Which CS1 Students Will Fail? Identifying Digital Markers from Learning Analytics in Computer Systems and Architecture Using Weighted Academic Momentum and Interaction Logs

Results demonstrate that simple digital markers can power a practical early-warning system by the fifth week of the semester, and confirm that weighted academic momentum is the strongest predictor, followed by its interaction with LMS engagement.

ComNetX: Local Hierarchical Adaptation for Dynamic Community Detection

The results show that ComNetX can preserve the quality of strong modularity-based solvers while reducing update time on large graphs: in paired runs on the largest real graph, Local Leiden keeps final modularity within 0.006 of full-snapshot recomputation while achieving a 41.9 +/- 0.2x speedup.

Intent-Driven Dynamic Chunking: Segmenting Documents to Reflect Predicted Information Needs

Intent-Driven Dynamic Chunking (IDC) is introduced, a novel approach that uses predicted user queries to guide document segmentation and aligning document structure with anticipated information needs significantly boosts retrieval performance, particularly for long and heterogeneous documents.

The concentration game: Bayesian updating, regret, and information

A two-player zero-sum repeated game between a learner and nature whose value identity generates Bayesian updating and an exact accounting of exponential-weights regret at once is given, and supplies the comparator-class variational form that a wide class of concentration phenomena share.

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.

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.
