Tell Me What To Learn: Generalizing Neural Memory to be Controllable in Natural Language

Modern machine learning models are deployed in diverse, non-stationary environments where they must continually adapt to new tasks and evolving knowledge. Continual fine-tuning and in-context learning are costly and brittle, whereas neural memory methods promise lightweight updates with minimal forgetting. However, exi...

Oracle-Robust Online Alignment for Large Language Models

We study online alignment of large language models under misspecified preference feedback, where the observed preference oracle deviates from an ideal but unknown ground-truth oracle. The online LLM alignment problem is a bi-level reinforcement problem due to the coupling between data collection and policy updates. Rec...

Hyperbolic Graph Neural Networks Under the Microscope: The Role of Geometry-Task Alignment

Many complex networks exhibit hierarchical, tree-like structures, making hyperbolic space a natural candidate wherein to learn representations of them. Based on this observation, Hyperbolic Graph Neural Networks (HGNNs) have been widely adopted as a principled choice for representation learning on tree-like graphs. In...

Differentiable Knapsack and Top-k Operators via Dynamic Programming

Knapsack and Top-k operators are useful for selecting discrete subsets of variables. However, their integration into neural networks is challenging as they are piecewise constant, yielding gradients that are zero almost everywhere. In this paper, we propose a unified framework casting these operators as dynamic program...

LAMP: Look-Ahead Mixed-Precision Inference of Large Language Models

Mixed-precision computations are a hallmark of the current stage of AI, driving the progress in large language models towards efficient, locally deployable solutions. This article addresses the floating-point computation of compositionally-rich functions, concentrating on transformer inference. Based on the rounding er...

Corrective Diffusion Language Models

While Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) are theoretically well-suited for iterative refinement due to their non-causal structure, off-the-shelf masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) often fail to reliably revise incorrect tokens in practice. The key challenge is that the model cannot tell correct from erroneous visib...

Greedy Alignment Principle for Optimizer Hyperparameter Selection

Recent works have shown that gradient-update alignment is a powerful signal for modulating optimizer updates, often leading to faster training. We promote this update-wise heuristic as a mathematically grounded principle for selecting and tuning optimizer hyperparameters. By treating gradients and updates as signals an...

Multi-objective Hyperparameter Optimization with Expert Priors

While Deep Learning (DL) experts often have prior knowledge about which hyperparameter settings yield strong performance, only few Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO) algorithms can leverage such prior knowledge and none incorporate priors over multiple objectives. As DL practitioners often need to optimize not just one...

Deep Neural Operator Learning for Probabilistic Models

We propose a deep neural-operator framework for a general class of probabilistic models. Under global Lipschitz conditions on the operator over the entire Euclidean space-and for a broad class of probabilistic models-we establish a universal approximation theorem with explicit network-size bounds for the proposed archi...

Machine Learning Algorithms for Improving Black Box Optimization Solvers

Black-box optimization (BBO) addresses problems where objectives are accessible only through costly queries without gradients or explicit structure. Classical derivative-free methods---line search, direct search, and model-based solvers such as Bayesian optimization---form the backbone of BBO, yet often struggle in hig...

PPO in the Fisher-Rao geometry

Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) is widely used in reinforcement learning due to its strong empirical performance, yet it lacks formal guarantees for policy improvement and convergence. PPO's clipped surrogate objective is motivated by a lower bound on linearization of the value function in flat geometry setting. We...
