Edgewise Envelopes Between Balanced Forman and Ollivier-Ricci Curvature

Evaluating Ollivier-Ricci (OR) curvature on large-scale graphs is computationally prohibitive due to the necessity of solving an optimal transport problem for every edge. We bypass this bottleneck by deriving explicit, two-sided, piecewise-affine transfer moduli between the transport-based OR curvature and the combinat...

Your Transformer Is Secretly Elastic

Scaling up transformers has produced models with broad capabilities, deployed across heterogeneous hardware and fluctuating workloads. Yet, model families offer only a few fixed sizes (e.g., S, B, L), forcing users to commit to a model based on hardware and latency constraints. This rigidity is often suboptimal under v...

Continuum Attention

We introduce Continuum Attention (CA), a causal Transformer attention operator that replaces discrete key and value lookup with integration over a continuous, piecewise linear memory curve. Each query induces an exponential relevance density along the curve. Integrating the density and interpolated values yields exact...

Learnable Hodge-Laplacian Driven Mixture of Experts for Steady-PDE Surrogates on Coarse Unstructured Meshes

Current approaches for steady partial differential equations surrogate models on unstructured meshes apply a single mixing mechanism to the whole solution. This paper proposes an architecture that partitions the solution among vanilla transformer experts, each focused on a different spectral scale. The partition is bui...

One Task, Many Interfaces: Simple Cross-Interface Consistency Training Improves LLM Agent Robustness

Post-training binds the competence of an LLM agent to the interface it was trained on. Semantics-preserving perturbations of that interface, such as renaming an action or changing the notation, leave the underlying task unchanged yet make the agent worse at it. Scoring each sample independently means interface randomiz...

Recovering Reliable Supervision via Critique-Guided On-Policy Distillation

On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student model on its own rollouts with token-level supervision from a teacher, assuming that the teacher can reach a correct answer from any prefix the student writes. We call this property the recoverability of the teacher and show it fails on incorrect rollouts: the teacher follo...

Detection of Potato Plant Leaf Diseases using Convolutional Neural Networks

Potato is an important food-security crop in Ethiopia, but its production is affected by foliar diseases, particularly early blight and late blight. This study develops a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify potato leaves into three categories: healthy, early blight, and late blight. The proposed...

Revisiting Simple Baselines for Relational Deep Learning

Relational deep learning has emerged as a powerful paradigm for learning end-to-end predictive models over relational databases by representing them as temporal heterogeneous graphs. Recent advances based on graph neural networks and Transformers have achieved strong performance across diverse domains. However, the eff...

Generative Representation Learning for Scalable Latent Tokenization

We introduce an approach for self-supervised representation learning designed to be used as a tokenizer for generative modeling. Our objective supervises a representation loss by factorizing the pointwise mutual information of the data, which we estimate by taking information differences between conditional predictions...

The Physics Is the Network: Fast, Training-Free Neural Emulation

This work investigates PolyNets that couple a continuous-time neural representation of polynomial dynamics with a simple recurrent network for discrete-time integration and achieves accuracy comparable to the numerical solvers, including at amplitudes outside the learned models'training conditions.

Bayesian Learning to Select Fair Classifiers

This work studies the problem of selecting, in an online stream, the agent that best balances predictive performance and subgroup fairness of a sensitive attribute, and that allows for delayed observations of true class labels, as a Bayesian multi-armed bandit problem using Thompson Sampling.

A Two-Level Clinical Novelty Prioritization Framework for Disease Trajectories Discovered from Longitudinal Electronic Health Records

Graph-based analysis of electronic health records (EHRs) yields disease-trajectory catalogs, but structural support does not establish semantic novelty. We present a two-level framework to prioritize 99,527 branching motifs previously discovered by an upstream patient-disjoint, train-only MIMIC-IV v3.1 pipeline and fro...
