Optimizable Model Averaging for Ensembling Heterogeneous Model Outputs

Foundation model ensembles can improve accuracy and robustness, but full fine-tuning and parameter-space merging are often expensive or impossible when candidate models have different architectures. We propose Optimizable Model Averaging (OMA), a black-box approach that learns nonnegative model-combination weights, one...

EmbodiTTA: Resource-Efficient Test-Time Adaptation for Embodied Visual Systems

Continual Test-time adaptation (CTTA) continuously adapts the deployed model on every incoming batch of data. While achieving optimal accuracy, existing CTTA approaches present poor real-world applicability on resource-constrained edge devices, due to the substantial memory overhead and energy consumption. In this work...

Disentangling Total-Variance and Signal-to-Noise-Ratio Improves Diffusion Models

Diffusion models have been widely adopted as a powerful generative framework across numerous scientific domains, yet their inherently iterative sampling process remains a significant computational bottleneck. While this is typically mitigated by reducing the number of reverse diffusion steps, sample quality becomes hig...

Bandits with Anytime Knapsacks

We consider bandits with anytime knapsacks (BwAK), a novel version of the BwK problem where there is an \textit{anytime} cost constraint instead of a total cost budget. This problem setting introduces additional complexities as it mandates adherence to the constraint throughout the decision-making process. We propose S...

Deep End-to-End Survival Analysis with Temporal Consistency

In this study, we present a novel Survival Analysis algorithm designed to efficiently handle large-scale longitudinal data. Our approach draws inspiration from Reinforcement Learning principles, particularly the Deep Q-Network paradigm, extending Temporal Learning concepts to Survival Regression. A central argument in...

Instance-Level Difficulty: A Missing Perspective in Machine Unlearning

Current research on deep machine unlearning primarily focuses on improving or evaluating the overall effectiveness of unlearning methods while overlooking the varying difficulty of unlearning individual training samples. As a result, the broader feasibility of machine unlearning remains under-explored. This paper studi...

TernaryLLM: Ternarized Large Language Model

Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, but they are hindered by high computational costs and memory requirements. Ternarization, an extreme form of quantization, offers a solution by reducing memory usage and enabling energy-efficient floating-point...

Linearized Wasserstein dimensionality reduction with approximation guarantees

We introduce LOT Wassmap, a computationally feasible algorithm to uncover low-dimensional structures in the Wasserstein space. The algorithm is motivated by the observation that many datasets are naturally interpreted as probability measures rather than points in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and that finding low-dimensional descrip...

Constructive Bounds for the Topological Expressivity of Neural Networks

The expressivity of a neural network $\Phi$ describes the class of functions that a network can express. The term topological expressivity refers to a family of measures particularly suited to understand binary classification and is often formulated in terms of the Betti numbers of a decision boundary $\beta (\Phi^{-1}...

Goal-Oriented Bundle Management and Flow Control for Deep-Space Communications via Reinforcement Learning

Deep-space communications operate under intermittent connectivity, long propagation delays, and relay storage constraints. In such networks, the Bundle Protocol enables store-carry-forward communication, requiring relay nodes to manage limited storage and scarce contact opportunities. Relay-side scheduling and dropping...

DyssomniaNN: Multi-Scale Spiking Neural Modeling of Human Sleep Disorders and Perceived Restedness

Clinical sleep medicine repeatedly documents profound divergences between objective sleep duration and subjective daytime impairment, notably exemplified by sleep state misperception in paradoxical insomnia and boundary instability in narcolepsy type 1. Here, we present DyssomniaNN: a multi-scale biophysical computatio...

Hitting-Time Bounds for Asynchronous Q-Learning

We study the last iterate of standard asynchronous Q-learning from a single trajectory of a finite Markov decision process. The trajectory follows a fixed behavior policy whose state--action chain is irreducible and may be periodic. For discount factor $\gamma$, write $H=(1-\gamma)^{-1}$, and let $\mu_{\min}$ be the mi...
