Langevin-Informed Transfer Learning: Replacing Target Samples by Black-Box Feedback

Many scientific and machine learning systems, from molecular dynamics to diffusion models and beyond, are governed by stochastic dynamics with low-dimensional structure, evolving on slow timescales. However, target trajectories, used to identify and interpret such dynamics, are often inaccessible: only biased or static...

Tight Transition Time Bounds for Separable Logistic Regression at the Edge of Stability

We study logistic regression on linearly separable data under gradient descent with a large constant stepsize $\eta$. Such dynamics may exhibit a characteristic Edge of Stability phenomenon, in which the loss initially oscillates before transitioning to a stable phase of monotone decrease. Existing work provides a tigh...

Clifford Sheaf Neural Networks

We introduce the Clifford Sheaf Neural Network (CSNN), an equivariant sheaf neural network for geometric graphs that places a Clifford algebra on each stalk of a cellular sheaf and transports multivector features along edges. The canonical choice of restriction map for sheaves with algebra-valued stalks is algebra homo...

IQS-BO: In-Context Query Selection for Bayesian Optimisation

Bayesian Optimisation (BO) is a powerful framework for the optimisation of expensive black-box functions, but typically requires refitting a surrogate and maximising an acquisition function at every evaluation step. In-context approaches based on Prior-data Fitted Networks (PFNs) amortise part of this cost by pre-train...

Platonic Task Arithmetic

Distinct pre-trained models specialized for the same task converge to closely similar behavior, yet the parameter updates that produce it share no common coordinate system. Weight-space task arithmetic is therefore confined to a single model, and transporting an update between models requires a structural correspondenc...

Scalable Multi-Task Inverse Reinforcement Learning

Experiments show the proposed multi-task IRL method is robust to limited coverage, recovers rewards on and off of each task's support, and transfers to target environments at lower regret than baselines, with its computational advantage over per-task methods widening as tasks grow.

Signal-Noise Factorization Isolates Nuisance Variation into Removable Subspaces

Recent theoretical work identified fundamental properties of representation geometry that shape inference ability of deep neural networks. These include signal-noise factorization (SNF), the ability to segregate signal from noise, and signal-signal factorization (SSF), the ability to segregate task-specific and task-ir...

Grand Canonical Generators

We introduce Grand Canonical Generators (GCG), a generative framework that extends Boltzmann generators to the grand canonical ensemble. We present two designs. The first conditions a variable-size generative model on the chemical potential, sampling particle number and configuration jointly. The second factorizes the...

Exact information accounting for SGD methods

An exact, information-theoretic analysis of stochastic gradient descent and its variants is given, showing that a preconditioned SGD step is the posterior-mean update of a Gaussian Bayes model, and that its one-step regret splits into an intrinsic-time cost and a change in comparator information.

IrekoGPT: Turning Structured Pruning into Post-Hoc Slimmable LLMs

We introduce IrekoGPT, a post-hoc method for converting pretrained LLMs into slimmable models whose width can be adjusted at inference time. Building on SliceGPT, we retain its projection matrices without pruning them, allowing a single model to expose nested subnetworks at different widths. We improve robustness by ca...

VANDAM: Viewing a nucleotide sequence with DNA molecular priors

Contemporary Genomic Foundation Models (GFMs) rely on a DNA-as-a-string paradigm that employs masked token prediction objectives for pretraining. However, this abstraction does not explicitly model the biochemical, structural, and physical properties essential to biological function. Many molecular properties can be es...

RACE: Residual-Aware Test-Time Adaptation for Neighbor-Rich Time-Series Foundation Model Forecasting

Time-series foundation models (TSFMs) perform strongly across forecasting tasks, but their per-series inference is ill-suited to neighbor-rich forecasting, where each query has access to related but nonidentical historical series. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and Web/cloud workloads exemplify this setting: CGM t...
