Flow-based Spectral Kernel Learning for Nonstationary Attention

Flow-based spectral kernel attention (FSKA), a framework for learning expressive nonstationary attention kernels, is proposed and it is shown that expressive kernel learning enables a simplified attention design with removed query--key projections and fixed orthogonal value projections, resulting in a more parameter-ef...

Same Beliefs, Different Policies: Learning Reusable Representations for Early Stopping in LLM Reasoning

BELT (BELief-based Termination), which separates outcome prediction from stopping control from end-to-end controllers, and its accuracy-cost trade-offs are competitive with or better than those of end-to-end controllers.

High-Value Training Data from Noisy, Diverse Sources

Training state-of-the-art models increasingly requires learning from large, heterogeneous datasets whose examples vary in quality, domain relevance, and source of supervision. Dataweighting---assigning different weights to training examples---offers a general way to control how such data influences training, but learni...

Soft Ontology Priors over Latent Concept Posteriors for Weakly Supervised Neuro-Symbolic Learning

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) predictors that supervise only the task label suffer from reasoning shortcuts: distinct concept mappings achieve the same maximum likelihood, leaving the recovered concepts unidentifiable and unsafe for downstream reuse. We attack this failure by injecting a soft ontology prior over the latent con...

A Transformer-based Approach for Real-time Multi-agent Path Planning with Varying Initial/Final Conditions

We address the problem of real-time multi-agent path planning under prescribed initial and final configurations, formulated as a high-dimensional optimal control problem subject to inter-agent collision avoidance and obstacle constraints. Classical solvers based on the Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equation or Pontryagin's...

Route-and-Generate: KL-Regularized Router Improvement for Reasoning Routing in LLMs

Large language models often apply complex reasoning indiscriminately, leading to overthinking on simple tasks and underthinking on harder ones. We present Route-and-Generate (Rouge), a hierarchical training framework that enables LLMs to adaptively decide when and how much reasoning is required for each input. Our appr...

Consistency Is Not Validity: Self-Rewarded Moral Argumentation Makes Language Models Decisive but Pliable

It is concluded that consistency under reordering can be optimized without improving the moral judgment it is meant to signal: consistency under reordering can be optimized without improving the moral judgment it is meant to signal.

On the Adversarial Vulnerability of Neural Receivers with Unrolled LDPC Decoders

It is shown that standard gradient-based attacks applied end-to-end through an unrolled low-density parity-check decoder fail to significantly outperform a matched-power Gaussian perturbation, and two structurally independent loss functions are proposed that restore attack efficacy.

AQL-Lite: Enabling Efficient Knowledge Acquisition for Arabic LLMs via Data-Centric Continual Pretraining

Training Arabic large language models faces challenges from noisy web data, dialectal variation, and the high cost of continual pretraining (CPT). We introduce AQL-Lite (AQL: Arabic Quality Language), a time- and resource-efficient framework for adapting a multilingual LLM to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). AQL-Lite coup...

TerraTransfer++: Demonstration-Free End-to-End Planner

End-to-end autonomous driving has achieved state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks and real-world deployments. Its standard training recipe, however, is expensive across all existing paradigms: imitation learning requires fleet-scale driving logs whose behavior distribution only thinly covers the safety-critical tai...

SciFusion: Physics-Guided Compositional Diffusion for Multimodal 3D Scientific Image Generation

Existing 3D generative approaches are typically developed for individual imaging modalities, requiring substantial modality-specific data and limiting their ability to exploit shared structure across scientific imaging domains. We present SciFusion, a multimodal framework for unified 3D scientific image generation buil...

EgoHand: Monocular 3D Hand Reconstruction from Egocentric Video

We introduce EgoHand, a monocular 3D hand reconstruction model that achieves state-of-the-art performance on egocentric video. Central to our approach is the curation of a high-quality training corpus of 14 million images, combining synthetic data, in-the-wild video, and multi-camera motion capture to balance scene div...
