Honeycomb-Surfels: Compact Hexagonal Primitives for Efficient Scene Rendering and Reconstruction

Novel view synthesis and 3D reconstruction have advanced rapidly with radiance fields and splatting, yet their memory and computational demands limit their use in resource-constrained settings. We introduce Hexels: novel planar hexagonal surface elements with a first-order spatial color field for efficient 3D scene and...

Attention as Lattice Gauge Theory: Relations Interact Only Through Wilson Loops

Relations compose through the entity they share - Alice is Bob's mother and Bob is Carol's father, so Alice is Carol's grandmother - and the order matters, since a father's mother is not a mother's father; verifying a composed relation means closing the loop. We show that if each entity's coordinate frame may be rotate...

MuonGS: Pretraining LLMs with Relaxed Weight-Norm Control

Weight decay and explicit weight-norm constraints improve optimizer performance in language model pretraining, yet a unified understanding of why such control helps and how much is needed remains incomplete. We analyze norm control in Muon over the entire training trajectory using the \emph{accumulated effective learni...

GAS-PFN: Graph-Aware Spatiotemporal Prior-Data Fitted Networks for Zero-Shot Traffic Forecasting

Traffic forecasting requires modeling complex temporal dynamics and the spatial dependencies imposed by road topology. Supervised graph-based models achieve strong performance, but are often trained for a particular dataset and sensor graph, making deployment to new or evolving networks costly. Prior-Data Fitted Networ...

Understanding the limits of latent world models

It is found that across the studied state of the art latent world models, none solves the task by actually faithfully modeling the dynamics of the environment.

Gym-Anything-RT: Scaling Real-Time Environments for Vision-Language Agents

AI agents have made substantial progress in domains where they have a non-trivial amount of time to deliberate between actions, such as mathematics, software engineering, and performing tasks on desktop applications. It is less clear how such models fare in settings that demand real-time interaction, such as playing a...

When uncertainty quantification fails: structural vulnerabilities and corrections for selective prediction under clinical class imbalance

Clinical pipelines deploying selective prediction under imbalance should adopt threshold-aligned uncertainty measures and class-stratified evaluation to reduce class-specific risk imbalance, supporting safer selective prediction under the evaluated conditions without silently excluding the most vulnerable patients.

GroundControl: Satellite-Conditioned Multi-View Diffusion for Reconstruction-Free Novel View Synthesis

Multi-view or video diffusion models have recently emerged as state-of-the-art approaches for novel-view synthesis from sparse image collections. While they can produce high quality images, they tend to hallucinate unrealistic spatial layouts when synthesizing views outside the input views (scene extrapolation). We pro...

The Structure Gap: When More Data Cannot Replace Structured Reasoning

A persistent belief in modern AI is that sufficiently large learners trained on sufficiently much data can make explicit domain knowledge optional. This paper examines a limitation of that belief. We define structure-encoded problems: tasks whose input-output map is determined, or sharply constrained, by known structur...

Orthogonal and Parametrized Multi-Attribute Steering of LLMs

Activation steering offers an effective and efficient way to modify an LLM's behavior at inference time. However, it remains unclear how to apply steering such that the signal is consistently strong and the steering strength has a universally interpretable meaning. We address this first by identifying the most steerabl...

Follow the Gradient: Tracing Safety Degradation Back to Training Data

Fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) on instruction data can quietly erode their safety, even when no training example looks harmful. Because this safety-degrading data looks benign, standard content filters struggle to catch it. We tackle this problem by developing SimpleLoRIF, a scalable gradient embedding method...

Bayes-Adaptive MDPs for Rollout Allocation to Enhance GRPO Training

Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has demonstrated strong performance in LLM post-training. However, it allocates a uniform rollout budget to every training question, ignoring variations in question difficulty. As a result, highly difficult questions may receive too few rollouts to generate informative positive...
