Beyond a Better Score: Long-Horizon Agentic ML Development and Evaluation Protocol for Physics Time Series

Physics time-series data are central to fundamental discoveries involving dark matter, neutrinos, and gravitational waves. Machine learning has shown strong potential to recover weak scientific signals buried in complex noise. Recent LLM-agent systems further automate ML development, but existing approaches are often d...

Historical Anchors for Scientific Forecasting on Human-Aware Knowledge Graphs

Predicting which scientific connections will form next can point researchers toward the most promising leads. One successful approach learns representations by sampling paths through publication networks, represented by a hypergraph, that connect scientific entities, concepts, and researchers, approximating how knowled...

DShuttleNet: A Badminton Doubles Dataset for Evaluating Team Coordination

Most existing sports datasets are individual-centric or ball-centric, focusing on individual player actions while ignoring interactions among teammates. In badminton doubles, tactical success is governed by rapid team formation and coordination, yet standard resources for modeling these player interactions are scarce....

Perfect Reconstruction Cannot Show Whether Two Codebooks on a VAE's Latent Space Agree

Many systems read the latent space of a variational autoencoder (VAE) as discrete codes, and rely on each latent being read back as the code it was written as. Shannon (1948) took such a shared codebook as given; inside a VAE nothing enforces it. We prove that no item of a standard training report can reveal whether th...

SIRNET: Causal Adaptation of Pretrained Embeddings for Semiparametric Treatment-Effect Estimation Under Surrogacy

Modern experiments increasingly produce rich post-treatment objects---such as text, images, and video---that may provide early surrogate signals for outcomes that are delayed, expensive, or observed only for a subset of participants. A pretrained encoder can turn such an object into a strong generic embedding, but the...

Generalized PINN-Based Inverse Estimation of Spatially Varying Heat Transfer Coefficients with Transfer Learning

This study investigates generalized boundary representations and transfer learning for physics-informed neural-network (PINN) estimation of spatially varying convective heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) in jet impingement cooling. Piecewise-linear (PWL) and neural-network boundary estimators are inferred from transient...

DoSA: Dots Sparse Attention

Sparse attention visits few keys, yet finding them can still require scoring every key with every indexer head. We introduce DoSA (Dots Sparse Attention), a lossless method for making this computation conditional while preserving exact token selection. Its central observation is that Top-K selection requires sufficient...

PRIME: Frequency-Aware Unified Pruning and Merging for MoE Compression

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have emerged as an effective paradigm for scaling large language models, yet their massive parameter footprint poses severe memory challenges for deployment. Existing compression methods typically treat expert pruning and merging as disjoint operations and rely on greedy heuristics, ofte...

LACRM: LLM-Guided Mining of Directed Advertiser Competition Relationships in E-Commerce Advertising

In e-commerce advertising, ad platforms typically fail to model the externalities among advertisers when making optimization decisions: an advertiser's actual performance is largely shaped by rivals competing for the same users; these rivals typically operate in overlapping product categories and at comparable budget s...

MDN-VJEPA: Multimodal Probabilistic Joint-Embedding World Models

Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) learn world models by predicting future representations rather than reconstructing observations. Variational JEPA (VJEPA) gives this prediction probabilistic semantics and permits flexible conditional predictive families. We propose MDN-VJEPA, a multimodal probabilistic...

Measuring Concept Content in Text from LLM Activations: ESG Evidence from Concept Vectors and Linear Probes

Recent work shows that Large Language Models (LLMs) encode more information in their activations than they show in their responses. We ask whether the information contained in activations could be used as a source of measurement for the presence of concepts. We compare two algorithms for extraction of concepts, i.e., R...

LLM-OSDA: An Optimal-Stopping Dynamic Auction for Native Advertising in Multi-Turn LLM Conversations

LLM-native advertising embeds sponsored content directly into model-generated responses, shifting the unit of sale from a fixed slot to a moment within an evolving conversation. Existing LLM ad-auction mechanisms primarily operate within a single response, settling the winner but not the timing. The extension is nontri...
