Randomized Momentum Transport with Cheap Predictors

Momentum methods such as STORM and second-order momentum track the gradient by adding a transport correction to momentum, at the cost of an extra oracle call per iteration. We introduce randomized momentum transport, which evaluates the correction with probability $q$ and otherwise uses a cheap prediction, with importa...

Studying the Effects of Task Diversity Using Small Mathematical Worlds

Basic mathematical tasks like modular addition have been a valuable tool for illuminating aspects of neural network behavior that are challenging to see in noisy, unverifiable, large-scale, real-world settings. These studies have typically focused on a single task. However, modern language models are exposed to a vast...

SeoulMMOD: A Large-Scale Multimodal Origin-Destination Flow Benchmark

Origin-destination (OD) flow forecasting supports urban mobility decisions by predicting the volume and patterns of human movement across a city. Most existing public OD benchmarks provide only a partial view of citywide mobility, covering a single transport service or at most two modes. With partial mode coverage, obs...

Machine Unlearning for Federated Socially Fair k-Means Clustering

Federated clustering can support applications such as patient stratification across hospitals and customer segmentation across distributed financial datasets. Responsible AI calls for fair representation of demographic groups and support for data deletion, motivated in part by rights such as the GDPR's right to erasure...

Towards Understanding the Training of GFlowNets: A Theoretical Perspective

Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) learn policies that sample discrete objects in proportion to a positive reward. They are trained by minimizing balance objectives, whose exact satisfaction guarantees correct sampling. However, a comprehensive theory linking nonzero balance loss and approximate stationarity to sampl...

Transformer-based In-Context Score Operator Learning for Diffusion Models

Diffusion models typically learn the generative dynamics of a single target distribution or a family of distributions indexed by conditioning variables fixed during training. This limits their ability to adapt to a previously unseen distribution from only a small set of examples. We introduce an in-context solution ope...

VQIL: Visible Quantum Interference Learning for Perturbation Response Ranking on Graphs

Learning how local perturbations affect a network is important for identifying which components drive or absorb a system's response. We formulate this as seed-conditioned response ranking: given a perturbation at one seed node, ranking all other nodes by response strength. This is challenging when the model is given on...

On the Encoding of Calendar Features in Covariate-Informed Time Series Foundation Models

Time series foundation models (TSFMs) increasingly offer covariate support, with calendar information being the most common type of categorical covariate in practice, as it is available for every point in time. However, how these features are encoded is largely treated as an implementation detail rather than as an obje...

TabReliBench: Evaluating Tabular Foundation Models Beyond Predictive Accuracy

Tabular foundation models (TFMs) are increasingly popular for their strong predictive performance. Many also provide posterior predictive distributions (PPDs), whose reliability remains less studied. We assess reliability through point prediction, distributional quality, marginal and subgroup calibration, and interval...

PANDA: Prior-guided Attentional Dual-path Architecture

Hypergraph Neural Networks (HNNs), designed to model higher-order relations beyond pairwise interactions, typically rely either on fixed structural weights or on normalised attention. Fixed weights can propagate misleading information in heterophilic settings, while normalisation makes attention coefficients competitiv...

Private and Distributionally Robust Federated Multiclass Classification

Fault diagnosis in asset-intensive industries requires multiclass models trained on noisy, sensitive data collected across geographically distributed client sites. Federated learning enables collaborative training without centralizing data, but most approaches do not provide formal privacy guarantees for individual rec...

A small cognitive core explains human behavior at scale

Psychology has proposed many principles of cognition. Each, however, was developed in isolation, leaving their combined explanatory power unknown. We assembled a small set of established principles into one model, which we call COntextual Retrieval and Encoding (CORE). CORE consists of a hierarchy of episodic memories...

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.
