ProtocolMatch: Protocol-Dependent Model Selection for Scientific Dynamics Forecasting

Scientific dynamics forecasting is often framed as an architecture choice, although deployment is also determined by observed history, rollout feedback, compute budget, physical objective, and test distribution. We formulate protocol-dependent model selection and introduce ProtocolMatch, a compute-matched, validation-s...

Evaluating Sequence Assembly Strategies for Differentially Private Synthetic Time-Series Forecasting

Differentially private time-series generators commonly produce fixed-length synthetic windows, whereas downstream forecasting models often require long continuous training sequences. How these windows are assembled after generation can therefore alter the effective synthetic data presented to a forecaster, even when th...

Finite-Sample Approximation of Hessian-Guided Perturbed Wasserstein Gradient Flows

Wasserstein gradient flow extends gradient descent to probability measures. Its Hessian-guided perturbed variant (PWGF) adds Gaussian perturbations to escape saddle points in nonconvex problems. We investigate when its approximation by finitely many interacting particles remains accurate over growing time horizons. Our...

OrthoGen: A Generative Orthogonal Learner for Time-Varying Treatments

Estimating conditional distributional potential outcomes (CDPOs) over time is important in medicine (e.g., to estimate patient-specific risks under different treatment sequences). However, this task is challenging because of time-varying confounding, yet existing adjustment strategies for this task are limited. In this...

How to train your model organism

Model organisms of alignment-relevant behaviors (e.g., backdoors, sycophancy, spurious correlations) have emerged as a key tool for evaluating whitebox interpretability techniques. We argue that the prevailing practice of training model organisms to a single objective of installing the target behavior is insufficient a...

Robust Decentralized Fairness Auditing

Emerging legislation requires large language models (LLMs) to be audited for compliance with regulatory standards, particularly fairness. Such black-box audits typically assume a single auditor with access to a large, representative set of queries. In practice, it can be difficult for an auditor to obtain such a query...

Pre-training of Bayesian Optimization Algorithm through Bayesian Optimization

A framework for optimizing parameters using sample paths drawn from a Gaussian process inferred from the information available at the start of BO, which can effectively select parameter configurations that achieve strong performance among a range of candidate configurations.

A Unified Information-Theoretic Approach to Constrained Multi-Fidelity Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization

Bayesian optimization often involves multiple objectives, constraints, and fidelity levels. We address the challenge of jointly selecting where and at which fidelity to evaluate to identify the highest-fidelity feasible Pareto frontier in this combined setting. From a unified information-theoretic perspective, we measu...

m-Set Adversarial Bandits with Winner Feedback

We show upper and lower bounds on the regret of $m$-set adversarial bandits for different utilities (winner reward or sum of rewards) and feedback models (winner index, winner reward, sum of rewards, and their combinations). By comparing to standard bounds for combinatorial and MNL bandits, our results reveal how subtl...

What Can a Gaussian Process Design Test

A Gaussian process (GP) model can agree with the data for two reasons: its assumptions are right, or the chosen inputs could never have shown that they are wrong. The distinction can be checked from the design before any responses are observed. Every model implies relations that its noiseless responses must satisfy at...

YANchor-4B: Effective Long-Horizon Reasoning in O(N) Time with O(1) Memory

Long-horizon reasoning demands access to earlier information at a manageable generation cost. Full-history attention incurs growing storage and computation, while recurrent compression can lose precise details. Therefore, we present YANchor-4B, a general-purpose recurrent model that preserves crucial memory as ANchors...
