CoDR: Training-Free Confidence-Drift Remasking for Diffusion Language Models

CoDR (Confidence Drift Remasking), a training-free and sampler-agnostic refinement pass that estimates drift for all committed positions in only k forward passes via k-partition probing, and regenerates only the tokens the model no longer endorses.

Deep Learning-Based Tri-Hybrid Multi-User MIMO Precoding: The Blessing of EM-Reconfigurable Antennas

Electromagnetic (EM)-reconfigurable antennas provide multiple candidate radiation patterns per element, thereby introducing an additional EM-domain degree of freedom. Integrating radiation-pattern reconfigurability, realized as EM-domain precoding, with conventional hybrid analog-digital precoding yields tri-hybrid mul...

Distilling Graph Geometry: Knowledge Gap from GNNs to MLPs

GNN-to-MLP distillation aims to retain the predictive accuracy of a message-passing teacher while deploying a graph-free MLP at inference. Existing methods mainly transfer node-wise predictions or use confidence-based reweighting, but they do not specify where the student should preserve the teacher's graph-induced geo...

Why Forget-Only Unlearning Needs Memorization

Machine unlearning asks for a deletion algorithm whose output is close to retraining from scratch without the selected forget examples. In this work, we study forget-only unlearning, where the deletion algorithm receives only the trained model and the examples to forget, with no retained data or extra training informat...

Oracle-Efficient and Parameter-Free Agnostic Smoothed Online Learning

This work presents the first oracle-efficient algorithm that achieves sublinear regret in the agnostic setting without knowledge of $\mu$, based on Gaussian Follow-The-Perturbed-Leader, which is parameter-free and establishes the regret bound.

NeuralBES: A Differentiable, Control-Aware Emulator for Scalable Building Energy Modeling

On the annual full-year rollout, NeuralBES is the only data-conditioned model that is simultaneously physics-valid and accurate to within 4 MAPE points of the strongest raw-error baseline, while operating at roughly an order of magnitude fewer parameters than the transformer and recurrent baselines.

Seq-Flow: Efficient Probabilistic Forecasting with Self-Rollout Error Control

Many scientific forecasting tasks require updating a distribution over future trajectories as new observations arrive. Conventional diffusion and flow models generate each forecast from Gaussian noise, often at the cost of many sampling steps. Warm-start methods reuse earlier predictions to reduce this cost, but their...

Which Rollout Taught It That? BehaviorTrace and the Limits of Training-Data Attribution in Online RL

When reinforcement learning teaches a language model a new behavior, can we find the training rollouts that taught it? And when an attribution method says it can, how do we know the answer is real? We study both questions on online RL fine-tuning with GRPO, using a planted behavior with a known cause. We release Behavi...

Cross-Domain Pretraining for Steady-State Neural CFD Surrogates

This work finds that cross-domain pretraining improves zero- and few-shot performance on held-out datasets relative to both training from scratch and transferring from domain-specific experts, and finds that simply pooling steady-state datasets is both sufficient and effective.

Executing Causal Structure Learning with Linear-Attention Transformers

Transformers can execute algorithms on data given in their input. We ask whether they can do the same for causal discovery. We study a standard continuous method that repeatedly updates a candidate causal graph while enforcing acyclicity. We explicitly construct a fixed-weight transformer whose forward pass exactly rep...

Kernel Autoresearch for Open-Ended Model Discovery

Kernels encode the inductive bias of a wide range of machine learning models, yet automated kernel design faces a fundamental dilemma. A fixed grammar of base kernels and operators guarantees validity but limits the search to structures expressible by those building blocks. Conversely, unrestricted programs remove this...
