VFold: Symmetry-Aware Cross-Layer Value Cache Compression

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...

asdex: Automatic Sparse Differentiation in JAX

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 Pattern Formation from Multi-Agent Learning in Public Goods Dilemmas

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...

ISBO: Scalable Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Optimization with Log Gaussian Cox Process Models via the INLA-SPDE Approach

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.

SciTBERT: A family of chronologically consistent language models for scientific and technological language processing

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...

Quickest Change Detection with Diffusion-Integrated Scores

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...

Poster: A Preliminary Study of LLM Distillation Inference

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...

Rehearse Everything, Remember Nothing: Attic-KV Rehearses What Will Be Read

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,...

A neural density functional for polymer electrolytes with exact structure and transferable Coulomb coupling

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...

Could LLM Watermark Detection be Public?

This work quantifies whether a public detector would be an additional liability in a deployment setting at varying levels of access, and introduces a split-key public-private watermarking method that exposes one key through a public detector while keeping the other for full verification and forensics.

DVLA-RL++: Dual-Level Vision-Language Alignment with Reinforcement Learning Gating for Few-Shot Learning

Few-shot learning aims to recognize novel categories from limited labeled examples. Recent studies incorporate textual semantics to compensate for limited visual observations and improve class representations. However, high image-text agreement may reflect both intrinsic object properties and incidental context, making...

Differentiable Systematic Resampling for Variational Sequential Monte Carlo

Particle filters are a standard tool for nonlinear state estimation, but their resampling step is discrete, preventing gradient-based learning in variational sequential Monte Carlo. We introduce Differentiable Systematic Resampling (DSR), a temperature-controlled relaxation of systematic resampling, that preserves the...

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.
