Deep End-to-End Survival Analysis with Temporal Consistency

In this study, we present a novel Survival Analysis algorithm designed to efficiently handle large-scale longitudinal data. Our approach draws inspiration from Reinforcement Learning principles, particularly the Deep Q-Network paradigm, extending Temporal Learning concepts to Survival Regression. A central argument in...

Instance-Level Difficulty: A Missing Perspective in Machine Unlearning

Current research on deep machine unlearning primarily focuses on improving or evaluating the overall effectiveness of unlearning methods while overlooking the varying difficulty of unlearning individual training samples. As a result, the broader feasibility of machine unlearning remains under-explored. This paper studi...

TernaryLLM: Ternarized Large Language Model

Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, but they are hindered by high computational costs and memory requirements. Ternarization, an extreme form of quantization, offers a solution by reducing memory usage and enabling energy-efficient floating-point...

Linearized Wasserstein dimensionality reduction with approximation guarantees

We introduce LOT Wassmap, a computationally feasible algorithm to uncover low-dimensional structures in the Wasserstein space. The algorithm is motivated by the observation that many datasets are naturally interpreted as probability measures rather than points in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and that finding low-dimensional descrip...

Constructive Bounds for the Topological Expressivity of Neural Networks

The expressivity of a neural network $\Phi$ describes the class of functions that a network can express. The term topological expressivity refers to a family of measures particularly suited to understand binary classification and is often formulated in terms of the Betti numbers of a decision boundary $\beta (\Phi^{-1}...

Goal-Oriented Bundle Management and Flow Control for Deep-Space Communications via Reinforcement Learning

Deep-space communications operate under intermittent connectivity, long propagation delays, and relay storage constraints. In such networks, the Bundle Protocol enables store-carry-forward communication, requiring relay nodes to manage limited storage and scarce contact opportunities. Relay-side scheduling and dropping...

DyssomniaNN: Multi-Scale Spiking Neural Modeling of Human Sleep Disorders and Perceived Restedness

Clinical sleep medicine repeatedly documents profound divergences between objective sleep duration and subjective daytime impairment, notably exemplified by sleep state misperception in paradoxical insomnia and boundary instability in narcolepsy type 1. Here, we present DyssomniaNN: a multi-scale biophysical computatio...

Hitting-Time Bounds for Asynchronous Q-Learning

We study the last iterate of standard asynchronous Q-learning from a single trajectory of a finite Markov decision process. The trajectory follows a fixed behavior policy whose state--action chain is irreducible and may be periodic. For discount factor $\gamma$, write $H=(1-\gamma)^{-1}$, and let $\mu_{\min}$ be the mi...

Finite-Sample Guarantees for Fully Discrete Conditional Diffusion Models

The approach aligns the score-training objective with the sampling grid, allowing statistical estimation and numerical discretization errors to be analyzed together, and establishes finite-sample guarantees for conditional diffusion models learned from data and implemented with finitely many denoising steps.

Dream to Remember: Continual Steering of Generalist Robot Policies with World Models

Generalist robot policies are trained with imitation learning and are bounded by the quality and coverage of their demonstrations. Reinforcement learning can improve and extend them, either by fine-tuning the policy weights or by training a small module to steer the input noise of a frozen generative policy. When tasks...

Diversity-Aware Ensemble of Quantum-Classical Models via Combinatorial Fusion

Variational quantum circuits (VQCs) are highly sensitive to circuit architecture, yet most quantum machine learning pipelines select a single best design and discard the remaining candidates. This paper addresses whether the structural diversity across quantum circuit search spaces can be used to produce stronger predi...

Constrained Probabilistic Numerics: Gaussian Process Solvers for Linear PDEs under Linear Inequality Constraints

Gaussian process solvers for linear partial differential equations (PDEs) return posteriors rather than point estimates, but they condition only on equality information: the PDE residual, boundary data, and measurements. Many solutions of interest also obey inequality constraints, including nonnegativity, monotonicity,...

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.
