SLEM: Spectrum-Aware Latent Expert Merging

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models scale model capacity efficiently by activating only a small subset of experts for each input, while still requiring all parameters to be stored in memory, resulting in substantial memory overhead. Expert merging techniques have recently emerged as a promising compression paradigm that re...

StructZO: Structured Zeroth-Order Optimization for Memory-Efficient LLM Fine-Tuning

Fine-tuning large language models at scale is increasingly limited by the memory cost of backpropagation. Zeroth-Order (ZO) optimizers reduce this burden by relying only on forward function evaluations, but they still exhibit a substantial performance gap to first-order (FO) optimizers such as Adam. We argue that this...

CryptoFlowBench: Benchmarking Multi-Hop Reasoning on Blockchains for Cryptocurrency Fund Tracing

This work proposes ChainSleuth, a graph-tool-augmented agent that iteratively reasons, invokes graph tools, and updates its tracing trajectory, enabling adaptive information acquisition and recovery from erroneous paths in multi-hop fund tracing.

ARMED: Adaptive Retrieval-Augmented Medication Recommendation

Medication recommendation requires jointly considering diagnoses, comorbidities, longitudinal patient history, and treatment interactions. Although recent retrieval-augmented generation approaches using language models have shown promise for clinical recommendation, most existing systems rely on fixed retrieval pipelin...

LoopQuant: Accurate and Efficient Post-Training Quantization for Looped Transformers

Looped Language Models (LoopLMs) improve parameter efficiency by recursively reusing shared Transformer modules, yet their repeated computation over evolving recurrent states poses new challenges for low-bit deployment. Existing post-training quantization (PTQ) methods, largely designed for feed-forward Transformers, f...

DWI Connectome-based Sex Classification in Young using Supervised Variational Autoencoder

During adolescence, significant changes in brain development are influenced by hormonal changes that impact both the body and the brain. This study presents sex classification in 787 young adults having age range of 15-25 years using Diffusion-weighted (DWI) structural connectome, focusing on 82 Desikan-Killiany atlas...

Rescuing Points Trapped Inside Incorrect Decision Regions: A target for Evaluating and Improving Forward-Forward Learning

Forward-Forward learning replaces end-to-end backpropagation with local, layer-wise training objectives. Its variants are evaluated primarily by classification accuracy, often measured with linear probes trained on their representations. We show that this evaluation can over-credit the learning method: a linear probe o...

BehaviorFormer: Discovering Behavioral Patterns via Clusterable Next-Token Prediction

Discovering behavioral patterns in open-ended games is challenging due to the lack of clear objectives or ground-truth annotations. In this work, we extend a next-token prediction Transformer with the deep clustering algorithm DCSS to learn meaningful representations with well-separated clusters. In a controlled Minecr...

SLDBench v2: Active Scaling Law Discovery

SLDBench v2 is introduced with two extensions, and active scaling law discovery is introduced: an agent chooses which experiments to run, pays each one's recorded cost, and revises its law as outcomes arrive, and is scored on the same hidden extrapolation targets as in the passive setting.

A Survey of Flow Matching in Reinforcement Learning

Flow Matching (FM) has recently emerged as a principled and efficient generative modeling framework for reinforcement learning (RL), enabling expressive, multimodal policy parameterizations via deterministic probability transport. Compared to diffusion-based policies that rely on stochastic denoising chains, FM uses sa...

Reflected Proximal Dynamics for Accelerated High-Accuracy Log-Concave Sampling

We study sampling from $\pi(x)\propto\mathrm{e}^{-V(x)}$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $V$ is $\alpha$-strongly convex and $\beta$-smooth with condition number $\kappa=\beta/\alpha$. For this problem, the proximal sampler preserves the target exactly and recovers overdamped Langevin dynamics in the small-step limit, but its...

AutoNovo: Agentic Program Search Discovers Transferable Nucleic Acid Design Algorithms

In-silico optimization of nucleic acids relies on predictive oracles that imperfectly capture biological function, so sequences optimized against one model may exploit model-specific artifacts and fail to generalize to independent models. Recent studies have shown that not all designers generalize equally well to indep...

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.
