While deep ensembles are widely considered to be the default method for uncertainty quantification in deep learning, their effectiveness for graph-structured data is often simply assumed based on successes in domains like computer vision. We investigate standard deep ensembles specifically for message-passing graph neu...

Scalarization is widely used in multi-objective optimization owing to its simplicity and scalability. In many applications, the goal is to generate solutions that represent diverse user preferences, ideally with uniform coverage of the Pareto front (PF). However, uniformly sampling scalarization weights usually induces...
Quadratic constraints (QCs) are widely used to characterize nonlinearities and uncertainties, but generic analytical characterizations can be conservative on bounded domains. This paper develops a framework for constructing verified quadratic characterizations of scalar relations in the two-dimensional real plane. Cand...

Dynamical modelling in pharmacometrics, systems biology, and epidemiology often involves subjects with related but distinct dynamics, observed through temporally sparse and irregular measurements. Classical nonlinear mixed-effects ODE models represent this heterogeneity but rely on parametric vector fields, making them...

Matrix product operator Born machines (MPO-BMs) are tractable tensor-network models for probabilistic modeling, yet their approximation capabilities remain poorly understood in theory. In this paper, we characterize these capabilities from both negative and positive perspectives. As a negative result, we prove that con...

Existing accounts of grokking explain the phenomena in terms of mechanistic frameworks such as circuit efficiency or lazy-to-rich transitions. However, despite a known dependence between grokking and model size, how model capacity shapes grokking remains an open question. We give an information-theoretic account of thi...
Kirigami is an increasingly useful fabrication method to produce shape-programmable metamaterial structures. However, inverse design remains difficult because deployment is nonlinear, and feasible cut layouts must satisfy discrete compatibility rules, avoid overlap, and map one target shape to valid designs. We present...

We propose a Constrained Triple-Head Price Optimization (C3PO) network for real-time bi-level decision making in discrete-choice environments. In these settings, a seller selects product or service offerings to achieve business objectives, while heterogeneous users make personalized acceptance or rejection decisions ba...

Attribution methods explain which input features drive a model's prediction, making them central to model debugging and mechanistic interpretability. Yet backward attribution methods, including gradients, LRP, and transformer-specific rules, lack a shared framework in which to compare the underlying backward calculatio...

Uniform random rotations are useful in fast Johnson--Lindenstrauss embeddings, kernel approximation, communication-efficient learning, and recent AI compression pipelines, but are computationally expensive to generate and apply in high dimensions. A practical alternative repeats Walsh--Hadamard transforms with random s...
This paper investigates Koopman operator-based approaches for multivariable control of a two-spool turbofan engine. A physics-based component-level model is developed to generate training data and validate the controllers. A meta-heuristic extended dynamic mode decomposition is adapted, with a cost function designed to...
Large language models (LLMs) contain billions of parameters, but many exact weight values are not essential. We apply scalar $K$-means clustering to pretrained models, replacing each weight matrix with only 16--64 shared values. For Llama~3.1-8B-Instruct and SmolLM2-135M, this preserves strong accuracy without retraini...
