Continuous-time latent state-space models are widely used for irregularly observed time series, typically representing uncertainty through a random initial state followed by smooth ordinary differential equation (ODE) dynamics, or Brownian perturbations accumulated by a stochastic differential equation (SDE). While the...

Neural-network variational Monte Carlo provides an accurate route to solving the electronic Schr\"odinger equation, but many neural wavefunctions are optimized for a single nuclear geometry, requiring separate calculations to map out a potential energy surface. We introduce NucleoNet, a nuclear-aware determinant ansatz...

The increasing demand for GPU-accelerated machine learning inference has exposed limitations in centralized GPU infrastructures, including high cost, limited elasticity, and long wait times under resource constraints. At the same time, modern Apple Silicon-based macOS devices are equipped with powerful GPUs that remain...

Comparing distributions under severe sample imbalance requires effectively using abundant majority observations while retaining sensitivity to differences involving the smaller sample. This challenge is particularly relevant for complex, non-Euclidean data, such as graphs, whose structural characteristics call for flex...

We study dictionary learning for probability measure-valued data by embedding measures into Hilbert spaces using features derived from optimal transport geometry. We learn data-adapted dictionaries through sparse autoencoder parameterizations, producing fast, scalable representations of probability measures as sparse f...

We consider online binary prediction with paid stochastic features, where the learner can spend resources to obtain better observations of the underlying features. This setting is motivated by applications such as medical testing, where additional cost can provide more precise measurements of patient's features for pre...

Federated vision-language models (FedVLMs) represent one of the emerging frontiers of machine learning, aiming to integrate federated learning within the fine-tuning pipelines of vision-language models (VLMs). In this work, we introduce BLEND, a new framework designed to jointly enhance the personalization and generali...

In continuous diffusion language models (DLMs), latents generated by the diffusion prior are mapped almost deterministically to tokens, either by a decoder or through a token embedding matrix. Unlike in image generation, where visual details can vary continuously, the diffusion prior must capture fine-grained discrete...

The determinant-ratio point process (DRPP), which models repulsion and attraction via a ratio of the determinants of two symmetric positive-definite kernels, is proposed, which preserves the feature-based interpretation of standard DPPs while allowing the two effects to be specified separately.

Mixed-integer programming (MIP) solvers are widely used, yet their performance can vary substantially even under seemingly neutral perturbations. Such variability complicates benchmarking, and the interpretation of computational studies. We introduce the Weighted Variability Score (WVS), a robust multi-component metric...

This work studies an entropy-based estimator of Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence constructed from normalized importance weights. We prove a universal finite-sample bound showing that its expectation can exceed the target-proposal KL divergence by at most $\log 2$ for any sample size. We then characterize the KL diverge...

Bayesian simulation-based inference (SBI) can struggle to recover increasingly concentrated posteriors as observation size grows. We consider learning sufficient summary statistics jointly with the posterior as a general principle for scalable inference in various SBI methods. A common measure taken in SBI is dimension...
