Optimal-transport couplings have been shown to reduce training variance in unconditional flow models, but their role in conditional generation remains unclear. A natural approach constructs separate couplings for each condition, but this is impractical for large or continuous conditioning spaces found in modern image f...

This work proposes GRADE (GRadient-Aligned Data-centric rEcipe), a data-centric framework combining two mechanisms: a state-aware selector that continually admits samples aligned with the evolving multi-task gradient field, and a self-calibrating step-level gate that rejects updates likely to cause destructive overwrit...

Random access (RA) is one of the most foundational medium access control (MAC) layer scheduling schemes for handling unpredictable data traffic from multiple terminals. While multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) has been explored to optimize RA-based wireless networks, its reliance on experience-driven, distribute...

Robotic systems often exhibit unstable modes, along which small perturbations and disturbances can cause unbounded growth unless corrected through feedback. Controlling such systems from high-dimensional visual observations requires representations that preserve these modes. Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JE...

Wave-based processors promise fast, energy-efficient Fourier layers for neural operators. They are usually validated on randomly sampled devices, but using them requires knowing how large their error can become under fabrication and alignment variation. In a stylised numerical case study, a hybrid Fourier neural operat...

Post-training quantization is a powerful tool for compressing large language models. The most scalable methods quantize every layer in parallel, but quantization errors then compound through the residual stream, as no layer corrects for the errors of the layers before it. Sequential quantization accounts for this error...

TRACE is introduced, a weights-only auditing method that localizes an unknown checkpoint update relative to frozen harmful and non-harmful reference prototypes and converts this geometry into a continuous harmful-objective score.

This work proposes CARAT, which decouples model reliance from runtime corruption detection to guide omission or attenuation, amortizing reliance estimation through source training and position CARAT as a practical default to wearable TTA, offering competitive robustness with modest computational requirements and benefi...

When multiple agents share a cost budget, a common Lagrange multiplier can enforce the aggregate constraint but does not determine how its penalty should be allocated across agents. Uniform penalties ignore heterogeneity in the rewards agents sacrifice, while agent-specific multipliers may still rely on the same aggreg...

We study estimating rare-event probabilities $I = \mathbb{P}(g(\mathbf{X})>\gamma)$ with $\mathbf{X} \sim \mathcal{N}(\boldsymbol{\mu}, \boldsymbol{\Sigma})$ and general $g : \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}$. We address this problem through importance sampling, and propose a framework that substantially improves efficiency...

Self-supervised EEG models often reconstruct masked waveforms or predict discrete codes. We study a task-aligned alternative: masked band-power prediction (MBP), which predicts fixed narrow-band log spectral energy for masked channel-time patches. This target retains rhythm power relevant to sleep staging while avoidin...

Adapting a reinforcement learning policy to changes in another agent's behavior typically requires a large amount of new interaction data. Policy sensitivity provides a first-order prediction of how a locally optimal policy changes with a behavioral parameter, but its computation requires second-order derivatives whose...
