FC-SWE: Failure-Conditioned RL for Long-Horizon Software Engineering Agents

Repository-level software engineering (SWE) is a challenging long-horizon setting: agents must reason over extended interactions, use tools, and adapt to stateful environments. Recent work trains SWE agents with reinforcement learning methods such as Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), which independently sample...

Label-Efficient Deep Learning for ECG Delineation: A Multi-Dataset Benchmark against Widely Used Delineation Tools

Electrocardiogram (ECG) delineation, the identification of waveform boundaries, is a foundational step that translates raw ECG signals into clinically interpretable measurements. Deep learning has advanced this task but remains dependent on costly expert annotations. Label-efficient strategies such as self-supervised p...

On-Policy Distillation with Negative-Policy Rollouts

On-policy distillation (OPD) has been widely studied as a post-training method in which a student model obtains token-level supervision from a stronger teacher on its own rollouts. Recent studies have improved OPD through alternative distillation reward formulations and teacher configurations, while the objective of di...

Tram-FL: Reducing Communication and Computation Costs through Sequential Model Circulation in Decentralized Federated Learning

Conventional decentralized federated learning (DFL) often focuses on clients, with each client maintaining a model copy, performing updates individually, and undertaking model exchange and integration. While fully leveraging computational resources can shorten training times, it can also lead to significant computation...

A Decision-Focused Neural Optimization Framework for Personalized Route Reproduction from Vehicle Trajectories

This study formulates individual route reproduction as a shortest-path problem over learned driver-specific latent link costs. The central idea is that, once such latent costs are inferred from contextual information, observed routes can be reproduced without enumerating alternative route sets. We propose a neural pipe...

Lost in the bf16 Cast: Exporting Ternary Language Models Can Revert Most Low-Learning-Rate Code Changes

In two model families, randomized interventions on the initial distance from the threshold support distance-dependent selection of the codes that fine-tuning changes, and in two model families, randomized interventions on the initial distance from the threshold support distance-dependent selection of the codes that fin...

Privileged Context as Drift in On-Policy Self-Distillation

On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) trains a language model to match a copy of itself conditioned on privileged context. Existing work varies what privileged context contains and how it is produced while also changing models, data, and training setups, making the effects of privileged context design difficult to isolate...

Retrieval Is Not Enough: Refreshing Memory for Frozen Time-Series Forecasters

Retrieval-augmented time-series forecasting uses the continuations of historical segments similar to the current context as references for a forecaster. Most existing methods build the retrieval memory once from the training segment, leaving observations revealed after deployment unavailable as references, and generall...

CANDLE: Cortical Null-Space Decomposition for Noninvasive Brain Source Imaging

Electrophysiological source imaging (ESI) aims to estimate cortical source activity from noninvasive electrophysiological measurements such as electroencephalogram (EEG). However, ESI is fundamentally ill-posed because source activity is substantially higher-dimensional than sensor observations, resulting in non-unique...

$\alpha$Transfer: Coefficient Transfer for Efficient Model Merging

Model merging offers a promising solution for combining multiple fine-tuned checkpoints into a single model through parameter arithmetic. However, finding optimal merging coefficients requires an extensive search that becomes prohibitively expensive as models scale in both size and number, due to high memory requiremen...

SIFT: Search Intent-to-Filter Transformer for Multi-Task Personalized Filter Ranking at Airbnb

Search filters help guests navigate vast catalogs in two-sided marketplaces like Airbnb, and recommending the right filters can meaningfully lift booking conversion. Many such production filter-ranking systems, however, represent the guest through hand-engineered, pre-aggregated features generated by ETL pipelines. Thi...
