KOSMOS: Self-scheduling Persistent Kernels for Communication-Compute Overlap

Tensor and sequence parallelism (TP+SP) and expert parallelism (EP) put collectives on the critical path of transformer layers. State-of-the-art fused kernels mitigate this with fixed roles or schedules, but this rigidity leaves large idle windows. Predicting a communication-computation split does not remove them eithe...

Adversarial Robustness of Kernel Machines: A Comprehensive Analysis

Kernel machines are an important class of models in machine learning. However, the question of how robust modern kernel machines are to adversarial examples has not been studied comprehensively. In this paper, we provide a thorough empirical investigation of the adversarial robustness of kernel-based models for both bi...

Echoes of Error: Residual-Directional Local Rollout Consistency for Timeseries Forecasting

In time-series forecasting, rollout errors are not merely one-step fitting discrepancies: once fed back into the evolving state, they can perturb future predictions. We formalize this effect through local rollout consistency, which compares the next prediction produced under teacher forcing with that produced under fre...

The Last Mile to the Real World: Agent-Native Primitives as Reusable Building Blocks for Solving Real-World Tasks

How can an agent handle a real-world task end to end? Frontier models with their own harnesses still fall short on real-world benchmarks: on Terminal-Bench 4.0, GPT-5.6 Sol with Codex resolves 37.3% of the tasks and Claude Opus 5 with Claude Code 51.8%. These tasks fail at the step from reaching a resource to applying...

IMUDINO: Self-distilled Foundation Model for Inertial Sensing

We present IMUDINO, the first foundation model (FM) for inertial sensing to achieve competitive performance across diverse sensing tasks including human activity recognition (HAR), health, motion capture, and odometry. Prior inertial FMs often focus on one subfield of inertial sensing and sometimes underperform state-o...

Test-Time Self-Play: Scaling without a Verifier

Test-time scaling methods spend additional compute at deployment to improve a large language model's performance on a hard target problem. Most methods rely on a verifier that scores candidate solutions for correctness, using it to select among or refine the model's outputs. In many deployment regimes, however, a stron...

Permanent and Transient Representations for Continual Reinforcement Learning

Continual Reinforcement Learning (CRL) agents struggle to adapt to new situations while retaining prior knowledge, leading to a stability-plasticity trade-off. One approach to solving this problem is by using complementary learning systems: one for slow, long-term learning and another for quick, transient adaptation. A...

Satisficing as competitive Bayesian weighting: a minimal model of goal-directed choice under an unattained target

Animals and humans often do not maximize; they act relative to goals (aspiration levels) that are frequently not yet met. How can a goal that is not (yet) realized organize choice? Deacon (2012) calls such absence-referenced organization \emph{ententional}, and Garc\'{i}a-Valdecasas and Deacon (2024) argue that ends ar...

How Deep is the Signal? Time-Context up to 30 Years for Colorectal Cancer Prediction in a Primary-Care EHR Model

EHR foundation models read medical events within a fixed context window, and long context has so far been measured only in tokens. How far back in time a model must look to capture the earliest predictive signal is unknown. We introduce time-context, the calendar lookback window before the prediction point, and provide...

Evolutionary Adaptive Neighborhood Learning: A Genetic Algorithm for Instance-Dependent k Optimization in Nearest Neighbor Classification

The number of neighbours k is the central hyperparameter of the k-nearest neighbour (k-NN) classifier and is usually selected globally through cross-validation or evolutionary search. However, the bias-variance trade-off is inherently local: dense and noise-free regions may favour small neighbourhoods, whereas sparse o...

TriAttention: Unified Sparse Mixed-Precision Attention for Long-Context LLM Inference

Sparsity and quantization reduce the cost of attention by skipping interactions and lowering the precision of those retained. However, useful interactions differ in their precision requirements: some tolerate low-precision scores while remaining sensitive to removal. We therefore introduce TriAttention, which assigns q...

KG-Neighbor: Knowledge-Guided Neighborhood Construction for Embedding Visualization

In embedding visualizations, nearby instances are interpreted as semantically related, although neighborhoods derived from input embeddings may not reflect content relationships. Neighborhood-based dimensionality reduction (DR) methods can propagate this limitation by optimizing layouts from embedding-based neighborhoo...
