Shared Canonical Component Removal Beyond Expert Views

In clinical practice, experts often begin by converting raw inputs into a set of expert features before making a decision. While black-box models trained on raw input can outperform models trained on expert views, it remains unclear what predictive signal the raw model exploits beyond what the expert view captures. We...

TabMF: Learning Dataset Representations with Tabular Foundation Models

Representations of supervised datasets support higher-level machine-learning tasks such as dataset retrieval and distribution-shift monitoring. However, existing approaches typically rely either on hand-crafted meta-features or on dataset encoders trained specifically for representation learning. We introduce TabMF, a...

Spanning Diffusion and Flow-based Posterior Sampling via Exact Gaussian Conditioning

Flow-matching and diffusion models are increasingly used as priors for linear inverse problems, however, most methods are bespoke to one class of trajectory prior. Plug-and-play methods have been proposed, however these implicitly decorrelate the guided trajectory, resulting in broad priors that can struggle when data...

QTestBench: A Test Framework for Evaluating LLM-Generated Quantum Code

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong results in classical code generation and are increasingly used to write the unit tests that safeguard that code. Whether they can do the same for quantum software is less clear, because quantum programs are probabilistic, depend on numerical tolerances, and are judged by d...

Randomized Momentum Transport with Cheap Predictors

Momentum methods such as STORM and second-order momentum track the gradient by adding a transport correction to momentum, at the cost of an extra oracle call per iteration. We introduce randomized momentum transport, which evaluates the correction with probability $q$ and otherwise uses a cheap prediction, with importa...

Studying the Effects of Task Diversity Using Small Mathematical Worlds

Basic mathematical tasks like modular addition have been a valuable tool for illuminating aspects of neural network behavior that are challenging to see in noisy, unverifiable, large-scale, real-world settings. These studies have typically focused on a single task. However, modern language models are exposed to a vast...

SeoulMMOD: A Large-Scale Multimodal Origin-Destination Flow Benchmark

Origin-destination (OD) flow forecasting supports urban mobility decisions by predicting the volume and patterns of human movement across a city. Most existing public OD benchmarks provide only a partial view of citywide mobility, covering a single transport service or at most two modes. With partial mode coverage, obs...

Machine Unlearning for Federated Socially Fair k-Means Clustering

Federated clustering can support applications such as patient stratification across hospitals and customer segmentation across distributed financial datasets. Responsible AI calls for fair representation of demographic groups and support for data deletion, motivated in part by rights such as the GDPR's right to erasure...

Towards Understanding the Training of GFlowNets: A Theoretical Perspective

Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) learn policies that sample discrete objects in proportion to a positive reward. They are trained by minimizing balance objectives, whose exact satisfaction guarantees correct sampling. However, a comprehensive theory linking nonzero balance loss and approximate stationarity to sampl...

Transformer-based In-Context Score Operator Learning for Diffusion Models

Diffusion models typically learn the generative dynamics of a single target distribution or a family of distributions indexed by conditioning variables fixed during training. This limits their ability to adapt to a previously unseen distribution from only a small set of examples. We introduce an in-context solution ope...

VQIL: Visible Quantum Interference Learning for Perturbation Response Ranking on Graphs

Learning how local perturbations affect a network is important for identifying which components drive or absorb a system's response. We formulate this as seed-conditioned response ranking: given a perturbation at one seed node, ranking all other nodes by response strength. This is challenging when the model is given on...

On the Encoding of Calendar Features in Covariate-Informed Time Series Foundation Models

Time series foundation models (TSFMs) increasingly offer covariate support, with calendar information being the most common type of categorical covariate in practice, as it is available for every point in time. However, how these features are encoded is largely treated as an implementation detail rather than as an obje...
