A rigor-matched audit of periodic-step layer skipping for efficient llm inference: conflayers versus swift, with a supplemental analysis of trained routing alternatives

A rigor-matched, three-seed audit of two periodic-step, search-based methods that make this decision online at inference time and re-evaluate it every few generation steps: a confidence-gated early-exit baseline (ConfLayers) and genuine self-speculative decoding (SWIFT, Xia et al. 2024).

Toward Postural State Classification in Immersive VR with Multimodal Data and Explainability Analysis

Comparing machine learning and deep learning models for classifying postural states in VR under visual perturbations suggests that multimodal sensing, temporal deep learning, and explainable AI can support reliable classification of balance-related instability in VR.

Representation Learning with Quantum Signal Processing

This work establishes quantum signal processing (QSP) as a solvable quantum model of the representation-learning regime, and proves a sparse-data guarantee for the full nonlinear gradient flow without freezing or ensemble-averaging the kernel.

Quantitative Target Convergence and Uniform-in-Time Propagation of Chaos for Langevin-Regularized SVGD

We establish quantitative convergence to the target and uniform-in-time propagation of chaos for Langevin-regularized Stein variational gradient descent. The Stein interaction need not be small relative to the confining Langevin drift and does not generally yield a contractive particle coupling. At the mean-field level, the Stein and Langevin components dissipate the same relative entropy in the kernel-induced Stein and $2$-Wasserstein geometries, producing the squared kernel Stein discrepancy and relative Fisher information. Under a log-Sobolev inequality for the target, this yields exponential last-iterate convergence. We also derive a finite-particle entropy identity relative to the product target, giving exponential-in-time convergence of the empirical measure up to polynomial sampling errors. For propagation of chaos, we develop two complementary finite-time approaches. A synchronous coupling, combined with exponential moment estimates for the nonlinear mean-field diffusion, yields explicit single-exponential bounds in Wasserstein distance and kernel Stein discrepancy (KSD). Moving-product entropy gives joint-law relative entropy control relative to the evolving mean-field product law and, through entropy superadditivity and concentration, fixed-marginal relative entropy and total variation bounds and empirical KSD estimates. Under an additional $T_2$ inequality for the initial law, it also yields Wasserstein bounds. Combining these finite-time estimates with target convergence at a logarithmic cutoff time gives polynomial uniform-in-time propagation of chaos rates in expectation for empirical KSD and $W_2^2$, and for fixed-marginal total variation and $W_2^2$. All bounds control the last iterate in physical time. We also compare the two finite-time mechanisms and identify regimes in which each gives the sharper polynomial exponent.

Separable Nonnegative Matrix Factorization Using Powered Ratio-of-Norms Regularization

This work develops efficient algorithms based on the difference-of-convex function algorithm (DCA) and the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to enhance sparsity and identifiability of the learned factors in separable nonnegative matrix factorization.

Generation of High-Level Concepts in 3D Scene Graphs via Autoregressive Diffusion

This work proposes a unified autoregressive diffusion-based graph generative model that jointly learns structure and features, constructing complete 3DSGs bottom-up from observed vertical planes across arbitrary hierarchy depths, and proposes an adaptation of the Fused Gromov--Wasserstein distance for principled graph-level evaluation of generated 3DSGs against ground truth.

ORDDAR: Observation-Driven Reasoning for Distortion-Resilient Decision, Action, and Cognitive Recovery

ORDDAR (Observation-Driven Reasoning for Distortion-Resilient Decision, Action, and Cognitive Recovery) is presented, a reasoning framework that models reasoning as cognitive state transitions, detects localized distortions, retrieves related reasoning from prior experiences, and repairs only the affected states.
