ATLAS-AL: Adaptive Trust-Region for Latent Adversarial Searches via Active Learning

Security evaluation of learning-based systems requires more than just testing the system against a fixed collection of attacks. It requires adaptive mechanisms that can efficiently discover \textit{sets} of inputs that induce model failure. We introduce ATLAS (Adaptive Trust-Regions for Latent Adversarial Searches), wh...

FlexiFlow: Bandit-based Model Switching in ML Workflows

Model optimizations help improve inference performance and accuracy of ML workflows. However, relying on a single model to perform inference across all data batches often fails to maximize accuracy and thus overall performance. In many cases, alternate models could perform better on specific subsets of data where a pri...

Lock-in EP: An In-Situ Training Algorithm for Oscillatory Hardware

Analog hardware platforms offer the potential to reduce energy consumption over digital architectures, but in order to succeed, large-scale analog systems must also be able to operate with or recover from the variability of their components. Towards this goal, we derive and demonstrate the lock-in equilibrium propagati...

Algorithmically Aligned Neural Agglomerative Tree Construction

Linkage algorithms for hierarchical clustering (HC) are a powerful and efficient framework for constructing clustering trees, yet it is often unclear which merge rule best suits a given dataset or task. In contrast, neural approaches can learn from data, but often fail to retain the efficiency and size generalization o...

Neural Algorithmic Reasoning for Graph Saddle Point Problems

Neural algorithmic reasoning, or aligning a neural network with an algorithmic paradigm, has emerged as an approach to solving polynomial-time-solvable and computationally harder combinatorial optimization problems. We propose a new message-passing framework based on the Chambolle-Pock Primal--Dual Hybrid Gradient (PDH...

Neural Fields Encode Adaptation Geometry

Neural fields are usually evaluated by how well they reconstruct an observation. We show that this misses two useful properties of a fitted network: how easily it can adapt to new observations, and what its weights retain from earlier ones. We study these properties as adaptation geometry. For images, we meta-learn cla...

Learning What to Distill: Bilevel Top-K Token Selection for Self-Distillation in Large Language Models

Large language models have shown strong reasoning capabilities, but their high inference costs make knowledge distillation an important approach for transferring such capabilities to compact models in resource-constrained scenarios. On-policy self-distillation further reduces the reliance on external large teacher mode...

Benchmarking Time Series Foundation Models for Load Forecasting Under Covariate Uncertainty

Accurate short-term load forecasting (STLF) is essential for the reliable and efficient operation of modern power systems. While time series foundation models (TSFMs) have recently demonstrated remarkable performance across a wide range of forecasting tasks, their effectiveness for STLF under realistic operational cond...

Conditional Flow Matching for Transport Between Markov Processes

A flow matching based algorithm is formulated which learns a transport map from the source to target trajectory distribution, while preserving the Markov structure, which is consistent in the population limit and derive finite-sample error bounds under mixing time assumptions.

Minimal Witness Reinforcement Learning

``What are the irreducible conditions that are sufficient to produce an outcome?'' is one of the most common questions that recur across computation and science. Its answers, the minimal sufficient witnesses, are what we mean by explanations, mechanisms and reasons. These problems usually ask for multiple minimal witne...

Data, Numbers, and Geometry: Three Tutorials on Numerical Methods, Machine Learning, and Evaluation

We present three practical tutorials on numerical computation and machine learning for mathematical research, developed for the DANGER: Data, Numbers, and Geometry workshop held at the Banff International Research Station in April 2026. The first develops a numerical approach to exterior calculus from pointwise evaluat...

Constant-Curvature Sliced Gromov-Wasserstein for Heterogeneous Cross-Curvature Alignment

Recent advances in representation learning have highlighted the utility of constant-curvature models, such as hyperbolic and spherical spaces, for modeling complex data. Mixed-curvature models further enhance this by integrating multiple constant-curvature components. However, these models typically learn each componen...
