CSI-JEPA: Towards Foundation Representations for Ubiquitous Wi-Fi Sensing with Minimal Supervision

Channel state information (CSI) provides a widely available sensing modality for human and environment perception, but existing CSI sensing models usually rely on task-specific supervised training and require substantial labeled data for each task, device, user, or environment. This limits their scalability in practica...

Minimal Filling Architectures for Polynomial Neural Networks

Minimal filling architectures describe the smallest hidden-layer widths for which the neurovariety of a polynomial neural network fills its ambient function space. It was conjectured that every such architecture has unimodal hidden widths. We construct counterexamples to this conjecture using a frontier search and cert...

Invariant Features in Language Models: Geometric Characterization and Model Attribution

Language models exhibit strong robustness to paraphrasing, suggesting that semantic information may be encoded through stable internal representations, yet the structure and origin of such invariance remain unclear. We propose a local geometric framework in which semantically equivalent inputs produce representations t...

Prescriptive Scaling Laws for Data Constrained Training

Training compute is increasingly outpacing the availability of high-quality data. This shifts the central challenge from optimal compute allocation to extracting maximum value from limited data. The widely adopted Chinchilla scaling law assumes every training token is unique. This limits its ability to guide pretrainin...

Hyper Input Convex Neural Networks for Shape Constrained Learning and Optimal Transport

We introduce Hyper Input Convex Neural Networks (HyCNNs), a novel neural network architecture designed for learning convex functions. HyCNNs combine the principles of Maxout networks with input convex neural networks (ICNNs) to create a neural network that is always convex in the input, theoretically capable of leverag...

Nexus: Same Pretraining Loss, Better Downstream Generalization via Common Minima

The foundational capabilities of large language models are acquired during pretraining on internet-scale, highly heterogeneous data mixtures. In this work, we investigate an interesting geometric question regarding the converged state of pretraining: Does the model converge to a common minimizer across all data sources...

Survival In-Context: Amortized Bayesian Survival Analysis via Prior-Fitted Networks

Survival analysis is crucial for many medical applications, but remains challenging for modern machine learning due to limited data, censoring, and the heterogeneity of tabular covariates. While the prior-fitted paradigm, which relies on pretraining models on large collections of synthetic datasets, has recently facili...

Scaling Recurrence-aware Foundation Models for Clinical Records via Next-Visit Prediction

While large-scale pretraining has revolutionized language modeling, its potential remains underexplored in healthcare with structured electronic health records (EHRs). We present RAVEN, a novel generative pretraining strategy for sequential EHR data based on Recurrence-Aware next-Visit EveNt prediction. Leveraging a da...

Neuronal Self-Adaptation Enhances Capacity and Robustness of Representation in Spiking Neural Networks

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are promising for energy-efficient, real-time edge computing, yet their performance is often constrained by the limited adaptability of conventional leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons. Existing LIF models struggle with restricted information capacity and susceptibility to noise, leadi...

CLaRE-ty Amid Chaos: Quantifying Representational Entanglement to Predict Ripple Effects in LLM Editing

The static knowledge representations of large language models (LLMs) inevitably become outdated or incorrect over time. While model-editing techniques offer a promising solution by modifying a model's factual associations, they often produce unpredictable ripple effects, which are unintended behavioral changes that pro...

DUEL: Exact Likelihood Reshapes Masked Diffusion Scaling Laws and Beyond

Masked diffusion models (MDMs) are trained to predict tokens in every order but generate in one. As such, MDM likelihood is an intractable sum over all orders. The evidence lower bound (ELBO) is used as a proxy for likelihood, but it is a loose bound and assumes positions are unmasked uniformly at random. Frontier MDMs...

The Stability of Online Algorithms in Performative Prediction

The use of algorithmic predictions in decision-making leads to a feedback loop where the models we deploy actively influence the data distributions we see, and later use to retrain on. This dynamic was formalized by Perdomo et al. 2020 in their work on performative prediction. Our main result is an unconditional reduct...
