Emergent aggregation from collective foraging

This work lets reinforcement learning foragers, initially performing a random walk, optimize their dynamics from a purely individual reward for finding replenishable targets, while perceiving only their conspecifics and never the targets themselves.

Anchored Scenario Coverage for Failure-Aware First-Hit Batch Inverse Design

Early discovery of at least one valid design satisfying a target requirement is a central objective in failure-prone closed-loop inverse design. A natural batch baseline ranks candidates by a product-form marginal valid-hit score, but selecting the highest-ranked candidates independently can produce redundant recommendations under predictive uncertainty and waste the experiment budget. We introduce ARC-SC(Anchored Risk-Constrained Scenario Coverage), a batch acquisition method that preserves strong marginal candidates as anchors and allocates the remaining batch positions by maximizing complementary coverage over predictive target scenarios under a risk-support constraint. In frozen-oracle closed-loop simulations on superconductivity and JARVIS materials-property benchmarks, ARC-SC yields a statistically supported improvement in first-hit discovery and remains competitive with directionally favorable first-hit performance on more challenging design space. These results establish ARC-SC as a POF-anchored, scenario-aware batch strategy for improving early valid-target discovery under structured experimental failure.

Personalized and Multi-View Representation for Federated Cold-Start Recommendation

PMFRec learns a personalized representation generator to produce user-specific item representations from attribute features, and introduces a global multi-view encoder with item-adaptive gating and an orthogonality objective to capture complementary semantic views while reducing cross-view redundancy.

Beyond Procrustes distances: a multilinear Gromov-Wasserstein distance capturing chirality

Efficiently and robustly analyzing shape data is critical across many scientific disciplines. While chirality is a fundamental property in numerous applications - most notably in molecular science - existing shape analysis metrics fail to distinguish between a shape and its mirror image. To address this gap, we introduce a multilinear generalization of the Gromov-Wasserstein objective. Under mild assumptions, this objective yields a distance between shapes, represented as probability distributions quotiented by a symmetry group $G$. In particular, for $G = SO(d)$, we introduce the Chiral Gromov-Wasserstein ($\mathrm{CGW}$) distance, sensitive to chirality. We establish robustness properties for the multilinear Gromov-Wasserstein distances and develop efficient algorithms to compute them, reformulating the underlying optimization problem by projecting couplings onto a low-dimensional space. We derive algorithms for both local and approximate global solutions, yielding a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme for these problems. We validate the framework through numerical experiments that demonstrate the effectiveness of $\mathrm{CGW}$ as a shape metric for chiral objects.

On the Computational and Statistical Efficiency of the Empirical Maximum Entropy on the Mean Method

It is shown that the MEM dual problem admits a reformulation as an expected risk minimization problem, thereby placing MEM within the modern framework of stochastic optimization and enabling scalable stochastic gradient algorithms for large-scale inverse problems.

Quantum SEDONet: Spectrally-Embedded Quantum Deep Operator Networks for Partial Differential Equations

This work proposes Quantum SEDONet (Spectral-Embedded Deep Operator Network), which assigns each trunk coordinate a spectral basis according to its boundary condition: Fourier features for periodic coordinates and Chebyshev features for bounded, non-periodic coordinates.

Physics-informed learning for the inverse problem in resonant ultrasound spectroscopy

Inferring elastic constants from resonant ultrasound spectra is a nonlinear and typically overdetermined inverse problem based on finite spectral data. We formulate the Rayleigh-Ritz inverse problem as a constrained inverse-isospectral problem on the set of physically admissible elasticity tensors. This induces effective low-dimensional variables for the inverse map on the admissible elasticity manifold: length and elastic scales, aspect-ratio coordinates, scale-free spectral features, and stability-respecting elastic ratios. We use these variables to construct a physics-informed learning pipeline in which a regression model acts only on reduced spectral and geometric features, while scale recovery and final elastic-constant reconstruction are imposed analytically. For the full cubic benchmark, the reconstructed constants have MAE values of $20.37(35.15)$, $24.30(41.33)$, and $2.13(3.66)~\mathrm{GPa}$ for $C_{11}$, $C_{12}$, and $C_{44}$. In the fixed-geometry benchmark, the corresponding cubic MAPE values are $4.14(3.87)\%$, $8.31(8.50)\%$, and $2.44(2.86)\%$, while the isotropic values are $4.0(3.6)\%$ and $0.4(0.3)\%$ for the bulk and shear moduli. The inverse problem then becomes a constrained regression problem in variables adapted to the geometry, scaling, crystal symmetry, and thermodynamic stability of Hookean elasticity.

Towards Large-Scale Heterogeneous Data Organization for Scientific Foundation Models: A Nuclear Fusion Case Study

Training effective foundation models requires massive and organized datasets, yet scientific domains such as nuclear fusion present unique challenges due to largely heterogeneous and sparse data. Here we characterize the data used in developing such a model: with over 20 sensor types spanning 5 orders of magnitude in sampling rate, mixed tensor structures (point measurements, spectrograms, images), and nonstationary physics. We analyze our input complexity and discuss trade-offs between temporal context and frequency resolution. Our analysis provides a template for representing multi-modal fluctuation data at scale, with implications for both multi-modal control systems and nuclear fusion.
