A Better Critic Matters for Distribution Matching Distillation

Joint scaling and STAC consistently improve few-step distillation across class-conditional ImageNet generation, text-to-image generation with SDXL and FLUX, and text-to-video generation with Wan2.1.2.

SATFRONT: Detecting Atmospheric Fronts with Satellite Data using Machine Learning

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...

Regret-Optimal Wasserstein-Robust Linear Regression

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...

Hard Constraint Projection in a Physics Informed Neural Network

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...

RAMA: Retrieval-Augmented Multi-Agent Routing with Episodic Memory for LEO Satellite Networks

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...

Exact Theory and Optimal Stepsizes for Stochastic Gradient Descent in Smooth Convex Minimization

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...

Empirical Evaluation of Quantum Kernel Methods for Classification: A Comparative Study with Classical Kernels

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...

A Neural Network Approach towards Real-Time Knot Point Density Estimates for the Nonlinear Quadrotor

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...

When Is a Game a Markov Decision Process? Correspondences Between Game Theory and Reinforcement Learning

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...

WASABI: Wasserstein Sampling via Bridge Interpolants

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...

Shock Loading Accesses Reaction Pathways beyond Accelerated Thermolysis

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...

Variance Reduction for Decentralized Stochastic Optimization with Multiple Local Updates

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...
