LexiCan: Lexicographic Canonicalization of Point Clouds for Machine Learning Applications

Canonicalization resolves the rotational and permutation ambiguity of 3D point clouds by selecting a unique orbit representative, maintaining their geometric information while allowing standard architectures, such as Transformers, to operate on them. Existing canonicalizations, however, exhibit discontinuity jumps on m...

Beyond Adjacent Layers: Graph-Guided Layer Fusion for Compressing Large Language Models

Existing depth-compression methods for large language models (LLMs) score layers individually or group only adjacent or contiguous layers, implicitly assuming that functional redundancy is local. We test this assumption by computing full pairwise Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA) similarity matrices for thirteen LLMs fro...

Sensor-Aware Joint Data Fusion and State Estimation under Sparse Multi-rate Distribution Grid Sensing

Distribution-system state estimation is a growing necessity for the modern power grid as the addition of local storage and generation add system complexity that an operator or aggregator is not able to directly monitor. Classical methods work well when all system elements are time-synchronized and at least partly obser...

Compute-Optimal Scaling Laws for Spiking Language Models

Spiking neural networks target energy-efficient language modeling through sparse, binary activations, but the efficiency-accuracy tradeoff of spiking language models is uncharacterized at scale. We present the first Chinchilla-style IsoFLOP scaling study of a spiking language model, sweeping SpikeGPT-family models (RWK...

When Dynamic Scaling Fails: A Scale-State Feedback Governs Recurrent-State Quantization in Linear-Attention and SSM LLMs

Linear-attention and state-space LLMs carry long context in a fixed-size recurrent state, and quantizing that state is the natural way to cut its cost during long decode. Unlike a weight tensor, the state is rewritten at every step, so a quantizer applied at each step sits inside the recurrence and its errors compound....

RELAGRAM: Recursive Latent Graph Model for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem

Latent recursion repeatedly processes internal representations through the same neural network. Recent work has shown this approach to be effective on structured reasoning tasks such as Sudoku and maze solving. However, whether latent recursion can support neural routing remains unclear. We introduce RELAGRAM (Recursiv...

Random Feature Pruning for Multi-Class Classification

Weighted sums of random kitchen sinks (W-RKS) is a commonly used feature extraction technique for supervised learning tasks. A major drawback of this method is the redundancy and ineffectiveness of many extracted random features. This paper investigates efficient methods for reducing such redundancy in multi-class clas...

Anchors Enhance Controllability and Reasoning of Diffusion Language Models

Diffusion language models (DLMs) offer new opportunities for controllable text generation. However, their controllability, defined as the ability to satisfy task constraints while preserving their original capabilities, remains underexplored. DLMs' bidirectional attention allows control tokens to guide generation from...

Swarm Telepathy: Prefill-Free KV-Cache Transfer Across Families

LLM multi-agent systems split work across agents that communicate through text. An agent summarizes its findings, another agent receives the text. This constrains communication to discrete tokens and costs redundant compute, limiting bandwidth and capabilities of multi-agent systems. Recent works demonstrate KV-cache t...

On the Theoretical Limits of Learning Unconstrained Interatomic Potentials

Machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) accelerate molecular dynamics (MD) simulations by learning the energies and forces that govern atomic motion. Recent work has shown that relaxing physical inductive biases can improve computational efficiency and predictive accuracy, raising the question of whether energy-...

Toward a Multimodal Foundation Model for Plasma State Reconstruction

Plasma experiments observe coupled physical states through sparse, heterogeneous, and incomplete diagnostics. We present a proof of concept toward a multimodal foundation model for plasma state reconstruction during magnetic reconnection, motivated by the Facility for Laboratory Reconnection Experiments (FLARE). Using...
