Unlearning in large reasoning models (LRMs) requires removing forget-set information from both the reasoning trace and the final answer. Existing approaches achieve this objective at the cost of reasoning collapse, where the model fails to produce a coherent chain-of-thought (CoT) and does not properly terminate its re...
Ego-trajectory prediction in urban roadway work zones remains an underexplored topic in autonomous-driving research, with limited dedicated data and systematic evaluation. Roadway work zones involve temporary changes in the lane layouts and connectivity of the roads, complicating interactions with surrounding vehicles...

Forecasting rare, high-cost events in multivariate time-series systems is hard because their precursors are seldom observed, so a purely data-driven model has little to learn from. The engineers who run these systems, however, hold knowledge that precedes such events, information absent from the scarce labels. We call...

Language model agents increasingly operate over long interaction streams, requiring online adaptation to distribution shifts through continual learning. However, existing agent harnesses typically either evolve their states only through forward information flow or rely on additional replay or validation data for harnes...

Efficient autoregressive generation is increasingly limited by the memory footprint of the key-value (KV) cache, which grows linearly with sequence length, batch size, and model depth. Existing approaches such as Multi-Query Attention (MQA), Grouped-Query Attention (GQA), Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA), and Tensor P...

The results support pretrained TimesFM as a strong initial forecasting baseline for this building, with XGBoost as a competitive locally fitted alternative as a competitive locally fitted alternative.

Autoregressive decoding is less suited to non-causally ordered data, e.g., cross-references or future dependencies, since their outputs cannot be revised post hoc, unlike iterative human reasoning. Diffusion LLMs partially mitigate this limitation but still cannot flexibly insert or remove arbitrary numbers of tokens f...

A greedy, density-scaled composition algorithm is proposed that overcomes limitations of previous attempts to compose circuits by naive union, then generalize it to $N$ circuits via CircuitTree, a new data structure built on a $\Theta(N\log N)$ tree-compose schedule.
Small language models trained on a single local machine leave little room for architectural trial and error. Kairos combines bidirectional gated-DeltaNet linear attention and sliding-window attention over shared projections (LiZAttention2), block-wise Attention-Residual aggregation, a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) fe...
Vision-language-action (VLA) models increasingly incorporate intermediate reasoning to improve robotic manipulation, yet existing approaches primarily reason about observed states without explicitly anticipating future scene evolution. Extending such reasoning to explicit future rollouts at every inference step, howeve...

On-policy self-distillation promises to replace the sparse outcome signal of verifiable-reward RL with dense token-level credit: a teacher conditioned on the reference solution scores the student's own rollout, and the resulting distributional shift is distilled back into the policy. We investigate whether this scoring...

Long-context serving runs out of KV memory before the hardware reaches its useful throughput. HiSparse stores history in host memory and fetches only the selected entries, but it uses one cache budget at every load and does not handle draft-model speculative decoding such as DSpark and DFlash2. We present Adaptive DHiS...
