Dimension-Free Scaling Laws for Size Generalization: An Exponential Separation

Modern machine learning models increasingly operate on variable-size structured data, such as sets and graphs. A central requirement is \emph{size generalization}: the ability of a model trained on inputs of one size to generalize to inputs of a different, potentially much larger, size. Classical statistical learning t...

Outcome-Routed Distillation and Reinforcement Learning for Diffusion Language Models

On-policy distillation provides dense supervision on the student's own samples, but its targets still come from the teacher. Verifier reinforcement learning (RL) instead uses an outcome signal, but it provides no direct constraint on capabilities outside the verifier. Combining the two is difficult for diffusion langua...

Exploring Interpretability in Deep Learning-Based Forest Classification - Separating Similar Forest Classes using Sentinel-2 Time Series

Results show that recurrent models can provide competitive classification performance while also revealing the phenological periods and spectral regions that are most relevant for distinguishing closely related forest compositions, and provide additional insight into the spectral-temporal mechanisms underlying tree-spe...

Beyond Time Induction: Structured Conditional Neural Solvers for Parametric Stochastic-Volatility Pricing

Physics-informed neural networks provide a flexible framework for learning parametric PDE solution families without labeled data, yet preserving accurate derivatives across heterogeneous regimes remains challenging. Structured neural solvers offer compact representations, but restrictive conditional parameterizations c...

Refined Topology-Pass Scheduling: Damped Trust-Region Compensation for Dynamic k-NN Graphs in SE(3)-Equivariant Structure Prediction

Equivariant structure-prediction pipelines alternate coordinate updates with the construction of a k-nearest-neighbour (kNN) graph whose membership is a discrete, piecewise-constant function of the coordinates. Rebuilding that graph at every block boundary (PB) is the expensive part of an epoch, whereas reusing one fro...

FinGREAT: Evaluating LLMs on Financial Graph-guided Retrieval And Typing

Financial disclosures express the underlying relationships of double-entry accounting through unstructured text. While financial LLM benchmarks predominantly emphasize question answering and classification, schema-guided evidence discovery remains relatively under-explored. We investigate whether open-weight LLMs can e...

LLMs program using Reusable and Composable Abstract Representations

When writing code, the same computation can be expressed in different programming languages and through different implementation strategies. We show that the activations of LLMs capture this shared structure in reusable and composable abstract representations when they generate code. These representations emerge in the...

Spectral-MoE: Heterogeneous Per-Layer Expert Utilization in Dense-to-MoE Conversion

Large language models impose substantial memory demands and arithmetic costs during inference. Dense-to-mixture-of-experts (MoE) conversion is a model optimization technique that aims to reduce these arithmetic costs. Dense-to-MoE conversion partitions pretrained feed-forward network (FFN) neurons into experts and sele...

Riding the Fixed-Point Curve: Image Classification in the Continuous Thought Machine

The Continuous Thought Machine (CTM) is a recurrent network that attends to inputs and makes predictions based on the synchronization between its neurons. On tasks spanning many domains, it displays emergent thought processes that have not been explained. We report a number of findings about how the CTM classifies imag...

Narrowing the Collaboration Gap, Probably

Large language models are increasingly deployed as teams of agents that hold different private information about a shared task. How should such agents concisely communicate in a way that promotes aggregation of decision-relevant information? Communicating only proposed actions can discard decision-relevant uncertainty:...

FireGraphNet: Sub-daily wildfire spread prediction with directed graph neural networks

Wildfire decisions are made in hours, yet most learned spread models predict daily on targets including burned area. We propose FireGraphNet which formulates 12-hour growth as node classification on directed H3 graphs, with candidates ahead of the front and wind alignment, terrain, fuel continuity and barriers on edges...

Adaptive Computation with Conformal Certification

Scientific imaging data involving medical (e.g., 3D radiographic, microscopic images) and astronomical sensors pose different challenges from natural images. One key challenge is that these datasets are often orders of magnitude larger than natural images. Efficient training and inference on such data is challenging du...
