Quadratic Direct Forecast for Training Multi-Step Time-Series Forecast Models

The design of learning objectives is central to training time-series forecasting models. Existing learning objectives such as mean squared error mostly treat each future step as an independent, equally weighted task, which leads to the following two challenges: (1) they overlook the label autocorrelation effect among f...

Time-multiplexed layer reuse for physical neural networks

Physical neural networks (PNNs) are promising candidates for next-generation computing, but existing demonstrations remain several orders of magnitude smaller than modern digital neural networks, whose recent advances have been driven by rapid growth in trainable parameters. This situation resembles the constraints of...

DistDF: Time-Series Forecasting Needs Joint-Distribution Wasserstein Alignment

Training time-series forecasting models requires aligning the conditional distribution of model forecasts with that of the label sequence. The standard direct forecast (DF) approach resorts to minimizing the conditional negative log-likelihood, typically estimated by the mean squared error. However, this estimation pro...

Predicting kernel regression learning curves from only raw data statistics

We study kernel regression with common rotation-invariant kernels on real datasets including CIFAR-5m, SVHN, and ImageNet. We give a theoretical framework that predicts learning curves (test risk vs. sample size) from only two measurements: the empirical data covariance matrix and an empirical polynomial decomposition...

PiERN: Token-Level Routing for Integrating High-Precision Computation and Reasoning

Physically-isolated Experts Routing Network (PiERN), an architecture that directs computation and reasoning at token level, thereby enabling iterative alternation within a single chain of thought, is proposed, offering an efficient, interpretable, and scalable paradigm for interfacing language models with scientific sy...

Cross-Modality Controlled Molecule Generation with Diffusion Language Model

The increasing variety of molecular data creates a need for generative models that can flexibly incorporate heterogeneous constraints across modalities. However, existing SMILES-based diffusion models are typically designed for a fixed conditioning modality, and introducing new constraints often requires retraining the...

Direct Regret Optimization in Bayesian Optimization

Bayesian optimization (BO) is a powerful paradigm for optimizing expensive black-box functions. Traditional BO methods typically rely on separate hand-crafted acquisition functions and surrogate models for the underlying function, and often operate in a myopic manner. In this paper, we propose a novel direct regret opt...

Time-o1: Time-Series Forecasting Needs Transformed Label Alignment

Training time-series forecasting models poses unique challenges in loss function design. Most existing approaches adopt temporal mean squared error, but this study reveals two critical limitations: (1) it ignores the presence of label autocorrelation, which biases it from the true label sequence likelihood; (2) it invo...

KO: Kinetics-inspired Neural Optimizer with PDE Simulation Approaches

The design of effective optimization algorithms for neural networks remains a fundamental challenge, and most existing methods rely on heuristic extensions of gradient-based updates. We introduce KO (Kinetics-inspired Optimizer), a plug-and-play optimization module grounded in kinetic theory and partial differential eq...

Causal Effect Estimation under Networked Interference without Networked Unconfoundedness Assumption

Estimating causal effects under networked interference from observational data is a crucial yet challenging problem. Most existing methods mainly rely on the networked unconfoundedness assumption, which guarantees the identification of networked effects. However, this assumption is often violated due to the latent conf...
