This work explores whether this mode-bias problem can be addressed with a population of asynchronously trained policies which divide the state space between them, and evaluates both methods by keeping the environment-interaction budget fixed while scaling the community size, turning parallel compute into mode coverage...
The penetration-resistant design of concrete structures requires the spatiotemporal evolution of the stress field within the target, whereas in design only the strength grade, the geometry and the projectile parameters are known, and the aggregate arrangement is not. Empirical formulae and scalar-output surrogates serv...
Real data are often arbitrary, indirect observations of an unknown underlying process, and those observations can distort its geometry. Existing geometric methods equip data with the induced geometry of the ambient space, but this entangles the true geometry of the process with the distortion of the observation. To add...
A landmark result states that the expressive power of graph neural networks (GNNs) is bounded from above by the 1-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman (1-WL) test. We ask whether a constant-depth GNN can match the expressive power of 1-WL while using only rational weights. We prove that this is the case when Schanuel's conject...

Bayesian optimisation (BO) is a powerful framework for sample-efficient optimisation of expensive black-box functions, but its application to high-dimensional discrete scientific design remains challenging. Local trust-region BO methods such as TuRBO address high dimensionality by restricting search to adaptively sized...
Symbolic regression (SR) seeks explicit equations that explain observed data, and recent methods increasingly employ large language models (LLMs) and agents for equation discovery. However, these systems typically rely on manually designed workflows and prompts. We argue that the SR agent harness should itself be an op...
Convex relaxations make nonconvex optimization tractable by replacing hard nonconvex problems with convex surrogates that give valid bounds. Yet their design is still largely manual: a human expert must decide where to relax, which relaxation to use, and how much formulation growth is worth paying. We show that this de...
A preprocessing step is proposed that rescales the input Jacobian tensor, removing both the bias towards larger magnitude outputs and the ill-conditioning of certain factor updates caused by such a mismatch.
Inferring tumor-growth laws from sparse, noisy observations requires more than accurate curve fitting. We study an AI-assisted workflow involving symbolic regression, mathematical admissibility checks, coefficient refitting, and large language model (LLM) ranking. Synthetic Gompertz data allow trajectory fit, forecasti...
Continuous symmetry discovery is typically formulated as a separate estimation problem for each function or dataset. We instead investigate whether the map from a function to its symmetry structure can be learned across a family of functions from finite observations. Using the infinitesimal differential characterizatio...
Autoregressive electronic health record (EHR) foundation models predict the next event token in patient trajectories: sequences of structured medical events. A typical pretraining strategy is to concatenate all trajectories into a global stream and sample token windows from it. This gives patients with longer sequences...
Simplicity bias, which can arise from sequential feature learning during training, has been proposed as a general explanation for the success of deep learning. An important driver of this phenomenon is saddle-to-saddle behavior, in which the gradient flow trajectory remains close to a sequence of saddle manifolds while...
The new approach, known as FLEX, could lead to more intuitive, interactive household and assistive robots.
By learning how matter moves, the WorldParticle system could assist with developing soft robots, medicines, and more.
A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
