Accurate and Auditable ECG Classification via Visibility Graph Neural Networks

Physicians read electrocardiograms (ECGs) from waveform shape and timing, yet accurate deep-learning classifiers rarely show which waveform regions drive their predictions. We introduce LYNX-ECG, a graph neural network that represents each heartbeat as a sparse visibility graph of timestamped turning points. On CODE-Te...

Implicit Assumptions About Tasks in Continual Learning

Continual learning is the study of how a model accumulates knowledge from data received over time, rather than all at once. In practice, this is typically achieved by dividing a dataset into tasks and presenting them sequentially. Explanations of the resulting measurements take into account factors such as the similari...

Latent-Lens: Visual Perception in Small Language Models Through Latent Communication

Bridging independent vision-language models (VLMs) and small language models (SLMs) in a modular multi-agent system typically forces them to exchange information as discrete text, which creates a lossy bottleneck for spatial and fine-grained details. This constraint is especially acute for SLMs, whose limited capacity...

When the Past Shapes Action: Understanding Embodied Memory

This survey examines embodied memory as a mechanism for preserving decision-relevant information beyond the current observation, and provides a framework for understanding memory as an essential component of reliable, adaptive, and lifelong-horizon embodied intelligence.

ORION: An Outcome-Driven LLM Advisor for RL-Based Multi-Domain 6G Slice Placement

Deploying 6G network slices across administrative domains requires an online decision for each arriving request: which domain hosts each virtual network function, how traffic crosses domain boundaries, and whether the slice is admitted. This joint decision problem is NP-hard under continuous arrivals. Experiments on a...

From Representation to Readout: Mechanistic Analysis of Membership Signals in Language Models

Membership inference aims to determine whether a particular example was included in a model's training data. Such membership signals are often broadly described as memorization, while the underlying mechanisms can involve both how information is represented internally and how it is accessed by the model to produce beha...

SparseGDN: Chunk Sparse in Linear Attention

Gated Delta Networks (GDNs) offer linear-time sequence modeling, yet long-context prefill remains costly due to dense intra-chunk computation, recurrent-state updates, and intermediate state storage. We introduce SparseGDN, a hardware-aware framework that combines structured intra-chunk approximation with input-depende...

Transferring Peptide-Target Interaction Patterns to Small Molecules by Joint Guidance for Diffusion and Flow Matching

Generating small molecules to target protein-protein interactions (PPIs) remains one of the most challenging yet high-reward frontiers in drug discovery. Unlike traditional small-molecule drugs that bind to deep, well-defined pockets, PPI interfaces often comprise broad, shallow binding surfaces. A natural strategy is...

In-Model Context Compression with Agentic Soft Tokens for Long-Horizon LLM Agents

This paper introduces Agentic Soft-Token Compression (ASTC), a training-free compression method using soft tokens within LLM agent for long-horizon tasks that matches or exceeds the uncompressed agent's accuracy with up to 50.68% fewer end-to-end Attention Pairs.

MUON-RT Reusing the Teacher's Trajectory for Momentum-Free Muon for LLM Self-Distillation

Self-distillation methods for large language models with an exponential moving average (EMA) teacher already retain a history of student updates. Muon nevertheless stores a separate momentum buffer, increasing persistent training memory. We propose Muon with Reused Teacher (Muon-RT), which reuses the teacher-student di...

Where, When, and How Many Bits? Scaling Laws for SGD with Stochastic Rounding

This work theoretically study how stochastic rounding (SR) affects prediction risk as model size, training time, and precision change, and derives how the smallest prediction error decreases with compute, and identifies model sizes and training times that achieve optimal-compute scaling.

bf16 Rounding Silently Discards Most RL Policy Updates: A Hidden Training-Inference Mismatch and an Unbiased One-Line Fix

Reinforcement learning (RL) post-training of language models keeps fp32 master weights in the optimizer and serves rollouts from a bf16 copy produced by round-to-nearest conversion. At the learning rates in common use, most per-step updates are smaller than half a bf16 spacing and the conversion discards them: on Qwen3...
