Inverse Synthesis of Shock Time Series from Shock Response Spectra Using Ensembles of Conditional Variational Autoencoders

An earlier conditional variational autoencoder framework is extended with a recurrent decoder that predicts multiscale wavelet coefficients and reconstructs waveforms through an inverse discrete wavelet transform and demonstrates superior performance across four holdout benchmark datasets and competitive performance on...

Deploying RDMA for Large-Scale Inference and Training Workloads

RDMA can reduce communication overhead in distributed machine learning systems, but realizing these benefits in production requires more than replacing TCP. Variable-size messages, concurrent connections, bursty incasts, and service failures introduce challenges that hardware offload alone cannot address. This paper re...

The Expressive Power of Random-Feature MPNNs Across Graph Sizes

Continuous random node features increase the expressivity of message-passing neural networks (MPNNs), but existing theoretical analyses are not fine-grained enough to capture their limitations, particularly in approximating functions across graph sizes or under a fixed number of random bits. We develop a population-lev...

Coordinate-Free Automatic Differentiation

Automatic differentiation (AD) is a cornerstone of modern machine learning. Since all AD frameworks implicitly fix a basis of Euclidean space to define gradients and Jacobians, they natively process mathematical objects that are arrays of a fixed set of coordinates. This makes it awkward to express objects such as rota...

Provenance-grouped protocol for evaluating machine learning in perovskite photovoltaics

This work mapped the institutional provenance of the Perovskite Database and established a rigorous hierarchy of grouped splits that progressively isolate duplicate devices, publications, and institutions, which empowers the community to separate memorisation from true physical discovery.

NV-Tesseract-AD: Curriculum-Enhanced Conditional Diffusion for Multivariate Time-Series Anomaly Detection

We propose NV-Tesseract-AD, a curriculum learning-enhanced conditional diffusion framework for multivariate time-series anomaly detection. Our central hypothesis is that reconstruction difficulty can be explicitly structured along two complementary axes, masking severity and diffusion noise level, and that training fro...

Static Gradient Attribution Underperforms a Density-Matched Random Mask on Loss-Based Forgetting Within LoRA B-Matrix

Parameter-efficient continual learning updates a restricted subset of adapter parameters to incorporate sequential tasks while limiting catastrophic forgetting. Gradient attribution is a common rule for selecting that subset, but it requires an additional backward pass over calibration data. We identify a parameter-poo...

Neural expectation-maximization and meta-models

We interpret Transformer networks as learned approximations to a hybrid probabilistic-inference procedure that combines max-product Loopy Belief Propagation (LBP) with Expectation--Maximization (EM). In this view, a Transformer performs inference in partially observed Markov Random Fields (MRFs) whose structure and par...

Kernelized Parameter Sensitivity Atlases for Amortized Conditional Interpretability

Gradient-based attribution provides input-specific information about model parameters, but computing it via backpropagation for many samples is expensive, while static importance scores discard input dependence. We derive KPSA (Kernelized Parameter Sensitivity Atlas) from a block decomposition of the empirical neural t...

A Categorical Atlas of Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning: Cones, Orbits, and Gauges

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning has hundreds of methods, usually compared by parameter count and benchmark score. We compare them as maps. A pretrained checkpoint is a base point in weight space, and a weight-space method is a smooth map from a small parameter space that starts at that point. These maps form a slice ca...

Spatial Context or Memory? Sizing the Inputs of Neural Surrogates for Partially Observed Fields

Neural surrogates that forecast a physical field from sparse, noisy sensors read a window of nearby sensors and a history of past snapshots. Practitioners choose both by comparing fitted models with each other. Such comparisons cannot tell a model's shortfall from missing information. We measure the trade-off between w...

Byzantine-Resilient Federated Large Language Model via Hypergraph Message Passing

Federated Large Language Models (FedLLMs) are promising to deliver privacy-preserving, collaborative intelligence. The decentralized training process is vulnerable to Byzantine attacks that corrupt semantic consistency and factual resilience through malicious model updates. This paper presents a new resilience strategy...

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.
