How the Classical Baseline Shapes Machine-Learning Speed Claims in Topology Optimization

Topology optimization places material so that a structure resists deformation under given loads. Machine-learning methods often report large speed-ups over classical, non-learned optimization, but a slow classical code or a less stiff learned design can exaggerate them. We re-ran released code for eight methods on one...

CLNO: Conservative Local Neural Operator for Compressible Flow Prediction

We propose a conservative local neural operator (CLNO) for accurate and generalizable autoregressive prediction of compressible flows. Building upon the locality and translation invariance of the local neural operator (LNO), CLNO introduces a conservative evolution framework based on local subdomains of fixed physical...

A Nonlinear Time-Series Theory for Constant-step SGD with Momentum

Constant-step stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDM) augments the parameter recursion with a momentum state that carries geometrically decaying memory of past stochastic gradients. We study this coupled recursion as a nonlinear time series and develop a framework for its stationary behavior and distributional...

Limit Theory for Online Expectile Estimation under Short and Long Range Dependence

Expectiles are tail-sensitive distributional summaries with important applications in financial risk measurement and forecasting, yet statistical theory for their online estimation from dependent data remains limited. We study a one-pass, stochastic-gradient algorithm with constant learning rate $\gamma$ for estimating...

Improving the Evaluation of Biomedical Question Answering with Few Human Preference Signals

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems are increasingly used for biomedical Question Answering (QA). However, evaluating their effectiveness remains challenging due to the lack of reliable reference resources and the frequent misalignment between automatic evaluation metrics and human judgments. One practical que...

Using Line Segment Tracking to enable ML-based Track Reconstruction in CMS

High-pileup conditions in CMS during the HL-LHC era make charged-particle tracking increasingly challenging as detector occupancy and combinatorics grow. We present a hybrid approach that exploits Line Segment Tracking (LST) objects rather than individual hits to enable the first CMS ML-based track reconstruction algor...

Harmonic Representations in Symbolic Music Transformers are Localized and Controllable

Transformer models trained on symbolic music have become remarkably capable. However, it is yet unclear how they represent music structure, and whether understanding their internal representations can be used to unlock methods for model control. We examine this through a case study of harmonic analysis: when a music tr...

Small area learning

Small area estimation (SAE) traditionally borrows strength across domains through a prespecified working model. We introduce small area learning (SAL), a learner-agnostic framework that formulates SAE as a multi-target semi-supervised learning problem and treats outcome prediction as a nuisance task. Areas may differ t...

Physics-guided machine learning for saturation control across variable hydraulic conditions in heap leaching

Heap-leaching hydraulics vary between regions of an ore bed, motivating fast prediction models that accommodate different material properties. This study develops a parameter-conditioned physics-guided machine-learning (PGML) surrogate and demonstrates its use in simulated saturation control. A dataset of 4096 numerica...

Frequency-Step Cache: Separating Synchronization and Repair for Efficient Autoregressive Video Diffusion

Autoregressive (AR) video generation enables long-horizon synthesis but requires repeated forward passes through large diffusion transformers. Training-free caching reduces this cost by reusing intermediate computation, yet existing controllers often couple two decisions: when to synchronize the cache exactly and how m...

Two Linear Programs are Better than One

The extension complexity $\operatorname{xc}(P)$ of a polytope $P$ is the minimum number of facets of a polytope that projects onto it. Motivated by the complexity of neural networks, Hertrich and Loho introduced the virtual extension complexity $\operatorname{vxc}(P)$ of a polytope $P$, which is the minimum of $\operat...

Lightweight Scheduling Policies for Continuously Batched LLM Serving Across GPU Architectures

Large language model serving is increasingly limited not only by model size and GPU speed, but also by scheduling during autoregressive decoding, where continuous batching interleaves requests at token granularity as sequences arrive and finish. We study whether lightweight scheduling policies can improve latency-throu...
