Recovering Irreducible Three-Body Interactions with Lagrangian Neural Networks

Lagrangian Neural Networks (LNNs) learn mechanical systems from trajectory data by parameterizing a scalar Lagrangian and deriving the dynamics through the Euler-Lagrange equations, biasing the model toward motion that respects the variational structure of mechanics. The interactions studied so far have been pairwise-a...

MHR-Router: Multimodal Heterogeneous Retrieval-Enhanced Adaptive Routing for VLM Inference

Vision-language models (VLMs) exhibit complementary capabilities, yet selecting the most suitable expert for a given image-question query remains challenging due to heterogeneous multimodal inputs and varying expert strengths. Existing routing approaches rely on text-based cues or static model profiles, failing to capt...

CopRoute: Dependence-Aware Conformal Routing for Language Models

It is shown that CopRoute's ordering attains, on the design data, the best guarantee any efficient fixed-ordering algorithm can give for the average number of calls to the first correct model, and that a separate calibration step certifies the all-miss risk of the deployed sets.

Data-Adaptive Mahalanobis Metric Learning for Cross-Head Attention in Transformers

In this paper, we propose Data-Adaptive Mahalanobis Cross-Head Attention (DAMCHA), a simple and effective attention mechanism that generalizes Multi-Head Attention (MHA) through the lens of metric learning. Standard MHA implicitly learns a static, head-wise Euclidean similarity corresponding to the diagonal blocks of a...

Neural Surrogate Modeling of Ultrasonic Wave Propagation in Heterogeneous Media

Neural surrogates provide computationally efficient auto-regressive modeling of wave propagation, enabling e.g. fast inverse solutions. Despite recent progress, the current surrogates are not yet sufficient for the needs of ultrasonic sensing, characterized by high frequency and heterogeneous propagation media. We show...

CAST: Credit Alignment for Cross-Tokenizer On-Policy Distillation

Cross-tokenizer on-policy distillation (OPD) requires aligning teacher and student sequences before their scores can be compared. Decoded-text alignment provides such correspondence at the chunk level, but leaves a distinct problem unresolved: credit alignment. A chunk-level signal specifies how much a span should chan...

State-OPD: State-Grounded On-Policy Distillation for Multi-Turn Agents

On-Policy Distillation (OPD) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for transferring reasoning capabilities from frontier models to smaller models, while extending its success to multi-turn agentic environments remains challenging. We study agentic OPD through interaction states, distinguishing the objective task and execu...

Learning Schwarzschild Geodesic Motion with Lagrangian Neural Networks

Lagrangian Neural Networks (LNNs) learn dynamics from trajectory data by parameterizing a scalar Lagrangian and deriving accelerations through the Euler--Lagrange equation, providing a variational inductive bias that improves physical consistency over purely data-driven models. LNNs have recently been extended to gener...

Tensor-based Fusion of Multi-modal Data for Predicting Cancer Risk Levels

Cancer diagnosis and treatment increasingly rely on multi-modal diagnostic technologies that generate high-dimensional datasets. Although these datasets are rich in pathological information, they pose considerable challenges in interpretation, dimensionality reduction, and clinical applicability. Conventional machine l...

Monarch-MoE: Structured Experts for Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning

Learning new tasks in multimodal continual instruction tuning can cause catastrophic forgetting of previously acquired knowledge. Although multi-expert LoRA distributes learning across experts, updates to a dense low-rank expert can still affect many output features. We introduce Monarch-MoE, which replaces the dense f...

How Much Computation Does Every Forecast Need? Structured Block Skipping in Two Time-Series Foundation Models

Across both models, different equal-budget masks win on different windows, and a retrospective oracle significantly improves over the best static mask on every dataset, however, dataset-specific masks transfer inconsistently, and Chronos representations do not support reliable unseen-domain routing.

Rethinking Relative Policy Differences Transfer of On-Policy Distillation

A unified view is developed in which the log-probability ratio between a proxy expert and a proxy reference defines an implicit reward for KL-regularized policy optimization, which enables any-to-any transfer across models that differ in scale, training stage or generation.
