Optimize Your Sampling: Tuned Diffusion Sampling with Bayesian Optimization

Optizing Your Sampling (OYS), which instead treats timestep selection as a black-box optimization problem, optimizing the target metric directly with Bayesian optimization, improves both simple and sophisticated samplers such as Euler and DPM-Solver++.

TabNSM: Neural Sparse Mixer for Tabular Regression

TabNSM provides an effective and scalable approach to deep tabular regression, and demonstrates that selective interaction modeling, structured regression supervision, and difficulty-aware sampling provide an effective and scalable approach to deep tabular regression.

Why GPT-Style Models Do Not Directly Transfer to Symbolic Music: Compression in the Wrong Coordinate System

The results reveal why GPT-style models do not transfer directly across modalities: architectures transfer, but tokenization interfaces do not and must discover effective representations while preserving the relational freedom from which contextual structure can emerge.

Revisiting WEASEL 2.0: Reproduction, Sensitivity, and an Adaptive Ensemble-Size Rule

This work reproduces WEASEL 2.0 on 114 UCR datasets and tests the sensitivity of four design choices: the downstream classifier, the absence of feature weighting, the maximum window-size rule, the maximum ensemble-size rule, and the maximum ensemble-size rule.

Policy-Invariant Reward Shaping from LLM Feedback: A Framework for Hybrid RL Agents

This work formalizes the hybrid LLM-planner and RL-controller architecture as a Goal-Augmented Markov Decision Process and shows that when the LLM per-state progress score is used as a bounded potential function, the resulting shaping term preserves the optimal policy set even when the LLM scores are inaccurate.

Composing Flow-Matching Energies with Known Physics: Generation, OOD Detection, and Inversion on PDE Fields

It is shown in this work that flow matching models with a potential-induced velocity yield an explicit scalar energy at all transport times, whose gradient is exactly the converted learned score and which recovers the marginal negative log-density at the population optimum.

Recirculation

This work describes an inference-time architectural enhancement for off-the-shelf foundation models that markedly reduces perplexity and boosts accuracy across generation and reasoning tasks, and proposes and evaluates an adaptive variant of recirculation which requires only light tuning of hyperparameters while freezing the original model weights.

Too Sure to Be Safe: Model Calibration for Reliable Log Anomaly Detection

Log Reconstruction and Distance (LoRD), a lightweight post-hoc calibration framework for reliable log anomaly detection, is proposed and demonstrates that LoRD consistently improves confidence reliability and substantially reduces overconfident anomaly-related errors without sacrificing anomaly detection performance.

Understanding the Surprising Generalization Properties of Tabular Foundation Models

A task-centric, retrieval-based perspective is offered for how TFMs generalize: it is believed that tabular in-context generalization is largely retrieval-based, and good models are those that learn to identify relevant examples in the provided context and aggregate them well.

SIGMA: SHAP-Guided Implicit-Trajectory Generation for Metadata-Free LLM-Based AutoFE

This work proposes a SHAP-enhanced Implicit-trajectory Generation for Metadata-free AutoFE (SIGMA), a scalable constant-context optimization framework that leverages SHAP values to provide task-aware signals for guiding group feature generation instead of semantic information.

Looking beyond natural sequences

A new machine-learning framework aims to improve the success rate of computational protein design while moving away from results that reproduce sequences found in nature.
