Modern deep learning models exhibit strong capabilities across diverse applications, yet remain vulnerable to malicious inputs that induce erroneous predictions via feature-space distortion. To address that, we propose Feature-Space Smoothing (FS), a representation-level certification framework built upon Gaussian rand...
In decoder-only (causal) transformers, the computation graph created by causal masking routes information through both direct-path attention and indirect paths formed by intermediate tokens. We denote these indirect paths between token pairs as their runways. We argue that certain failure modes of causal transformers a...
Multi-task learning (MTL) in materials science relies on the assumption that physically related properties share learnable representations. We challenge this assumption using a 54,028-sample metal alloy dataset exhibiting extreme task-level imbalance. Our results reveal a striking dichotomy: MTL significantly degrades...
Kolmogorov--Arnold Networks (KANs) offer a promising path toward interpretable machine learning: their learnable activations can be studied individually while collectively fitting complex data accurately. In practice, however, trained activations often lack *symbolic fidelity*, learning pathological decompositions with...

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has recently emerged as the leading approach for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, RLVR is prone to entropy collapse, where the LLM quickly converges to a near-deterministic form, hindering exploration and progress during...
In dueling bandits, the learner compares two arms in each round and observes only which one is preferred. This paper asks what changes when the compared pair also affects the next state, as in a recommendation interface where the pair shown to a user affects the user's next context. We formulate this problem as a state...
Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) is an emerging computing paradigm that imitates the brain's structure to offer a powerful and efficient processing and learning model. In HDC, the data are encoded with long vectors, called hypervectors, which typically range from 1,000 to 10,000 in length. The literature provides sever...
The FC-PINO (Fourier-Continuation-based Physics-Informed Neural Operator) architecture is introduced, which extends the accuracy and efficiency of PINO and spectral differentiation to non-periodic and non-smooth PDEs and demonstrates that Fourier continuation is critical for extending PINO to a wider range of PDE probl...
In the absence of conditioning information, normalizing flow models are trained using maximum likelihood. Previous extensions to conditional settings have abandoned the simple maximum-likelihood approach, as obtaining the full joint distribution of data and conditions for training purposes (or equivalently, the true co...
Few-shot industrial anomaly detection requires modeling category-specific normality from only a handful of defect-free images. Common approaches tie inference to stored exemplars, impose rigid linear structure, or risk reproducing anomalous content. Flownomaly instead casts the problem as normal-counterpart recovery in...
Personal email agents decide, for every message, what it is, whether it is urgent, whether to draft a reply, create a task, or ignore it. Their error rate is rarely measured: the stored labels were written by the system itself. We present Foyer, a self-hosted personal inbox agent in daily use, and a measurement protoco...
Generative recommendation with semantic IDs represents each item as a sequence of discrete codes derived from its semantic representation and predicts these codes to generate recommendations. Existing semantic-ID recommenders are typically trained with hard labels for the observed next item. Although such supervision i...
A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
