Lack of effective authentication has resulted in numerous security and privacy breaches, including unauthorized access to protected information, identity theft, and fraud. One approach to mitigating such attacks is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), in which users must provide multiple pieces of information for authent...
Linear attention is a tractable model for understanding the mechanisms governing in-context learning in transformers. For linear regression tasks, recent asymptotic analyses have characterised its learning and generalisation behaviour. We extend this theory to nonlinear single-index targets, $y=f(x^\top w)+\varepsilon...

Forecasting resale prices of used electronics is critical for subscription-based platforms where pricing errors translate directly into risk. Unlike structured financial markets, second-hand electronics exhibit high volatility, sparse listing histories, and non-normal price dynamics - yet no systematic time-series benc...

Accurately simulating chaotic quantum many-body dynamics remains a major computational challenge for classical methods, due to the rapid buildup and spatial spreading of entanglement during the evolution. This raises the question of whether machine learning can provide an effective alternative for predicting quantum dy...

Bioacoustics and ethology encompass a wide range of audio understanding tasks, many of which stand to benefit from recent advances in large audio-language models. However, progress in the field has so far been assessed on a narrow set of tasks, primarily centered on label-centric biological category recognition, such a...

Diffusion samplers can reduce computation by generating selected spectral coordinates and filling the remaining directions with noise. How many directions must they retain? We study this question for data with power-law covariance spectra. For Gaussian data compared to a smoothed target, we prove matching bounds on the...

Looped Language Models (LoopLMs) provide a parameter efficient approach to scaling model capabilities through repeated use of shared parameters across recurrent steps. Since each recurrent depth can be read out independently, a single LoopLM exposes a broader output space across inference depths, raising an important q...

Choosing which information to observe is central to prediction under limited observation budgets. We study JevForest, a feature acquisition policy that aggregates path-dependent proposals from bootstrapped trees, weights them by global training information gain, and predicts from the acquired values with a shared maske...
Steinke and Zakynthinou(2020) introduces the Conditional Mutual Information (CMI) framework of analyzing the information complexity of learning algorithms based on algorithm-dependent information-theoretic quantities. We study one of these quantities, the evaluated Conditional Mutual Information (eCMI). It has been an...
3D Gaussian Splatting has evolved from static reconstruction toward physics-integrated representations meant to predict how scenes change under interaction. This creates an evaluation problem: a rollout can look plausible while relying on incorrect internal mechanics, and visual agreement with observed motion does not...
Spaced repetition software schedules reviews with a memory model fit to review logs. Accuracy on a test set is not sufficient evidence of quality since available data are produced by existing schedulers, and new solutions must extrapolate beyond them. A model also needs a simple mechanistic interpretation. We present S...
Quantizing AdamW's optimizer states reduces persistent storage, but quantization errors propagate through the moment recurrences and perturb subsequent adaptive updates. We redesign 4-bit optimizer-state quantization for AdamW from the perspective of \emph{rounding space}: the coordinate in which a quantizer chooses be...

Prabha Jha used her experience with MIT Open Learning’s program for senior executives to develop AI solutions for her employer, Verizon, and to write a book.
Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
