Revisiting Identity and Spectra Dispersion in Media-Bridged Time Series Forecasting: Linking Multivariate Signals and Narrative Flows

Media-bridged time series forecasting is expanding to encompass traditional "multivariate" and emerging "multimodal" (e.g., through textual assistance). Existing Time Series Forecasting (TSF) models still rely on paradigm-specific relation, fusion, and temporal modules, hindering a common forecasting backbone across nu...

Cost-Aware Mixture-of-Experts Coordination for Model Markets

Existing model marketplaces typically trade and select individual models as indivisible units, limiting their ability to exploit complementarities among heterogeneous experts. This paper proposes an MoE-based model market framework that lifts Mixture-of-Experts from a model-level learning architecture to a market-level...

RobustLDS: Learning linear dynamical systems under adversarial corruptions

We consider the problem of learning linear dynamical systems under adversarial contamination from a single trajectory of length $T$. While identification of linear dynamical systems itself is well-studied, the problem of robust system identification under adversarial contamination is relatively less explored. In this w...

Learning structured linear dynamical systems from missing observations

We consider the problem of learning structured linear dynamical systems over convex sets $\mathcal{K}$, where only a small subset of the observations are available at each time point. An estimator which minimizes a bias-corrected, potentially non-convex objective function is proposed. Non-asymptotic bounds are obtained...

Conditional Kernel Stein Discrepancy

Kernel Stein discrepancies (KSDs) provide a versatile tool for comparing distributions. One of their main applications is in quantifying the goodness-of-fit (GoF) between a data-generating distribution and a prescribed target distribution. In this work, we study the related problem of conditional GoF quantification: gi...

Open-Vocabulary Audio-Visual Event Localization via Complex-Valued Fusion

Open-Vocabulary Audio-Visual Event Localization (OV-AVEL) labels each video segment with an event class, including classes that were never seen during training. The dominant pipeline uses a frozen multimodal foundation model (e.g. ImageBind) to embed the visual frame, the audio mel-spectrogram, and each candidate class...

Softmax Attention on Gaussian Mixtures: Linear When It Can, Selective When It Must

Softmax attention, at the heart of Transformers, has demonstrated remarkable capabilities. Yet its underlying mechanisms remain only partially understood. Recent theoretical work studies Gaussian prompts, where the infinite-prompt limit reduces softmax attention to a linear map, but also removes the query-dependent sel...

Optimal random quantisers for spherically symmetric distributions

Zador's celebrated theorem is a cornerstone of optimal quantisation: it establishes both the weak limit of the empirical distribution of an optimal $n$-point quantiser in $R^d$ and the decay rate of the associated $L_s$-mean quantisation error. In large dimension, however, observing this asymptotic behaviour requires a...

Beyond QAOA: A Review of AI and Quantum Computing for Adaptive Combinatorial Optimization

Near-term quantum approaches to combinatorial optimization are limited by qubit counts, circuit fidelity, sampling cost, and the difficulty of encoding constraints, while machine learning is increasingly used to configure and control quantum optimization workflows. We call such workflows adaptive: decisions conventiona...

$\sigma$Transfer: Uncertainty Transfer from Small to Large Networks under $\mu\mathrm{P}$

Reliable predictive uncertainty in Laplace approximations depends critically on the prior precision, yet selecting it requires a posterior sweep that is prohibitively expensive for neural networks with billions of parameters. Under the Maximal Update Parametrization ($\mu\mathrm{P}$), we derive a rescaling of the prior...

Phonologically Informed Tokenization for German Speech Recognition: A Cross-Domain Study

German is a morphologically rich language whose syllable structure is exceptionally well-predicted by the Knuth--Liang hyphenation algorithm. We ask whether phonologically informed tokenization can serve as a competitive target for end-to-end speech recognition. We compare three tokenizer families on the Omnilingual AS...

Minimax Gaussian Mechanisms for Continual Machine Unlearning

Machine unlearning updates a trained model after records are deleted, aiming to match exact retraining without repeating the full training procedure. We develop Gaussian mechanisms for Newton updates under sequential deletion requests. Using Gaussian differential privacy (GDP) and its adaptive composition rule, we show...

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.
