Beyond Global Divergences: A Local-Mass Perspective on Bayesian Inference

Global objectives, such as KL divergence and ELBO, are widely used in Bayesian inference for measuring distributional discrepancy. This paper studies distributional ``local-mass behaviours'' that are not directly captured by such global objectives. We introduce and use two mathematical tools: (1) Mass Index for recordi...

On the Limits of LLM Adaptability: Impact of Model-Internalized Priors on Annotation Task Performance

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for zero-shot annotation and LLM-as-a-judge tasks, yet their reliability hinges on how model-internalized priors interact with user-provided instructions. We investigate three dimensions of this interaction: (1) how an LLM's familiarity with data and task definitions r...

Escaping the Capacity Ceiling: Routing on the Stiefel Manifold for Bilinear SPD Layers

Deep networks on the symmetric positive-definite (SPD) manifold promise expressive representations by encoding data geometry as an inductive bias, but stacking BiMap layers with the standard ReEig nonlinearity often adds no capacity: on real, preconditioned EEG data, ReEig rarely activates, so the stack behaves as a si...

AREX: Affine-Residual Exponential Integrator for Few-Step Sampling in Flow Matching

We introduce AREX, a training-free sampler for pretrained flow matching models that uses the target mean and covariance to capture an analytically tractable part of the sampling dynamics. We show that the velocity field of the moment-matched Gaussian target is the $L^2$-optimal affine approximation to the marginal velo...

Nearly Optimal Fixed-Confidence Best-Arm Identification with 1-Bit Feedback

We study fixed-confidence best-arm identification under strict 1-bit feedback constraints. At each round, the learner selects an arm and a query set, and receives only a single bit indicating whether the sampled reward belongs to that set. We consider a distribution-free finite-variance setting with arm-wise localizati...

Generalization Bounds for Flow-matching Generative Models for Intrinsically Low-dimensional Data

The results demonstrate that flow matching naturally adapts to the intrinsic geometry of data and mitigates the curse of dimensionality, as the convergence exponent depends on the intrinsic rather than ambient dimension.

Learning Style, Forgetting Semantics: A Case Study of SFT and RFT on Classification Tasks

Why does supervised fine-tuning (SFT) lead to more forgetting than reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT), even when all teacher demonstrations are semantically correct? We study this question on classification tasks where tokens within each semantic class express the same semantic answer in different styles. The tasks share...

Counterfactual Predictions in Scientific Emulators Without Controlled Experiments

Many scientific questions require reasoning about what was never observed: What if the conditions, interventions, or history had been different? Models can predict accurately on observed data yet fail on such what-if queries when correlated inputs are varied independently. A common remedy is to add controlled simulatio...

Development and in Vitro Evaluation of Ferti-Max for Extended Liquid Storage of Broiler Breeder Rooster Semen

This study describes the formulation and in vitro evaluation of FERTI-MAX, a proprietary extender developed through iterative, osmolality-guided optimization to approximate the osmotic and pH environment of chicken seminal plasma. Successive prototypes were narrowed from an initial hypertonic range of approximately 520...
