LiLib: Lifelong Air-to-Ground Path-Loss Prediction on UAVs via a Drift-Triggered Model Library

UAVs that act as relays or base stations need accurate air-to-ground path-loss predictions for rate adaptation and placement, but propagation conditions change as a UAV moves between suburban, urban and high-rise areas, and the same areas are often revisited. Online regressors that adapt by forgetting must relearn each...

Muon Is Theoretically Wrong For Convolutions, But Empirically Effective

Muon, an optimizer known for its efficiency, has a clear interpretation for matrix-valued updates, but convolutional kernels are stored as four-dimensional tensors. Standard implementations reshape these tensors into matrices, a shortcut which breaks the theoretical understanding behind Muon. To investigate this, we fo...

SchemaFill: Efficient LLM Tool Calling via Slot-Parallel Speculative Decoding

LLM agents interact with external systems by generating structured tool calls. Given a user request, conversational context, and a catalog of tool schemas, a tool-calling model must select tools and generate their arguments, potentially producing multiple calls in a single response. Standard autoregressive decoding gen...

When Attention Does Not Explain the Peak: Temporal Reference vs. Forecast Output in Attention-Based Time-Series Forecasting

Attention maps are often interpreted as evidence of what a forecasting model uses when making predictions. In our load-forecasting model, a CLS representation of historical demand queries 24 future exogenous horizon tokens through cross-attention, inviting a temporal interpretation in which highly attended horizons may...

Few-Shot Bioactivity Prediction with Meta-Learning under Assay Heterogeneity

Accurate bioactivity prediction is a central challenge in early-stage drug discovery, as individual assays often contain too few measurements to train reliable models independently. Meta-learning offers a principled approach to this few-shot setting, but assay heterogeneity may limit its effectiveness. Here, we test th...

What Must Replay Preserve? Separating Correctable Bias from Class Correspondence

Class-incremental learning must recognize all classes seen so far without task labels. Logit replay methods such as DER and DER++ mitigate forgetting by matching the model's past predictions on stored examples. Deleting this matching reveals its benefit, but the resulting accuracy cost cannot show whether the stored sc...

Learning to Simulate Individuals from Macro Social Signals

This work proposes to learn behavioral reasoning from prediction markets, whose price trajectories record how populations respond to real-world events at scale, and introduces macro2mind, which trains a language model with GRPO using market signals.

Skillful Data-Driven Subseasonal Soil Moisture Forecasting: Prospects and Limits for Flash Drought Prediction

Despite substantial progress in short-to-medium-range weather forecasting, predicting high-impact events such as flash droughts remains a key challenge for both early warning operations and physically-based subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) prediction systems. Here we demonstrate that, for S2S soil-moisture forecasting ove...

TRIAGE: Direction-Aware Mismatch Stabilization of Native NVFP4 Reinforcement Learning

This paper characterize the interaction between mismatch and the policy-gradient direction, distinguishing locally amplifying from contracting update contributions that mismatch magnitude alone cannot identify and introduces TRIAGE, a direction-aware stabilization method that uses segment-level diagnosis to selectively...

The Premise Is the Problem: Exchangeability Failure in Self-Monitored Test-Time Adaptation

This paper shows why reliable deployment requires checking the monitor's assumptions, comparing adaptation with the frozen model under realistic feedback, and limiting the effect of every protective response, and exposes a basic failure mode in self-monitored adaptation.

Shaping the Wind: Nested Potentials for Kinematically Admissible Urban Wind Prediction

Predicting transient urban winds is fundamental to understanding urban microclimates and designing climate-resilient cities. Building-resolving large-eddy simulation produces detailed incompressible urban wind fields at substantial computational cost for each layout. Neural surrogates offer a faster alternative by lear...

Identifiable World Models from Pretrained Diffusion Representations

Diffusion-based world models can generate and predict trajectories in high-dimensional dynamical systems, but predictive accuracy does not imply that their latent coordinates recover the underlying state variables or causal interactions. We ask whether a frozen pretrained diffusion model can be equipped with identifiab...
