Hardware-Assisted Multi-Stage Ransomware Detection with Adaptive Machine Learning

This paper proposes an novel framework that couples software-level scanning with hardware-level microprocessor activity monitoring to achieve efficient ransomware detection and mitigation and provides trace-level interpretability that explains the underlying decision process.

DiffNash: Finding Nash Equilibrium in High-Dimensional Continuous Action Spaces with Diffusion Policies

Computing equilibria in high-dimensional continuous games requires learning and representing rich, multi-modal strategy distributions, something conventional neural policies struggle to achieve. Diffusion models offer a natural solution, but standard diffusion training requires direct samples from a fixed target distri...

Scalable Weak-to-Strong Verifier Hardening for Agent Environments

Agent environments are essential for large language model (LLM) development. They use programmatic verifiers to turn complex outcomes into rewards. Verifiers can be attacked into awarding full credit to cheating agents without completing the intended task, causing inaccurate evaluation and misalignment in training. As...

Gen Through the Lens: Camera-Controllable Video Generation via Cross-Coordinate Conditioning Fusion

We present Gen Through the Lens, a camera-controllable image-to-video generation framework that synthesizes videos from a given reference image while enabling realistic and physically consistent camera operations. Unlike previous models that treat camera motion as abstract conditioning or rely on a single coordinate sy...

Make Every Expansion Count: Learning to Search Efficiently in LLM Code Repair

Large language model (LLM) code-repair systems fix faulty programs by repeatedly generating and testing revisions. Each revision is costly, making the choice of which repair to pursue important for efficiency. Existing search policies rely on test pass rates and search statistics, ignoring the details of test failures...

Variance-Optimal State Resampling for Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards spends much of its rollout budget on states that yield no learning signal. We recast this as a question about the sampling distribution itself: under a fixed rollout budget, which distribution over states minimizes the variance of the policy-gradient estimator? The answer...

Personalized LLM Recommendation with Semantic IDs: Autoregressive Beam Search vs. Multi-Token Prediction

The experiments show single-head beam search consistently beats MTP on most product-critical metrics: ranking and content QA, and trains at roughly 2.6x lower dollar cost on Qwen3-8B scale; MTP wins only on raw inference throughput.

LLM Value Functions for Credit Assignment in Agentic RL

Reinforcement learning (RL) for large language model (LLM) agents remains challenging in long-horizon tasks with sparse outcome rewards, where assigning credit to individual actions is difficult. Methods such as GRPO assign the same trajectory-level advantage to all actions, while critic-based methods require learning...

Hyperbolic Time Series Forecasting with Learnable Decomposition and Manifold Dynamics

Proposed HyperForecast is the first long-term time series forecasting (LTSF) framework operating in hyperbolic space and consistently outperforms existing and state-of-the-art baselines on 9 of 11 long-term forecasting benchmarks, achieving up to 58% lower mean squared error at long horizons.

Uncovering the Generative Landscape of Diffusion Models: A Spectral-Guided Quality-Diversity Diffusion Framework

Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models have emerged as powerful generative priors across domains ranging from molecular design to high-resolution image synthesis. However, standard diffusion sampling is inherently biased toward high-likelihood regions, often limiting the diversity of outputs. In many domains, a singl...

What DNA Foundation Models Learn Beyond Sequence Composition

Do genomic foundation models (FMs) provide predictive information beyond simple sequence composition? We evaluate frozen representations from five DNA FMs against normalized k-mer frequencies across 57 genomic classification datasets and two exploratory gene-expression regression tasks. Simple k-mer features remain com...

RespFocus: Learning Temporal Evidence for Weakly Supervised Respiratory Sound Classification

Respiratory auscultation provides a low-cost means of assessing pulmonary function, yet transient crackles and sustained wheezes can be difficult to recognize in noisy clinical recordings. Conventional deep learning classifiers often operate as black boxes, offering limited insight into the temporal acoustic evidence s...

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.
