On the Optimal Sample Complexity of Offline Multi-Armed Bandits with KL Regularization

A sharp analysis of KL-PCB (Zhao et al., 2026), showing that it achieves a sample complexity of $\tilde{O}(\eta SAC^{\pi^*}/\epsilon)$ under large regularization and a sample complexity of $\tilde{\Omega}(SAC^{\pi^*}/\epsilon^2)$ under small regularization.

DeGenTWeb: A First Look at MGT-dominant Websites

Many news reports have claimed that machine-generated text (MGT) from large language models (LLMs) is taking over the web. However, these claims are typically not based on a representative sample of the web, and the methodology underlying them is often opaque. Consequently, we lack an understanding of the true prevalen...

AmaraSpatial-10K: A Spatially and Semantically Aligned 3D Dataset for Spatial Computing and Embodied AI

Web-scale 3D asset collections are abundant but rarely ready to ingest without cleanup, suffering from arbitrary metric scaling, incorrect pivots, brittle geometry, and incomplete textures, defects that limit their use in embodied AI, robotics, and spatial computing. We present AmaraSpatial-10K, a dataset of 10,071 syn...

Ctrl-A: Control-Driven Machine Learning using Adaptive Online Data Augmentation

We introduce ControlAugment (Ctrl-A), an automated data augmentation algorithm for image-vision tasks, which incorporates principles from control theory for online adjustment of augmentation strength distributions during model training. Ctrl-A eliminates the need for initialization of individual augmentation strengths....

Preconditioned Flow Matching

It is proved that the excess risk is weighted by $\Sigma_t$, and that both gradient descent and stochastic gradient descent inherit condition-number-dependent convergence, and proposed a precondition-then-match framework that transforms the target distribution into a more isotropic representation, trains the main flow...

Flowette: Flow Matching with Graphette Priors for Graph Generation

We study generative modeling of graphs with recurring subgraph motifs. We propose Flowette, a continuous flow matching framework that employs a graph neural network-based transformer to learn a velocity field over graph representations with node and edge attributes. Our model promotes topology-aware alignment through o...

MIDAS: Mosaic Input-Specific Differentiable Architecture Search

Differentiable Neural Architecture Search (NAS) provides efficient, gradient-based methods for automatically designing neural networks, yet its adoption remains limited in practice. We present MIDAS, an approach that modernizes DARTS by replacing static architecture parameters with dynamic, input-specific parameters co...

A swap-adversarial framework for domain generalization in pre- and post-stimulation Parkinsonian state classification

We propose a novel swap-adversarial framework that mitigates high inter-subject variability and the high-dimensional low-sample-size problem in electrocorticography (ECoG) data. It achieves robust domain generalization across ECoG and electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interface datasets. Our framework i...

Beyond the Dirac Delta: Mitigating Diversity Collapse in Reinforcement Fine-Tuning for Versatile Image Generation

Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a paradigm for fine-tuning large-scale generative models, such as diffusion and flow models, to align with complex human preferences and user-specified tasks. A fundamental limitation remains \textit{the curse of diversity collapse}, where the objective formulation and optimiz...

TS-DP: Reinforcement Speculative Decoding For Temporal Adaptive Diffusion Policy Acceleration

Diffusion Policy (DP) excels in embodied control but suffers from high inference latency and computational cost due to multiple iterative denoising steps. Existing diffusion model (DMs) acceleration methods improve inference speed by reducing computational overhead, as DMs for image generation are computation-bound. In...

Counting Clues: A Lightweight Probabilistic Baseline Can Match an LLM

Large language models (LLMs) excel on multiple-choice clinical diagnosis benchmarks, yet it is unclear how much of this performance reflects underlying probabilistic reasoning. We study this through questions from MedQA that ask for the most likely diagnosis. We introduce Frequency-Based Probabilistic Ranker (FBPR), a...

Detailed balance in large language model-driven agents

Large language model (LLM)-driven agents are emerging as a powerful new paradigm for solving complex problems. Despite the empirical success of these practices, a theoretical framework to understand and unify their macroscopic dynamics remains lacking. This paper proposes a method based on the least action principle to...
