Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) trains language models from checked task outcomes, but assigning a terminal reward to individual reasoning tokens or actions remains difficult. Group-relative methods such as Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) sample several attempts per prompt, but lose thei...

Value-based Q-learning for continuous control can discretise the action space, but the resolution of the discretisation trades early exploration against final precision. Growing Q-Networks (GQN) grow the resolution uniformly from coarse to fine. We introduce Selective Growing Q-Networks (SGQN), which keeps decoupled Q-...
Tabular foundation models enable in-context learning by predicting unseen observations from a labeled support table without task-specific parameter updates. Despite recent advances, most existing approaches rely on dense architectures that apply the same transformations across features and datasets. We introduce OrionM...

Poor generalisation in deep neural networks is frequently associated with convergence to sharp minima. Sharpness-Aware Minimisation (SAM) improves generalisation of deep neural networks by minimising a combination of the training loss and the local sharpness of the loss landscape, biasing convergence towards flat minim...

Momentum is a classical tool for accelerating convex optimization and a standard component of modern large language model training. Yet recent empirical work has questioned the usefulness of first-moment momentum in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR). We study this question through a bandit formulati...

We study the finite-sample convergence of Q-learning algorithms for the average-reward formulation of Reinforcement Learning (RL) with options. While options allow temporarily extended and hierarchical actions, the average-reward formulation incorporates continual tasks beyond discounted and episodic RL. We establish t...

FUSE is introduced, a structure-aware robust aggregator that uses a small trusted labeled dataset for coefficient recovery, scale and cone-consistency screening, and post-screening step-size control, and improves seed-wise worst-attack accuracy over the strongest baseline on each benchmark by 3.9--30.1 percentage point...
Deploying a general-purpose model as an agent means running it inside a product-specific runtime harness that decides which actions are executable, how state advances, and when the loop may terminate. Ordinary trajectory supervision shows which action was taken but leaves the runtime semantics behind that action implic...

Long-horizon agents must coordinate reasoning, tool use, and environment feedback over extended interactions. Learning from sparse outcome rewards requires weighting trajectories of different lengths and updating the policy while rollouts are still being collected. We examine a single-rollout asynchronous recipe combin...

Anomaly detection is a fundamental task for time-series analytics, with important implications for the downstream performance of many applications. Despite the large number of anomaly detection methods proposed in the literature, recent benchmark studies have shown that no single detector performs best across highly he...

It is proved that Muon can recover its spectral max-margin bias with Newton-Schulz iterations growing logarithmically over training, and disentangle the roles of Newton-Schulz iteration count, the stabilization constant, and the Newton-Schulz polynomial, revealing distinct asymptotic behaviors, including directions tha...
