Compute-optimal data scaling for neural surrogates via multi-fidelity training

Neural surrogates for Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are usually trained on synthetic data from numerical simulators. As models grow and scaling laws demand larger datasets, the cost of data generation often outweighs the training cost and becomes the bottleneck in the scaling quest. Unlike data in other domains...

FreeSolo: Linear-time Sparse Attention with Zero-Shot Length Extrapolation

Linear-time sequence models typically store long-context information in a recurrent state. A fixed-size state limits how much information can be stored, while hybrid architectures that add full attention for better recall incur quadratic sequence cost. Alternatively, sparse attention with continued pretraining (CPT) ca...

Generative Flow on Symbolic Abstractions for Embodiment Capability Discovery

Achieving complex, long-horizon robot behavior remains challenging because successful execution depends on skills grounded in a robot's physical affordances. Existing training-task distributions are often handcrafted or sampled from large language models (LLMs), relying on semantic plausibility rather than embodiment-s...

Gradient Routing Localizes and Removes Unintended Behaviors in RL

We propose a mitigation to reward hacking in reinforcement learning. Our setup involves a misspecified reward function that gives rise to unintended behavior, and a monitor used to detect unintended behavior. As with frontier AI systems, the monitor makes systematic errors. Consequently, using the monitor for data filt...

SPLICE: Sparse Physics Library Identification and Compositional Expansion

Neural operator splitting composes a library of neural operators, one per physical mechanism, into zero-shot simulators of new equations. Existing approaches, however, require these mechanisms and their labels to be specified in advance. We ask whether a pretrained library can instead be adapted and grown from unlabele...

ProbabilityBench: Model Evaluation and Calibration with Exact Ground-Truth Uncertainty

Evaluating model uncertainty on real-world data is challenging because each instance provides only a single observed label, leaving true conditional class probabilities unknown. To address this, we introduce ProbabilityBench, a benchmark that provides exact, instance-level class probabilities across three simulated tex...

MAGNET: Manifold-Aware Graph Diffusion Network for Connectome Generation

Functional brain connectome represents neural connectivity as a matrix of pairwise interactions between brain regions. Generation of functional connectomes is not only a question of validity; rather, having satisfied the constraints on the correlation matrix, the next step is to recover the class-conditional geometry b...

TabGift: A Context-Efficient Foundation Model for Tabular Data Generation

Tabular data generation aims to synthesize realistic samples from limited observations while faithfully capturing the underlying data distribution. Tabular foundation models (TFMs), pretrained on diverse tabular tasks and adapted through in-context learning, have demonstrated strong predictive capabilities, suggesting...

From Suboptimal to Optimal: One-Step Latent Flow Policies for Offline Reinforcement Learning

Offline reinforcement learning aims to learn effective policies from fixed datasets without environment interaction. Although generative models such as diffusion and flow matching enhance policy expressiveness, they typically start from uninformative Gaussian noise and generate actions through multi-step iteration, lea...

SarcasTraps: Effect of Sarcasm on Turkish Hate Speech Detection

Standard hate speech detection datasets often emphasize explicit harmful language, but directed harm can also be expressed indirectly, without clearly hateful wording. Sarcasm is one such form of indirect expression, as it can convey harmful intent through mock praise, exaggeration, humor, or apparent politeness. In th...

Social Priors: Descriptions of AI Users Shape How Language Models Trust and Cooperate

Descriptions of how people use AI are becoming training data for the next generation of models. We ask whether what a model reads about its users changes how it treats people. Using contrastive synthetic-document finetuning, we train Qwen3-32B on four matched corpora built from the same 1,625 real-world usage scenarios...

KNN Implementation Details Can Dramatically Change Performance: An Example from Cover Trees

Nearest neighbor search algorithms are widely used and have a long history, but we find that key implementation details are seldom reviewed in articles about them. These details can materially impact performance, and thus change the conclusions one makes about a given algorithm's superiority. In this article, we highli...

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
