Puzzles are widely used to evaluate the reasoning capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) systems for sequential decision making, yet approaches originating from different paradigms are rarely compared under unified conditions.

General-purpose robots must perform a wide range of tasks from agile locomotion to dexterous manipulation. While sim-to-real reinforcement learning (RL) has proven to be a useful tool for this goal, current RL pipelines depend on engineering-heavy, per-task structural priors…

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning has hundreds of methods, usually compared by parameter count and benchmark score. We compare them as maps. A pretrained checkpoint is a base point in weight space, and a weight-space method is a smooth map from a small parameter space that starts…

Black-box optimization (BBO) arises in many scientific and engineering problems where objective evaluations are expensive and limited. Recent large language model (LLM) agents offer a new way to approach BBO by combining task semantics, computation, optimization tools, and…

Large language models are stochastic by nature. Repeated executions under the same experimental conditions may produce different responses. We propose a framework that can be applied across the model lifecycle, from task design to residual behavior and continuous monitoring.

The kernel bandit problem consists of sequentially optimizing an unknown function with noisy feedback, where the function has bounded norm in a given Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS).

Off-policy actor--critic methods control overestimation bias by taking the minimum of two critics. This uses the same aggregation rule everywhere, regardless of how the critics disagree.

Skillful prediction of biomass-burning activity several days in advance is important for air-quality forecasting and aerosol prediction. Two operational constraints motivate this work.

Automated methods have been proposed to overcome the limitations of human verbal deception detection, but evidence remains fragmented across disciplines. We systematically reviewed 25 years of research (289 reports, 6,136 classification models) and meta-analyzed 3,653 models…

High-dimensional sparse recipe formulation in process industries involves nonlinear association of various covariates, bounded by sparsity constraints and multi-criteria tolerances.

Learning and problem solving depend critically on the structure of internal representations. While many modern data-driven artificial systems achieve strong predictive performance, their learned representations often lack explicit structure for expressing abstraction,…

Predicting the structure and response of inhomogeneous polymer electrolytes requires a description of ion correlations that retains molecular-scale accuracy while remaining transferable across spatial scales and geometries.

Reinforcement learning in safety-critical domains requires maximizing task performance while strictly adhering to safety constraints. Existing safe reinforcement learning paradigms typically force a trade-off: they either require a priori knowledge to provide strict safety…

Despite its widespread use, Proximal Policy Optimization with clipping (PPO-Clip) remains difficult to tune, and the interactions among critic learning, clipping, and rollout reuse remain incompletely understood.

There are more than 2,000 listed companies on the UK's London Stock Exchange, divided into 11 sectors who are required to communicate their financial results at least twice in a single financial year. UK annual reports are very lengthy documents with around 80 pages on average.

Continual pre-training and fine-tuning in Large Language Models (LLMs) inevitably induce catastrophic forgetting, typically mitigated by replay using often-inaccessible original data. In this data-free regime, we analyze where forgetting occurs and why.

Can a biological wiring diagram serve as a useful computational substrate beyond the behaviors for which it evolved? We use the publicly released MaleCNS v1.0 connectome, reconstructed from a single adult male Drosophila specimen, as the fixed recurrent topology of an artificial…

Background: Modern software systems increasingly rely on Machine Learning (ML) assets (i.e., pre-trained models, datasets, benchmarks) for building, evaluating, and integrating ML-based systems.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) from outcome rewards suffers from sparse supervision, particularly on difficult, long-horizon tasks where successful trajectories are rare and costly to generate.

Modeling heterogeneous materials remains a challenge for physics-informed neural networks such as the deep energy method (DEM). The DEM and its variants, here collectively referred to as the neural energy method (NEM), offer a differentiable variational framework.

Self-supervised anomaly detection is a promising paradigm for medical ultrasound, as normal images are often easier to obtain than exhaustive annotations of all possible pathologies.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is highly susceptible to electromyographic (EMG) artifacts, whose temporal heterogeneity and spatial-spectral overlap with neural activity can leave mixed sources after blind source separation.

Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) can facilitate mass customisation in Industry 4.0, with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) representing a promising approach for developing safe AI-based robots.

Deployments of research agents are moving to populations of thousands that share one pool of compute, while most current systems organize one project at a time or leave the population unorganized.
