ABNAT: Attention-Based Noise-Aware Training for Robust Transformers on Analog Compute-in-Memory Systems

Transformer-based models have become the backbone of a wide range of tasks, but their intensive computation and data movement incur substantial energy overhead. Analog compute-in-memory (CIM) offers an energy-efficient alternative, yet its inherent hardware non-idealities perturb stored weights and can significantly de...

Effectiveness of Hidden-State Probes for Localizing Reasoning Failures

Verifying the final answer of a long reasoning trace may show that the trace is wrong but it does not distinguish three cases. The problem may lie beyond the model's capability, another attempt would succeed, or one step in an otherwise recoverable trace made the trace fail. Standard hidden-state probes are trained on...

Augment the Cache, Replace the Activation: A 2x2 Study of Internal-State Sharing

Multi-agent systems built from frozen language models communicate through text, which discards the internal state the sender already computed and makes the receiver pay to rebuild it. Work on internal channels avoids that cost, framing the problem as transfer: agent A sends information to agent B. Every agent pair that...

Not All Unlabeled Data Are Equal: Unlabeled Data Selection for Semi-Supervised QSAR Modeling with Large Chemical Repositories

Semi-supervised learning (SSL) is particularly attractive in domains where labels are expensive to obtain, while unlabeled examples are readily available. Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) modeling, which predicts molecular biological activity from chemical structure, is one such domain. Obtaining act...

Close Enough is Nowhere Near: Fidelity-Consumability Decoupling in KV Caches

Multi-agent LLM systems communicate in text, which is lossy and wasteful: the sender throws away the reading it already did. A growing literature instead transmits the KV cache, the natural carrier of that reading. We study the most appealing form of the idea: both models stay frozen and the sender's cache is substitut...

Interfaces and Modules: A Scalable Representation for Weight-Space Learning across Architectures

Weight-space learning across architectures requires representations that respect parameter symmetries and scale to large networks. Existing equivariant tensor encoders require architecture-specific symmetry specifications, while neuron graphs make global attention costly. We introduce a typed graph organized around sha...

P2TPO: Structure-Aligned Page-to-Token Credit Assignment for Full-Page Document Parsing

This work introduces Page-to-Token Policy Optimization (P2TPO), a structure-aligned credit-assignment framework that operates on full-page policy trajectories that outperforms all evaluated policy optimization baselines in seed-averaged scores on each of the six document parsing benchmarks.

Learn Only Where You Can't Compute: Structured Corrections to Gaussian Process Posteriors

Physics-informed Gaussian processes (GPs) provide a principled framework for scientific inference by expressing uncertainty over empirical measurements, boundary conditions, and governing equations. However, they struggle to scale to larger datasets and nonlinear information. Conversely, diffusion models excel at learn...

ChronoSheaf: Joint Spatio-Temporal Spectral Filtering on Cellular Sheaves

This work introduces a spectral sheaf Laplacian, defined jointly over space and time, such that a single operator regulates signal propagation across both the spatial graph and the temporal domain, and introduces ChronoSheaf, a spatio-temporal sheaf network with two key components.

The Lagrangian Structure of Cost-Penalized Active Feature Acquisition

Active Feature Acquisition (AFA) sequentially selects features to maximize predictive accuracy under an acquisition budget. A natural heuristic greedily maximizes Expected Information Gain minus a cost penalty, EIG(j|x_S)-lam*c_j (EIG-Cost), but its theoretical guarantees are unclear. We provide an a-posteriori certifi...

The Tilted Sampling Problem: Optimism, Posterior Sampling, and Logarithmic Regret

Many modern learning systems are used not to select a single best action, but to sample diverse high-quality outputs. Examples include entropy-regularized reinforcement learning, RLHF, and reward-guided generative modeling. Motivated by these settings, we study tilted sampling: an online learning problem in which the g...

Self-Calibrated Subspace Robust PCA for Parameter-Free Removal of Mixed Noise and Line Stripes in Hyperspectral Images

Hyperspectral images (HSIs) are often corrupted by Gaussian noise, impulses and stripes whose intensities vary across bands. The representative coefficient correlated total variation (RCCTV) model restores HSIs efficiently, but it lacks Gaussian and stripe terms, and its noise-aware extensions require the noise level a...
