How deep is your network? Deep vs. shallow learning of transfer operators

We introduce RaNNDy, a randomized neural network framework for learning transfer operators and their spectral decompositions. By fixing the weights of the hidden layers and training only the output layer, RaNNDy achieves significant reductions in computational costs -- often by two orders of magnitude -- with similar a...

Efficient Collaborative LLM Fine-Tuning over Heterogeneous Mobile Devices via Many Backbones to One Side-Network Tuning

Collaboratively fine-tuning (FT) large language models (LLMs) over heterogeneous mobile devices fosters immense potential applications of personalized intelligence. However, such a vision faces critical system challenges. Existing federated LLM fine-tuning approaches remain limited by prohibitive on-device resource ove...

Eco-MobiLLM: Efficient LLM Fine-Tuning on the Mobile Device via Server Assisted Side-Tuning

There is a huge gap between numerous intriguing applications fostered by on-device large language model (LLM) fine-tuning (FT) from fresh mobile data and the limited resources of a mobile device. While existing server-assisted methods (e.g., split learning or side-tuning) may enable LLM FT on the local mobile device, t...

Scalable and adaptive prediction bands with kernel sum-of-squares

Conformal Prediction (CP) is a popular framework for constructing prediction bands with valid coverage in finite samples, while being free of any distributional assumption. A well-known limitation of conformal prediction is the lack of adaptivity, although several works introduced practically efficient alternate proced...

Heterogeneous Graph Attention Network With Multimodal Feature Selection for Cancer Multiomics Integration

The increase in high-dimensional multiomics data demands advanced integration models to capture the complexity of human diseases. Graph-based deep learning integration models, despite their promise, struggle with small patient cohorts and high-dimensional features, often applying independent feature selection without m...

Correlations Are Ruining Your Gradient Descent

Natural gradient descent, and the preconditioned optimizers which have followed from it, correct gradient descent by estimating curvature and applying its inverse to the gradient. For any single layer of a deep neural network, this correction can be shown to approximately separate into two factors: one which accounts f...

On the growth of the parameters of approximating ReLU neural networks

This work focuses on the analysis of fully connected feed forward ReLU neural networks as they approximate a given, smooth function. In contrast to conventionally studied universal approximation properties under increasing architectures, e.g., in terms of width or depth of the networks, we are concerned with the asympt...

Subspace Node Pruning

Node pruning is the art of removing computational units such as neurons, filters, attention heads, or even entire layers to significantly reduce inference time while retaining network performance. In this work, we show that a broad family of importance measures, from activation-based to Fisher-based, share a common qua...

PolicyIK: High-Precision Inverse Kinematics for Robot Arms with Reinforcement Learning

Inverse kinematics (IK) converts end-effector pose commands into joint motion, and many vision-language-action (VLA) policies rely on it to act on a given arm and to transfer across embodiments. Precise IK remains laborious: redundancy and singularities complicate the inverse mapping, execution depends on hand-tuned co...

GUILD: Guided Iterative Data Collection for Imitation Learning

Imitation learning policies in robotics are trained on datasets collected through costly real-world teleoperation. Often, the data-collection process is unguided, relying on the teleoperator's intuition, resulting in data that contributes little to overall policy performance. Recent work has shown that curating such un...

Reading Why: Born-Measured Attention with Exact Word Evidence on Light and Qubits

When a language model answers, we can usually only estimate why. We build a transformer in which every step is a Born measurement - attention $|\langle q|k\rangle|^4$ normalised over each row, a measured product in place of the feed-forward nonlinearity, and a Born readout. With its denominators held at their values fo...

A Circuit for In-Context Learning

In-context learning (ICL) lets a pretrained language model perform a task specified by demonstrations in its prompt, with no parameter updates. With arbitrary labels the model must acquire a mapping it cannot have memorized, so the learning happens within a single forward pass. Prior work found candidate parts but not...
