ToPA: Block-wise Toeplitz Adaptation for Expressive and Efficient Fine-Tuning

Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has emerged as a prevalent strategy for adapting large pre-trained models. Among PEFT techniques, reparameterization-based methods, particularly those that employ low-rank or sparsity structures, have attracted significant attention. However, these approaches often underperform fu...

Upper bounds on the number of causal pieces in spiking neural networks

The input space of single-spike neural networks decomposes into causal pieces, and the number of causal pieces has been shown to provide a lower bound on the approximation error for some spiking neural networks. While this decomposition is applicable to a wide range of spiking neuron models, the limits of how many caus...

Learnable Splines for Unstructured Neural Operators

Neural operators approximate solution operators of partial differential equations at a fraction of the cost of numerical solvers. Efficient grid-based architectures such as the Fourier neural operator (FNO) assume uniform rectangular grids, whereas engineering simulations use large, irregular, and locally refined meshe...

Null Controls Are Necessary but Not Sufficient: Evaluating Acceptance Guards for Scientific Discovery and Interpretability

Automated discovery systems propose scientific explanations and test which to accept. Does passing a test establish the intended claim? We develop four executable operations for changing physical descriptions: identifying redundancies (L1), coarse-graining dynamics (L2), transferring structure (L3), and inferring missi...

Neural Expansion: A Unified Mechanism for How Deep Neural Networks Generalize

Deep neural networks demonstrate remarkable generalization despite being highly over-parameterized, challenging traditional statistical learning theories. While several theoretical paradigms such as margin-based bounds, PAC-Bayesian analyses, and neural tangent kernels provide global explanations, they often lack mecha...

A Topological Signature of Learning under Noisy Labels

How does noisy supervision change the representations learned by a neural network? Training accuracy measures agreement with training labels but provides little information about representation geometry. We use persistent homology to track loop structure across distance thresholds in neural activations. Experiments spa...

RECREG: Recovery-based Shielding for Regular Safety Properties in Reinforcement Learning

In many real-world scenarios we need to consider formal requirements, such as safety and constraint compliance, to deploy Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents. In this paper we introduce RecReg, a safe RL framework capable of enforcing non-Markovian regular safety properties via recovery-based shielding. RecReg is a unif...

Beyond Marginal Influence: Interaction-Aware Memory Selection for LLM Agents

LLM-agent memory selection often uses retrieval rankings based on record relevance or individual influence. Such rankings cannot identify sufficient subsets under redundant or jointly necessary evidence. We study per-decision memory sufficiency: selecting a small subset that preserves full-memory behavior. To separate...

LangNCO: Compiling Natural-Language Constraints into Inference-Time Interventions for Neural Combinatorial Optimization

Neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) rapidly produces high-quality solutions for problem structures encountered during training, but operational requirements may change after deployment and be communicated in natural language. We propose LangNCO, a framework that compiles instance-specific requirements into structur...

A Stronger Teacher Within: Strengthening MoE Models via On-Policy Bidirectional Distillation

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has substantially improved Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) LLMs, but its outcome-level rewards provide only sparse supervision. On-Policy Distillation offers dense token-level feedback, yet requires a stronger compatible teacher, while on-policy self-distillation relies on...

Tree-Aware Posterior Distillation for Long-Horizon Agentic Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards has become a scalable post-training paradigm for large language models. However, training agents over long-horizon interactions presents two challenges: using only terminal rewards makes turn-level credit assignment sparse and high-variance, while sequential mini-batch upd...
