Variance-Averse $n$-Step Offline Reinforcement Learning for Sparse Long-Horizon Environments

Generative actors are transforming offline reinforcement learning (RL) by enabling expressive policy classes that model complex action distributions. However, this expressiveness also exposes a key challenge in heterogeneous datasets: generative policies can reproduce unreliable action modes whose return distributions...

Label-Efficient Deep Learning for ECG Delineation: A Multi-Dataset Benchmark against Widely Used Delineation Tools

Electrocardiogram (ECG) delineation, the identification of waveform boundaries, is a foundational step that translates raw ECG signals into clinically interpretable measurements. Deep learning has advanced this task but remains dependent on costly expert annotations. Label-efficient strategies such as self-supervised p...

The Geometry of Empowerment

Empowerment captures the capacity for an agent to actively control its environment. While conceptually appealing as an information-theoretic quantity, the connection between empowerment and structurally central states that provide broad access to future outcomes has remained an open question. In this work, we link empo...

ServeLearnBench: How Well Can Agents Self-Improve from Serving Experience?

Large language model agents are increasingly deployed to perform complex tasks in real-world environments. However, the knowledge required for correct behavior in these environments is often implicit, undisclosed, and subject to change over time. Recent continual-learning harnesses seek to address this challenge by ena...

Towards One-for-All Foundation Model for Attributed Graph Clustering

Attributed graph clustering aims to discover node groups by jointly exploiting node attributes and graph topology, yet its unsupervised nature makes model selection and adaptation inherently difficult. Existing methods typically train and tune a separate model for each input graph, leading to costly and fragile pipelin...

WASD: Wasserstein-based Knowledge Distillation for Large Language Models

Autoregressive large language models (LLMs) have rapidly advanced in capability, but their increasing scale comes with substantial computational and memory costs at inference time. Knowledge distillation (KD) offers a practical solution by transferring knowledge from a large teacher model to a smaller student model via...

Exact-Solution Volume and Length Generalization in Transformers

Research on transformer expressivity shows whether a transformer is capable of solving a given task, but gives little indication of whether the solution, if learned, is generalizable to longer input lengths. We study this question through normalized exact-solution volume (NESV): the fraction of a bounded parameter regi...

Does On-Policy Distillation for Safety Pose Backdoor Risks?

On-policy distillation (OPD) has attracted growing attention as an effective way to transfer capabilities from teacher models to student models. Recent studies further explore OPD as a tool for improving large language model safety with promising results. However, these approaches typically assume that the teacher and...

Stateless Language Agents: Scaling Long-Horizon Automated Research

Automated research systems increasingly run LLM agents over long horizons, but more inference does not by itself produce more progress: agents replay growing histories, duplicate one another's work, or stop experimenting while token consumption continues. Yet most evaluations use short budgets or benchmarks that satura...

Mechanistic Interpretability of Atmospheric Rivers in GraphCast

While AI weather models now rival operational forecasts, how they represent the atmosphere internally remains an open question: feature attribution reveals which input patterns matter, not what the model computes or how it combines information internally. We train sparse autoencoders (SAEs) on GraphCast to uncover its...

Complementary Feature Domains: Information Preservation Does Not Imply Predictive-Contribution Preservation

Complementary Feature Domains (CFD) theory characterizes predictive value as a context-indexed contribution system induced jointly by representations and their realization family. We show that Shannon-information preservation does not imply preservation of this contribution system: an invertible representation transfor...

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...

Who we become when we talk to machines

Professor Sherry Turkle’s new book, “Artificial Intimacy,” offers a withering critique of chatbots and the antisocial dynamics she believes they encourage.
