Reinforcement learning with self-generated labels, such as majority vote over a model's own samples, often recovers most of the gain of training with verifiable rewards. This is puzzling from the usual prompt-level view, in which majority vote only returns a model's modal answer and cannot add information about correct...
Realistic traffic simulation and autonomous planning both depend on modeling interactions among heterogeneous road users whose dynamics, constraints, and behaviors differ fundamentally. Existing approaches predominantly learn realistic interaction behavior from large-scale human driving demonstrations. In this work, we...
Despite their extensive pretraining knowledge and strong reasoning capabilities, large language models (LLMs) struggle to adaptively gather information in experimental design tasks. We study how to amortize sequential Bayesian experimental design (BED) into an LLM by explicitly training the reasoning that guides action...
Reasoning distillation requires chain-of-thought (CoT) data with correct answers, but obtaining such data efficiently remains challenging. Forward CoT generation (FCG) followed by rejection sampling (RS) produces verified, question-only responses, yet may require many teacher calls for difficult problems. Reverse CoT g...

Automating organizational work means answering many small typed questions about one piece of state (does this email need a reply, how urgent is it, who owns it) with probabilities good enough to act on without a human. The open typed-decision model we compare against, like a standard cross-encoder, answers each questio...
Large language models (LLMs) trained on vast amounts of data have demonstrated impressive performance over a range of tasks, but future performance gains will require increasing amounts of data and compute. Federated Learning (FL) facilitates training on decentralized private data, but client resource limitations can m...
The method, adVersarial Parameter Decomposition (VPD), optimizes for decompositions of neural network parameters into simple subcomponents that preserve the network's input-output behavior even when many subcomponents are ablated, including under ablations that are adversarially selected to destroy behavior.
Permutation generation with language models requires both text-conditioned ranking and a global one-to-one assignment between candidates and output positions. We study this problem through three diffusion-LLM parameterizations: hard-assignment prediction over shuffled candidate-index sequences, soft-assignment predicti...
In recent advancements within speech processing, converting read speech to conversational speech has gained significant attention. The primary challenge in this domain is maintaining naturalness and intelligibility while minimizing computational overhead for real-time applications. Traditional read speech often lacks t...
Large language models (LLMs) are expanding from assisting scientific research and engineering to autonomously developing and improving AI systems, advancing AI for AI (AI4AI) as a pathway toward recursive self-improvement (RSI). Workflow-driven machine learning engineering (MLE) systems provide a practical path toward...
AI agents take actions through tools. Some actions are sensitive, so guards that supervise them must themselves be evaluated reliably. Yet the data used to evaluate a guard can include cues that make labels predictable without measuring the intended safety construct, and those cues can also influence guard decisions. W...
Learning from experience requires recovering reusable knowledge and determining when it applies to a new situation. We introduce OntoAct, a hypothesis-based neuro-symbolic framework built on ontological abstraction. OntoAct turns individual experiences into axioms over entity types, relations, and conditions, making th...
A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
