FUSE: Fairness-aware Update Screening against Byzantine Exploitation in $q$-Fair Federated Learning

FUSE is introduced, a structure-aware robust aggregator that uses a small trusted labeled dataset for coefficient recovery, scale and cone-consistency screening, and post-screening step-size control, and improves seed-wise worst-attack accuracy over the strongest baseline on each benchmark by 3.9--30.1 percentage point...

Harness Policy Distillation: Aligning Agent Policies with Runtime Semantics

Deploying a general-purpose model as an agent means running it inside a product-specific runtime harness that decides which actions are executable, how state advances, and when the loop may terminate. Ordinary trajectory supervision shows which action was taken but leaves the runtime semantics behind that action implic...

Long-Horizon RL Needs Muon

This work examines a single-rollout asynchronous recipe combining Muon, token-averaged loss, truncated importance sampling, and auxiliary length and tool-error penalties that allows asynchronous learning without waiting for multiple trajectories for the same issue.

Retrieval Over Training: Similarity search-based Model Selection for Time Series Anomaly Detection

Anomaly detection is a fundamental task for time-series analytics, with important implications for the downstream performance of many applications. Despite the large number of anomaly detection methods proposed in the literature, recent benchmark studies have shown that no single detector performs best across highly he...

From Spectral to Frobenius: When Muon Loses Its Spectral Implicit Bias

It is proved that Muon can recover its spectral max-margin bias with Newton-Schulz iterations growing logarithmically over training, and disentangle the roles of Newton-Schulz iteration count, the stabilization constant, and the Newton-Schulz polynomial, revealing distinct asymptotic behaviors, including directions tha...

Trainable at Depth, Solvable at Small Size: What the Loss Surface of a Polynomial Activation Dictates for Designing, Initializing and Training Networks

What makes a deep network train, and what shape is its loss surface? We answer both with one construction at two scales: a polynomial activation f (z) = z + {\lambda}z 3 , clamped and projected onto the unit sphere, plus an unnormalized identity path. As a deep stack it trains to one hundred layers on MNIST with no nor...

On the Convergence of Semi-Gradient TD: A Mean Field Perspective

Under this condition, it is proved exponential convergence to a unique fixed point and its bias relative to the unregularized Bellman solution and it is shown that the same mechanism extends to entropy-regularized off-policy control through soft Q-learning.

Provable Transformer Context Compression for In-Context Reinforcement Learning

Transformers can perform in-context reinforcement learning without parameter updates. However, existing theoretical constructions often require context sizes that grow with the number of sampled transitions, leading to increasing memory costs in large-scale problems. This raises a fundamental scalability question: how...

Empirical Boundaries of Reservoir Computing for Few-Shot Sequence Pattern Tasks

Efficient sequence modeling remains a fundamental challenge in machine learning. Despite the success of Transformers, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have recently re-emerged as efficient alternatives. Particularly, Echo State Networks (ESNs) offer a compelling framework of randomized RNNs that have been extensively s...

Safe-FCL: Continual Risk Awareness and Fine-Grained Safety Aggregation for Federated Continual Learning of LLMs

Federated fine-tuning enables large language models (LLMs) to learn collaboratively from distributed client data, but malicious client updates can compromise global model safety. As federated tasks evolve, changing malicious update patterns challenge the ability of existing defenses to maintain reliable risk detection...

Learning Graph Energies for Finite-Time Generation

Energy-based models can represent distributions over discrete structures such as molecular graphs, but an energy that is accurate at equilibrium need not yield accurate samples when the sampler stops after a fixed number of steps. We introduce finite-horizon energy learning, which adapts the acceptance energy of a Metr...
