We study the gradient flow training dynamics of two-layer multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) on anisotropic Gaussian data. Even in this simple setting, solving the dynamics in full is notoriously difficult, so we try something different.

Before language models are released, they are tested for harmful traits such as willingness to carry out dangerous requests, deception, power seeking, and sycophancy. The safe behavior these tests certify may degrade as models are modified, by topical fine-tuning, new training…

Deployed vision models auto-accept confident predictions, so high-confidence errors propagate silently. Maximum Softmax Probability (MSP), the standard failure predictor, has a structural blind spot: as a scalar read from the classifier head, it is first-order blind to feature…

Large language models are increasingly asked to shop on a user's behalf, which lets seller-controlled content such as badges, endorsements, and framing steer what they recommend.

Consolidating specialized foundation models into a unified generalist is a central goal of post-training. Two approaches are in common use: model merging, which is fast but treated as a heuristic, and multi-teacher on-policy distillation, which matches distributions but demands…

In multi-group learning, a single predictor must control its excess risk simultaneously over overlapping groups. Tosh and Hsu (2022) obtained $1/\sqrt{n}$ slow rates via a reduction to online learning with sleeping experts, and $1/n$ rates only under realizability (and for a…

Clinical care, health-system operations and biomedical discovery depend on extracting reliable answers from patient records, yet applying diverse clinical questions across entire populations remains computationally expensive.

Earth observation satellites acquire more data than they can downlink. Extracting information on board with artificial intelligence (AI) turns the satellite into a data-reduction stage that downlinks compact products, such as masks or detections, instead of full scenes;…

Accurate multi-horizon photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting is essential for grid stability, energy scheduling, and the efficient operation of PVbatterygrid systems. However, existing models often fail to jointly capture short-term variability and long-term temporal patterns,…

Gene perturbation models aim to predict transcriptional responses to unseen genetic interventions, but comparisons rely on heterogeneous evaluation metrics and differentially-expressed (DE) gene subsets.

We develop an uncertainty-aware, operator-learning-based surrogate for tendon-driven continuum robots (TDCRs) that generalizes across robot design and actuation while predicting the complete equilibrium configuration.

Knowledge graphs (KGs) are increasingly used in autonomous driving (AD) to make traffic scene entities and relations explicit for prediction and reasoning. Existing traffic-scene KGs, however, primarily emphasize trajectory forecasting or general scene understanding.

This paper considers the Bayesian top-$k$ identification problem, wherein a decision maker is tasked with selecting $k$ items from a pool of items of unknown quality. To assess the items, the decision maker adaptively allocates a fixed sampling budget, where each sample of an…

Gradient-variation online learning has attracted increasing attention for its connections to game theory and optimization. It has been studied in both non-stationary online learning, which aims to minimize dynamic regret against time-varying comparator sequences, and universal…

Query clarification is essential for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that face ambiguous user queries. We consider multi-turn grounded conversational scenarios where a user query is either ill-formed or ambiguous in the context of the prior dialog or, more…

Continual vision-language models (VLMs) encounter a stream of environments and must also reject inputs that do not belong to the environment at hand. Class information from earlier environments can aid out-of-distribution (OOD) detection, yet existing detectors score each…

This paper presents an original mathematical and computational framework for modeling the efficacy of methylphenidate as an optimal control policy acting on the nonlinear dynamics of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The success of neural networks is largely attributed to their ability to learn useful representations from training data. However, known results that prove a computational advantage of learned features over fixed ones are restricted to specific input distributions.

Vision-language (VL) models are typically built by fine-tuning a language model to attend to visual features in service of a Visual Question-Answering objective. We ask whether this alignment changes how language models represent text---especially on tasks where visualization…

Benchmarking large language model (LLM)-generated text detectors commonly relies on aggregate detector-level metrics such as accuracy, F1 score, and AUC. Although useful for summarizing overall performance, these metrics provide limited insight into how benchmark composition…

Relational triple extraction identifies entity relations from raw sentences without depending on entity type information. The performance of traditional methods is seriously degenerated by ``unseen'' entities, because these methods can't build contextual dependencies relevant…

People can express the same beliefs and desires yet need different reasons to change their minds. What makes an argument relevant depends on how those views arose: experiences shape what a person finds credible, what matters to them, and what could prompt reconsideration.

Spatial-temporal forecasting is pivotal for intelligent urban management yet remains challenging due to the intricate coupling of spatial dynamics and temporal non-stationarity.

Prompt engineering has become a central mechanism for guiding the behavior of Large Language Models (LLMs) across a wide range of reasoning and language understanding tasks [1], [2].
