Fine-tuning has become the dominant paradigm for adapting Vision-Language Models (VLMs), yet most approaches rely on explicit weight updates that introduce a fundamental trade-off. Full Fine-Tuning (FFT) may perturb pretrained representations due to cross-modal gradient interference, whereas Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tu...
Inferring interaction structure from steady-state observations is a central inverse problem when transient trajectories are unavailable. Here we formulate this problem as simultaneous compatibility of a single interaction operator with equilibrium constraints generated by heterogeneous perturbations. We introduce a var...
Optimal transport (OT) and Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) alignment provide interpretable geometric frameworks for comparing, transforming, and aggregating heterogeneous datasets---tasks ubiquitous in data science and machine learning. Because these frameworks are computationally expensive, large-scale applications often rely...
Eddy-covariance (EC) flux towers provide in situ measurements of $CO_2$ flux and serve as the ground-truth data for predictive `upscaling' models derived from satellite products. However, many satellites now resolve spatial scales smaller than an EC tower's footprint. We show theoretically that upscaling models trained...

Engineering LLMs to accelerate life sciences research requires a robust alignment with biomedical knowledge. We observe that biomedical text exhibits a fundamentally different uncertainty structure from general text: dense low-confidence runs encode epistemic knowledge gaps (dense causal chains, rare entities) rather t...
Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms such as PPO and GRPO are widely used to train large language models (LLMs) for multi-turn agentic tasks. However, in off-policy training pipelines, these methods can exhibit unstable optimization dynamics and are prone to perfor- mance collapse. Through empirical analysis, we iden...
Modern language models fail a fundamental requirement of trustworthy intelligence: knowing when not to answer. Despite achieving impressive accuracy on benchmarks, these models produce confident hallucinations, even when wrong answers carry catastrophic consequences. Our evaluations on GSM8K, MedQA and GPQA show fronti...
The design of learning objectives is central to training time-series forecasting models. Existing learning objectives such as mean squared error mostly treat each future step as an independent, equally weighted task, which leads to the following two challenges: (1) they overlook the label autocorrelation effect among f...
Physical neural networks (PNNs) are promising candidates for next-generation computing, but existing demonstrations remain several orders of magnitude smaller than modern digital neural networks, whose recent advances have been driven by rapid growth in trainable parameters. This situation resembles the constraints of...
Training time-series forecasting models requires aligning the conditional distribution of model forecasts with that of the label sequence. The standard direct forecast (DF) approach resorts to minimizing the conditional negative log-likelihood, typically estimated by the mean squared error. However, this estimation pro...
We study kernel regression with common rotation-invariant kernels on real datasets including CIFAR-5m, SVHN, and ImageNet. We give a theoretical framework that predicts learning curves (test risk vs. sample size) from only two measurements: the empirical data covariance matrix and an empirical polynomial decomposition...
Progress in adversarial multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) for robotics has been hampered by a lack of shared, extensible infrastructure that supports heterogeneous agent morphologies in high-fidelity physics simulation. Existing frameworks either focus on cooperative tasks, rely on simplified physics engines, o...

Exploring how generative AI could make machine vision more accessible to businesses. The post GenEye in a Box: Making Machine Vision Something You Can Just Ask For appeared first on GPT-Lab.
Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.
The effort aims to help U.S. learners from kindergarten to community college, with an emphasis on math, making, and the constructive use of AI.
Associate Professor Cathy Wu uses reinforcement learning to help map out improvements to transportation and other multifaceted systems.
