STOCK-JEPA: Prior-Anchored Latent Revision Representation Learning in Equity Markets

Learning effective representations helps characterize the structure and dynamics of equity markets from financial data with a low signal-to-noise ratio. Black-box deep models can capture complex patterns but may overfit sample noise and lack explicit economic structure. Meanwhile, classic linear financial models provid...

Should We Skip Diffusion?

Diffusion models learn semantic representations while generating images. In the Decoupled Diffusion Transformer (DDT), a condition encoder provides features that guide a velocity decoder in denoising. To enable effective denoising at all noise levels, these features must capture both high-level abstract structures and...

Mask-Guided KV Cache Eviction in Block Diffusion Language Models

Block diffusion language models keep a large key-value (KV) cache throughout generation and attend to it at every denoising step, limiting both memory capacity and generation speed. Reducing these costs requires deciding which past tokens to use for denoising the current block (selection) and which to keep in memory fo...

DART-ES: Difficulty-Aware Reweighting and Targeted Replay for Fine-Tuning LLMs with Evolution Strategies

Evolution Strategies (ES) enable memory efficient full parameter fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) using only forward computation. However, standard ES uniformly averages rewards across problems and compresses problem level population feedback into a single scalar, making it difficult to capture how the learn...

Repair Lot Skyline: A Weighted Constraint Satisfaction Approach to Pavement Repair Optimization from Geospatial Hazard Density

Pavement agencies must translate a spatially distributed distress inventory into a bounded, actionable repair-lot plan: accident-critical defects (potholes) must always be addressed, lower-risk defects (cracks) should be included only when their benefit justifies the repair cost, and historical patch locations signal r...

An Information-Theoretic Evaluation Framework for Benchmark and Model Diagnosis in Knowledge Tracing

An information-theoretic evaluation framework for KT benchmark diagnosis that uses Context Tree Weighting on item-response histories and current-item queries as an operational causal uncertainty coordinate, while distinguishing it from the unobserved Local Irreducible Uncertainty under the full KT information set.

A Data-Driven Framework for Unsupervised Monitoring of Transmission Systems Using End-of-Line Testing Data: A Case Study at Ford Motor Company

Sensing technologies have advanced rapidly across industries ranging from energy to automotive manufacturing. These systems generate high-dimensional (HD) data characterized by complex nonlinear patterns and strong temporal dependencies. Traditional statistical monitoring methods are often limited in their ability to c...

Uncertainty in Representation Learning on Knowledge Graphs

Knowledge graph embedding (KGE) methods represent entities and predicates in continuous vector spaces to infer missing knowledge. Despite strong benchmark performance, their predictions often lack principled reliability guarantees, limiting their use in high-stakes applications. Moreover, uncertainty arises throughout...

EVFormer: An Egocentric Vision-EMG Bidirectional Attention Model for Bimanual Hand Pose Estimation

Egocentric bimanual hand pose estimation is important for virtual interaction, wearable control, and rehabilitation, but visual observations are often degraded by self-occlusion, hand-hand contact, and object manipulation. We propose EVFormer, a multimodal framework that combines the current RGB frame with the precedin...

Do Neural PDE Solvers Learn the Right Dynamics?

Neural PDE solvers can achieve low prediction errors, but do they reproduce the dynamics of the systems they model? Prediction scores alone offer an incomplete answer: they measure agreement with reference solutions but provide limited insight into how errors accumulate, nearby states diverge, or extreme events arise....

Learning to Decide, Not to Reason: Parameter-Efficient Decision Operators via Low-Rank Activation Steering

Injecting skills into a frozen language model currently costs a million parameters and a reinforcement-learning pipeline. We introduce DecSteer, a System-1 decision operator trained by behavior cloning that lowers this cost by roughly two orders of magnitude. The default operator uses 330K parameters to match a 1.33M-p...

Learning to Remember: Distilling Memory Retention for Compact Recurrent Neural Networks

Deep learning models, particularly recurrent neural networks and their variants, such as long short-term memory, have significantly advanced time series analysis. These models capture complex, sequential patterns in time series, enabling real-time assessments. However, their high computational complexity and large mode...
