Mixing Regularization for Average-Reward $Q$-Learning and $Q$-Planning

The average-reward setting for reinforcement learning is challenging because its Bellman operator is known to contract in span only when the underlying Markov chain is mixing. Whereas existing work typically assumes a contraction property, e.g., through environment mixing, we consider the setting where we are given a r...

Too Late to Prune: Generative AI, the Screen, and Team Creative Decisions

Generative AI makes options cheap and shifts the bottleneck of creative work from generating options to screening them. We argue that AI's value depends on whether its options arrive before or after the team's screen. In our model, early options compete for a place in the portfolio; late options arrive after that compe...

Fitting Every Hint Is Not Enough: Premature Floods in Recurrent Algorithmic Reasoners

Recurrent algorithmic reasoners are trained with per-step hints on small graphs and run for many more steps on large ones. On breadth-first search in SALSA-CLRS, we find that a reasoner can reproduce every training hint and still fail on deep graphs: after some exact steps, it declares nodes reached before the search g...

Humans vs. Machines: A Comparison With AI Agents in Software Reverse Engineering

Can an autonomous AI agent reverse engineer a binary as well as a skilled human analyst? Do they adopt the same strategy, and can agents scale to real-world programs? We compare human and LLM-based software reverse engineering (SRE): nine models tackle two compact static-analysis challenges previously solved by human a...

Counterfactual Rollouts for Offline Contrastive Goal-Conditioned Reinforcement Learning

Contrastive reinforcement learning (CRL) learns goal-conditioned values by associating state--action pairs with the states subsequently reached, assuming that no unobserved variable jointly affects the recorded action and its outcome. When offline demonstrations come from a demonstrator with information hidden from the...

Probabilistic Multi-Source Data Selection via Learnable Categorical Priors: Variance Reduction and Guaranteed Derandomization

Bilevel data selection is a fundamental task with numerous applications in machine learning and statistics. A common strategy for tackling this problem is to relax the original bilevel combinatorial optimization into a continuous one. However, existing methods, including 0-1 relaxation and probabilistic relaxation, sti...

Getting Space Right: Agentic Rewards for Image Generation

Reinforcement learning (RL) is promising for spatial text-to-image generation, but existing work largely focuses on policy optimization, assuming accurate rewards and effective online rollouts. We observe in-domain gains with out-of-domain degradation, exposing two limitations: unreliable spatial rewards in open-world...

Cross-Lingual TTS for Indian Languages: A Benchmark and Inference-Time Duration Estimation Strategies

Recent alignment-free Text-to-Speech (TTS) models achieve high synthesis quality by removing explicit alignment modules and simplifying training. However, they often struggle in cross-lingual scenarios due to differences in character durations across languages, leading to duration mismatch and degraded speech quality....

AI-Native Product Management: A Vision

Artificial intelligence is increasingly used to support product management tasks. At the same time, AI-native research and development (R&D) may increase software realization capacity. Organizations may realize software faster than they can identify, qualify, and reconsider what should be realized. This paper asks how...

Seamless Deployment of Machine Learning Inference at the Far Edge: An Empirical AWS IoT Greengrass Architecture for Industrial Predictive Maintenance

Industrial IoT sensors produce continuous, high-volume data streams that predictive maintenance needs to analyse in real time. Cloud-centric architectures send all raw telemetry to central servers, which costs latency, bandwidth and resilience. This paper presents a hybrid cloud-edge architecture for manufacturing pred...

Depth-progressive 3D seismic velocity model building via 2D generative diffusion models

A depth-progressive framework that achieves 3D VMB using 2D generative diffusion models through a depth-as-channel formulation, in which the depth dimension of each 3D velocity patch is mapped to the channel dimension of a 2D U-Net, which effectively propagates shallow velocity priors downward and produces high-quality...

YOUDrive: Driving Style as a Composable Direction for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

End-to-end driving policies can achieve strong task performance while offering limited control over their driving style. Driving style describes how a vehicle accelerates, brakes, and maintains distance. Policies trained without explicit preference conditioning lack a direct mechanism for adjusting these behaviors at i...
