Diffusion and flow-matching models may struggle to accurately represent distributional tails, especially for heavy-tailed data. Existing approaches often use heavy-tailed noise or modify the generative dynamics, requiring dedicated retraining and more difficult estimation. We take a simpler approach: rather than relear...
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) enables transformers to solve complex reasoning tasks by generating intermediate reasoning steps. Despite strong empirical success, the mechanisms by which such reasoning abilities emerge during training remain poorly understood, particularly from a theoretical perspective. In this work, we study...
In a variety of multi-agent and physical environments, an element's update depends strongly on a few other elements and weakly on many, and both the identity and the number of the elements that matter change with the state of the system. Such graded sparse mechanisms are common, for instance, in flocks, crowds, learned...
We study the last iterate of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) on streaming least squares with discretely distributed features (Slock's model), which decouples the dynamics across eigendirections. Under power-law source and capacity conditions, we derive the exact finite-time risk and asymptotic equivalents of constant...

This work extends BCP to covariate shift through importance weighting, preserving its guarantees when the density ratio is known, and proves that this approach recovers the same report asymptotically under an interpretable condition and characterize the resulting bias otherwise.
Sparse autoencoder (SAE) features are typically discovered from how their activations co-vary with behaviour, yet they are often used through interventions such as steering or ablation. We take intervention attribution, the first-order effect of a specified intervention on the model output, as our estimand. For a broad...
Real-world datasets often exhibit severe class imbalance, degrading the performance of deep learning models, particularly on rare classes. While imbalance is well studied in binary and multiclass settings, it is substantially more challenging in multilabel problems due to complex label co-occurrence. In clinical applic...
Verifier-guided inference-time scaling uses additional computation to score intermediate states and steer generation toward better outputs. However, imperfect intermediate verifiers can distort sampling, and repeated refinement alone does not ensure recovery of the desired reward-tilted distribution. We introduce Conti...
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models combine specialized experts through an input-dependent routing mechanism, and their sparse variants underpin many modern large-scale systems. Yet the statistical cost of adaptive routing remains only partially understood. We study the estimation error of least-squares MoE estimators when...
Prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) are transformers pretrained on simulated datasets to approximate Bayesian posterior predictive distributions. Standard PFN theory assumes a separable task prior, under which the feature distribution and the mechanism generating labels from features are independent. We show that common...
We study prediction with expert advice over $T$ rounds with $K$ experts under heavy-tailed losses whose $(1+\epsilon)$-moment is bounded by $\theta>0$ for some $\epsilon\in(0,1]$. In this setting, existing algorithms designed for the case $\epsilon=1$ can be suboptimal when $\epsilon<1$, suffering an additional polynom...
Bayesian optimization uses posterior uncertainty to decide where to explore, but this uncertainty is not spatially neutral. On bounded domains, Gaussian-process posterior variance is typically larger near faces, edges, and corners, giving variance-based acquisition functions a systematic boundary bias. This spatial pre...
