Playing the network backward: A Game Theoretic Attribution Framework

Attribution methods explain which input features drive a model's prediction, making them central to model debugging and mechanistic interpretability. Yet backward attribution methods, including gradients, LRP, and transformer-specific rules, lack a shared framework in which to compare the underlying backward calculatio...

Approximating Uniform Random Rotations by Two-Stage Structured Hadamard Rotations in High Dimensions

Uniform random rotations are useful in fast Johnson--Lindenstrauss embeddings, kernel approximation, communication-efficient learning, and recent AI compression pipelines, but are computationally expensive to generate and apply in high dimensions. A practical alternative repeats Walsh--Hadamard transforms with random s...

Koopman-Based Nonlinear Identification and Model Predictive Control of a Turbofan Engine

This paper investigates Koopman operator-based approaches for multivariable control of a two-spool turbofan engine. A physics-based component-level model is developed to generate training data and validate the controllers. A meta-heuristic extended dynamic mode decomposition is adapted, with a cost function designed to...

Weight Clustering Reveals the Importance of Relative Rank in Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) contain billions of parameters, but many exact weight values are not essential. We apply scalar $K$-means clustering to pretrained models, replacing each weight matrix with only 16--64 shared values. For Llama~3.1-8B-Instruct and SmolLM2-135M, this preserves strong accuracy without retraini...

Bridge Matching Sampler: Scalable Sampling via Generalized Fixed-Point Diffusion Matching

Sampling from unnormalized densities using diffusion models has emerged as a powerful paradigm. However, while recent approaches that use least-squares `matching' objectives have improved scalability, they often necessitate significant trade-offs, such as restricting prior distributions or relying on unstable optimizat...

Federated Learning of Nonlinear Temporal Dynamics with Graph Attention-based Cross-Client Interpretability

Networks of modern industrial systems are increasingly monitored by distributed sensors, where each system comprises multiple subsystems that generate high-dimensional time-series. These subsystems are often interdependent, making it important to understand how temporal patterns observed at one subsystem relate to thos...

ERIS: Enhancing the Privacy-Utility-Scalability Trade-Off in Federated Learning via Federated Shard Aggregation

Scaling Federated Learning (FL) to billion-parameter models forces a challenging trade-off between privacy, scalability, and model utility. Existing solutions often tackle these challenges in isolation, sacrificing accuracy, relying on costly cryptographic tools, or introducing communication and optimization inefficien...

Beyond Prediction-Set Size: Quantifying Conformal Uncertainty through Credal Geometry

Prediction-set size offers a coarse summary of conformal uncertainty. We develop a richer perspective through the geometry of credal sets: families of probability distributions compatible with conformal prediction (CP) regions. We establish this representation for split CP, extending a correspondence recently identifie...

Bayesian dynamic scheduling of multipurpose batch processes under incomplete look-ahead information

Multipurpose batch processes become increasingly popular in manufacturing industries since they adapt to low-volume, high-value products and shifting demands. These processes often operate in a dynamic environment, which faces disturbances such as processing delays and demand changes. To minimise long-term cost and sys...

Mixture of Many Zero-Compute Experts: A High-Rate Quantization Theory Perspective

This paper uses classical high-rate quantization theory to provide new insights into mixture-of-experts (MoE) models for regression tasks. Our MoE is defined by a segmentation of the input space to regions, each with a single-parameter expert that acts as a constant predictor with zero-compute at inference. Motivated b...

Multidimensional Bayesian Active Machine Learning of Working Memory Task Performance

While adaptive experimental design has outgrown one-dimensional, staircase-based adaptations, most cognitive experiments still control a single factor and summarize performance with a scalar. In contrast, we validate here a Bayesian, two-axis, active-classification approach in an immersive virtual testing environment,...

User Trajectory Prediction Unifying Global and Local Temporal Information

Trajectory prediction is essential for formulating proactive strategies that anticipate user mobility and support advance preparation. Therefore, how to reduce the forecasting error in user trajectory prediction within an acceptable inference time arises as an interesting issue. However, trajectory data contains both g...
