Sharp Restricted Isometry Thresholds for Global Minima of Rank-Restricted Matrix LASSO

We determine the sharp restricted isometry threshold for recovery at global minima of the rank-restricted matrix LASSO. For target rank $r_{\star}$, if the rank-$k$ RIP constant satisfies $\delta<\delta_{\mathrm{sharp}}(k/r_{\star})$, where $\delta_{\mathrm{sharp}}(t)=t/(4-t)$ for $0<t<4/3$ and $\delta_{\mathrm{sharp}}(t)=\sqrt{(t-1)/t}$ for $t\ge4/3$, then every global minimizer has Frobenius error $\lesssim\sqrt{r_{\star}}\lambda$ for all $\lambda\gtrsim\|\mathcal{A}^{*}(\xi)\|_{\mathrm{op}}$ and at every search rank $r\ge r_{\star}$. The constants depend only on the RIP constant and $t=k/r_{\star}$, and in particular are independent of the search rank. When the rank restriction is inactive, the result specializes to the ordinary convex matrix LASSO. We also obtain the analogous results for sparsity-restricted vector LASSO. Conversely, we show that the threshold $\delta<\delta_{\mathrm{sharp}}(k/r_{\star})$ cannot be improved, due to the existence of counterexamples whose global minimizers fail to recover the ground truth.

Jigsaw-CRL: Recovering Global Latent Causal Order from Fragmented Multi-Client Interventions

This work proposes Jigsaw-CRL, a framework for recovering global latent causal order from a fragmented multi-client setting, where multiple clients interact with the same global latent causal system but each client only accesses and intervenes on a subset of the latent variables.

Efficient GPU Retrieval for Semantic Search

A policy-aligned retrieval framework that improves offline relevance over a matched-capacity baseline, with gains broadly distributed across facet combinations, and serves this framework with a two-stage GPU architecture.

Brain-Language-Action (BLA) Models: Language-Conditioned EEG for Robotics Control

A proof-of-concept Brain-Language-Action (BLA) model for drone control using motor-imagery EEG from the BCI Competition IV 2a dataset is developed, providing an initial demonstration that language conditioning can expand the effective control range of EEG-based robotic interfaces without requiring a corresponding increase in the number of directly distinguishable neural states.

The information geometry of product-reference discrete diffusion: Interaction growth complexity and optimal scheduling

The aggregate IGC mass admits bounds in terms of total correlation and dual total correlation, thereby connecting the pathwise geometry to classical measures of multivariate dependence and connecting the pathwise geometry to classical measures of multivariate dependence.

Oculi: A Conversational Agentic Platform for Automated Credit Risk Analysis

Oculi is introduced, a conversational platform that transforms natural language questions into comprehensive credit risk analyses, complete with data queries, statistical testing, and interactive visualizations, and demonstrates effectiveness in discovering material risk segments previously intractable through manual exploration.

MERIT: Mitigating Exposure Bias in Generative XMC for User-Interest Propensity Modeling

Matching users to interest categories at scale is central to personalized shopping, but the task is challenging in large e-commerce platforms, where label spaces continually evolve and user-interest signals are sparse and long-tailed. Autoregressive language models are appealing because their world knowledge and semantic priors over descriptors generalize across extreme label spaces and accommodate multiple valid label assignments. Yet under teacher-forced fine-tuning, inference-time predictions become part of the conditioning context: early errors steer later outputs toward co-occurring labels, over-generating near-correlates and missing unrelated true interests. We present MERIT, a framework for user-interest propensity modeling that mitigates this exposure bias through a self-correction objective. A permutation-invariant multi-target loss over shuffled mixtures of gold and mined hard-negative labels exposes the generator to erroneous prefixes while preserving the efficiency of teacher-forced training. This training objective concentrates supervision at classification positions, yielding propensity-aligned hidden states powering a lightweight scorer for bidirectional retrieval (interests for users and users for interests). On a proprietary e-commerce dataset with 250k+ interest categories, MERIT improves global recall by at least 11.9% and average Hit@k by 6.1%. In production A/B tests, it achieves +0.26% gain in user conversion.

mmIR: Frequency-Space Inverse Rendering for 3D Millimeter-Wave Radar ADC Synthesis

High-resolution 3D radar data is scarce. Commodity mmWave sensors use small antenna arrays that limit angular resolution to several degrees, and existing datasets provide only 2D range-azimuth maps or sparse point clouds rather than raw analog-to-digital converter (ADC) signals. Hardware scaling is expensive, synthetic-aperture scanning is impractical at fleet scale, and learned synthesis methods are bottlenecked by the very data shortage they aim to address. We present mmIR, an open-source differentiable frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar inverse renderer that fits a physics-based forward model to real captures and re-renders from dense virtual apertures to synthesize high-resolution 3D radar data. Because radar resolution is too coarse to recover geometry directly, mmIR performs LiDAR-assisted inverse rendering: using LiDAR-derived meshes as a geometric scaffold, mmIR optimizes per-vertex International Telecommunication Union (ITU) physics materials, vertex normals, and antenna beam patterns through end-to-end automatic differentiation of a phase-coherent multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) forward model with multi-bounce propagation, polarization, and free-space diffraction. On seven outdoor and six indoor ColoRadar scenes, mmIR achieves 0.914 mean Pearson correlation on range-azimuth maps versus 0.307 for Sionna-RT. Scenes trained on a cascaded imaging radar transfer to a co-located single-chip radar without re-training (0.554 correlation), and dense virtual arrays (100x100 elements) produce single-frame 3D occupancy validated against LiDAR.

Adaptive AI Agents in Construction Workflows

Adaptive AI agents can help make BIM data more machine-readable by navigating IFC models, interpreting inconsistent information, and mapping it to defined standards. In this blog, Alok Rawat shares findings from a real-world pilot in construction workflows. The post Adaptive AI Agents in Construction Workflows appeared first on GPT-Lab.
