- Continual Learning in Modern Hopfield Networks with an Application to Diffusion Models
Generative models, including diffusion models, are increasingly used as foundation models and adapted through sequential fine-tuning, making continual learning an essential problem setting. However, continual learning in such generative models remains poorly understood: after a task change, what asp...

- Multi-Teacher Knowledge Distillation via Teacher-Informed Mixture Priors
Knowledge distillation is a powerful method for model compression, enabling the efficient deployment of complex deep learning models (teachers), including large language models. However, its underlying statistical mechanisms remain unclear, and uncertainty evaluation is often overlooked, especially ...
- Is Backpropagation Optimal? When Synthetic Gradients Improve Sample Efficiency
Backpropagation is the default learning rule for artificial neural networks and is often treated as the settled approach whenever differentiability is available. In this work, we revisit this convention through a theoretical lens of sample efficiency. We introduce a unified vectorized feedback frame...
- Reward Transfer from Inverse Reinforcement Learning: A Coupled Minimax Approach
We study the transfer of rewards learned using inverse reinforcement learning from expert demonstrations in one environment to reinforcement learning in a new, different environment. This arises naturally when demonstrations are collected in a controlled environment. We formulate the problem as a jo...
- Principled Algorithms for Optimizing Generalized Metrics in Multi-Label Learning
Many real-world classification tasks require predicting multiple labels per instance, necessitating the optimization of complex evaluation metrics such as the $F$-measure and Jaccard index. While the Empirical Utility Maximization (EUM) framework is natural for these population-level metrics, existi...
- Conservative neural posterior estimation via distributionally robust training
Simulation-based inference with neural posterior estimation (NPE) often yields overconfident and unreliable posteriors under limited simulation budgets. To address this, we propose DRO-NPE, a distributionally robust approach that replaces the standard NPE objective with a worst-case loss over a Wass...
- Latent Diffusion for Missing Data
Diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative approaches for missing-data imputation, yet most existing methods operate directly in data space and degrade when training data are heavily incomplete. We investigate whether shifting diffusion to a learned latent representation improves robustnes...
- Decision-focused learning for optimal PV-Battery scheduling
The use of residential photovoltaics has increased dramatically in recent years. With battery systems becoming more affordable, the optimal operation of a photovoltaic-battery system can bring significant savings to households. Optimal control requires correct forecasts of underlying parameters, suc...
- Insurance Pricing Optimization via Off-Policy Evaluation
Traditional insurance pricing relies on risk-based principles that ensure actuarial fairness and solvency but do not explicitly account for policyholders' price sensitivity. We formulate insurance pricing as a decision-making problem and study it using tools from off-policy evaluation and stochastic...
- Adaptive Bandit Algorithms for Contextual Matching Markets
We study bandit learning in matching markets, where players and arms constitute the two market sides, and the players' utilities are linear in the arm contexts. In each round, new arms arrive with observable contexts. Then, the algorithm matches them to players, aiming to minimize each player's regr...
- Parameter-Efficient Generative Modeling with Controlled Vector Fields
We introduce a continuous-time generative modeling framework, motivated by the Chow-Rashevskii theorem, that builds expressive flows from a small set of fixed vector fields and learned scalar controls. Instead of learning an unconstrained high-dimensional vector field, our framework constructs the v...
- Counterfactually Fair Regression via Optimal Transport
We consider the problem of learning a counterfactually fair regressor. We adopt a causal uncertainty view in which counterfactual fairness is defined with resampled noise. We focus on obtaining theoretical fairness guarantees for a new post-processing estimator. We begin by showing that counterfactu...
- Learning to Bid in Repeated Second-Price Auctions with Dynamic Values and Aggregated Feedback
We study the problem of learning to bid when the bidder's value is dynamic, i.e., when the current value depends on past outcomes. Specifically, we consider a bidder participating in repeated second-price auctions whose value depends on the time elapsed since their last successful bid, with auctions...
- The conditional-mean barrier: From deterministic regression to conditional distribution learning
Many problems in computational science and engineering become one-to-many after coarse graining, partial observation, or inverse reconstruction: a resolved state may not determine a unique subgrid forcing, a structural descriptor may not determine a unique effective response, and a low-resolution ob...
- Learning to target with network interference
This paper studies adaptive targeting under network interference in a bandit setting, where treatments applied to one individual may affect others through spillover effects. We consider a linear model in a sparse regime, where each individual's outcome can be affected by at most a few others. We fir...
