Formal-Verification-Guided Bayesian Optimization for Non-Intrusive Last-Mile Coverage Closure

Last-mile functional coverage closure for modern chip designs remains costly because a mature UVM environment exposes many controls while direct hits on the remaining bins are sparse. We present a non-intrusive workflow that closes pre-defined bins in an existing, human-authored functional coverage model; it does not s...

A Method for Exact Enforcement of Boundary Conditions on General Curved Triangular Domains: Algorithm and Application to Scientific Machine Learning

We present a method for enforcing exactly Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin conditions on general triangular domains with arbitrarily curved boundaries. The algorithmic constructions developed here complements those in a previous work for general quadrilateral domains. Our method combines (i) the exact mapping between a ge...

Monitoring for Shifts at Unknown Times: Parameter-Free Conditional Conformal Martingales

Conditional conformal test martingales provide sequential tests for detecting distribution shifts, using a fixed reference dataset to avoid contamination from test-time samples. Prior work used a penalized betting function via online optimization with smoothing, clipping, and other hyperparameters, which can adapt slow...

Accounting for model error in ensemble variational data assimilation through learned generative dynamics

Many approaches have recently been proposed to combine data assimilation with machine learning for improved forecasts with geophysical models. Here, we focus on combining advanced sequential data assimilation schemes with a generative forecasting model which accounts for complex model errors. This generative model prov...

SSM-Attack: Learning Where to Perturb for Black-Box Face Privacy

Face recognition systems are deployed widely enough that a photograph shared online can be matched without its subject's consent. Generator-based protection methods rely on heavy pretrained backbones, multi-stage inference or visible semantic edits. We introduce SSM-Attack, a black-box face privacy framework built on S...

GPU Goldmines: Tunable WebGPU Kernels for Edge LLM Inference

This work presents GPU Goldmines, a framework for specifying, executing, and tuning WebGPU kernels with kernels for key LLM building blocks: matrix multiplication, matrix-vector multiplication, and flash attention, and characterize performance across diverse devices, shapes, and browsers.

Deeply unrolled alternating projections for phase retrieval

Deep unrolling methods for inverse problems augment traditional reconstruction algorithms with learned priors to improve their performance. These methods have been developed under the implicit assumption that the geometry of the measurement operator does not change between training and deployment; when this is no longe...

Calibrating LLM Explanations to Human Decisions with Reinforcement Learning

Explanations of LLM outputs are considered an important way to make model behavior legible, helping human users make good decisions on downstream tasks. However, default training approaches for improving explanations target model task performance or human preference rather than human decision quality. To bridge this ga...

Colored Graph Signal Diffusion Models

Standard diffusion processes with isotropic noise corruption are not spectrally neutral. They inherit a coarse-to-fine generation hierarchy from the nonuniform data spectrum, because each frequency band loses signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at its own rate. For signals on a graph, the relevant spectrum is that of the graph...

Value-Preserving Action Quantization

Search-based policy learning, such as Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS), offers the flexibility to trade runtime computation for data efficiency and adaptation to novel environments. For robot learning, however, applying search requires discretizing the continuous action space and associated dynamics, typically through ac...

HybridDualPathNet: Cross-Fusion Attention of EfficientNetV2 and Swin Transformer for Brain MRI Classification of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease

Separating Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Parkinson's Disease (PD), and Healthy Controls (HC) using structural MRI remains challenging because disease signatures overlap and model performance can be strongly affected by data partitioning. We present HybridDualPathNet, a hybrid architecture combining EfficientNetV2-S for loc...

Tight End-to-End Accounting for Differentially Private Synthetic Data

Differentially private (DP) pipelines often combine heterogeneous mechanisms, yet their guarantees are best analyzed using different notions of privacy (e.g., bounded range, zCDP, ADP). When composing them, we have to analyze the guarantees through a reduced common representation that loses accounting precision. This i...
