Common-Trace Factorized Constrained Proximal Policy Optimization (CT-PPO), a constrained Markov decision process that retains a return advantage at low, nominal, and high arrival loads, with the strongest gain under clustered arrivals.
A cooperative multi-agent orchestration framework, in which each edge node is equipped with a scheduling agent to route tasks to local ASPs or neighboring edge nodes, and an attention-guided centralized critic to estimate per-agent values from cross-agent states under GPU memory heterogeneity is proposed.

This paper provides a practical, auditable, and application-agnostic framework for validating LLM-augmented recipe data, thereby strengthening the foundations of machine-readable food knowledge infrastructures in the era of LLM-generated content.
A novel metric derived from the flow matching trajectory curvature is introduced to quantify action generation confidence during inference and enables the dynamic reduction of inference steps and the adaptive adjustment of MLP pruning ratios through an efficiently computed importance evaluation, requiring no access to training data.
Protein structure modeling rests on a single computational primitive: the interaction between what a residue is (sequence content) and where it sits (three-dimensional geometry). What is the expressive limit of this layer class? We show that the complete bilinear operator over content-geometry outer products--the sufficient statistic of all second-order interactions--is the expressive ceiling, while the additive message passing of mainstream geometric GNNs is provably blind to content-geometry binding. We then introduce Hyper-Fold, a rank-K separable convolutional backbone approaching this ceiling at message-passing cost: each radius neighborhood is organized into a sequence hyperedge and a contact hyperedge, modulated by an edge-conditioned matrix-valued operator factorized into K learned basis operators with geometry-generated coefficients. Across enzyme function prediction, fold classification, and ligand binding site detection, Hyper-Fold and its hierarchical variant Hyper-Fold-Deep achieve the best results among protein-specific structure encoders; Hyper-Fold-Pocket, an anchored set-prediction head, surpasses UniSite-3D on UniSite-DS and two zero-shot benchmarks with no sequence language model features, 68x fewer parameters, and 4.8x lower latency--suggesting that a sufficiently expressive 3D backbone recovers information that fusion architectures previously borrowed from evolution-scale pretraining.

The results indicate that subtraction-based input and ensembling support robust tumor segmentation under cross-site domain shift, whereas pCR prediction from baseline DCE-MRI alone remains limited.
We study the empirical Sinkhorn estimator of the entropic optimal transport potentials under the uniform loss. Since the potentials are only unique up to additive constants, we measure the error using the quotient supremum norm, defined as $d_\infty([u],[v]) = \inf_{a\in\mathbb{R}}\|u-v-a\|_\infty$. For a fixed regularization parameter $\varepsilon>0$, we establish a non-asymptotic statistical rate of $n^{-1/2}$. This is achieved by combining the Birkhoff-Hopf contraction theorem with entropy bounds on normalized kernel sections. However, the constant in this bound grows exponentially with $1/\epsilon$. To improve this, we isolate geometric conditions under which the empirical estimator maintains the $n^{-1/2}$ rate but features polynomial dependence on $1/\varepsilon$. The key requirement is a polynomial residual-stability estimate for the population Sinkhorn map. We provide sufficient criteria for this, including a polynomial contraction property and a local inverse estimate. Furthermore, we introduce two rigorously verifiable model classes an $\varepsilon$-weak residual-interaction class obtained after separable centering and another based on connected tight-edge graphs for fixed discrete costs where the polynomial rate is guaranteed without relying on abstract resolvent assumptions. Finally, we establish matching minimax lower bounds demonstrating that the $\varepsilon n^{-1/2}$ rate cannot be uniformly improved in the bounded-interaction regime.

The EM generalization metric is extended from a scalar distance to a dataset-specific generalization direction, which robustly predicts EM models'evilness under semantics-preserving prompt perturbations including appending random tokens and paraphrasing, where other methods do not reliably generalize.

This paper develops a unified theoretical framework showing that a broad family of clustering methods, including k-means, fuzzy c-means, kernel k-means, kernel FCM, and spectral clustering, can all be expressed as structured low-rank projectors acting on a signal-derived matrix. By formulating each method as an instance of min over B in C of ||M - M P_B||_F^2, with different constraint sets C, we establish a common optimization template that clarifies the algebraic links among hard, fuzzy, kernel-induced, and orthonormal projections. Within this framework, we derive non-trivial theoretical results, including geodesic convexity properties on the projection manifold, perturbation bounds quantifying stability to matrix noise, and exact recovery guarantees under ideal block-model conditions. The analysis further explains when different clustering families collapse to the same optimal subspace and how deviations arise under small inter-cluster leakage. Overall, the work provides a coherent, theory-first foundation for understanding clustering through structured projectors.
It is shown that this lower bound is tight and that a clustering in the $2$-Droop core always exists, and that such a clustering can be achieved by only selecting centers from locations in the metric space where an agent resides.
