Learning a Mixture of GFlowNets

Learning an ensemble of GFlowNets to sample from a discrete target distribution has become a common approach for achieving better state space exploration and convergence than that of a monolithic sampler. However, these methods often add a substantial runtime overhead to the base model, and their conceptual connection...

LLM-BabyBench: Can Language Models Plan in Worlds They Can Simulate?

Across seven frontier and open models, simulation is far ahead of planning for every model, near saturation for the strongest and well short of it for the weakest, and the length of the required solution, not grid size or obstacle count, governs planning failure.

Path-dependent Discrete Amortized Inference

It is demonstrated that the Markovian assumption can both hamper signal propagation during training and catastrophically reduce the learned sampler's expressivity due to state aliasing.

Particle GFlowNets: Rethinking Generative Marginalization Models

This work describes an automatic criterion for full-state rejuvenation of the Gibbs sampler, derived from the Gelman-Rubin statistic, which plays a key role in speeding up learning convergence.

Generative AI and Large Language Models for Financial Markets: From Behavioral Prediction to Autonomous Trading

It is shown how recent progress in generative AI becomes genuinely useful in markets when it helps model participant behavior, ground reasoning in live documents and order-flow data, and support research and execution workflows that can survive contact with production.

CopyShield: A Cross-Level Benchmark of Copyright Defenses in LLMs

Large language models can reproduce memorized text verbatim, yet copyright defenses are usually evaluated under incompatible protocols. We introduce CopyShield, a controlled benchmark comparing three representative defenses at distinct intervention levels: contrastive decoding (output), Direct Preference Optimization (...

GFlowNets and variational inference

This paper builds bridges between two families of probabilistic algorithms: (hierarchical) variational inference (VI), which is typically used to model distributions over continuous spaces, and generative flow networks (GFlowNets), which have been used for distributions over discrete structures such as graphs. We demon...

Generative AI and Large Language Models for Financial Markets: From Behavioral Prediction to Autonomous Trading

Financial markets are one of the few machine-learning settings where feedback is fast, mistakes are expensive, and deployment is constrained by execution and regulation. Yet most existing tutorials still treat finance either as an NLP benchmark or as a classical forecasting problem. This tutorial takes a different view...

Score-Only Distillation for Compact Dense Retrieval

Externally-transfer performance after distillation remains mixed, so the evidence supports compression of teacher rankings under matched retrieval protocols.
