ReMAP: Lossless Residual Neural Lifting for Scalable MAP Inference in Arbitrary-Order Markov Random Fields

Maximum a posteriori inference in a finite Markov random field is generally NP-hard. We study an instance-wise optimizer that minimizes the exact multilinear energy under product marginals. The canonical parameterization adds a GNN output to free per-node logits. This residual bypass is a global change of coordinates,...

Is Complex Query Answering Really Complex?

Complex query answering (CQA) on knowledge graphs (KGs) is gaining momentum as a challenging reasoning task. In this paper, we show that the current benchmarks for CQA might not be as complex as we think, as the way they are built distorts our perception of progress in this field. For example, we find that in these ben...

Scale-specific auxiliary multi-task contrastive learning for deep liver vessel segmentation

Extracting hepatic vessels from abdominal images is of high interest for clinicians since it allows to divide the liver into functionally-independent Couinaud segments. In this respect, an automated liver blood vessel extraction is widely summoned. Despite the significant growth in performance of semantic segmentation...

GREAT: A Graph Edge Attention Network for the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Asymmetric Costs

Due to the ongoing electrification of transportation systems, energy-based routing problems such as the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem (EVRP) are becoming increasingly important. Unlike Euclidean routing problems, the EVRP involves asymmetric energy costs caused by road topology. Existing learning-based routing appro...

Prediction Is All MoE Needs: Expert Load Distribution Goes from Fluctuating to Stabilizing

MoE facilitates the development of large models by making the computational complexity of the model no longer scale linearly with increasing parameters. The learning sparse gating network selects a set of experts for each token to be processed; however, this may lead to differences in the number of tokens processed by...

Teaching MLP More Graph Information: A Three-stage Multitask Knowledge Distillation Framework

We study the challenging problem for inference tasks on large-scale graph datasets of Graph Neural Networks: huge time and memory consumption, and try to overcome it by reducing reliance on graph structure. Even though distilling graph knowledge to student MLP is an excellent idea, it faces two major problems of positi...

Optimal Transport Aggregation for Distributed Mixture-of-Experts

This paper considers the setting in which local Mixture-of-experts (MoE) models are fitted independently on distributed datasets and must be combined into a single global MoE model. Weighted averaging the local mixtures, whose experts are not aligned across machines, often yields a large mixture with many experts inste...

NeuSE: Neural SE(3)-Equivariant Embedding for Long-Term Object-Based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping

We present NeuSE, a novel Neural SE(3)-Equivariant Embedding for objects, and illustrate how it supports object-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) for consistent spatial understanding with long-term scene changes. NeuSE is a set of latent object embeddings created from partial object observations. It se...

Surrogate Substitution Preserves PHI Detectability: A Multi-Detector Equivalence Study

Structure-preserving de-identification replaces each detected identifier with a realistic same-type surrogate ("Anna S." -> "Maria S.") rather than a tag such as [NAME]. If downstream PHI detectors no longer recognise surrogates, hiding-in-plain-sight protection and second-pass safety nets weaken. We ask: on the spans...

Conformal Certification of Reasoning Trace Prefixes

Language model reasoning traces are rarely all-or-nothing; they frequently contain valid intermediate steps before a critical error occurs. Existing uncertainty quantification methods typically certify final answers or entire responses, failing to provide statistical guarantees for the proportion of a sequential trace...

Energy per Successful Goal: Goal-Level Energy Accounting for Agentic AI Systems

Current AI energy benchmarks measure consumption per model invocation. For agentic systems, where a single user goal may trigger multistep orchestration, tool calls, retries, and failure recovery, the invocation count is an implementation artifact rather than a task property, and per inference normalization misrepresen...

RewardHarness: Self-Evolving Agentic Post-Training

Aligning generative models with human preferences remains a central challenge. While RLHF is widely adopted, it relies on large-scale preference data. This limitation is particularly evident in evaluating instruction-guided image edits, even though humans can often learn such preferences from only a few examples. We pr...

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.
