In maximum entropy and behavior-constrained reinforcement learning (RL), the optimal policy is given by a Boltzmann distribution. Generating samples from this distribution can be challenging, as it is often complex and multimodal. While flow policies trained with flow matching provide a powerful framework for represent...

Reasoning post-training draws on offline demonstrations and policy-generated rollouts, yet conventional supervised fine-tuning (SFT) followed by reinforcement learning (RL) separates their objectives and limits continued reuse of collected responses. We propose \textbf{Cross-Behavior Policy Optimization} (CBPO), which...

Outcome-supervised group-relative policy optimization (GRPO) assigns the same advantage to every token in an LLM agent trajectory, leaving useful and unhelpful decisions undifferentiated. Hindsight credit assignment (HCA) can refine this feedback, but its estimates rely on trajectories containing informative alternativ...

The shock response spectrum (SRS) characterizes the peak responses of single-degree-of-freedom systems to transient acceleration. Because the mapping from an acceleration time series (waveform) to its SRS is many-to-one, inverse synthesis seeks candidate waveforms consistent with a prescribed spectrum. We extend an ear...

RDMA can reduce communication overhead in distributed machine learning systems, but realizing these benefits in production requires more than replacing TCP. Variable-size messages, concurrent connections, bursty incasts, and service failures introduce challenges that hardware offload alone cannot address. This paper re...

Continuous random node features increase the expressivity of message-passing neural networks (MPNNs), but existing theoretical analyses are not fine-grained enough to capture their limitations, particularly in approximating functions across graph sizes or under a fixed number of random bits. We develop a population-lev...

Automatic differentiation (AD) is a cornerstone of modern machine learning. Since all AD frameworks implicitly fix a basis of Euclidean space to define gradients and Jacobians, they natively process mathematical objects that are arrays of a fixed set of coordinates. This makes it awkward to express objects such as rota...

Machine-learning models for perovskite solar cells are typically evaluated using random data splits, which we show systematically leak information through massive internal duplication. Because nearly two-thirds of curated devices share their exact recipe with another, random splits primarily reward the mere recall of h...
We propose NV-Tesseract-AD, a curriculum learning-enhanced conditional diffusion framework for multivariate time-series anomaly detection. Our central hypothesis is that reconstruction difficulty can be explicitly structured along two complementary axes, masking severity and diffusion noise level, and that training fro...

Parameter-efficient continual learning updates a restricted subset of adapter parameters to incorporate sequential tasks while limiting catastrophic forgetting. Gradient attribution is a common rule for selecting that subset, but it requires an additional backward pass over calibration data. We identify a parameter-poo...

We interpret Transformer networks as learned approximations to a hybrid probabilistic-inference procedure that combines max-product Loopy Belief Propagation (LBP) with Expectation--Maximization (EM). In this view, a Transformer performs inference in partially observed Markov Random Fields (MRFs) whose structure and par...
Gradient-based attribution provides input-specific information about model parameters, but computing it via backpropagation for many samples is expensive, while static importance scores discard input dependence. We derive KPSA (Kernelized Parameter Sensitivity Atlas) from a block decomposition of the empirical neural t...
