Stochastic MeanFlow Policies: One-Step Generative Control with Entropic Mirror Descent

Combining entropy regularisation with mirror descent in online off-policy reinforcement learning requires expressive policies with efficient sampling and explicit entropy control. Gaussian policies struggle to represent multimodal targets, whereas generative policies often require iterative sampling or lack tractable e...

Sampling-Based Safe Reinforcement Learning

Safe exploration remains a fundamental challenge in reinforcement learning (RL), limiting the deployment of RL agents in the real world. We propose Sampling-Based Safe Reinforcement Learning (SBSRL), a model-based RL algorithm that maintains safety throughout the learning process by enforcing constraints jointly across...

MemReread: Enhancing Agentic Long-Context Reasoning via Memory-Guided Rereading

Long-context reasoning tasks have motivated agent-memory approaches that process document chunks sequentially while maintaining a dynamically updated memory, avoiding the quadratic complexity of standard attention. Existing methods often rely on retrieval to recover information discarded during memory overwriting, but...

FactoryNet: A Large-Scale Dataset toward Industrial Time-Series Foundation Models

Industrial machines are actuated systems, yet most open time-series corpora record sensor outcomes alone; the few that do log commanded signals expose them in vendor-specific forms that differ from machine to machine, so commanded intent and measured response cannot be compared across embodiments. We introduce FactoryN...

Beyond Pairs: Your Language Model is Secretly Optimizing a Preference Graph

Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) aligns language models using pairwise preference comparisons, offering a simple and effective alternative to Reinforcement Learning (RL) from human feedback. However, in many practical settings, training data consists of multiple rollouts per prompt, inducing rich preference structu...

Convex Optimization of Spiking Neural Networks with Global and Approximation Guarantees

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have been proposed as energy-efficient alternatives to deep neural networks. Their training is non-convex and involves a non-differentiable spike function, so existing methods offer no guarantee of reaching a global optimum. We address this issue by formulating SNN optimization as an equi...

Physics-guided surrogate learning enables zero-shot control of turbulent wings

Turbulent boundary layers over aerodynamic surfaces are a major source of aircraft drag, yet their control remains challenging due to multiscale dynamics and spatial variability, particularly under adverse pressure gradients. Reinforcement learning has outperformed state-of-the-art strategies in canonical flows, but it...

AnomalyAgent: Agentic Industrial Anomaly Synthesis via Tool-Augmented Reinforcement Learning

Industrial anomaly generation is a crucial method for alleviating the data scarcity problem in anomaly detection tasks. Most existing anomaly synthesis methods rely on single-step generation mechanisms, lacking complex reasoning and iterative optimization capabilities, making it difficult to generate anomaly samples wi...

CORE-Seg: Reasoning-Driven Segmentation for Complex Lesions via Reinforcement Learning

Medical image segmentation is undergoing a paradigm shift from conventional visual pattern matching to cognitive reasoning analysis. Although Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown promise in integrating linguistic and visual knowledge, significant gaps remain: existing general MLLMs possess broad common s...

Agentic Peer-to-Peer Networks: From Content Distribution to Capability and Action Sharing

The ongoing shift of Artificial Intelligence (AI) from centralized cloud application programming interfaces (APIs) to local inference on edge devices is enabling Client-Side Autonomous Agents (CSAAs) - persistent personal agents that can plan, access local context, and invoke tools on behalf of users. As these agents c...

On the Rate of Convergence of GD in Non-linear Neural Networks: An Adversarial Robustness Perspective

We study the convergence dynamics of Gradient Descent (GD) in a minimal binary classification setting, consisting of a two-neuron ReLU network and two training instances. We prove that even under these strong simplifying assumptions, while GD successfully converges to an optimal robustness margin, effectively maximizin...

Beyond State-Wise Mirror Descent: Offline Policy Optimization with Parametric Policies

We investigate the theoretical aspects of offline reinforcement learning (RL) under general function approximation. While prior works (e.g., Xie et al., 2021) have established the theoretical foundations of learning a good policy from offline data via pessimism, existing algorithms that are computationally tractable (o...
