Upcycling Language Models for Multiple Specialized Domains

Effective multi-domain adaptation of large language models requires prioritizing relevant domain knowledge while minimizing interference from irrelevant domains. Existing approaches commonly use Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) to train a separate adapter for each domain and combine these adapters within one model. However,...

Learning Safe Flow Matching Robot Policies from Binary Feasibility Oracles

Robot foundation models increasingly rely on flow-based action generation for general-purpose manipulation, yet the generated actions are not guaranteed to satisfy physical constraints such as joint limits and collision avoidance. This problem is especially challenging when the feasible set cannot be described analytic...

Localizing Concepts in Visual Autoregressive Models

Understanding the internal routing of visual concepts is crucial for the safe and controllable adaptation of generative models. While concept localization has been widely studied in diffusion models, the emerging paradigm of next-scale visual autoregressive models remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we introduce...

One Vector or Many? Clustered Optimal-Transport Steering under Quantization

Activation steering changes what a language model generates by editing its hidden states at inference time. Its most common form adds one vector, the difference of class means (DiM), to every hidden state. CHaRS (concept heterogeneity-aware representation steering) uses optimal transport instead: an entropic plan pairs...

Rethinking Pre-pretraining

We report that allocating compute to synthetic pre-pretraining (PPT) never outperforms pure natural-language training in our compute-matched experiments. This holds across four PPT curricula (k-Dyck, neural cellular automata (NCA), declarative reference corpora, and code) and three training regimes: data-constrained, d...

EPC-RawDC: Equivariant Physics Constrained 3D Diffusion with Raw Data Consistency for CBCT to CT Image Synthesis

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used for image guided and adaptive radiotherapy, but scatter, noise, reconstruction artifacts, and inaccurate Hounsfield units limit its quantitative use. Recent diffusion approaches for CBCT to CT synthesis remain largely image driven, with limited use of the underlying a...

UPPAAi: Towards LLM-Assisted Modeling, Verification, Analysis and Synthesis

For more than three decades, UPPAAL has supported the modelling and analysis of real-time and cyber-physical systems. Yet building a suitable model, formalising the intended properties, choosing analysis techniques and interpreting counterexamples remain iterative tasks that demand substantial expertise. Large language...

HEMO: Harness Self-Evolution for Multi-Objective Combinatorial Optimization

Automatic operator design (AOD) has increasingly adopted large language models (LLMs) to generate problem-specific search and variation operators for multi-objective combinatorial optimization (MOCO). Yet most methods evolve the operators while leaving the process that discovers them fixed. This limits adaptation as ne...

Accumulating Pruning Constraints: New Exact Polynomial-Space Algorithms for Max 2-SAT

We present deterministic polynomial-space algorithms that solve Max 2-SAT on $n$ variables exactly in time $\Ostar(2^{(1-\gamma)n})$, for a fixed $\gamma>0$, on several classes of instances whose clause density may grow with $n$. Our main tool extends the classic DPLL branching algorithm. When the search gives a variab...

Mind The Gap (MTG-AD): Dataset and Fine-grained Evaluation for End-to-End Inline Audio Descriptions

Audio descriptions (AD) are essential for making visual media accessible to blind and low-vision (BLV) users. While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offer a scalable solution for generating audio descriptions on-demand, their performance on ``inline'' audio descriptions -- which must fit within existing silence...

When to spend privacy: optimal allocation in private learning

Privacy accounting bounds the cumulative privacy cost of Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent but does not determine how to allocate a fixed budget across iterations. We formulate the complete Gaussian noise-variance schedule as an open-loop control under a composed zero-Concentrated Differential Privacy...

Learning Calibrated Confidence for Multi-Agent Collaboration

Complex information seeking on the Web often requires collecting evidence from multiple documents and reasoning across them, as in multi-hop question answering. Multi-agent systems address such tasks by dividing work among specialized agents, where upstream agents produce intermediate answers and supporting evidence th...
