Beyond Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Accelerators: Directed Evidence for Adaptive Sustainability Portfolios

Governments and development partners often seek Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) "accelerators" whose progress can propagate gains across human well-being, institutions, resources, and environmental priorities. Such claims require evidence on direction, timing, robustness, and trade-offs, not only network connectivit...

Imaging-anchored Multiomics in Cardiovascular Disease: Integrating Cardiac Imaging, Bulk, Single-cell, and Spatial Transcriptomics

Cardiovascular disease arises from interactions between inherited risk, molecular programmes, and tissue-scale remodelling that are observed clinically through imaging. Health systems now routinely generate large volumes of cardiac MRI, CT and echocardiography together with bulk, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics...

Tracking large chemical reaction networks and rare events by neural networks

Chemical reaction networks are widely used to model stochastic dynamics in biophysical processes. Their exact probabilistic description via the chemical master equation becomes intractable for high-dimensional systems due to the exponential growth of the state space. This difficulty is further exacerbated when metastab...

When is a System Discoverable from Data? Discovery Requires Chaos

The deep learning revolution has enabled major AI advances in physical sciences, particularly in discovering dynamical systems from observational data. Yet the reliability of learned surrogates and symbolically discovered models is often undermined by non-uniqueness: models may fit observed trajectories perfectly, but...

Don't Run with Scissors: Pruning Breaks VLA Models but They Can Be Recovered

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are a promising paradigm for field robotics, but their deployment is bottlenecked by strict edge SWaP-C constraints. Compression techniques such as quantization, distillation, and pruning are well-established for LLMs and VLMs. Pruning, however, remains particularly underexplored for...

Anticipatory Evaluation of Language Models: Predicting LLM Benchmark Scores from Descriptions

Modern ML research increasingly faces an evaluation bottleneck: building benchmarks and running experiments is costly, slowing iteration. We ask how much can be inferred about evaluation outcomes before experiments, given only a natural-language description of the task and setup. We call this setting anticipatory evalu...

Linearly Convergent Algorithms for Nonsmooth Problems with Unknown Smooth Regions

A verifiable and accurate termination criterion for PWS optimization is introduced and like the gradient norm in smooth optimization, this certificate tightly characterizes the optimality gap under the QG condition and can be evaluated without knowledge of any problem parameters.

State Space Models Naturally Produce Time Cell and Oscillatory Behaviors and Scale to Abstract Cognitive Functions

A grand challenge in modern neuroscience is bridging the gap between the microscale neural circuits and cognitive functions. While extensive knowledge exists about neuronal connectivity and biophysics, how low-level phenomena give rise to abstract behaviors remains largely unresolved. Here, we propose that a mathematic...

Score-Based Training for Energy-Based TTS Models

Noise contrastive estimation (NCE) is a popular method for training energy-based models (EBM) with intractable normalisation terms. The key idea of NCE is to learn by comparing unnormalised log-likelihoods of the reference and noisy samples, thus avoiding explicitly computing normalisation terms. However, NCE criticall...

Incentivize Contribution and Learn Parameters Too: Federated Learning with Strategic Data Owners

In federated learning (FL), a center trains a shared model from updates that clients compute on their private data. Collecting and training on data is costly, so a strategic client may contribute little data and free-ride on the model trained by the others. We study mechanisms that incentivize data contribution and lea...

Noise-Aware Differentially Private Variational Inference

Differential privacy (DP) provides robust privacy guarantees for statistical inference, but this can lead to unreliable results and biases in downstream applications. While several noise-aware approaches have been proposed which integrate DP perturbation into the inference, they are limited to specific types of simple...

Beyond Size: How Gradients Shape Pruning Decisions in Large Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) with billions of parameters are prime targets for network pruning, which removes some model weights without hurting performance. Prior approaches such as magnitude pruning, SparseGPT, and Wanda either concentrated solely on weights or integrated weights with activations for sparsity. Howeve...
