Macrocanonical Generator Networks: Data-Efficient Neural Surrogates for Amortized Physics Simulation

Many scientific simulations are computationally expensive, limiting their use in simulation-based inference, uncertainty quantification, and decision making. We introduce macrocanonical generator networks, a framework for learning fast, data-efficient neural surrogates for amortized simulation of stationary physical pr...

Beyond Multi-Index Models: Learning Intersections of Degree-2 PTFs

We give an algorithm for PAC learning intersections of $k$ degree-2 polynomial threshold functions over $R^d$ under a Gaussian distribution. Our algorithm achieves classification error $\epsilon$ using $d^{O(k)}2^{O_k(\log^3(1/\epsilon))}$ time and samples, improving over the $d^{O(k^2/\epsilon^2)}$ running time of the...

Exact Selective Inference for Spectral Clustering via Piecewise-Constant Graph Perturbation

Cluster labels are often used twice: first to discover groups, and then to test whether the discovered groups differ. This double use of the data makes ordinary two-sample $p$-values anti-conservative. Selective inference fixes this by conditioning on the clustering event, but for spectral clustering the event appears...

Proper Agnostic Learning of Affine Halfspaces under Log-Concave Marginals

We give a proper constant-factor agnostic learner for affine halfspaces under full-dimensional log-concave marginals. For arbitrary binary labels, the algorithm uses independent labeled samples and returns a single affine halfspace with error at most $C\mathrm{OPT}+\varepsilon$. Its sample and real-arithmetic complexit...

Graph-Localized Coverage for Conformal Prediction on Inductive Graphs

Conformal prediction (CP) provides marginal coverage guarantees, but marginal coverage does not determine where prediction errors occur on a graph. Queries from different graph neighborhoods can exhibit substantially different levels of uncertainty even when aggregate coverage remains near its target. We introduce GLoc...

StreamLTT: Risk Certification for Policy Selection under Stream Dependence

Learn-then-Test (LTT) provides a general framework for certifying deployment policies against a prescribed risk target, but its standard formulation targets a fixed population risk estimated from calibration losses. In sequential deployment, losses may instead be dependent and nonstationary, so the risk of a fixed poli...

Denoising Is Stein: Moment Access and a Resource Hierarchy for Learning Hidden Structure in Diffusion Models

We study score learning from denoising pairs when the data contain a hidden non-Gaussian component. If covariance reveals the component, its subspace can be recovered directly. If covariance is isotropic, the first distinguishing moment has order $k^\ast$, and the learner must extract that moment from clean points and...

RATSIFT: Resolution-Adaptive Transformer for Solar Irradiance Forecasting and Temporal Downscaling

Accurate forecasting and temporal downscaling of solar irradiance is critical for reliable renewable energy integration and grid management. Traditional methods often struggle to capture rapid irradiance variability. In this work, we develop a Transformer-based architecture for simultaneous forecasting and temporal dow...

Minimal Superior Penalties: Characterising and Calibrating Decision-Aware Proper Scoring Rules

Training a classifier means letting a validation metric decide which model is kept and when training stops. A natural requirement on that metric is superiority: every correctly classified forecast should score better than every incorrectly classified one, however close the underlying probabilities are. Neither the Brie...

Four Extensions of the Universal Law of Robustness: Log-Concave Covariates, Heterogeneous Mixtures, Vector-Valued Predictors, and Markovian Data

Bubeck and Sellke's universal law of robustness says that fitting $n$ noisy samples below the noise level with a class of $p$ real parameters forces a Lipschitz constant of order $\sqrt{nd/p}$, when the covariate distribution on $\mathbb{R}^d$ is isoperimetric: smooth interpolation costs a factor $d$ of overparametriza...

How Deep Are Deep GPs, Really? A Sharp Threshold and a Non-Gaussian Limit for Compositional GPs

Compositional priors describe the generic properties of layered functions in deep Bayesian models, where deep neural networks with random weights are a canonical example. In the wide-network limit, the prior is a Gaussian process (GP) with a depth-dependent kernel, and its behaviour as depth grows has been extensively...

Sink vs. diagonal patterns as mechanisms for attention switch and oversmoothing prevention

This paper studies the role of sinks and diagonal patterns as attention switch and anti-oversmoothing mechanisms. We analyze geometric conditions under which sinks can be represented, showing a necessary alignment between the embedding of the sink and all other embeddings. Next, we refine the current understanding of t...
