Exhaustive optimistic scoring can make action selection costly in linear bandits with a large fixed set of $K$ actions, requiring $\mathcal{O}(K)$ score evaluations per round. We introduce Persistent Candidate LinUCB (\textsc{PC-LinUCB}), which maintains $k$ active actions and samples $q$ challengers uniformly from the...

Linear models can predict well in complex domains even when underlying mechanisms are nonlinear. We argue that this can occur because the complexity of the world exceeds the complexity that can be learned reliably from finite, partially observed data. Flexible models can exploit curvature, thresholds, and interactions...

Geospatial machine learning often depends on task-specific feature engineering over large collections of sociodemographic, business, and environmental variables. Geospatial foundation models offer reusable representations of place, but leading approaches typically encode dynamic signals, such as mobility and search act...

Kernel Ridge Regression (KRR) is a theoretically sound algorithm for nonparametric learning, which is also often used to investigate properties of deep learning. However, the exact KRR formulation incurs time and memory costs preventing applicability to large datasets, motivating the development of approximate solvers....

Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is a standard technique for improving conditional generation in diffusion models, yet its activation schedule is usually selected heuristically. In practice, most existing CFG-based methods rely on a pre-defined activation policy throughout inference, while recent dynamic variants often d...

Widely reused preprocessing pipelines for electronic health records can encode assumptions about when information became available, what clinical episode a label represents, and what missingness means. These assumptions are rarely audited systematically and may propagate across subsequent studies when preprocessing pip...

Mamba-3 introduces input-dependent rotations into recurrent state updates, but their contribution beyond state retention remains unclear. We interpret these ro- tations as underdamped second-order dynamics, providing a framework for in- vestigating the role of oscillation in sequence modeling. Controlled comparisons sh...
Tool-using agents increasingly require a common substrate for building, training, evaluating, distilling, and maintaining agentic systems, yet existing tooling typically addresses these stages in isolation. We present AgentTune, a source-available Python library that provides a unified framework for developing and opti...

Motivated by the success of large language models (LLMs) with broad generalizability and robustness to noisy or unreliable pre-training data, we explore in-context prediction of PDE solution fields using approximate pre-training data. In addition, inspired by the posterior predictive mean-based inference mechanism of t...

Serving a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model pays for expert precision twice: the resident footprint pays for every expert the router can reach, while each batch-one decode step pays only for the experts it selects. These are two different rate functionals over the same per-expert widths, yet published per-expert MoE alloc...

Partial differential equation (PDE) surrogate modeling often relies on either dense observations or access to governing equations/physics constraints. In practice, observations can be sparse and partial, and the underlying physics may be partially specified or unavailable. We introduce SBNO, an equation-free paired-dat...

The escalating environmental footprint of the Information and Communication Technol- ogy (ICT) sectorwith global Data Center electric- ity usage potentially reaching 3% by 2030 and the imperative for real-time responsiveness in smart buildings demand a foundational shift towards Edge Computing. This article proposes a...
