SATFRONT is introduced, a machine learning framework for detecting cold, warm, and occluded fronts over Europe from geostationary satellite observations, with reanalysis data as an optional additional input, providing a basis for automated frontal analyses at the high temporal frequency required for time-critical appli...

Distributionally robust optimization (DRO) minimizes worst-case risk under distributional uncertainty, but its decisions can be suboptimal in terms of their excess risk, or regret. We study this gap for multivariate least-squares regression, assuming that the observed source law and unknown target law differ by an adve...
Physics informed machine learning provides a framework to study and simulate fluid dynamics, potentially at a fraction of the computational cost of traditional numerical methods, with the goal of improving the explainability, accuracy and robustness of purely data driven machine learning methods. In this work, we exten...

Low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks present a challenging routing environment due to rapidly changing topology, traffic, and link conditions. Existing deep reinforcement learning (DRL) routing methods typically rely on current observations and information encoded in network weights, limiting their ability to explo...
This work considers the design of stepsize schedules for stochastic gradient descent in smooth convex optimization. Throughout, we assume that gradient noise is conditionally zero-mean with bounded variance. Among problems with dimension $d\geq N+1$, we provide an exact worst-case analysis of the expected suboptimality...
Quantum kernel methods are the most concrete near-term proposal for quantum machine learning on classical data, yet published benchmarks disagree on whether they outperform tuned classical kernels, and the disagreement cannot be resolved from the literature because the comparisons are not protocol-controlled. We argue...
This work proposes a learning-based method for adaptive knot placement in B-spline approximations of trajectories generated by ordinary differential equations, where a neural network learns a mapping from the initial condition of the system to quantities that characterize the local variation of the resulting trajectory...

Reinforcement learning and game theory describe the same object from two sides. Game theory says what a rational outcome of a strategic interaction is; reinforcement learning says how an agent could reach one through experience. The two literatures nevertheless keep separate vocabularies for identical structures, and t...
Sampling from Boltzmann distributions is a fundamental problem in physics, chemistry, and biology. We introduce WAsserstein SAmpling via Bridge Interpolants (WASABI), a method that trains a diffusion model to generate samples from a target Boltzmann distribution given access only to the energy function. WASABI minimize...

Thermolysis and shock loading can produce similar major stable products in energetic materials, despite different chemical evolution and reaction pathways. Here, we develop EMFF-MACE, a reactive machine-learning potential for C/H/N/O energetic materials, enabling thermolysis simulations of 20 materials and shock simula...

Multiple local updates are widely used in decentralized optimization to enhance communication efficiency, often in conjunction with stochastic gradients when exact gradient computation is costly. However, such algorithms generally converge only to a neighborhood of the optimum, whose size depends on the stepsize and th...
