Our presentation is structured around two complementary viewpoints: We fir...
- From Objectives to What Models Learn: A Landau Theory of Invariant Learning
Invariant learning seeks representations that remain predictive across environments, yet the behavior of its objectives along the regularization path is often opaque. We address this objective-behavior gap by viewing representation learning as multimode magnetization and deriving, from concrete inva...

- Zuckerberg pushes ‘superintelligent’ AI for all as Meta drops open-source model
Meta CEO presents utopian vision of AI in 6,000-word essay amid Silicon Valley debate over government regulation Mark Zuckerberg published a lengthy essay on Monday detailing his views on artificial intelligence and announced several plans for how Meta would develop the technology in the future. The CEO’s essay went online the same day as Meta released a new, open-source AI model that seeks to rival Anthropic and OpenAI’s products called Muse Glimmer. Over the course of more than 6,000 words in a post titled “The Future is for Everyone,” Zuckerberg addressed a range of topics related to AI that included datacenters, government regulation, cybersecurity, the creation of bioweapons, labor market disruption, surveillance powers and more. The essay presented a utopian vision of AI as a personalized “superintelligence” – using the word 60 times. Continue reading...
- Learning to Modulate, Not to Cycle: Soft Actor---Critic Recovers Inverter-Style Heat-Pump Control
On--off cycling is the main cause of compressor wear in residential heat pumps, yet reinforcement learning (RL) controllers for buildings typically optimise only energy cost and thermal comfort, ignoring how much the learned policy cycles. We add a levelised compressor-wear term to the control rewar...
- Hierarchical rank-evolving representation for physics-informed neural networks
Recently, tensor-based physics-informed neural networks (T-PINNs) have received increasing attention. However, existing T-PINNs still face a fundamental challenge: they mainly rely on pre-specified low-rank tensor decompositions with manually tuned ranks, which limits their ability to capture the un...
- When Do Task Vectors Interfere? Mapping the Validity Boundaries of Weight-Space Composition
Task arithmetic treats fine-tuning displacements as composable directions in weight space, yet it remains unclear when parameter addition reflects predictable changes in model function. We separate parameter geometry from functional geometry and measure pairwise functional non-additivity over a two-...

- Generalized Convexity and Smoothness via Conjugate Duality: Optimization Theory for Deep Neural Networks
Deep neural network (DNN) training with stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and its variants achieves strong empirical performance, yet classical optimization theory does not fully explain this success. This limitation arises because conventional analyses rely on assumptions such as differentiability,...
- Training-Free Universal Approximation by Prompting Random Transformers
How expressive is prompting a transformer? Answering this question is important for separating the roles of prompting, architecture, and pretraining in transformer models, and for determining whether task-specific behavior must be stored in model weights or can instead be induced at inference time t...

Symbolic regression is the problem of finding an algebraic expression describing a stochastic dependence of a target variable on a set of inputs. Unlike forms of regression that fit parameters assuming a fixed model structure, symbolic regression is a search problem over the space of expressions, re...
- Deep Learning Imputation of Missing Radius of Maximum Winds (Rmax) Values in Tropical Cyclone Best-Track Data
