- Be Fair! Can Machine Learning Engineering Agents Adhere to Fairness Constraints?
Machine learning engineering (MLE) agents promise to automate end-to-end ML pipeline development from raw data and natural language instructions, potentially making ML accessible to non-technical domain experts. However, in sensitive and regulated domains, this abstraction creates a responsibility g...
- STaR-Quant: State-Time Consistent Post-Training Quantization for Diffusion Large Language Models
Diffusion large language models (DLLMs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive LLMs by generating text through iterative masked denoising with bidirectional context. However, their large model sizes and iterative denoising process introduce substantial memory and computat...
- Sequential Data Poisoning in LLM Post-Training
LLM post-training proceeds through multiple stages, e.g., supervised fine-tuning (SFT) followed by reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) or direct preference optimization (DPO), where each stage draws data from different, potentially untrusted sources. Existing literature assumes data po...
- Data Attribution in Large Language Models via Bidirectional Gradient Optimization
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed across diverse applications, raising critical questions for governance, accountability, and data provenance. Understanding which training data most influenced a model's output remains a fundamental open problem. We address this challenge through...
- Reproducing, Analyzing, and Detecting Reward Hacking in Rubric-Based Reinforcement Learning
Rubric-based reinforcement learning (RL) uses an LLM-as-a-Judge (LaaJ) to score model outputs according to rubrics as rewards. However, policy models may exploit latent biases in the judge, leading to reward hacking and ineffective or unsafe training outcomes. In real-world rubric-based RL, such hac...
- Towards Pretraining Text Encoders for TabPFN
Tabular foundation models, such as TabPFN, achieve strong performance on tabular datasets with numerical and categorical data, but do not natively handle high-cardinality text features. Standard pipelines, therefore, embed text with a language model and compress the resulting vectors with PCA into a...
- Provably Reduced Sample Cost in Prior-Guided Hyperparameter Optimization
Large-scale hyperparameter optimization (HPO) in automated machine learning (AutoML) consumes substantial computational resources, raising growing concerns about scalability and energy efficiency. Existing methods use prior information heuristically to accelerate both black-box and multi-fidelity se...
- Learning Empirically Admissible Neural Heuristics for Combinatorial Search
Finding optimal solution paths for combinatorial puzzles like the Rubik's Cube, sliding tile puzzles, and Lights Out remains a classical challenge in artificial intelligence. Heuristic search algorithms, such as A* , guarantee path optimality only when using an admissible heuristic-one that never ov...
- Uncertainty-Aware End-to-End Co-Design of Neural Network Processors: From Training and Mapping to Fabrication
Designing a neural network processor is an end-to-end co-design problem: network architecture and training budget determine the inference workload; hardware mapping decisions determine chip area, latency, and energy; and these characteristics govern fabrication yield and manufacturing cost. In pract...
- Signed Dual Attention: Capturing Signed Dependencies in Time Series Forecasting
Initially developed for natural language processing, Transformer architectures and attention mechanisms are now central to a wide range of deep learning models, including applications in time series forecasting. A standard attention mechanism, however, implicitly assumes homophilic interactions, lim...
- Failed Reasoning Traces Tell You What Is Fixable (But Not by Reading Them)
When post-trained language models fail on reasoning problems, the common test-time-scaling response is to spend more compute on additional attempts, and the failed traces play no further role. We argue this discards a crucial signal; some failures come from unlucky sampling, where more rollouts help...
- Generating Financial Time Series by Matching Random Convolutional Features
Generating realistic financial time series is challenging as training data is often limited to a single historical path. With such scarce data, overfitting is hard to avoid, especially under adversarial training where a trained discriminator can memorize the training samples. To mitigate this, recen...
- Deep Embedded Multiplicative DMD for Algebra-Preserving Koopman Learning
Koopman theory turns nonlinear dynamics into a linear spectral problem. In computation, however, everything depends on a hard finite-dimensional choice: the observables must be expressive, nearly invariant under the dynamics, and, ideally, compatible with composition. Deep Koopman methods learn flex...
- Preserving Data Privacy in Learning Causal Structure with Fully Homomorphic Encryption
Preserving data privacy is an important topic in structural data management and data mining. However, the issue of privacy leakage in distributed causal structure learning is a persistent challenge, especially in cases where data transmission and computation are required. In this paper, we propose a...
- AutoLab: Can Frontier Models Solve Long-Horizon Auto Research and Engineering Tasks?
Scientific and engineering progress is fundamentally a long-horizon iterative process: proposing changes, running experiments, measuring outcomes, and continuously refining artifacts. Yet existing benchmarks for frontier models primarily evaluate either single-turn responses or short-horizon agent t...
- FLAGG: Flexible Autoregressive Graph Generation
The Deep Graph Generation's panorama spans two extremes: one-shot and sequential models. The former generates nodes and edges jointly, while the latter samples them autoregressively. Each method performs better in different graph domains depending on size and topology, but neither is applicable to a...
- Learning Control-Affine Reduced-Order Models via Autoencoders
We present in this paper a framework for the identification of control-affine reduced-order models (ROMs). The proposed method utilizes autoencoders (AEs) to transform the high-dimensional states, and potentially the high-dimensional inputs, into reduced latent ones suitable for control-affine state...
- In-Context Graphical Inference
Marginal inference in discrete graphical models forces a choice between exactness and scalability: exact algorithms are intractable for high-treewidth graphs, while iterative approximations (Belief Propagation, variational methods) sacrifice convergence guarantees on frustrated topologies. We argue ...
- New Benchmarking Shows Limited Generalization Power of TCR Antigenic Epitope Prediction Models
Accurate computational prediction of T cell receptor (TCR) antigen specificity would transform the study of T cell biology and enable scalable immune engineering, yet existing models lack sufficient sensitivity and specificity for broad applications. A major limitation is the absence of rigorously d...
- AlphaQ: Calibration-Free Bit Allocation for Mixture-of-Experts Quantization
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures scale model capacity through sparse expert activation, but their deployment remains memory-bound because all expert weights must reside in memory. Mixed-precision quantization can substantially reduce this footprint by assigning different bit-widths to differen...
- NLLog: Lightweight, Explainable SOC Anomaly Detection via Log-to-Language Rewriting
System-generated logs underpin security monitoring, yet their rigid template-based format hinders both automated analysis and human comprehension. We present NLLog (Natural-Language Log), a lightweight pipeline that deterministically rewrites parsed templates into WHO-WHAT-SEVERITY sentences, pools ...
- AdaKoop: Efficient Modeling of Nonlinear Dynamics from Nonstationary Data Streams with Koopman Operator Regression
Real-time data analysis requires the ability to accurately and adaptively address nonlinear dynamics in a nonstationary data stream while preserving computational efficiency. However, nonlinear dynamics are so complex that capturing dynamically changing nonlinear patterns and utilizing them for down...
- Rethinking Incompleteness: Formalizing Protocol Divergence and Train-Once Learning for Robust IMVC
Standard IMVC evaluation retrains separate models for different missing-data configurations. We show that this paradigm obscures a fundamental vulnerability: missing rate alone is insufficient to characterize data incompleteness. Specifically, we show that protocols with identical nominal missing ra...
- Bayesian learning for the stochastic shortest path problem
Sequential decision-making problems are often modelled as a Markov decision process (MDP). We focus on the stochastic shortest path (SSP) problem, which is an infinite-horizon undiscounted MDP with absorbing terminal states. We develop a Bayesian framework to learn the optimal decision strategy thro...
