Prestress governs the stability, stiffness, and dynamic behavior of tensegrity structures, but it is not directly observable from sparse structural measurements, and it may decrease during service life. Under strong excitation, the cables may slacken and the dynamics become nonsmooth. Existing identification methods ar...

This paper develops a mean-field formation transport method with low online computational cost for large-scale multi-agent systems. Classical mean-field planners often require repeated solutions of coupled forward and backward partial differential equations, making online replanning computationally demanding. Density a...
Probing frozen representations layer by layer is now standard practice, but reporting when a signal first becomes decodable requires a rule for reading a depth curve, and the obvious rule is wrong. On synthetic curves with known ground truth, requiring a probe score to exceed a null-calibrated threshold for three conse...

Evolution equations with time-dependent coefficients force a neural solver to spend capacity on a scale that the equation already determines. We show that a single classical object, the Ermakov-Pinney scale function $\rho$, can be written into the input layer of a physics-informed neural network as a parameter-free emb...

Many causal inference problems require sampling from interventional outcome distributions rather than estimating low-dimensional summaries. Existing approaches often rely on fitting generative models of the target distribution together with additional nuisance components, which can be computationally demanding for high...

Large language models (LLMs) can memorize and reproduce fragments of their training data, raising privacy and legal concerns that motivate machine unlearning. Yet poisoned training examples can remain statistically detectable after unlearning, which raises the question of whether current unlearning objectives remove wh...

Fast Dominance Estimation Clustering (FastDEC) is an efficient variant of Density Peak Clustering (DPC) that achieves high clustering quality through dominance-based density estimation, but remains constrained by the computational cost of exact k-nearest-neighbor (k-NN) construction and dominance component (DC) process...

Graph forecasting systems often rely on prediction intervals to quantify uncertainty across connected locations, but the true outcomes needed for evaluation may be only partially observed. We study how an auditor can selectively retrieve missing outcomes to determine whether there exists a connected group whose outcome...
Koopman representations describe nonlinear dynamics through linear evolution in a transformed space, offering an attractive framework for their linear simplicity and generality. Yet these advantages do not necessarily translate into improved performance in deep latent data assimilation (LDA). We systematically compare...

Neural controlled differential equations (Neural CDEs) evolve hidden states along continuous paths constructed by interpolating discrete observations. Sparse measurements leave the input between observation times undetermined, and admissible continuous paths consistent with the same data can produce different terminal...
Large Language Models (LLMs) often generate fluent yet incorrect responses, making un- certainty estimation important for reliable deployment. Semantic Entropy (SE) estimates uncertainty by clustering responses based on semantic equivalence, but it relies on hard entailment-based clustering. We propose Embedding Semant...

Hyperparameter optimization (HPO) returns a single optimal configuration, systematically discarding the explored performance landscape that encodes how results depend on configuration choices. Fitness landscape analysis comprises a robust collection of methods from evolutionary computation offering ruggedness indices,...
