UpLoop: Training Looped Transformers via Upcycling at No Extra Pretraining Compute

Looped language models can strengthen reasoning through repeated computation with shared weights, increasing execution depth without adding independent parameters. However, each additional pass increases training floating-point operations (FLOPs), making these gains more expensive to obtain. To address this cost, we pr...

Hierarchical Residuals: A Minimalist Decoupling of Residual Width from Compute Width

Residual connections underpin Transformers, but they implicitly tie the residual width carried through depth to the compute width used inside each layer. We introduce Hierarchical Residuals (HiRes), a minimalist architectural change that decouples these dimensions, widening the residual state while keeping per-layer co...

From fleet trajectories to single-cell promises: hierarchically weighted conformal prediction for battery SOH monitoring

Interval predictions from conformal prediction are usually read as "90% coverage", but on nested battery data that number promises the fleet average, not the individual cell. We measure the gap on 124 public LFP cells under a preregistered three-tier reporting protocol (fleet, batch, cell): pooled coverage looks health...

Does Reasoning Make Language Models Agree?

Language models face two opposing concerns: monoculture, in which models err in correlated ways, and multiplicity, in which equally accurate models make conflicting decisions. The rise of reasoning models has complicated this debate: On the one hand, reasoning may increase model agreement if models anchor on the same s...

On the Generation Order in GFlowNets

Sampling from discrete distributions specified by unnormalised probability functions is a classical statistical problem. GFlowNets address this problem by constructing objects sequentially, adding one discrete component at a time in either a predefined or a learned order. The choice of order determines which conditiona...

A Constructive Orbit-Based Theory of Learnability

We develop a finite-dimensional orbit framework for constructing data-adapted dictionaries, sparse realizations, and predictive extensions. The method uses wrapped weighted shifts to generate orbit dictionaries and local interpolation maps from independent orbit representatives, turning the learning problem into three...

FOCUS: First-Order Control Using Optimal Transport Supervision for Imitation from Observations

FOCUS is introduced, which combines local optimal-transport alignment with short-horizon differentiable actor-critic learning and improves sample efficiency and training stability over adversarial imitation-from-observation methods and prior differentiable imitation baselines.

Enhancing Sentiment Classification on Small Datasets through Data Augmentation and Transfer Learning

Small-scale sentiment classification often suffers from data scarcity, which limits the generalization ability of the models. This study evaluates and compares the effectiveness of three data augmentation strategies: Easy Data Augmentation (EDA), back-translation, and contextual token substitution (nlpaug-style), with...

Infinite ResNets are Gaussian Mean ODEs

This paper obtains a simple description of the large-scale limit training dynamics for ResNets in standard shape scalings and in the $1/\text{depth}$ branch scaling that allows maximal (local) feature updates, and discusses Mixture of Expert models, where likewise the limit admits an intuitive Mean ODE description.

PCD: Predictive Coding Dynamics for Irregularly Sampled Time Series

Dynamic systems evolve continuously over time, whereas observations in real scenarios are often sparse, irregular, and asynchronous. Accurate prediction therefore requires inferring latent state evolution between observations, as future values depend on partially observed trajectories. We propose Predictive Coding Dyna...

Spectral Haar Binarizer: Compact Boolean Contrast Representations for Hyperspectral Classification

Tsetlin Machines offer an interpretable, hardware-friendly alternative to conventional machine learning models, but applying them to continuous hyperspectral measurements requires converting spectral signals into Boolean representations. Standard binarisation methods typically discretise each spectral band independentl...
