NucleoNet: A Nuclear-Aware Determinant Ansatz for Multi-Geometry Neural Variational Monte Carlo

Neural-network variational Monte Carlo provides an accurate route to solving the electronic Schr\"odinger equation, but many neural wavefunctions are optimized for a single nuclear geometry, requiring separate calculations to map out a potential energy surface. We introduce NucleoNet, a nuclear-aware determinant ansatz...

Minions: A Dynamic and Distributed Virtual GPU Cloud Built on Idle Apple Silicon Devices

The increasing demand for GPU-accelerated machine learning inference has exposed limitations in centralized GPU infrastructures, including high cost, limited elasticity, and long wait times under resource constraints. At the same time, modern Apple Silicon-based macOS devices are equipped with powerful GPUs that remain...

From Imbalance to Evidence: Deep Nonparametric Testing for Complex Data under Severe Sample Imbalance

Comparing distributions under severe sample imbalance requires effectively using abundant majority observations while retaining sensitivity to differences involving the smaller sample. This challenge is particularly relevant for complex, non-Euclidean data, such as graphs, whose structural characteristics call for flex...

Sparse Dictionary Learning for Measure-Valued Data via Linearized Optimal Transport: Efficient Algorithms and Sample Complexity

We study dictionary learning for probability measure-valued data by embedding measures into Hilbert spaces using features derived from optimal transport geometry. We learn data-adapted dictionaries through sparse autoencoder parameterizations, producing fast, scalable representations of probability measures as sparse f...

Beyond Second-Order Information: Paid Logistic Regression with Noisy Features

We consider online binary prediction with paid stochastic features, where the learner can spend resources to obtain better observations of the underlying features. This setting is motivated by applications such as medical testing, where additional cost can provide more precise measurements of patient's features for pre...

BLEND: Balancing Personalization vs. Generalization in Federated Vision-Language Models

Federated vision-language models (FedVLMs) represent one of the emerging frontiers of machine learning, aiming to integrate federated learning within the fine-tuning pipelines of vision-language models (VLMs). In this work, we introduce BLEND, a new framework designed to jointly enhance the personalization and generali...

Rethinking the Roles of Diffusion and Decoding: Predictive-State Flows for Parallel Language Generation

Predictive-State Flows (PSF) is introduced, which partitions a sequence into blocks and associates each block with a predictive state computed solely from the preceding context, and suggests that latent design for continuous DLMs should consider not only how compactly text is represented, but also how generative roles...

Generalized Determinantal Point Processes for Attraction and Repulsion with Distinct Interaction Kernels

The determinant-ratio point process (DRPP), which models repulsion and attraction via a ratio of the determinants of two symmetric positive-definite kernels, is proposed, which preserves the feature-based interpretation of standard DPPs while allowing the two effects to be specified separately.

When Solvers Get Moody: Quantifying and Predicting Performance Variability in Mixed Integer Programming

Mixed-integer programming (MIP) solvers are widely used, yet their performance can vary substantially even under seemingly neutral perturbations. Such variability complicates benchmarking, and the interpretation of computational studies. We introduce the Weighted Variability Score (WVS), a robust multi-component metric...

Universal Bounds for Self-Normalized Kullback-Leibler Estimation

This work studies an entropy-based estimator of Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence constructed from normalized importance weights. We prove a universal finite-sample bound showing that its expectation can exceed the target-proposal KL divergence by at most $\log 2$ for any sample size. We then characterize the KL diverge...

Two-way Guidance: Simultaneous Learning of Summary Statistics for Generative Bayes

Bayesian simulation-based inference (SBI) can struggle to recover increasingly concentrated posteriors as observation size grows. We consider learning sufficient summary statistics jointly with the posterior as a general principle for scalable inference in various SBI methods. A common measure taken in SBI is dimension...

APEX: Asynchronous Prefix Denoising for Extreme Compression

Fewer latent tokens promise cheaper diffusion. Yet aggressive latent compression creates a reconstruction-generation dilemma: adding channels improves reconstruction but makes generation harder. We introduce APEX, short for Asynchronous Prefix denoising for EXtreme compression, which pairs a hierarchical latent space w...
