Grokking or Glitching? How Low-Precision Drives Slingshot Loss Spikes

Deep neural networks exhibit periodic loss spikes during unregularized long-term training, a phenomenon known as the "Slingshot Mechanism." Existing work usually attributes this to intrinsic optimization dynamics, but its triggering mechanism remains unclear. This paper proves that this phenomenon is a result of floati...

3BASiL: An Algorithmic Framework for Sparse plus Low-Rank Compression of LLMs

Sparse plus Low-Rank $(\mathbf{S} + \mathbf{LR})$ decomposition of Large Language Models (LLMs) has emerged as a promising direction in model compression, aiming to decompose pre-trained model weights into a sum of sparse and low-rank matrices $(\mathbf{W} \approx \mathbf{S} + \mathbf{LR})$. Despite recent progress, ex...

Uncertainty Quantification in Federated Granger Causality Learning

Granger causality identifies predictive dependencies in multivariate time series. In distributed settings where parties cannot share data, federated causal learning enables joint analysis. Most federated causal methods assume that clients observe the same features and infer causal relationships as point estimates, with...

The Sample Complexity of Membership Inference and Privacy Auditing

A membership-inference attack gets the output of a learning algorithm, and a target individual, and tries to determine whether this individual is a member of the training data or an independent sample from the same distribution. A successful membership-inference attack typically requires the attacker to have some knowl...

Density Ratio Estimation with Stein Displacement Fields

Density ratios quantify distribution shift from a probability-mass point of view, whereas displacement fields describe, from a dynamical point of view, how one distribution is transported onto another. Although both offer complementary insights, they are usually estimated separately, and converting one into the other r...

ISBO: Scalable Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Optimization with Log Gaussian Cox Process Models via the INLA-SPDE Approach

INLA-SPDE Spatio-Temporal Bayesian Optimization is introduced, the first scalable BO framework for spatio-temporal data, that models the log-intensity with a Log-Gaussian Cox Process and performs inference via Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation and Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (INLA-SPDE) approach.

Quickest Change Detection with Diffusion-Integrated Scores

Classical CUSUM relies on the log-likelihood ratio of the underlying distributions, which cannot generally be computed from finite pre- and post-change samples alone. We propose diffusion-integrated score CUSUM (DI-SCUSUM), a training-free detector. We add Gaussian noise to the samples to form two smooth density estima...

Differentiable Systematic Resampling for Variational Sequential Monte Carlo

Particle filters are a standard tool for nonlinear state estimation, but their resampling step is discrete, preventing gradient-based learning in variational sequential Monte Carlo. We introduce Differentiable Systematic Resampling (DSR), a temperature-controlled relaxation of systematic resampling, that preserves the...

Diffusion Removes Langevin's Conditioning Dependence: A Sharp Gaussian Analysis

Despite their empirical success, why diffusion models overcome the bottlenecks of classical score-based samplers remains unclear. In this work, we leverage Gaussian distributions to isolate this phenomenon. We establish 2-Wasserstein convergence bounds for optimized hyperparameters, showing that diffusion processes ach...

Efficient and Generalizable Archetypal Analysis for Discrete Data

Archetypal Analysis (AA) represents observations as convex combinations of extremal data-driven profiles, yielding interpretable low-dimensional descriptions of complex datasets. Classical AA relies on a least-squares objective, which is poorly suited to discrete observations such as binary, count, and categorical data...

Efficient quadratic entropy with distance sketches

We detail scalable methods for approximating the quadratic entropy $p^T d p$ for arbitrary distributions $p$ and common distances $d$ of negative type. We focus on the Euclidean and spherical geodesic cases, which both use random feature embeddings and projections to dramatically improve computational complexity within...

Score-Based Learning of Cluster DAGs from Interventions

COARSE is introduced, the first score-based method for this task: it keeps the two-phase structure but, under linear Gaussian assumptions, swaps the constraint-based edge phase for a score-based one, and proves that the procedure runs in polynomial time and, provided the variables affected by each intervention are corr...
