A Tutorial on Quantum Amplitude Embedding with Data Re-Uploading

This tutorial addresses the problem of explaining what data re-uploading adds to an amplitude-embedded model and how large the gain is and expresses sequential re-uploading and parallel re-uploading with two copies in one notation and shows that each upload raises the reachable polynomial order by two.

Agentic-MatriBO: Capability-Compiled Agentic Bayesian Optimization for Materials and Chemical Design

Materials and chemical optimization must choose the next synthesis, characterization, or high-fidelity simulation from sequential observations under a limited budget. Large language models can use task knowledge to propose adjustments, but composing surrogates, acquisition functions, and search strategies is constraine...

Checking the Checkers: A Synthesis of Verifier Noise and Robustness in RLVR

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become a principal recipe for improving the reasoning of large language models (LLMs). It rests on the assumption that the checker scoring each response is itself correct. In practice, rule-based checkers reject correct answers in unexpected formats, unit tests...

Learning from fracture: Teaching language models to design through physical experience

How can language models learn to optimize physical designs through experience? We introduce FracLearn, an experience-abstraction-generalization framework evaluated through a deliberately unfamiliar, Tetris-inspired fracture game. The model first proposes architectures and examines simulated fracture responses to accumu...

GIFT-Eval-CTX: A Benchmark For Contextual Forecasting Model Evaluation

Contextual forecasting seeks to improve time series forecasting by incorporating forward-looking information, such as planned events, external conditions, and expert expectations. However, reliable evaluation remains difficult: existing benchmarks often have limited domain coverage, lack standardized history-future spl...

Posterior-Averaged Bellman Flow Matching for Distributional Critics

Distributional critics model the full return distribution, providing richer signals for exploration and risk-sensitive control. Recent work has shown that flow-based critics can model these distributions flexibly and provide effective supervision across flow time for temporal-difference learning. However, unlike standa...

Gaussian Process Bandits for AI System Optimization with Selectively Verified Feedback

Gaussian process bandits exploit similarities among configurations to optimize prompts, retrieval systems, and agent workflows. In these applications, however, inexpensive model-based evaluations can disagree with trusted task outcomes. We study selective verification when an action is chosen before a diagnostic is obs...

Degrees of Freedom in Multi-Agent Coordination: Between Centralized and Decentralized Regimes

Large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent systems (MAS) are commonly organized around two coordination regimes. Centralized coordination provides explicit control but can create a bottleneck at a single coordination locus, whereas decentralized coordination offers local autonomy but must achieve effective collaborat...

Auditing Failure Attribution: Label Predictability and Judge Behavior

Failure-attribution benchmarks ask an LLM judge which step or agent caused a failure. A high score should mean the judge checked the faulty step against the run (a cross-step check). However, spurious signals (surface cues) that predict the annotation can produce a high score. In this paper, we propose four tests to se...

HiSTOR: Structured Treatment-outcome Representation Learning for High-Dimensional Longitudinal Data

Estimating potential outcomes under alternative treatment sequences is essential for personalized decision-making, but remains challenging with high-dimensional covariates and time-varying confounding. In this study, we propose HiSTOR (High-dimensional Structured Treatment-Outcome Representation), an end-to-end framewo...

Train for Many, Update with One: Improving Multi-Sample Reasoning via Fenchel-Bregman Posterior Learning

Multi-sample reasoning measures candidate coverage, the probability that at least one of $K$ candidates is correct. However, minimizing the average loss of individual attempts does not directly optimize candidate coverage. We therefore formulate finite-$K$ posterior learning, which trains a distribution over solver par...

Explore with Memory, Learn without It: In-Context Exploration and Self-Distillation for LLM Reasoning

Exploration bounds learning efficiency in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR). Current methods explore mostly through independent sampling, without fully using the information gathered along the way, such as known wrong answers and environment feedback. We propose LEAF, which injects a dynamic, proble...

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.
