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...

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}...
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...

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...

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...
We establish finite-sample guarantees for conditional diffusion models learned from data and implemented with finitely many denoising steps. Our approach aligns the score-training objective with the sampling grid, allowing statistical estimation and numerical discretization errors to be analyzed together. Under a smoot...
Generalist robot policies are trained with imitation learning and are bounded by the quality and coverage of their demonstrations. Reinforcement learning can improve and extend them, either by fine-tuning the policy weights or by training a small module to steer the input noise of a frozen generative policy. When tasks...

Variational quantum circuits (VQCs) are highly sensitive to circuit architecture, yet most quantum machine learning pipelines select a single best design and discard the remaining candidates. This paper addresses whether the structural diversity across quantum circuit search spaces can be used to produce stronger predi...

Gaussian process solvers for linear partial differential equations (PDEs) return posteriors rather than point estimates, but they condition only on equality information: the PDE residual, boundary data, and measurements. Many solutions of interest also obey inequality constraints, including nonnegativity, monotonicity,...

Variance reduction improves the convergence rate of stochastic non-convex optimization under the average smoothness condition. Existing adaptive variance reduction methods are especially designed for average smoothness and do not adapt to standard smoothness. In this paper, we study how one algorithm can adapt to these...
We present new algorithms for stochastic optimization problems in which the objective is neither smooth nor convex, subject to a convex constraint set. Our algorithms return a $(\delta,\varepsilon)$-Goldstein stationary point, as recently defined for constrained problems by Liu et al. (2024), with improved complexities...
Multiple-gradient descent is typically formulated in Euclidean geometry, whereas matrix-aware optimizers use directions induced by other norms. We analyze a single-loop multi-objective method combining a norm-constrained linear minimization oracle with entropic updates of task weights. For any finite-dimensional norm p...
