimation problem. Finally, we discuss connections of Bandit PCA with adaptive-measurement quantum tomography.

英文摘要: Standard learning rate schedules such as cosine annealing are tied to a fixed training horizon, limiting their ability to accommodate post hoc horizon extension. Warmup-stable-decay (WSD) partially addresses this issue by maintaining a long constant-rate phase before a short linear cooldown, allowing training to resume from a pre-decay checkpoint. However, its peak learning rate is still tuned based on the original training horizon and can become suboptimal when training is extended. Motivated by stochastic convex optimization, we propose WSqD (Warmup with Square-root base and linear Decay), a learning rate schedule that replaces WSD's constant stable phase with a shifted inverse-square-root base while retaining the final linear cooldown. In the stochastic convex setting, WSqD provably attains the minimax-optimal $O(1/\sqrt{T})$ last-iterate convergence rate. Importantly, its base learning rate schedule is horizon-independent, and the training horizon is needed only to determine when to begin the final cooldown. Empirically, on language-model pretraining using the SlimPajama corpus, WSqD matches or outperforms carefully tuned WSD and other baselines across multiple training horizons while reusing a single peak learning rate.

英文摘要:Zero-dimensional reduced-order models (0D ROMs) are central to multi-dimensional design workflows for high-end complex equipment. However, the planning process currently relies on manual expertise, limiting topological exploration and prolonging iterations. Even traditional optimization methods such as Genetic Algorithms (GA) are typically confined to local parameter tuning. Although Large Language Model (LLM) agents have shown promise in exploring large sample spaces, and frameworks such as Chain of Thought (CoT) and Reason and Act (ReAct) improve reasoning reliability, while Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) overcomes domain knowledge barriers, a single agent still falls short for the long-horizon and highly coupled nature of complex 0D ROM planning. This paper proposes the Zero-dimensional reduced-order model CO-Planning framework (Z-COPA), a multi-agent architecture featuring a Symbolic Action Graph Engine (SAGE) and a MILP-Guided Navigation (MGN) optimizer. Its core innovation is a dedicated graph representation method that accurately encodes the 0D flow network topology, converting the empirical planning process into a rigorous graph structure optimization problem. We validate the forward and inverse design capabilities and generalization performance of Z-COPA on two real aircraft engine secondary-air systems, two IEEE power-distribution reconfiguration benchmarks, and two water-distribution network benchmarks. The results show superior task completion quality, obtaining the best performance in both forward and reverse design of air systems. Z-COPA disrupts the traditional 0D model planning paradigm, providing a new technical approach for exploring broader topological space and achieving highly automated, globally optimal air system architectures.

英文摘要:Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have shown promise for solving partial differential equations (PDEs); however, their synchronous optimization treats residuals of different regions and constraints equally, which is inconsistent with the progressive "from source to response" physical information propagation path, degrading training stability and accuracy. Existing causal training methods focus mainly on the temporal dimension, lacking a unified characterization of spatial and boundary dimensions. To address this, we define a unified class of training priorities according to the physical information propagation path: premise regions should be learned before dependent regions; temporal, spatial, and boundary priorities are instances of this principle. Using neural tangent kernel (NTK) dynamics, we theoretically analyze why standard PINNs do not obey this priority: their residual convergence order is governed by the NTK spectrum and is independent of the propagation path. Accordingly, we propose a unified multi-dimensional priority-constraint framework that partitions the domain along the propagation path and constructs negative-exponential residual weights, converting the physical propagation order into a training priority. For cases with coexisting priorities, we introduce a directional compatibility coefficient to clarify that "orthogonal directions can be coupled multiplicatively in synergy, whereas coaxial opposite directions cannot." Benchmark cases show that this method consistently improves the convergence behavior and prediction accuracy of PINNs on problems with clear propagation paths or constraint-dominated structures, without modifying the network architecture and with controllable additional computational cost.

英文摘要: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on external tools served by shared providers and accessed by heterogeneous downstream agents. Existing approaches improve tool use on the agent side through parameter updates, prompt refinement, or agent-side memory, making tool knowledge difficult to share and limited to behaviors observed in past tasks. We argue that reusable tool knowledge should instead be maintained by the tool provider. We introduce ToolAtlas, a graph-based framework that builds a persistent provider-side tool memory of tool capabilities, failure boundaries, and cross-tool compositions through execution-verified probing. At inference time, agents query the tool memory via adaptive graph traversal. Across two MCP-based benchmarks spanning eight services, ToolAtlas outperforms existing tool-side optimization and agent-side memory baselines by up to 21.61% in pass@1 and 18.61% in pass@4. The same tool memory also transfers across environment instances and agent frameworks without retraining or task-time exploration, yielding up to 24.16%/16.22% and 17.49%/14.27% relative gains in pass@1/pass@4, respectively. Ablation studies show that these gains arise from combining tool-centered memory organization with capability-guided execution probing. These results establish provider-side tool memory as an effective and reusable paradigm for tool servers. Our code is in: https://github.com/PuppyKnightUniversity/ToolAtlas.

英文摘要:In this paper, we propose deep learning based NeuroMem-FHP framework for estimating the parameters of the fractional Hawkes process (FHP), a self-exciting point process that captures long-range dependence through a fractional Mittag-Leffler excitation kernel. Two neural architectures, namely a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network and a Transformer, are developed to estimate the model parameters $(μ,γ,α,β)$ directly from sequences of inter-arrival times without requiring computationally intensive likelihood optimization. Experiments on synthetic data that both neural models significantly outperform the classical Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method, with the Transformer achieving the highest estimation accuracy (MSE = $0.1634$), followed by the LSTM (MSE = $0.1752$), compared to MLE (MSE = $2.8032$). An ablation study further examines the effects of key hyperparameters on model performance. The proposed framework is also on two real-world high-frequency datasets, namely AAPL NBBO transaction data and Montgomery County 911 emergency call records. Using a predictive validation approach, event sequences simulated from the estimated parameters closely reproduce the empirical distribution, tail behavior, and temporal dependence structure of the observed data. These results demonstrate that Transformer-based parameter estimation provides an accurate and efficient alternative to conventional estimation techniques for FHP and offers a promising framework for modeling event-driven systems with long-memory dynamics.

英文摘要:Agentic systems increasingly improve themselves by editing skills: prompts, rubrics, plans, tool contracts, examples, validators, and traces. Skill edits are not independent coordinates in a vector space: they are local repairs to structured artifacts whose effects are observed only after rollout, validation, and critique. Distinct edits can have the same immediate visible effect while differing in routing context, template state, guardrail scope, or future composability. The order of edits can matter as well: repairing a schema before a normalization rule need not be equivalent to applying the same edits in the reverse order. This paper introduces a new framework for skill optimization called LASKO, for Lie Algebroid SKill Optimization. LASKO models typed, anchored Markdown skills as the base category and available edit policies as sections of a controlled Lie algebroid with anchor $ρ$. The anchor maps an edit policy to its visible Markdown effect; the kernel $\ker(ρ)$ represents latent template, routing, or implementation structure; and the algebroid bracket measures noncommuting edit composition. As shown in the paper, LASKO achieves order-of-magnitude speedups in skill optimization in our preliminary benchmark results, primarily because it substitutes inexpensive Lie-bracket screening tests that run in microseconds, before investing in expensive validations that require running large language models. On a causal extraction from natural language task, LASKO achieved a speedup of almost $15 \times$ compared to a brute-force approach that validated all edits by running them through a DeepSeek V3.1 4-bit model with 671B parameters.
