Anchored Langevin dynamics (ALD) is useful for non-smooth sampling where the density of the target distribution is possibly non-differentiable and heavy-tailed; reflected anchored Langevin dynamics (RALD) can sample possibly non-differentiable target density on a constrained domain. In this paper, we propose and study...

Knowledge tracing (KT) models need many logged learners, so a new course or platform starts without a usable model. In LLM-based KT the LLM generates the answer, which we call System-Two; it is either fine-tuned on the target data or reasons and votes over ten samples, which is slow and gives coarse probabilities. We a...
Time Series Language Models (TSLMs) offer a promising path toward time series understanding by reasoning over temporal signals and producing natural language answers and explanations. A common approach is Chain-of-Thought (CoT), which generates step-by-step rationales linking relevant signal patterns to final answers....

The kernel bandit problem consists of sequentially optimizing an unknown function with noisy feedback, where the function has bounded norm in a given Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS). A central quantity in the regret analysis of kernel bandits is the maximum information gain $\gamma_T$. In particular, the best e...

Multimodal classification processes and relates information from multiple modalities to achieve more accurate predictions. However, existing methods typically rely on high-quality ground-truth labels, which are difficult to obtain in real-world scenarios. While sample-selection methods for learning with noisy labels ai...
Multiple institutions may each hold their own private knowledge edits and wish to integrate them into a single large language model without sharing raw edit requests. Null-space-constrained editing methods such as AlphaEdit mathematically guarantee that each update leaves unrelated knowledge intact, while collaborative...
Skillful prediction of biomass-burning activity several days in advance is important for air-quality forecasting and aerosol prediction. Two operational constraints motivate this work. First, the GBBEPx satellite fire radiative power (FRP) product used to initialize NOAA's GEFS-Aerosols is available with about a 1.5-da...

Reconstructing spatially resolved plasma dynamics from few sensors is essential for diagnostics, reduced-order modelling and control, yet remains difficult because the sparse measurements incompletely constrain multiscale, regime-dependent degrees of freedom. The Shallow Recurrent Decoder (SHRED) partially addresses sp...
Image retrieval methods often rely on a single global semantic descriptor extracted from an image, e.g., the [CLS] token in vision transformers. However, trying to squeeze all the semantic information of an image into a single descriptor can hurt downstream retrieval performance, especially for fine-grained retrieval t...

Unified multimodal diffusion large language models (dLLMs) offer a single architecture for both image generation and multimodal understanding, but their iterative decoding requires tens to hundreds of forward passes. Existing few-step distillation methods largely focus on either image generation or text generation, mak...

Large language models (LLMs) are entering wildfire management, where overstated evaluations can cost property and lives. How do they perform on wildfire tasks, with and without grounding? Bare means a model receives the task input alone. Grounded means it also receives one task-specific addition: for smoke detection, a...

We present GHARP (Real-time Gaussian Head Animation from Large-scale Reconstruction Prior), a method that animates 3D human heads in real time from a few input images of a subject and a driving expression signal. We decouple the problem into an identity stage that builds a representation of the subject's geometry and a...
