Deep Learning Compilers: Architecture, Optimization, and Empirical Characterization

As deep learning (DL) models become increasingly complex and hardware architectures grow more heterogeneous, DL compilers play a critical role in optimizing computational efficiency and enabling scalable deployment. This paper presents a systematic analysis of DL compilers, covering their architectural evolution, compi...

LENS: Reliability-Aware Stock Prediction via LLM-Extracted Priors and News-Driven Semantic Graphs

Predicting stock returns requires modeling persistent company relations and time-varying market signals. Graph Neural Network (GNN) approaches combine static priors with dynamic relational graphs, but treat every extracted edge as a trustworthy binary fact, ignoring heterogeneous reliability across relational sources....

An Information Budget for Label-Noise Memorization, and What Statistical Complexity Tracks: A Study with Multilayer Perceptrons

How much label noise has a network memorized, and when? We study a multilayer perceptron and what statistical complexity adds to a description of its predictions. Standard identities decompose predictive information into signal, memorization, and heterogeneity. The memorization term vanishes in the population under the...

Where Did the Update Go? Certifying Declared Change Envelopes for Model Updates

Deployed language models are updated continually, and regulators increasingly accept changes that were declared in advance. Showing that an update changed behavior only where it was declared to is a different statistical problem from bounding how much it changed: a useful update is meant to change some decisions, so gl...

What Does 4-Bit Microscaling Cost a Wearable Activity Recognizer?

Wearable sports sensors can recognize actions on the device itself, where lower-precision numbers reduce model storage and memory traffic. Two 4-bit block-scaled formats, MXFP4 from the Open Compute Project, introduced in 2023, and NVFP4 from NVIDIA, introduced in 2025, are drawing interest. Published evaluations cover...

Say the Same, Act Differently: Diagnosing and Steering Text-Action Divergence in Reasoning VLAs

Reasoning vision-language-action (VLA) models pair physical control with natural-language rationales that supervisors can read to monitor embodied safety. Prior attacks on VLA reasoning corrupt the rationale itself and leave visible evidence in the text. We show that visual perturbations can instead alter the physical...

On the Feature Evolution of Temporal Difference Learning

Temporal-difference (TD) learning trains neural representations using bootstrapped targets generated by evolving value estimates, yet how predictive features emerge and propagate under incomplete neural updates remains poorly understood. We investigate this problem using finite-width two-layer ReLU critics on a constru...

RGDM: Robust Graph Diffusion Model

Diffusion models represent a powerful class of generative models known for their solid theoretical foundations and remarkable performance across diverse tasks and domains. Existing node level diffusion methods synthesize nodes and edges within a graph, but are not designed to learn a robust generator from adversarially...

LoopKV: Loop-Aware KV Cache Compression for Serving Looped Transformers

Looped transformers apply a shared block several times per token to improve accuracy without adding parameters. For models such as Ouro that keep a separate key-value (KV) cache per loop, cache memory limits the batch size that amortizes repeated weight reads. Uniform-bit quantization and fixed rules per loop do not al...

Decomposing Rank Reversals under Temporal Nonstationarity: Alignment, Aggressiveness, and Instability

Under temporal nonstationarity, model performance rankings reverse across training horizons due to heterogeneous sensitivities to memory. While existing literature addresses adaptive lookbacks, effective model complexity, and empirical forecast evaluation in isolation, no unified framework explains the structural mecha...

Structure, Dimensionality, and Distribution Shape - What Makes Pretraining Data Transferable, and Why the Input Pipeline Decides Which

What makes a pretraining corpus transferable? We describe a corpus by three properties: its structure, its dimensionality, and the distribution shape of each unit's values. We propose the Transfer-Invariance Principle: the same property can be irrelevant to transfer under one input transform and decisive under another,...

ModelBlaster: Closing the Performance Gap through Learning-Augmented Agents Across Models, Kernels and Hardware Backends

Optimizing accelerator code across hardware architectures is difficult. ML compilers search predefined spaces of schedules and micro-kernels, while LLM-guided optimization can explore alternative algorithms, operator decompositions, and hardware-specific techniques. However, existing LLM agents typically target a singl...
