Explainable Rule Mining of IPv6 Extension-Header Presence Patterns from Paired-Vantage Captures

An interpretable temporal-logic rule miner is used to recover a portable Fragment-EH rule that the protocol reveals to be a within-packet, near-definitional co-occurrence rather than a temporal pattern, so the temporal-logic machinery does no work for this dominant rule.

ProximalFM: Amortized Proximal Causal Inference under Hidden Confounding

Standard causal identification methods often assume no unmeasured confounding and can fail when relevant confounders are unobserved. Proximal causal inference instead uses proxy variables to identify effects under hidden confounding. However, nonparametric proximal estimation can be challenging in practice: recovering...

Self-Retrospection Distillation: Turning Post-hoc Experiences into Prior Foresight

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) turns agent experience into learning signals primarily through scalar outcome rewards after interaction. For group-relative objectives, however, this signal vanishes when all rollouts receive the same reward, even though their trajectories may reveal useful informat...

Language Carries the Expert's Impression: Instrument-Anchored LLM Judges Transfer Counseling-Quality Assessment and Beat In-Domain Training

Automatic assessment of communication quality in dyadic counseling conversations is bottlenecked by data: expert-rated corpora are small and expensive to grow. We study cross-domain transfer of expert overall-impression prediction across three German corpora of simulated counseling (two general-practice medical, one sc...

DAEDALUS: Bootstrapping Agent Memory from Self-Generated Tasks

DAEDALUS is presented, a method for bootstrapping reusable agent memory from self-generated practice without existing tasks or oracle verifiers, and it is shown that performance gains already emerge with a small exploration budget, and that its heuristics also benefit agents from other model families.

Learning consistent molecular mechanics force fields from first principles

Classical force fields (FFs) remain the workhorse for large-scale simulations even as machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) approach ab initio accuracy. They decompose total configuration energies into simple effective interactions whose parameters are traditionally assigned based on atom or bond types, enabli...

FOSLS-deRhaNN: native de Rham neural classes for H(div) and H(curl) with applications to first-order system least-squares neural network methods for partial differential equations

We construct neural approximation classes native to the graph spaces H(div) and H(curl), in two and three dimensions and, for H(div), in any dimension. Every realization lies in the space for all parameter values, and with kinked potentials, such as ReLU networks, the admissible jumps appear at finite width. The classe...

Feature Encoding in VAE-based Audio Decoders: Effects of Input, Depth and Distribution

Neural audio synthesis models like the Realtime Audio Variational autoEncoder (RAVE) achieve impressive genera tion quality, yet how their internal representations encode musical features remains poorly understood. We present a systematic layer-wise and cross-layer cluster analysis of RAVE decoder activations across th...

Isotropic Yet Undecodable: The Sequential Content-Sufficiency Gap in Latent-Predictive Text Representations

We study sequential content sufficiency by investigating whether a representation retains the ordered target information available in its input. An information-theoretic decomposition separates input ambiguity, representation loss, and readout mismatch. We construct recoverable views where perfect agreement and joint i...

Rethinking Faithfulness in LLMs: A Pairwise Context-Sensitive Perspective

Large language models (LLMs) are expected to answer questions faithfully based on the provided context, abstaining when the context information is insufficient to answer the questions. Existing faithfulness evaluations typically assess each question-context instance in isolation; however, such instance-level evaluation...

Learned Adaptive Multiresolution Diffusion Imaging

Adaptive multiresolution methods reduce representation cost by concentrating fine-scale degrees of freedom where needed, but their tree updates are usually governed by fixed local criteria. We introduce Learned Adaptive Multiresolution Diffusion Imaging (Learned AMDI), which preserves the AMDI fixed-tree propagator and...

ReFold: Training-Free Reversible Inter-Turn Context Folding for Long-Horizon Agents

Long-horizon LLM agents act on an append-only interaction history that is re-sent to the model at every step, so the context and its cost grow with steps until the sessions exceed the context window. Existing methods manage the context through context requirement prediction, relying on additional model calls, heuristic...
