Sampling transitions between metastable states is a central problem in dynamical systems theory and molecular dynamics in particular. A key challenge is the existence of high free-energy barriers that separate the states, making transitions extremely rare. Recent machine learning-based methods cast transition path samp...
Accurate forecasting models are usually large, expensive to update online, and fixed in architecture once trained. We apply ONE-NAS, an online neuroevolutionary architecture search that evolves a population of small recurrent networks as each window of data arrives, to daily cross-sectional stock return prediction, and...
A theoretical understanding of multi-head self-attention is fundamental to the study of modern neural networks. Using random matrix theory, we establish Gaussian equivalence for multi-head self-attention: replacing softmax attention with rescaled scores plus Gaussian noise preserves the limiting spectral law of the cen...
Understanding the extent to which measured synaptic wiring determines computation remains a central challenge. Here, we couple the proofread adult Drosophila melanogaster connectome to an anatomically faithful model of its eye. Visual information is inputted in the eye model, then passed to the connectome, and finally...

Mutual information (MI) provides an objective for suppressing or encouraging statistical dependence in implicit generative models. However, direct MI evaluation is challenging in implicit models due to typically intractable densities. A remedy is estimating the generator gradient from the difference between conditional...
We study a sequential pricing problem in which a seller jointly posts a price and an advertisement generated by a large language model (LLM). The seller aims to maximize revenue under an unknown product demand that depends on both decisions, while observing only whether each offer leads to a purchase. We propose an onl...
While binary classification is one of the most extensively studied problems in machine learning, the regime in which the goal is to learn a classifier with an almost zero false negative rate remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we introduce the Extreme Binary Classification problem, where the objective is to...
Probing the hypothesis space after seeing the data remains valid under possibilistic inferential models (IMs), provided the significance level stays fixed. The price is computation, as each plausibility is a supremum of the possibility contour over the hypothesis, and the contour itself is approximated at each queried...
Reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning improves vision-language-action (VLA) policies through closed-loop experience, yet generalization beyond the fine-tuning distribution remains limited. Our analysis reveals a selective reshaping of exploration: RL contracts behavior globally, yet diversifies successful trajectorie...
Assessing compound weather risks requires forecasts representing dependence between variables. CLARA (Calibrated Advection-Routing Attention) learns joint Gaussian predictive distributions of five surface variables from station observations alone, without numerical weather prediction or reanalysis; the approximately 28...
Bayesian neural networks need not be fully stochastic to be universal conditional density approximators, but it remains open which parameters should be stochastic. We learn this split by applying deep weight factorization to the prior scales, which are the standard deviations of the parameter priors, while fitting the...
Standard information retrieval metrics, such as mean Average Precision (mAP), assess performance one query at a time, based on how the similarities between a query and its positives compare against those with its negatives. The same holds for common representation learning losses, such as InfoNCE and per-query AP surro...

Exploring how generative AI could make machine vision more accessible to businesses. The post GenEye in a Box: Making Machine Vision Something You Can Just Ask For appeared first on GPT-Lab.
Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.
The effort aims to help U.S. learners from kindergarten to community college, with an emphasis on math, making, and the constructive use of AI.
Associate Professor Cathy Wu uses reinforcement learning to help map out improvements to transportation and other multifaceted systems.
