Quantum-Classical Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Solving Reservoir Seepage Equations

Solving reservoir seepage partial differential equations (PDEs) is critical for hydrocarbon development optimization and production forecasting. Conventional numerical solvers suffer from mesh errors and high computational cost. Standard Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are limited by inefficient parameters. Th...

Understanding Negative Learning in Large Language Model Fine-tuning

Negative learning has never been more important than it is today, particularly in large language model (LLM) fine-tuning, where it underpins machine unlearning, preference- and reward-based optimization, and exploratory data generation. Yet its functional role remains a subject of ongoing debate, with existing work var...

UMM-RM: An Upcycle-and-Merge MoE Reward Model for Mitigating Reward Hacking

Reward models (RMs) are critical to reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). However, policy models can exploit biases or spurious correlations in dense RMs, causing reward hacking: RM scores rise while alignment with human preferences deteriorates, especially under distribution shift. We propose UMM-RM (Upcy...

From Topology to Retrieval: Decoding Embedding Spaces with Unified Signatures

Upperological Signatures is presented for characterizing the structure of embedding spaces and finds that it outperforms individual metrics in downstream performance prediction and reveals novel insights into representational similarity that challenge the global claims of the Platonic Representation Hypothesis.

QuAnTS: Question Answering on Time Series

Text offers intuitive access to information. This can, in particular, complement the density of numerical time series, thereby enabling improved interactions with time series models to enhance accessibility and decision-making. While the creation of question-answering datasets and models has recently seen remarkable gr...

The Optimization Landscape of Carath\'eodory Decomposition of Toeplitz Covariances

Toeplitz covariance estimation is a classical signal processing problem, yet the geometry of the Gaussian maximum-likelihood objective remains only partially understood. Recent Newton-type, majorization-minimization, and gradient-based methods often solve the nonconvex problem globally with enough samples, but also rev...

Reviving Stale Updates: Data-Free Knowledge Distillation for Asynchronous Federated Learning

Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients without sharing raw data, yet its scalability is limited by synchronization overhead. Asynchronous federated learning (AFL) alleviates this issue by allowing clients to communicate independently, thereby improving wall-clock efficie...

Deep Jump Gaussian Processes for Surrogate Modeling of High-Dimensional Piecewise Continuous Functions

We introduce Deep Jump Gaussian Processes (DJGP), a novel method for surrogate modeling of a piecewise continuous function on a high-dimensional domain. DJGP addresses the limitations of conventional Jump Gaussian Processes (JGP) in high-dimensional input spaces by integrating region-specific, locally linear projection...

Stochastic Difference-of-Convex Optimization with Momentum

We study the online stochastic difference-of-convex (DC) program $\min_{x \in R^n} F(x) = G(x) - H(x) + r_1(x) - r_2(x)$, which covers sparse learning with nonconvex penalties, robust regression with smooth robust losses, and non-negative positive--unlabeled learning. We propose \emph{momentum-based DCA} (MDCA), which...

Efficient Test-Time Adaptation through Latent Subspace Coefficients Search

Real-world deployment often exposes vision models to distribution shifts, making test-time adaptation (TTA) important for reliable prediction. Existing TTA methods can be difficult to deploy on edge devices because they require backpropagation, activation storage, or test-time batches, which increase computation, memor...

Bayesian Optimization under Uncertainty for Training a Scale Parameter in Stochastic Models

Hyperparameter tuning is a challenging problem especially when the system itself involves uncertainty. Due to noisy function evaluations, optimization under uncertainty can be computationally expensive. In this paper, we present a novel Bayesian optimization framework tailored for hyperparameter tuning under uncertaint...

JaGNet: Detection, Identification and Position Error Correction of GNSS Jamming with Deep Temporal Graphs

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) underpin location-dependent mobile computing, such as railway signaling, public transport and fleet tracking, yet face growing disruption from low-cost jammers. Under moderate jamming, low-cost receivers keep reporting a valid fix, shifted by up to several meters and often wit...
