High-Probability Regret Bounds for Feel-Good Thompson Sampling

Feel-good Thompson sampling (FGTS) augments the posterior of vanilla Thompson sampling with an exploration term that favors reward functions with high predicted optimal values. This modification achieves minimax-optimal regret up to logarithmic factors in linear contextual bandits, but existing analyses of its two stan...

What You Sign Is Not What You Run: The Verifiability Gap in Quantized LLM Supply Chains

Model signing authenticates the full-precision weights W an LLM is released with, yet users run a quantized artifact Q whose producing transformation is not uniquely determined under current disclosure. We separate the non-environment inputs from the execution environment E and measure a quantity that, to our knowledge...

Digital Self-Interference Cancellation for In-Band Full-Duplex Systems Based on Transformer Neural Operators

Digital-domain self-interference cancellation is essential in in-band full-duplex radios after passive suppression and analog cancellation. It is particularly challenging when the desired signal is strong relative to the residual self-interference. In this regime, conventional iterative digital cancellers update their...

State-Matched Sequence Conformal Prediction

Sequential conformal prediction needs to decide which past errors should calibrate uncertainty for the current target. Recency and online error feedback are useful when recent observations remain relevant, but the recent past can be a poor reference when comparable states recur at nonadjacent times, with the recurrence...

Large-Step Last-Iterate Convergence of Random-Reshuffling Stochastic Gradient Descent

Random reshuffling stochastic gradient descent (RR-SGD) is widely used for finite-sum optimization in machine learning. For convex $L$-smooth components, recent work establishes convergence guarantees for an averaged iterate with component stepsizes as large as order $1/L$. However, the final iterate is a natural outpu...

Learning to Select Features with Manifold Deep Unfolding PCA

Unsupervised feature selection (UFS) is of great significance in image processing and pattern recognition. Nevertheless, existing model-based methods often rely on manually tuned hyperparameters, while deep learning-based methods generally require massive training data. To address these issues, this paper proposes an e...

Scaling LLM Inference via Parallelism: Throughput-Latency Trade-off

Large Language Model (LLM) serving systems must balance latency and throughput while efficiently utilizing distributed GPU resources. This challenge arises because inference consists of two fundamentally different phases: prefill, which determines time-to-first-token (TTFT), and decode, which determines inter-token lat...

ActMOF: Mapping Reticular Synthesis through Active Learning

Reticular chemistry allows metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to be designed from their building units, yet their synthesis remains constrained by sparse experimental data, noisy crystallization outcomes, and the absence of benchmarks for comparing active-learning strategies. While data-driven approaches such as Bayesian...

The Impact of Detector Architecture, Model Scale, and Scene Density on Multi-Pedestrian Tracking

Pedestrian tracking in video is important for applications such as surveillance and scene analysis, but it becomes more challenging in crowded scenarios with frequent occlusions and rapid motion. This paper analyzes how detector architecture, model scale, scene density, and inference regime affect the tracking of multi...

Tail Competition Explains Scaling in Best-of-N Sampling for Verifiable Problems

Best-of-N sampling is a simple inference-time scaling strategy for large language models, yet its behavior under incomplete reward models remains poorly understood. We study Best-of-N as a competition between the extreme reward tails of correct and incorrect responses. This view shows that success depends not only on t...

Target-Token Asymmetry Can Masquerade As Depth Specialization

Layer-ablation studies often perturb early or late layers of a language model, compare the damage to prediction on two corpora, and read a larger early-layer effect on one corpus as early-layer specialization for its task. Such a comparison averages over the tokens that each corpus asks the model to predict, and these...
