This study forms a graph partitioning problem to construct a global surrogate model that approximates black-box predictions with simpler representations, and selects connected subgraphs to minimize within-cluster residuals in vertex-level predictions.
This work extends BCP to covariate shift through importance weighting, preserving its guarantees when the density ratio is known, and proves that this approach recovers the same report asymptotically under an interpretable condition and characterize the resulting bias otherwise.
Certified robustness is critical for deploying neural networks in safety-sensitive settings, but computing exact certificates typically requires solving nonconvex optimization problems. Practical verifiers use convex relaxations: linear programming (LP) relaxations are scalable but often too conservative, whereas semid...

DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic modification that regulates gene expression and genome stability, primarily catalyzed by the DNA methyltransferase 3 (DNMT3) family of enzymes. Distinguishing precise sequence-specific flanking preferences between DNMT3A and DNMT3B remains computationally challenging due to the...

Knowledge distillation transfers representational knowledge from a large teacher network to a compact student. Existing relational and contrastive distillation methods treat all samples uniformly, spending equal gradient on well-matched and poorly-matched regions of the representation space alike. We propose Representa...
In this paper, we propose the Dissipative Lagrangian Neural Network (dLNN), a continuous-time system identification technique that separately learns the conservative and dissipative dynamics of a mechanical system directly from data. A key contribution is a novel parametrisation of dissipative forces that (i) is struct...
In this work we present a probabilistic model for predicting the temporal evolution of wildfire size using conditional generative algorithms, namely flow matching. Rather than predicting spatially resolved fire progression, the proposed model forecasts a time series of fire acreage, substantially reducing computational...

Spiking Transformers achieve energy efficiency by discarding softmax normalization in favor of thresholded, binary attention. However, this removal breaks the thermodynamic framework used to analyze attention networks, as the normalized measure and partition function cease to exist. We restore this theoretical foundati...

We study pretraining when compute is abundant but unique training data are finite, requiring repeated training on the same data. We first revisit infinite-compute pretraining (Kim et al. 2026) and show that its frontier depends critically on choices previously fixed or studied only in isolation. In particular, optimizi...
We study online multiclass multicalibration over $T$ rounds, and give an algorithm with beyond-worst-case guarantees. With $n$ possible outcomes, forecasts lie in a simplex of dimension $d=n-1$. In the worst case, cumulative $\ell_1$ multicalibration error scales with $\widetilde\Theta(T^{(d+1)/(d+2)})$, which becomes...

Predictive coding networks (PCNs) promise properties not offered by backpropagation-trained networks: learning from purely local information, a single network that both discriminates and generates, and flexible inference by energy minimization. However, their iterative inference is expensive, making hardware accelerati...
Learning solution operators for partial differential equations (PDEs) requires models that can represent spatial structure across grids and scales. This becomes especially important in time-dependent problems, where the learned operator is often used autoregressively: each predicted state is fed back as input to predic...
A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
Research Manager Mike Walker reflects on a career spanning hacker culture, cybersecurity, and AI, sharing lessons about trust, teamwork, leadership, and why solving difficult problems requires curiosity, judgment, agility—and an understanding of the rules. The post Learn the rules: The hacker mindset appeared first on Microsoft Research.
