Rethinking Successive Rejects Algorithms

In the best-arm identification problem, an algorithm adaptively selects arms to find the arm of the largest mean reward. Successive Rejects (SR) is a simple fixed-budget best-arm identification algorithm that eliminates one candidate arm at each phase. At first glance, SR seems to have limited adaptivity, since it foll...

Missed Detections and False Alarms in a CNN Technosignature Detector on Breakthrough Listen Data

Radio technosignature searches rely on machine learning detectors to shrink the candidate pool before a human looks at it. They are validated on held-out data from the training distribution, which excludes the cases where they are most likely to fail: a technosignature has unknown morphology, and terrestrial interferen...

ETH: Data-Balanced Heterogeneous Pipeline Parallelism for Training Large Models

Current heterogeneity-aware training systems for large models balance workloads by assigning unequal numbers of layers across pipeline stages, a strategy aimed at equalizing execution time through a unique pipeline configuration. However, this approach fails to address critical memory constraints and suffers from inher...

Designing Experiments for External Decision Makers

Standard Bayesian experimental design (BED) methods assume the experimenter alone will act on the data, choosing the best action given their own beliefs and goals. In practice, data are often acted on by external parties whose procedures the experimenter cannot change and may not know, particularly when the data are re...

Stateful Testing for Deep Learning Compilers

Modern deep learning compilers compile models lazily and cache artifacts across invocations. Retained compiler state can make a later invocation incorrect even when it is correct in isolation. An analysis of 26 publicly reported issues in PyTorch, JAX, and TensorFlow shows that detecting such bugs requires sequences th...

Deep Learning of Topological Equivalence Classes

We demonstrate an application of deep learning to the problem of identifying whether two generating vectors correspond to topologically equivalent finite group actions on Riemann surfaces, showing how architectures developed for semantic understanding have use for pure mathematical problems. In doing so we discuss how...

Uncertainty-Aware Federated Learning for Joint Communication and Computation in XR Systems

The convergence of communication and computation, empowered by artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced capabilities, emerges as a key enabler for realizing the promising functionalities of the sixth-generation of communication systems (6G). To this end, this paper investigates an AI-native, robust network, where multiple...

SelectPFN: Amortized Bayesian Variable Selection for Sparse Nonlinear Regression with Prior-Data Fitted Networks

Tabular foundation models based on prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) predict on a new data set in a single forward pass, but they cannot report which inputs their predictions depend on. We propose SelectPFN, a PFN that performs Bayesian variable selection and prediction jointly for sparse nonlinear regression. In one f...

Temporal Periodic Image Registration with Implicit Neural Representations

Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) have recently gained popularity for their ability to model functions using simple and lightweight networks. These methods have also proven effective in deformable image registration. In this work, we extend INRs for deformable image registration to the domain of temporal image reg...

Compiling Multi-Threshold Operators for Quantized Non-Monotonic and Fine-Granular Activations in Custom-Tailored DNN Accelerators

Aggressive quantization of neural networks can expose activation functions as bottlenecks for efficient hardware acceleration. Implementing quantized activations as multi-threshold operations has been shown to be a promising optimization, allowing for efficient hardware implementation of few-bit activations. However, c...

Single-stage joint diffusion of sky images and clear-sky index for ultra-short-term irradiance forecasting: what the frame-to-irradiance stage discards

Sky-image irradiance forecasting is dominated by a two-stage design: a video-prediction model forecasts future sky frames, and a separately trained regressor maps those frames to irradiance. We propose a single-stage alternative that co-denoises the future sky-image and clear-sky-index sequences in one diffusion proces...

Same Spectrum, Harder First-Order Training: Phase-Locking in Single- versus Multi-Qubit Re-Uploading Circuits

It is proved that this single-qubit re-uploading (serial) circuit represents every function that a multi-qubit circuit with the same encoding budget with the same encoding budget can; it is found that this exchange of width for depth is not free in first-order training.
