Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) trains a language model on problems that may themselves be confidential, and the trained model can reveal which problems it saw. We study RLVR under prompt-level differential privacy: the released weights must be ({\epsilon},{\delta})-differentially private with res...
Predicting migration flows remains a significant challenge for traditional gravity-based forecasting models, which primarily rely on structured socio-economic indicators such as economic disparity, political stability, and geographic distance. This work investigates whether Large Language Models (LLMs) can improve migr...
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) transformers scale capacity by activating only a few experts per token, but this sparsity creates a hidden reliability problem: when routing is imperfect, load-balanced models may send tokens to experts that are insufficiently trained for the assigned inputs. We propose Distributionally Robust...
Exact unlearning requires a deployed predictor to match one rebuilt without the information named by a deletion request. Existing general-purpose exact methods localize retraining through disjoint shards, but every request still invalidates a model, and smaller shards reduce the data available to each constituent predi...

A key challenge in building AI systems for scientific research is enabling $\textit{scientific exploration}$: the systematic process of investigating unknown phenomena or ideas to gain new knowledge through sequences of research decisions and actions. Yet this process is largely missing from existing scientific corpora...

An open contrastive decision model is near chance as a judge on the hard public benchmarks: Contrastive-LM/CLM-v0.1-8B scores between 0.351 (best- of-four, chance 0.250) and 0.593 (pairwise, chance 0.500), is statistically indistinguishable from coin flipping on RM-Bench and JudgeBench, and answers every HaluEval item...
Representations of translated sentences are similar in the inner layers of multilingual language models -- an observation connected to the platonic representation hypothesis, yet unexplained theoretically. We provide an explanation based on the assumption that data have a hidden hierarchical structure whose abstract le...

Deep hedging learns trading policies from historical or simulated market trajectories, yet under nonstationarity these training paths may not represent future market conditions. We propose WRAP (Wasserstein-Reweighting Adversarial Perturbation), a drift-aware adversarial training framework derived from a two-budget dis...

We study the implicit bias of Riemannian gradient flow for hyperbolic multiclass classification with fixed class prototypes in hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$. Our framework accommodates general permutation invariant relative margin (PERM) losses, a class that includes cross entropy and other standard multiclass losses...

Diffusion large language models dLLMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive language models through bidirectional diffusion-based token generation. However, their growing model sizes and high inference costs make efficient deployment challenging: full-sequence denoising repeatedly invokes compute-i...

Results show that pre-verdict activations support prediction of susceptibility to candidate order and outperform the non-activation predictors evaluated here.

The Fr\'echet Inception Distance (FID) is widely used to evaluate generative models, but its empirical plug-in estimator suffers from finite-sample bias [BSAG18, CF20]. We study the sample complexity $n$ of estimating FID to error $\epsilon$ between $d$-dimensional Gaussians with bounded mean distance and covariances,...
