Generative Refinement Learning for Temporal Interpolation in Scientific Machine Learning

Computationally expensive simulations and real-world observations often provide data at a lower temporal resolution than downstream tasks require. Averaging observations at fixed grid points can introduce errors, and motion estimates alone do not determine how the physical field values change. In this work, we study wh...

Conservative Dueling Bandits: Preference Learning under Baseline Constraints

Contextual dueling bandits learn from pairwise comparisons, the same feedback used to fine-tune language models from human preferences. Standard algorithms explore aggressively and can show users two poor options. We study conservative contextual dueling bandits, which require that, at every round, the cumulative score...

HeteGCD: Statistics-Aware Dual-Prototype Learning for Generalized Category Discovery on Heterophilous Graphs

HeteGCD is proposed, a new statistics-aware dual-prototype learning perspective for generalized category discovery on heterophilous graphs that combines feature-based similarity with distribution-based consistency to support category discovery.

Specialization, Diversity, and Scaling in Child-Scale Language Models

Modern language models are trained on far more language than children experience, but we know much less about learning from small, naturalistic datasets. We train small GPT-2 models on transcripts of speech with children from dense home recordings (BabyView) and on synthetic child-directed dialogue (TinyDialogues), var...

Look Only When Needed: Certificate-Guided Visual Routing for Efficient Diffusion VLMs

Diffusion vision-language models (DVLMs) process their entire input at every denoising step. Since visual tokens make up 89-97% of this input on the benchmarks we study, most of the decoding computation is spent repeatedly processing the same image. Visual token pruning methods partially relieve this burden by removing...

Dream-COP: Guiding Algorithm Discovery for Combinatorial Optimization Problems in an Experience World

Dream-COP is introduced, in which a policy agent learns executable policies through dreaming in this experience world to guide a discovery agent in generating and refining COP programs, and policy replay provides feedback on the quality of the programs revealed and the search steps used, to guide policy selection more...

Balanced State Subspaces for Mamba-2 State Compression

Mamba-2 compresses all context into a fixed-size recurrent state that dominates decoding memory and bandwidth. Existing compressors quantize state values or prune state coordinates, scoring each channel independently in the native basis. We examine trained Mamba-2 states and find that energy is almost rank-one, but the...

MM-Net: A Multimodal Multi-Task Network for Sleep Staging and Sleep Apnea Assessment After Ischemic Stroke

Automated polysomnography after ischemic stroke is challenging because of altered sleep-related neural activity and concurrent respiratory disturbances. Existing stroke-specific approaches mainly address sleep-stage classification, leaving joint analysis of sleep architecture and respiratory events underexplored. Moreo...

Less is more: learning what to profile for GPU kernel optimization

The proposed AutoProfiler, a feedback-driven framework for learning a deterministic profiling tree from optimization feedback, suggests that hardware profiling should evolve from static metric collection toward profiling reasoning, making profiling itself a new dimension for improving kernel optimization.

NextEval: An Agent-Based Solver and Benchmark for Derivative-Free Optimization

The NextEval solver is introduced, an agent-based DFO solver which integrates the capabilities of a large language model (LLM) to guide the sequential selection of evaluation points, and a benchmark protocol for comparing agent configurations on shared DFO tasks using the same numerical tools under matched evaluation b...

RoboAuto: Autonomous Robot Program Search through Multi-Level Physical Understanding

This work introduces RoboAuto, a framework for robot program search that explicitly organizes physical understanding at the object, scene, and interaction levels through three components and shows that the knowledge base transfers across simulators and embodiments, and that program search performance scales with its si...

Proposing Better Rollouts for On-Policy Distillation

On-policy distillation (OPD) improves language-model post-training by letting the student learn from its own sampled trajectories under teacher supervision, aligning the training process with inference-time behavior. However, the rollout policy in OPD is usually treated as fixed: each round samples directly from the cu...
