Bridging Compressed Communication and Local Steps via Spectral Method in Federated Learning

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative training of complex models across large-scale networks of edge devices while keeping data localized. However, data heterogeneity and high communication overhead remain fundamental bottlenecks. Recently, the spectral optimizer Muon has demonstrated remarkable advantages over...

Residual Stochastic Concept Bottleneck Models

Concept-based models (CMs) learn human-interpretable intermediate representations that enable users to understand the model's reasoning and steer its predictions through test-time concept interventions. However, in realistic settings, their performance can be limited by concept incompleteness, where the training concep...

Flash RNN-T: Memory-Efficient Joint Network and Transducer Loss Computation

The recurrent neural network transducer (RNN-T) remains a practical choice for streaming speech recognition, but training requires large intermediate tensors. We present Flash RNN-T, a joint and loss implementation combining specialized kernels with optional tiled recomputation over the full alignment space and vocabul...

Information Estimation with Discrete Diffusion

Information-theoretic measures, such as Mutual Information (MI), play a crucial role in understanding non-linear relationships between random variables and are widely used across scientific disciplines. Yet, their use on real-world discrete data remains challenging. Existing methods typically rely on embedding discrete...

Contracting with an Agent under Model Mismatch

In the classical principal-agent setting, the principal delegates some task to the agent, who receives a payment conditioned on the outcome of the task, which in turn benefits the principal. To align their objectives, the principal designs a contract that incentivizes the agent to take actions beneficial to the princip...

RTSM: Adapting Recursive Models to Multivariate Time-Series Classification

The Recursive Time-Series Model is introduced, which combines a learned convolutional temporal tokenizer, single-state weight-tied refinement, and a pooled classification readout, and the resulting classifier combines competitive accuracy with a shared refinement module whose parameter count is independent of computati...

How Finite-Rank Bottlenecks Shape the Low-Rank Adaptation Landscape

Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) has become the standard method for parameter-efficient fine-tuning of large pretrained models, yet theoretical explanations for why low-rank updates suffice remain incomplete. Most existing analyses rely on the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) regime, which linearizes the network around the pretra...

SETAREH Transform: A Sorting-Assisted Haar-Wavelet Sparsification Method for Approximate Inner-Product Computation

Modern deep learning systems increasingly rely on high-dimensional vector operations, in which large input and parameter vectors are repeatedly stored, transferred, and processed. Although substantial research has focused on reducing neural-network model size through pruning, quantization, knowledge distillation, and e...

Minimax-optimal Scaling Laws in Ridge Regression via Transfer Learning

Pretrained models are often reused across downstream tasks, motivating the question of whether this transfer learning procedure can provide a substantial performance improvement, namely, in terms of the scaling law. We address this question in the prototypical setting of high-dimensional regression, where (i) a pretrai...

HiPredict: Predicting the missing HiRISE RED4 spectral channel with machine learning

The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) acquires imagery of Mars at 25--30 cm/pixel, supporting studies of martian geology, climate history, and landing-site characterization. Its 14-detector focal plane assembly includes several overlapping detectors that e...

Peak-Memory Schedules You Can Trust: Exact Realization, Certified Optimality, and the Limits of Recomputation for Inference

Real-time inference on small devices needs low activation memory without extra latency, which makes operator order the most valuable memory lever: it is free in time. We show that the usual way of deploying a better order, handing it back to the compiler and regenerating code, is unreliable. In PyTorch Inductor the reg...
