Online learning of neural state-space models

Recent advances in deep-learning-based nonlinear system identification have led to encoder-based estimation of neural state-space (ANN-SS) models that achieve state-of-the-art performance in offline settings by estimating initial model states from past input-output data. These methods are typically used in multiple-sho...

Flexible Inverse Design of Optical Multilayer Coatings Using Discrete-Continuous Flow Matching

Optical multilayer coatings are used in imaging optics, lasers, telecommunications, solar cells, and radiative cooling, where the spectral response required by each application is achieved by a well-designed layer structure. However, existing design methods have limitations. Local methods refine a starting design effic...

Two-dimensional Hyperbolic RNN Neural Quantum State

This study serves as a proof-of-concept for the utility, effectiveness, and superior performance of 1D and 2D hyperbolic NQS ansatzes compared to conventional Euclidean NQS models in many-body quantum systems - particularly those exhibiting structural hierarchy, criticality, or a combination of both.

LoComposition: Terrain-Adaptive Energy-Efficient Quadruped Locomotion without Gait Priors

Learning-based quadrupedal locomotion typically relies on complex reward formulations that entangle task specification, operational limits, gait preference, and terrain adaptation within a single optimization objective. We instead treat these functions through distinct mechanisms: rewards for task specification, constr...

Learning a Sampling-Free Variational DNN Plugin from Tiny Training Sets to Refine OOD Segmentation With Uncertainty Estimation

Deep neural networks (DNNs) frequently fail to generalize to out-of-distribution (OOD) medical images because of variations in scanners and acquisition protocols. Retraining DNN models to address these distribution shifts is often impractical due to the high cost of acquiring and annotating new medical datasets. To add...

What Drives Test-Time Adaptation for CLIP? A Controlled Empirical Study from an Update Perspective

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) such as CLIP have become a standard backbone for open-vocabulary recognition, yet their zero-shot predictions remain vulnerable to distribution shifts encountered at deployment. Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) has recently been extended to CLIP as a lightweight solution, leading to a rapidly gr...

RAM: Reachability Across Morphologies

Many stages of the robotic lifecycle, from morphology synthesis to operation, rely fundamentally on the reachable workspace. However, current methods for approximating workspaces are slow, imprecise, or tied to a single morphology. We introduce Reachability Across Morphologies (RAM): a morphology-conditioned, implicit...

RogueMerge: Robust and Unified Attacks against LLM Model Merging

RogueMerge is presented, the first unified attack framework addressing all three challenges of model merging: autoregressive generation, static arithmetic with a joint optimization that explicitly enforces attack success after merging, and attack injection as a stochastic min-max optimization problem and solve it via m...

SeeTraceAct: Visibility-Aware Latent Planning from Cross-Embodiment Demonstration Videos

Vision-language-action models (VLAs) are promising general-purpose robot policies, but adapting them to new tasks typically requires costly task-specific teleoperation data. As an alternative, we study one-shot demo-conditioned VLAs, where a robot policy is conditioned on a single demonstration video of an unseen task....

TraceCodec: A Compiler-Backed Neural Codec for Network Traffic Traces

Critical networking workflows require high-fidelity packet captures (PCAPs) for testing, security analysis, and protocol validation, not just statistical flow-level summaries. Recent packet generators have demonstrated protocol-constrained PCAP synthesis, but many operate on raw or near-raw packet representations. Thes...

Tight Complexity of Muon under Heavy-Tailed Noise

A growing lesson from neural network optimization is that optimizer design should respect how the model is parametrized. The layerwise input-output structure of neural networks motivates Muon and Scion, whose updates also support hyperparameter transfer. At the same time, stochastic gradient noise in deep learning is o...

Federated Language Models Under Bandwidth Budgets: Distillation Rates and Conformal Coverage

Hospitals, companies, and research consortia want language models that learn from, and answer questions over, data that must stay where it is held, over links with limited bandwidth, such as the satellite links of remote clinics and ships. Averaging the sites' model parameters makes each message grow with the model and...
