Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) remains a popular on-policy reinforcement learning algorithm owing to its stability and ease of implementation. Its clipping threshold, however, is fixed, so every training sample receives the same trust-region width regardless of how reliable the corresponding policy update is. This...
Unified streaming speech language models aim to support speech recognition and synthesis within a single model, enabling real-time human-computer interaction. However, jointly supporting these two directions of speech-text conversion while preserving task-specific performance remains challenging. We propose Uni-Stream,...

Neural architecture search (NAS) is expensive, but cross-task transfer can reduce costs by reusing knowledge from previous tasks. However, existing methods struggle with sparse search histories and task-specific transfer failures. We propose a method, a risk-robust strategy that combines sparse source logs with zero-co...
Generative target speaker extraction (TSE) models achieve high-quality extraction, but suffer from considerably slow training convergence. Representation Alignment (REPA) accelerates diffusion transformer training by aligning hidden states with a pre-trained Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) teacher. However, existing ali...

Neural networks can learn multiple tasks, but how learning organizes shared computation into specialized and reusable components remains poorly understood. In this work, we show that sparsity inducing regularization promotes functional modularity in multitask networks without predefined module boundaries. Using functio...
Large language model agents that use tools could take on part of the electronic health record and desk work that occupies physicians' time, but in many hospitals the medical information systems run inside closed networks, so the model and the agent harness must also be inside the network. We designed, implemented, and...

We propose a neural exploratory framework for variational problems over graphons, i.e., symmetric measurable functions $[0,1]^2 \to [0,1]$, that arise as limits of dense graph sequences. Such problems are central to two parts of the mathematical literature: extremal graph theory, which studies graph parameter optimisat...

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is often highly sensitive to learning-rate (LR) choices. Recent empirical studies suggest that, once LRs are carefully tuned, vanilla LoRA can remain competitive with many proposed LoRA variants. This shifts the central practical question from designing ever more variants to reducing the cost...
Large language models often acquire specialized capabilities through successive pretraining stages, but these gains can come at the cost of forgetting earlier knowledge. In this work, we investigate whether such trade-offs can be improved by changing how strongly each domain contributes to learning while keeping its da...

Complex text-to-image requests remain difficult to satisfy reliably. Verifying and repairing an image can fix an individual output, but a successful repair does not necessarily carry over to other requests. We present ImageRSI, a framework that keeps the image generator frozen and combines three components: five-dimens...

One approach to accelerating progress on AI alignment is to automate parts of alignment research itself. Doing so requires systems that can perform reliably on hard-to-supervise research tasks, including identifying flaws in research proposals and evaluating whether a proposed experiment supports its intended claim. To...

Chain-of-thought (CoT) generation offers an opportunity to intervene before a reasoning model completes its answer. But does the point at which risk is easiest to detect also offer the most effective control? We study this question with REACT, a conditional activation intervention that learns a safety direction from pa...
