Reinforcement fine-tuning has become an effective post-training paradigm for improving the reasoning ability of large language models, but it remains sample-inefficient when the training distribution is mismatched to the model's current capability. In group-relative objectives such as Group Relative Policy Optimization...
Balatro, a 2024 roguelike deckbuilder, presents three difficulties that have historically derailed reinforcement learning methods: a 3,000-action state-dependent action space, horizons of several hundred decisions with sparse rewards, and pervasive stochasticity in both card draws and shop generation. Published RL resu...
What computational role does overparameterisation play during learning? Information-plane analyses suggest that neural networks can traverse representations substantially more complex than those required by their final predictors. We explore when this transient complexity serves a computational purpose by comparing the...

While vast literature on high-dimensional data visualization is available, there are not many works regarding the visualization of feature scorers and their results. Feature scorers are algorithms that assign numerical importance to each feature of multi-dimensional datasets. These importance scores can be used in seve...

This paper establishes a connection between the full gradient and min-min dynamics between the GFlowNet and a decoupled sampler, showing that the sampler reduces observed violations by avoiding high-error regions.

Fast and accurate models for AC power flow (ACPF) are increasingly important as modern electrical grids require more frequent system analyses. Graph neural networks (GNNs) naturally exploit electrical grid topology, yet the effects of architectural design choices on predictive performance remain poorly understood given...

Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates autoregressive inference by leveraging the memory bound nature of decoding, verifying multiple draft tokens in a single forward pass. For mixture-of-experts (MoE) models, prior work predicts a concave speedup-batch size relationship, with gains peaking at intermediate batch sizes d...

Large language models (LLMs) have rapidly become a default source of help for students in science and engineering courses. In foundational engineering mechanics courses such as statics, students routinely use these tools to check answers, work through partial solutions, and ask for explanations. Effective tutoring in t...

Many log-analysis tasks involve choosing among known options, such as detecting anomalous sessions or identifying attack techniques, and benefit from calibrated probabilities. We present Lev-3B, an open 3B-parameter decision model built on Granite-4.1-3B-Base with a shared pointer readout, and study its training recipe...

Automated jailbreak discovery aims to find prompts that elicit prohibited behaviors from safety-trained language models, helping developers identify vulnerabilities before deployment. One class of approaches uses reinforcement learning to train an investigator model to generate prompts that elicit a specified behavior...

Clinical practice guidelines encode evidence-based recommendations as conditional decision flows, which makes them a natural source of process supervision for training reasoning models. Two properties of clinical reasoning make this supervision difficult to use. A decision flow consistent with a guideline does not by i...
We propose SatOps-Decision, a method for low-latency decisions in satellite communication operations. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first application of Jev-style general-purpose discriminative decision models to satellite operations, and the accompanying benchmark is the first dedicated to this approach. The...
