Flow matching has emerged as a scalable paradigm for training high-quality generative models, but sampling from the learned probability flow requires many network evaluations. Distillation can reduce this cost to one or a few evaluations; however, one-step generation often sacrifices quality, making few-step generation...

Neural network-based predictive modeling with high-dimensional structured Gaussian targets requires an efficient and numerically stable, yet expressive approximation of the covariance matrix. We propose SCORE: a scalable framework, combining scoring rule training with an expressive covariance approximation learned in s...

Simulators based on differential equations are ubiquitous in science and engineering. They are often used in simulation-based inference to evaluate the posterior distribution of the input parameters based on real-world observations of the simulator outputs. However, inference becomes challenging when individual simulat...
World models for control must capture which aspects of the environment respond to the agent's actions and which are relevant to reward. Generative world models such as Dreamer 4 consist of a video tokenizer, which encodes each frame into a latent, and a dynamics model, which is pretrained to predict future latents from...

Which forms of test-time compute improve the predictions of strong pretrained tabular foundation models (TFMs)? We systematically study this along three axes: adaptation, aggregation, and context construction. Our evaluation spans modern TFMs across the TabArena benchmark, supplemented by experiments on wide and large-...

Bayesian optimisation is the natural tool for shape design when objectives are expensive and non-differentiable, but it needs a compact yet expressive parameterisation of the search space. Hand-crafting one is a complex endeavour requiring domain expertise, and often yields implicit infeasible regions, artificial bound...

Shapley values are among the most popular feature-attribution explanations. Efficient approaches for computing/estimating Shapley values for tree-based models, which are state-of-the-art for tabular data sets, have been developed. However, it is known that Shapley values can be (highly) unrobust due to small and realis...

High-resolution socioeconomic variables are important for applications such as urban planning, public health, disaster response, and resource allocation. In practice, however, these variables are often observed only at a coarse spatial resolution. We introduce Puffin, a probabilistic framework for statistical disaggreg...

Assembly documentation is a downstream manufacturing artifact that is still usually authored by interpreting CAD models by hand. Structured product data and large language models are both available, yet studies of CAD interpretation, assembly sequence planning, instruction writing, and human oversight have largely proc...

In deep learning, approximation theory motivates increasing representation size. We ask whether this benefit extends to dynamics learning through autoregressive prediction. We analyze the learned time evolution through the eigenstructure of Koopman operators, using relative residuals to detect spurious eigenpairs arisi...

Modern neural networks are heavily over-parameterized. This redundancy incurs substantial compute and memory overhead during training and inference. Existing pruning methods rely on post-hoc magnitude thresholds or static initialization heuristics. Consequently, they often require manual per-layer sparsity targets or e...
We study the sample complexity of noisy one-bit compressed sensing for signals drawn from a prior distribution. By characterizing the effective distributional complexity of the prior via its approximate covering number, we prove that posterior sampling achieves accurate recovery with high probability when the number of...

Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.
