Physics-Transfer Learning: A Physics-Constrained Theory for Zero-Shot Generalization Along the Ladder of Complexity

Reliable out-of-distribution generalization remains a central challenge in machine learning, particularly when models are deployed in data-scarce high-fidelity domains. Existing approaches often rely on statistical distribution alignment, or invariance assumptions that can fail when domain shifts reflect changes in und...

How language model agents reshape price competition

Repeated Bertrand competition is a stringent benchmark for algorithmic pricing: in homogeneous-goods markets, standard learning procedures typically select the stage-game Nash outcome with prices near marginal cost. We show that LLM pricing agents can escape this benchmark, depending on deployment decisions. LLMs outpe...

Property Estimation in Geotechnical Databases Using Labeled Random Finite Sets

The sufficiency of accurate data is a core element in data-centric geotechnics. However, geotechnical datasets are essentially uncertain, whereupon engineers have difficulty with obtaining precise information for making decisions. This challenge is more apparent when the performance of data-driven technologies solely r...

Waiting Buys Exactly Two Moments: Endogenous Identification in Prediction-Driven Allocation

A planner with a fixed budget of preventive help must decide whom to help and when. Waiting reveals risk but removes intervention opportunities as higher-risk individuals leave first. We characterize this tradeoff under repeated noisy signals and risk-dependent attrition: in the canonical model, a length-$\tau$ observa...

CocoRNA: Collective RNA Design with Cooperative Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning

Designing RNA sequences that reliably fold into specific secondary structures is essential for understanding their biological functions but remains a challenging computational problem. We propose CocoRNA, a cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning framework for RNA inverse design. CocoRNA simplifies the design ta...

Learning Personalized Memory Gating from Delayed One-Sided Feedback

Long-term memory enables language-model agents to personalize future interactions, but a finite memory bank cannot preserve every extracted fact. Existing memory gating policies are typically shared across users and therefore fail to account for user-specific patterns of future reuse. In this paper, we study memory gat...

Explainable Machine Learning Analysis of Temperature Effects on Mechanical Strength of Fiber-Reinforced High-Performance Concrete

This study evaluates eight machine-learning models and demonstrates that ensemble approaches routinely surpass individual learners, and offers a precise and comprehensible methodology for evaluating temperature-dependent compressive strength and facilitate the practical, data-driven design of fiber-reinforced high-perf...

Logic-Guided Graph Denoising Diffusion Models

Graph diffusion models are competitive approaches for generating complex graph-structured data. However, when such distributions have strict structural constraints, diffusion models may fail to capture them exactly, resulting in the generation of invalid graphs. In this paper, we propose a method for grounding graph di...

Universal Semantic Enhancement for Weakly Supervised Anomaly Detection

Weakly supervised anomaly detection on tabular data is an essential task in many label-scarce applications, since tabular data is widely encountered and it is commonly observed in practice that only a limited number of labeled anomalies are available alongside abundant unlabeled samples. Most existing methods try to le...

LagNet: Lag-Structured Operators for Long-Term Time Series Forecasting

Long-term time series forecasting maps a finite history window to an extended future horizon. Many existing models focus primarily on the design of input representations and model structures, while paying less attention to the structural form of the history-to-future forecasting operator itself. We examine this operato...

Escaping Parameter Space: Tight Generalization Bounds via Representation Quality

We derive a tight generalization bound for deterministic neural We derive a tight generalization bound for deterministic neural networks based on their last hidden layer representations. By evaluating representation quality with a parameter-free $k$-nearest-neighbor ($k$-NN) classifier, our certificate avoids tradition...

Neural Expansion: A Unified Mechanism for How Deep Neural Networks Generalize

Deep neural networks demonstrate remarkable generalization despite being highly over-parameterized, challenging traditional statistical learning theories. While several theoretical paradigms such as margin-based bounds, PAC-Bayesian analyses, and neural tangent kernels provide global explanations, they often lack mecha...
