Convergence-Rate-Guided Algorithm Design of Expected Improvement for Continuous Simulation Optimization

Expected improvement (EI) based on stochastic kriging (SK) surrogate is widely used in continuous simulation optimization, but unknown heteroscedastic noise on simulation output makes three basic design choices consequential: the incumbent used to define improvement, the replication level at each sampled point, and the...

Overcoming Catastrophic Forgetting: Continual Learning for Radar Waveform Classification

Automated radar waveform recognition classifies the waveform and modulation type of a received signal. As new waveform variants appear over time, a deployed classifier must learn them without retraining from scratch. Catastrophic Forgetting occurs when learning new waveforms overwrites prior knowledge. Continual Learni...

LunaTP: Enabling Efficient and Scalable Tensor Product for Equivariant MLIPs

Equivariant machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) promise atomistic simulations with accuracy approaching that of quantum-mechanical calculations. However, the high computational cost of their core Clebsch--Gordan tensor product (CGTP) convolutions severely limits model scalability and efficiency. In this pap...

Beyond RMSE and Granger Gain: Multi-Horizon Forecast-Error Entropy for Nonlinear Predictive Coupling

We investigate whether the past of an auxiliary time series provides predictive information about a target beyond that contained in the target's own history. We compare matched out-of-sample target-only and target-plus-source forecasts and introduce the forecast-error distribution entropy (FEDE) predictive-causality fr...

On the Optimality of Random Features under General Conditions: Misspecified Cases and Robust Learning

Random features provide a standard approach to scaling kernel methods to large datasets by approximating the kernel with a finite-dimensional feature map. Existing works of random feature methods primarily focus on well-specified models and light-tailed noise conditions, leaving a gap in understanding their performance...

Probing the Geometry of Color Representations in Multilingual Language Models

Do multilingual language models learn a universal internal geometry for color, and is it perceptually grounded or primarily linguistic? We decompose color representations into two geometric axes: (P1) alignment to perceptual color space, and (P2) cross-lingual symmetry. Analyzing layerwise embeddings across models and...

Robust Logical Anomaly Detection under Capture Shifts via Synthetic Anomalies

A framework in which a classifier, trained on normal images and on synthetic anomalies, scores a test image without comparing it with normal data is proposed, suggesting that clean benchmark scores can hide a strong sensitivity to capture conditions, and that learning the decision from both normal images and rule viola...

When Does Opponent Modeling Pay Off? Spatial Inference Stabilises Reinforcement Learning under Partial Observability

Deep reinforcement learning agents in partially observable competitive games must act on beliefs about an unseen opponent's intent. We study a spatial opponent model: a transformer trained with hindsight-relabelled opponent goals that outputs a subgoal heatmap from the opponent's observed trajectory, fused early into a...

Hierarchical Time Series Forecasting with Operator-Valued Kernels

Hierarchical time series forecasting requires generating accurate predictions that are coherent across multiple levels of aggregation. Existing methods either rely on two-stage pipelines with post-hoc reconciliation or on end-to-end models that often lack statistical guarantees. We introduce a unified framework that fo...

Link Both Views: Cross-Image Routing Attention for Dual-Endpoint V2I Beam-Pair Power Prediction

For sensing-aided communications, single-endpoint sensing offers only a partial view of propagation, motivating link-centric sensing across both endpoints. We propose cross-image routing attention (CIRA) for sparse association and mutual enhancement of propagation-relevant features from dual-endpoint RGB images. Buildi...

Distance Prediction for Quantum Codes

The distance of a quantum code is a fundamental metric that dictates its error-correction capability. While quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) families such as Bivariate Bicycle (BB) codes offer a promising pathway to low-overhead fault-tolerant quantum computing, computing their distance is challenging. Current...

Reliable Scale-Free Bandits via Empirical Likelihood

The exact exponent of linear regret deviations on two-armed Gaussian instances with common variance is determined and a matching lower bound among policies satisfying the same expected-regret budget on every such Gaussian instance is established.
