A Variational Latent-Space Framework for Uncertainty-Aware Spectral Image Emulation

Synthetic spectral image generation is essential for remote sensing simulation and mission design, yet physically based radiative transfer models (RTMs) remain computationally expensive. Existing learning-based emulators reduce this cost, but are mostly deterministic parameter-to-spectrum regressors with limited spatia...

Vectorizing the Trie: Efficient Constrained Decoding for LLM-based Generative Retrieval on Accelerators

Generative retrieval has emerged as a powerful paradigm for LLM-based recommendation. However, industrial recommender systems often benefit from restricting the output space to a constrained subset of items based on business logic (e.g. enforcing content freshness or product category), which standard autoregressive dec...

Fluids You Can Trust: Property-Preserving Operator Learning for Incompressible Flows

We present a novel property-preserving kernel-based operator learning method for incompressible flows governed by the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. Traditional numerical solvers incur significant computational costs to respect incompressibility. Operator learning offers efficient surrogate models, but curren...

Activation-Informed Pareto-Guided Low-Rank Compression for Efficient LLM/VLM

Large language models (LLM) and vision-language models (VLM) have achieved state-of-the-art performance, but they impose significant memory and computing challenges in deployment. We present a novel low-rank compression framework to address this challenge. First, we upper bound the change of network loss via layer-wise...

Circuit realization and hardware linearization of monotone operator equilibrium networks

It is shown that the port behavior of a resistor-diode network corresponds to the solution of a ReLU monotone operator equilibrium network (a neural network in the limit of infinite depth), giving a parsimonious construction of a neural network in analog hardware. We furthermore show that the gradient of such a circuit...

Persistence Paradox in Dynamic Science: Evidence from the Deep Learning Revolution

Persistence is often regarded as a virtue in science. In this paper, however, we challenge this conventional view by highlighting its contextual nature, particularly how persistence can become a liability during paradigm shifts. We focus on the deep learning revolution catalyzed by AlexNet in 2012. Analyzing the 20-yea...

Allocation Stability and Wald Inference under Variance-Aware UCB

Allocation stability is often used to justify Gaussian inference from bandit data, but when is it necessary? In this paper, we address this question for a two-armed, fixed-horizon variance-aware UCB policy with bounded reward distributions that may vary with the horizon. We find a sharp criterion in terms of the reward...

What do Reward Models Memorize?

This paper studies what discriminatively trained reward models (RMs) memorize by measuring counterfactual memorization on two human preference datasets. We show that RMs 1) misallocate memorization to easy, high margin preference pairs, 2) memorize dataset-specific shortcuts (e.g., model identity, user sampling strateg...

Directional Curvature from Armijo Backtracking: A Low-Cost Sharpness Probe and a Calibration-Free Learning-Rate Safeguard for Adam

Local sharpness, defined by the largest Hessian eigenvalue $\lambda_1$, sets the maximum stable gradient update size, but its computation would usually require running Lanczos or Hessian-vector products. However, we notice that even a single Armijo backtracking line search already contains this information with just a...

Evaluating Time Series Foundation Models for Electricity Price Forecasting: Contamination Risk, Distributional Shifts, and Covariate Dependence

Time series foundation models (TSFMs) have shown strong zero-shot forecasting performance, but their generalization in covariate-driven, non-stationary settings is underexplored. Electricity price forecasting (EPF) presents a challenging testbed due to complex temporal dependencies, distributional shifts, and strong re...
