Dense correspondence matching has historically been bounded by simplifying spatio-temporal priors, such as smooth motion and rigid geometry. While effective for classical tasks, these assumptions break down in image editing and reference-guided generation (IEG), where transformations can preserve visual identity while...

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) struggle with spatial, embodied, physical, and temporal reasoning. We hypothesize that these failures reflect a shared deficit in visual transition reasoning, and test whether this capability can serve as a shared training primitive, one that different models can learn from diff...

We study Gaussian regression under squared population $L_2$ loss in a known $m$-dimensional subspace of degree-at-most-$k$ functions on the $d$-dimensional Boolean cube. Random inputs can undersample regions essential for prediction, delaying the parametric rate even when the model is known.
For fixed $q_0<1/2$, $1\l...
While caching key-value (KV) states accelerates Large Language Model (LLM) decoding, this cache can dominate memory usage at long context lengths. One solution is to compress this memory by exploiting inter-layer cache similarities. However, most existing techniques necessitate architectural changes to LLMs and incur s...

Many tasks in scientific computing and machine learning require the Jacobian or Hessian matrix of a function. Automatic differentiation (AD) computes these derivatives to machine precision, but materializing a dense $m \times n$ Jacobian requires $n$ forward-mode or $m$ reverse-mode AD passes, one per column or row. Fo...
Spatial public goods models show that prescribed movement toward richer locations can generate spatial patterns. We ask how such patterns emerge when agents learn where to move and how learning rates shape their consequences for collective welfare. Fixed populations of cooperators and defectors independently learn move...
INLA-SPDE Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Optimization is introduced, the first scalable BO framework for spatio-temporal data, that models the log-intensity with a Log-Gaussian Cox Process and performs inference via Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation and Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (INLA-SPDE) approach.

Pre-trained transformer models are increasingly being used to study scientific and technological progress. Encoders tuned to paper or patent text outperform general-purpose models on downstream classification, regression, and proximity tasks within science and technology. However, the applicability of these models for...
Classical CUSUM relies on the log-likelihood ratio of the underlying distributions, which cannot generally be computed from finite pre- and post-change samples alone. We propose diffusion-integrated score CUSUM (DI-SCUSUM), a training-free detector. We add Gaussian noise to the samples to form two smooth density estima...

Unauthorized model distillation, in which a model is trained on the outputs of a proprietary large language model (LLM), is a growing threat to model providers. We study distillation inference: determining whether a suspect model was distilled from another model or trained independently. We formulate this problem as a...
Many key-value (KV) caches are compressed before anyone knows what will be asked of them: a document cached for retrieval, a prompt prefix shared across requests, the memory of a long conversation. The prevailing approach scores KV entries by rehearsal: the model rereads the context and keeps the entries it attends to,...
Ion correlations set the structure of polymer electrolytes and depend on the host permittivity, which is low and varies between polymers. A functional that carries these correlations from molecular simulations to larger inhomogeneous systems must transfer across domain sizes, geometries and coupling strengths. We intro...
