Next point-of-interest (POI) recommendation supports personalized place discovery on location-based Web platforms. Mobility routines can recur across users while being realized at different places and adapted to individual preferences. We present DualClusterNet, a causal sequential recommender that composes two populat...

Learned temporal models are moving beyond offline forecasting toward interactive environments for decision making, yet logged-trajectory accuracy need not predict closed-loop behavior under policies optimized in the learned model. This forecasting-control gap matters in tokamak magnetic control, where coupled plasma-ci...

Deep neural networks extract powerful latent representations from images, enabling fast and efficient downstream analysis. However, these latent spaces lack explicit geometric structure, leading to possibly poor interpolation fidelity and misleading extrapolation. Latent interpolation techniques assume symmetric transi...
Injecting non-text modalities into frozen language models often introduces early optimization instability, making it difficult to separate architectural gains from transient training dynamics. We introduce Inductively Gated Cross-Attention (IGCA), a zero-initialized cross-attention bridge that preserves pretrained mode...

Linear activation steering is a powerful approach for controlling and specializing large language models by adding linear representations of concepts to their activations at inference. While effective, existing methods often steer with a fixed strength, independent of how much steering any given input requires. In this...

Multimodal neural data can enable a more complete understanding of brain dynamics underlying behavior. Modalities such as spiking activity, local field potentials (LFPs), and behavior capture diverse spatiotemporal aspects of brain processes, yet prior neural-behavioral models that separate sources of variability rely...

Post-training updates change what large language models (LLMs) can answer, but may leave their answerability judgments misaligned. We study this knowledge-judgment desynchronization through functional feeling of knowing (FoK), which supports selective generation, retrieval triggering, and model routing without implying...

Radio Frequency (RF) jamming threatens fifth-generation (5G) networks. Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) telemetry enables jamming detection without dedicated spectrum monitoring equipment, but labeled attack data are rarely available across deployments, motivating unsupervised detectors. Comparing such detectors ac...

In mission-critical networks, a missed jamming event is costlier than a false alarm, so detectors should favor recall, operate causally, and work without labeled attack data. Retrospective Key Performance Indicator (KPI) detectors meet the label-free requirement but rely on future context and cannot run in streaming op...
Real-world problems span diverse domains, including program synthesis, symbolic reasoning, planning, and optimization, and often require fundamentally different solution paradigms. A central challenge for LLM-based reasoning is twofold: identifying an appropriate problem-solving approach and formulating it correctly. I...

In speculative decoding, parallel drafters such as DFlash make drafting cheap, so target verification dominates each round. A central choice is the verification length, the number of tokens that the target processes in each round. Verifying more draft tokens can accept more of them, but work after the first rejection i...
