Data-Driven Prediction of Optimal MPI Rank Placement and Node Count for Memory-Bound CFD on AMD EPYC Clusters

Users who run a memory-bound OpenFOAM case on an AMD EPYC cluster must decide how many nodes to use and how many MPI ranks to place on each core complex. The fastest choice is often not the cheapest one. This paper revisits our earlier analytical model of this performance and energy trade-off with 560 measured configur...

Beyond Success Rate: Interventional Evaluation of Memory in Vision-Language-Action Systems

When we say that a robot uses memory, does that memory actually play a role? Success-rate ablations alone cannot establish the use of task-relevant facts: they change information and computation together, while aggregate rates can hide offsetting gains and losses. We propose an Interventional Memory Evaluation Protocol...

The Loss or the Architecture? What Matters in Survival Analysis with Competing Risks

Often, \emph{eg} in healthcare and predictive maintenance, what matters is which of several competing causes will strike first, and with what probability: survival analysis with competing risks. Corresponding deep learning methods are developed as bundles: a new architecture together with a new training loss, tested on...

Look, Reason, Draw a Region: Recursive Refinement for Spatial Context Prediction

Spatial-TRM is introduced, a compact recursive model with frozen vision-language features, a convex region decoder, and just 11.2M trainable parameters that improves spatial context prediction from pretrained vision-language features at a fixed trainable parameter count on this benchmark.

How the elastic axis folds the transonic flutter boundary: shock energy transfer and conformally calibrated active learning

Isogai's case A, a pitch-plunge aerofoil whose elastic axis lies half a chord ahead of the leading edge, has a folded transonic flutter boundary in inviscid flow: near the bottom of the transonic dip several flutter speeds coexist at one Mach number. We map this boundary, and the family obtained by moving the elastic a...

Learning angles for quantum approximate optimization

This work amortizes a major bottleneck in QAOA by an up-front data generation and training cost and can be amortized over time in settings where many similar problems are optimized on a regular basis, as is often the case in applications for industry.

The Optimal Ranking Tradeoffs Between Two Ranking Scores in Two-Class Classification

The accuracy, true negative rate (negative class recall), true positive rate (positive class recall), negative predictive value (negative class precision), positive predictive value (positive class precision), class-specific intersections over unions, class-specific F-scores, Cohen's kappa, and balanced accuracy are sc...

Distributed Performance Boosting through Neural Control for Plug-and-Play Networks

We address the problem of improving the performance of pre-stabilized networked systems subject to plug-and-play (PnP) operations, namely additions or removals of subsystems. While distributed baseline controllers can preserve stability after a PnP transition, augmenting them with expressive neural policies can invalid...

NestedVLA: Learning to Consolidate and Generate Skills for Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-language-action (VLA) models can learn a wide range of robotic skills, but combining separately trained skills remains challenging. The original training data may be unavailable for joint retraining, while directly merging model weights can cause interference. We propose NestedVLA, which consolidates independent...

Reasoning Models Can Control Their Chains of Thought When They Tell Themselves To

Chain-of-thought (CoT) controllability, the ability of reasoning models to control properties of their CoT, is consequential for both their usefulness and reliable oversight. Recent work evaluates this capability by measuring whether models follow CoT constraints given in the user prompt, and reports very low controlla...

Think More or Read More? A Token-Budget Theory of Reasoning with Shared Context

Reasoning systems increasingly improve answers by incorporating additional context into the model's input, from multi-agent debate, where agents read their peers'responses, to self-refinement, where a model revisits its own drafts. In these systems, communication consumes context as one agent's output becomes another's...
