RideBench: A Large-Scale Exogenous-Aware Benchmark for Ride-Hailing Time Series Forecasting

We release Ride-Hailing, a large-scale ride-hailing time series dataset synthesized from DiDi's marketplace data across 200 spatial areas. Ride-Hailing spans four consecutive years at half-hourly granularity and covers three representative exogenous scenarios: Weather Disturbance, Holiday Effect, and Large-scale Event...

Do LLMs Learn from Rewards in Context? : Rethinking the role of reward in In-Context RL

LLM agents increasingly improve at inference time by accumulating experience in context rather than by updating parameters. This process is often described as in-context reinforcement learning (ICRL). Whether in-context learning (ICL) can actually play the role of RL, however, has not been tested. We study this questio...

Ranking Prior Alignment for Credit Risk Modeling: When Do External Priors Matter?

Cold-start credit scoring -- deploying models with scarce labeled data, weak features, or minimal capacity -- is a recurring problem in financial machine learning. When a new lending product launches, labeled default data is scarce, feature pipelines are immature, and models must be deployed with minimal capacity to av...

QUILT: Rethinking Sparse-Attention Prefill through Shared Query Execution

Sparse attention reduces the cost of long-context attention, but existing kernels typically process queries independently, repeatedly loading and dequantizing KV entries shared across queries. We observe substantial overlap in the KV entries selected by neighboring queries, creating opportunities for cross-query reuse....

Machine Learning Optimization for Enhanced OS Fingerprinting

Operating System (OS) Fingerprinting is a technique that can be used to identify a network's operating systems by evaluating network traffic in the form of TCP/IP packets. This research will explore the effectiveness of passively identifying operating systems on the CIC-IDS2017 dataset, a collection of over 47 gigabyte...

Dynamics as Code: On Model Compression via Dynamic System

The escalating size of pretrained neural networks has rendered model compression a prerequisite for deployment under stringent memory and compute constraints. With the irrational winding as an example, earlier work introduced a dynamic system (DS) paradigm that reconceptualizes compression as compact weight representat...

Cova-PINN: Cross-Domain Conservation Physics-Informed Neural Network for Fluid-Solid Conjugate Heat Transfer in Complex Geometries

Multi-domain physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) flexibly model medium-specific representations to solve fluid--solid conjugate heat transfer (CHT). However, standard multi-domain PINNs enforce governing equations and interface conditions on separately sampled domain supports, which can yield plausible temperature...

DaCe-DT: Data-Centric Offline Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning via Adaptive Prompts and Trajectory Correction for Heterogeneous Tasks

Offline multi-task reinforcement learning (Offline MTRL) heavily depends on the quality and distribution of pre-collected data. However, existing methods mainly focus on algorithmic optimization, with less emphasis on data-level improvements to enhance learning ability and generalization performance. This paper, from a...

Optimally Pacing Budget Spending and Learning

It is shown that the technique extends to various problems in online resource allocation, where the learner gets to see the rewards and costs of the current options available to them, and establish near-optimal regret bounds when fractional allocation is allowed.

CityDeploy-Bench: Benchmarking Physics-Grounded Spatial Set Planning for Multi-Transmitter Network Deployment

Automating city-scale wireless deployment remains challenging under complex urban propagation and network-wide interference. We introduce \textbf{CityDeploy-Bench}, a benchmark that reframes multi-transmitter deployment as \emph{physics-grounded spatial set planning} under a unified ray-tracing verifier. The benchmark...

Measuring and Mitigating Solution Mode Collapse in RLVR

A language model (LM) can usually answer the same question in more than one way, but reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) is indifferent to which correct answer a model produces. A solution will earn the same reward whether it is the thousandth copy of a familiar answer or one the model has never produ...

Low-rank tensor structure of precipitation and its application to satellite-reference merging

The intermittent and variable nature of precipitation makes its accurate estimation over extended domains difficult, yet its spatiotemporal structure suggests that a low-rank representation may be possible. This work represents daily precipitation over the contiguous United States (CONUS) as spatiotemporal tensors and...
