Learning to Price Electricity for Optimal Demand Response

There is considerable interest in using time-varying electricity prices to shape consumer demand response, and better align energy demand with renewable production. However, optimal prices generally vary over time in response to complex signals such as weather forecasts, sunrise/sunset times, and day-of-week patterns;...

Adaptive Conformal Prediction for Image Regression Models with Application to an Inertial Confinement Fusion Emulator

Uncertainty quantification is critical in scientific machine learning, where black-box, image-based models are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings. In many such applications, model outputs inform costly decisions, yet most methods provide only point estimates without quantifying predictive uncertainty. This c...

Fractional Laplace Neural Operators: Exact Architectures, an Expressivity Frontier at Criticality, and Certified Stability for Memory-Driven Network Dynamics

Neural operators learn maps between function spaces, while hereditary network dynamics are described by Volterra resolvents with non-rational Laplace symbols. We introduce a fractional Laplace neural operator (fLNO) that embeds this structure in the learned map. For commuting excitation--Laplacian pairs, one block grap...

Heteroskedastic Canonical Polyadic Tensor Decomposition

When minimizing the squared-error loss, the popular CP decomposition can be interpreted as parameter inference in a Gaussian model with a low-rank mean tensor and constant variance across the tensor entries. We introduce heteroskedastic-CP (HCP), which models entrywise variability with a non-constant, low-rank precisio...

ChainLoRA: Geometry-Preserving Task Vector Merging for Continual Learning in LLMs

Continual parameter-efficient fine-tuning for large language models (LLMs) must balance retention of previously acquired knowledge, adaptation to new tasks, and strict parameter budgets. We present \textbf{ChainLoRA}, a replay-free continual merging framework built on chain-updated task-vector geometry. From a paramete...

Transferable Graph Metanetworks

This work proposes Transferable Graph Metanetworks, which extends the graph metanetwork paradigm with a set of modifications that make performance transferable across input networks of different widths, and proves size-generalization guarantees for the model on $\mu$P-trained inputs.

Weighted Data Selection: Sharp Upper-Half and Five-Dimensional Laws

How much risk does a small reweighted training support retain? For finite weighted least squares with the minimum-norm learner, we prove the exact law $\Gamma_d(n)=3-n/d$ throughout $\lceil3d/2\rceil\leq n\leq2d-1$. The guarantee covers every observed feature rank and uses selections that preserve the full feature span...

Muon meets Tamed Langevin: Momentum Preconditioning beyond Convex and gradient-Lipschitz Potentials

We consider the problem of sampling from Gibbs distributions on matrix spaces whose potential energies are neither convex nor globally gradient-Lipschitz. We introduce a family of non-quadratic kinetic energies that lead to a new underdamped Langevin system with momentum preconditioning, in which the gradient of the ki...

The Curvature of Regret in Contextual Linear Optimization

Decision-focused learning for linear optimization is complicated by the discontinuity of the optimizer, where small cost errors may leave the decision unchanged or move it to a different vertex. We show that this non-smooth pointwise behavior becomes locally quadratic after averaging over the data distribution, and we...

Sharp Non-Asymptotic Analysis of the Penalized Challenger in $\beta$-EB-TCI for Bernoulli Bandits

Top-two algorithms are simple and effective for fixed-confidence best-arm identification, but their sharp non-asymptotic behavior is still not well understood. We study this problem for Bernoulli bandits through $\beta$-EB-TCI, the empirical-best top-two rule of Jourdan et al., whose challenger is chosen using a Bernou...

Inferring Multi-Timescale Neural Dynamics with Switching Linear Dynamical Systems

Neural activity often exhibits multiple timescales that can vary with behavioral states and task conditions. Identifying these timescales from neural recordings is important for better understanding neural computation and function. However, traditional approaches based on autocorrelation fitting are difficult to scale...

In-context Learning of Single-index Targets: Comparing Kernel and Feature Learners

In-context learning (ICL) enables a pretrained model to infer a task from demonstrations without updating its parameters. While much of the existing theory focuses on linear target functions, in this paper we study nonlinear cases by comparing two one-layer attention architectures on the same family of single-index tas...
