Characterizing and Mitigating Distributional Bias in Physics-Informed Generative Models

A data-anchored penalty is proposed that weights prediction errors by the residual Jacobian at the clean training sample and normalizes the resulting magnitude, which removes the incentive to relocate to less sensitive states without changing the model architecture or sampling procedure.

The Language of Looking: Motion Tokens Reveal Domain-Dependent Local Structure in Gaze Sequences

Human gaze is the primary high-bandwidth interface through which we parse the semantics of our environment. While often modeled as a sequence, the degree to which gaze exhibits transferable local structure across domains remains underexplored. Using motion tokenization as a diagnostic lens across four diverse datasets,...

Optimal Transport PAC-Bayes Bounds

PAC-Bayesian generalization bounds are among the strongest distribution-dependent guarantees in statistical learning and are typically expressed in terms of the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between a prior and posterior distribution. While analytically convenient, the KL divergence requires the posterior to be abso...

DeepFlow: Two Convergent Differentiable Approaches for Pairwise Conditional Random Fields

Basic probabilistic models form the basis of modern deep learning largely by defining the final activation layer of a network and allowing the networks outputs to be interpreted through a probabilistic lens. By increasing the complexity of these final activation layers to include features such as spatial regularisation...

Learning Graded Sparse Mechanisms: A Representation Theorem and Certified Generalization

In a variety of multi-agent and physical environments, an element's update depends strongly on a few other elements and weakly on many, and both the identity and the number of the elements that matter change with the state of the system. Such graded sparse mechanisms are common, for instance, in flocks, crowds, learned...

Reinforcement Learning with Hawkes-Structured Networks for Market Making

Market making under realistic order-flow dynamics is challenging due to the clustered, self-exciting nature of order arrivals, which are naturally modeled by non-Markovian Hawkes processes. We propose a model-free reinforcement learning (RL) framework for market making with general Hawkes order-flow dynamics. We first...

Asymptotic Risk of Learning-Rate Schedules for Least-Squares Regression with Discretely Distributed Features

We study the last iterate of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) on streaming least squares with discretely distributed features (Slock's model), which decouples the dynamics across eigendirections. Under power-law source and capacity conditions, we derive the exact finite-time risk and asymptotic equivalents of constant...

ECHO: Correcting Time Series Foundation Model Forecasts with Historical Analogues and Errors

This work proposes ECHO, a black-box forecast correction framework that uses AnalogE to assess retrieved historical analogues together with the current context and base forecast, learning transferable corrections through cross-domain pretraining and dynamically combines the two corrections according to their observed f...

Resample the Answer: Where to Spend Test-Time Compute in Recursive Reasoning

Recursive reasoning models such as the Tiny Recursive Model (TRM) iteratively refine two latent states: an answer state y, decoded into the output, and a reasoning state z, which is never decoded. Many of their failures have been attributed to bad basins, regions of latent space that trap the recursion on wrong answers...

Learning $\omega$-Powered Conditional Distributions with Importance-Weighted Flow Matching

Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) with guidance scale $\gamma$ is commonly motivated by the $\omega$-powered conditional distribution obtained by setting $\omega=\gamma$, but CFG does not, in general, sample from this distribution exactly. We study whether the powered target can instead be learned explicitly. We introduce...

Sampling from Neural Operator Priors to Solve Partial Differential Equations

Guided sampling with sparse observations and PDE residuals has recently been combined with neural operator priors to solve partial differential equations in function space, their natural setting. We pair such a prior with pseudo-bootstrap sequential Monte Carlo (pBS SMC), a guided sampling framework that accommodates p...

LoongSage: A Production-Grade, High-Efficiency Agentic RL Framework for Frontier LLMs with Validated Recipes

Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a critical phase in the post-training pipeline of large language models (LLMs). As the frontier of LLM capabilities shifts from static reasoning to agentic tasks--characterized by external tool invocation, multi-turn interactions, and long-horizon decision-making--existing mai...
