This work proposes Quantum SEDONet (Spectral-Embedded Deep Operator Network), which assigns each trunk coordinate a spectral basis according to its boundary condition: Fourier features for periodic coordinates and Chebyshev features for bounded, non-periodic coordinates.

Inferring elastic constants from resonant ultrasound spectra is a nonlinear and typically overdetermined inverse problem based on finite spectral data. We formulate the Rayleigh-Ritz inverse problem as a constrained inverse-isospectral problem on the set of physically admissible elasticity tensors. This induces effective low-dimensional variables for the inverse map on the admissible elasticity manifold: length and elastic scales, aspect-ratio coordinates, scale-free spectral features, and stability-respecting elastic ratios. We use these variables to construct a physics-informed learning pipeline in which a regression model acts only on reduced spectral and geometric features, while scale recovery and final elastic-constant reconstruction are imposed analytically. For the full cubic benchmark, the reconstructed constants have MAE values of $20.37(35.15)$, $24.30(41.33)$, and $2.13(3.66)~\mathrm{GPa}$ for $C_{11}$, $C_{12}$, and $C_{44}$. In the fixed-geometry benchmark, the corresponding cubic MAPE values are $4.14(3.87)\%$, $8.31(8.50)\%$, and $2.44(2.86)\%$, while the isotropic values are $4.0(3.6)\%$ and $0.4(0.3)\%$ for the bulk and shear moduli. The inverse problem then becomes a constrained regression problem in variables adapted to the geometry, scaling, crystal symmetry, and thermodynamic stability of Hookean elasticity.

Training effective foundation models requires massive and organized datasets, yet scientific domains such as nuclear fusion present unique challenges due to largely heterogeneous and sparse data. Here we characterize the data used in developing such a model: with over 20 sensor types spanning 5 orders of magnitude in sampling rate, mixed tensor structures (point measurements, spectrograms, images), and nonstationary physics. We analyze our input complexity and discuss trade-offs between temporal context and frequency resolution. Our analysis provides a template for representing multi-modal fluctuation data at scale, with implications for both multi-modal control systems and nuclear fusion.

It is revealed that the presence of undercoordinated metal atoms close to the semiconductor-oxide interface significantly affects the magnitude of the electronic current and its propagation through MoS2.

This paper examines the closed form of the Wasserstein distance in one dimension via node feature probability distributions, and shows how the transport plans of the Wasserstein and Gromov-Wasserstein distances visualize how mass is shifted to transform one network into another.
This work introduces a signed multilayer community detection framework that incorporates both correlated and anti-correlated brain activity to identify subject-specific community structures across tasks and sessions and offers a promising foundation for precision neuroimaging and personalized neuroscience applications.
This work reformulates the output projection followed by top-k token selection as a maximum inner product search over token embeddings and replaces the dense vocabulary projection with an HNSW-based vector index, suggesting approximate retrieval is a practical alternative to dense output projections in latency-sensitive small-batch decoding.
We propose QGPINNs, a physics-informed neural network framework developed in PyTorch for the numerical solution of nonlocal differential equations on quantum graphs. The framework is designed as a general computational implementation in which the solution on each edge of the graph is approximated by a neural network, while a unified graph-based loss function enforces the governing equations together with initial, boundary, and vertex transmission conditions. In particular, the formulation incorporates standard continuity and Kirchhoff-Neumann vertex conditions and Dirichlet boundary conditions into the learning process to couple the local edge-wise neural approximations into a global solution on the graph. The framework is developed for two representative classes of nonlinear models: multi-order fractional elliptic problems and time-fractional evolution equations on quantum graphs. To improve accuracy and training stability, QGPINNs integrates several graph-adapted learning strategies, including soft and hard constraint enforcement, dynamic loss balancing, Fourier feature embeddings, and a learnable singularity-capturing feature for weakly singular solutions arising in the considered problems. The framework also extends naturally to inverse problems, including the identification of the orders of fractional operators and physical parameters from noisy observational data. We validate the accuracy, computational efficiency, and physical consistency of the proposed framework through numerical experiments on benchmark graph structures and real-world networks, including the IEEE 14-bus system and an open-channel agricultural drainage network.
The newly introduced RBAs were among the strongest performing, and by robustly retaining both main effects and 2-way epistatic interactions, these algorithms preserve predictive signals for downstream modeling.

Model merging combines multiple task-specific fine-tuned LLMs into a single multi-task model without additional training. However, merged models are known to suffer from representation bias: systematic drift between the merged model's hidden states and those of each individual source model. Prior work (Yang et al., 2024a) study and mitigate this bias for encoder-based vision models using a lightweight correction module trained with L1 loss. However, such bias is not studied for decoder models due to their autoregressive nature. We analyze the problem of representation bias in decoder models, and show two challenges absent in encoders: (1) the causal attention mask causes bias to accumulate across token positions, requiring position-dependent correction; and (2) not all token positions are equally important, i.e., high-entropy (decision-critical) positions matter far more than low-entropy ones. To address these challenges, we propose Decoder-Aware Representation Tuning via Surgery (DARTS). DARTS employs a novel entropy-weighted L1 loss to upweight correction at high-entropy positions where errors most affect generation quality, and a per-position additive bias that captures position-dependent error without overparameterization. We perform extensive evaluation on three domains: code generation (HumanEval), mathematical reasoning (GSM8K), and instruction following (AlpacaEval) on Llama-2-7B models, and show DARTS achieves significant improvement over the standard surgery approach while adding negligible parameters ($0.1\%$ of total parameters).
