Learning Scenario Reduction for Two-Stage Robust Optimization with Discrete Uncertainty

Two-Stage Robust Optimization (2RO) with discrete uncertainty is challenging, often rendering exact solutions prohibitive. Scenario reduction alleviates this issue by selecting a small, representative subset of scenarios to enable tractable computation. However, existing methods are largely problem-agnostic, operating...

AAC: Admissible-by-Architecture Differentiable Landmark Compression for ALT

We introduce the Architecturally Admissible Compressor (AAC), which adapts landmark-based A* heuristics to query demand under a fixed label-memory budget. AAC provides two continuous relaxations of ALT (A*, Landmarks, and Triangle inequality) selection. With exact landmark distances, every parameter value defines a low...

Depth-Recurrent Attention Mixture (Dreamer): Giving Latent Reasoning the Attention it Deserves

Depth-recurrence facilitates latent reasoning by sharing parameters across depths. However, prior work lacks combined FLOP-, parameter-, and memory-matched baselines, underutilizes depth-recurrence due to partially fixed layer stacks, and ignores the bottleneck of constant hidden-sizes that restricts many-step latent r...

ARMs: Adaptive Red-Teaming Agent against Multimodal Models with Plug-and-Play Attacks

As vision-language models (VLMs) gain prominence, their multimodal interfaces also introduce new safety vulnerabilities, making the safety evaluation challenging and critical. Existing red-teaming efforts are either restricted to a narrow set of adversarial patterns or depend heavily on manual engineering, lacking scal...

XStack: A Benchmark for ML Repo Migration

ML code should run where researchers choose, not where it was first written. Today, machine learning code mainly lives in two ecosystems, PyTorch on NVIDIA GPUs and JAX on Google TPUs. Migrating repositories between them means building and testing across frameworks and hardware. This migration is (1) a practical need,...

Same Behavior, Different Mechanism: What Finite Experiments Can Certify About Integrated Information

Interpretability, AI auditing and assessments of machine consciousness increasingly rest on mechanism-level quantities: functionals of a system's causal transition law that describe how it computes, not what it outputs. Experiments see that law only through finite, partial and noisy interventions. We ask when such a qu...

Towards interpreting any residual stream direction by scaling activation inversion

To interpret a direction in a language model's residual stream, we can look for text that strongly activates it. But when such text is found by scanning a corpus, it is limited to what that corpus contains. We develop Maximally-Activating Example Metamodels (MAEMs), language models which map residual stream directions...

Label-Wording Augmentation in a Typed-Decision Encoder: Gains on Unfamiliar Words, Not on Abbreviations or Codes

Typed-decision models score options that the caller supplies at request time, so their accuracy depends on label wording that the model's developer does not control. We compare two releases of a 307M-parameter multilingual cross-encoder, Ru-Jev, trained on thirteen Russian-language tasks; the later release adds an augm...

Understanding AI from the Inside: The State of Mechanistic Interpretability for AI Safety

Neural networks are likely to be among the most consequential artefacts in human history. As these systems become more capable and autonomous, their potential to cause societal harm also grows, making AI safety one of the defining challenges of our time. Yet we continue to build increasingly powerful systems without fu...

Hybrid Machine Learning for Imbalanced Landing-Phase Safety Event Prediction from Flight Data

Landing-phase safety-event prediction requires the detection of rare abnormal approaches within strongly imbalanced multivariate flight data. Capturing coupled temporal behavior while distinguishing event-specific signatures across airport operating contexts remains a central modeling challenge. This study proposes an...

Measured Coupling for Parallel Decoding in Diffusion Language Models

Diffusion language models can write many tokens per step, but must choose which tokens are safe to commit together. Mean-field decoding penalizes pairs of positions whose predictions look alike. We replace this proxy with the coupling itself: how much committing one token changes the model's confidence at another. Chea...

AutoCompress: Automated Hardware-Guided Model Compression

LLM pruning must preserve quality while meeting hardware- and workload-specific constraints on latency, throughput, and memory. Existing pruning workflows often target parameter counts, requiring practitioners to manually select model sizes that meet latency, throughput, and GPU memory limits. However, parameter count...
