Beyond Conventional Federated Learning via High-Order Regularization

HiFedProx is introduced, which replaces the quadratic penalty with a scale-matched power-type regularizer indexed by p, and combines this geometry with finite-budget stochastic client optimization and same-minibatch Armijo backtracking.

Muon-C: Operator-Aligned Muon for Convolutional Kernels

Muon-C is introduced, an operator-aligned optimizer that represents kernel momentum as frequency-wise channel-transfer matrices, polarizes these blocks independently, and uses a critical Fourier grid to return updates exactly to the original finite kernel support.

Tensor-Train Weak SINDy: Identifying High-Dimensional Nonlinear Dynamics

Weak Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (WSINDy) provides a noise-robust approach for learning dynamical systems from data without requiring numerical differentiation. However, for high-dimensional systems, tensor-product libraries of candidate functions grow exponentially with the state dimension, making stan...

Accountable and uncertainty-aware evaluation of sensor-based AI under distribution shift: devices, subjects, and nearly three years underground

A staged, accountable evaluation protocol that treats the evaluation of a deployed model as a measurement with declared reference levels and a quantified uncertainty and demonstrates the protocol on infrastructure-free geomagnetic localisation with smartphone-based recurrent classifiers in two real underground mines.

A statistical approach to bias in zero-shot learning: the lens of handwriting recognition

A statistical approach to bias rectification that can be combined in a turn-key fashion with any classical GZSL feature learner as a blackbox, thereby suggesting a wide scope of applicability of this method for a wide variety of GZSL implementations in different domains.

FlowCPO: A Unified Divergence View of Preference Alignment for Flow Models

This work introduces FlowCPO, an offline forward-KL objective that uses both preferred and dispreferred samples without online rollouts and shows under explicit regularity conditions that the forward-KL objective is bounded by a contrastive flow matching loss, yielding a tractable surrogate on fixed data.

What Fixed-Rollout pass@k Evaluations Can Identify

This work gives an exact, conservative one-coordinate finite-task confidence certificate and a reporting standard separating direct estimates, identified sets, and model-conditioned forecasts, and gives exact count-law-preserving constructions with incompatible extrapolations with incompatible extrapolations.

Critical initialization destabilizes higher input derivatives in wide scalar-input networks

The edge-of-chaos condition preserves first-order input perturbations in wide randomly initialized networks, but physics-informed losses, score matching and derivative regularization depend on higher input derivatives. For smooth scalar-input fully connected networks, using a joint Gaussianity of the finite derivative...

Characterizing Bias in Post-Bandit Inference under Index Algorithms

Bandit algorithms generate data for downstream inference, but adaptive sampling biases post-bandit sample means. We analyze this bias for stable index algorithms, including UCB1 and its generalizations, and derive sharp leading-order expressions for the sample-mean bias and expected $Z$-statistic. Our characterization...

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
