From Baselines to Transport Geodesics: Axiomatic Attribution via Optimal Generative Flows

Cenwei Zhang, Lin Zhu, Manxi Lin, Lei You

原文摘要

Feature attributions often hide a critical modeling choice: they explain a prediction along a counterfactual path from a reference state to an input. Different baselines, interpolations, and generative trajectories define different paths and can therefore produce different explanations. We study this path ambiguity as a modeling problem. Our central question is whether the path can be chosen by a distribution-level transport process, rather than by a hand-designed interpolation or by the sensitivity geometry of the model being explained. We separate attribution into fixed-path credit allocation and path selection. For a fixed path, we prove that the Aumann-Shapley line integral is the unique attribution rule under fixed-path axioms and coordinate-trace separability. For path selection, we minimize kinetic action over flows that transport a reference distribution to the data distribution, yielding a transport-geodesic attribution principle. We instantiate this framework using Rectified Flow and derive stability bounds quantifying how vector-field approximation errors affect the resulting attributions. Experiments show that Reflow improves cross-seed attribution stability, while learned transport paths yield spatially coherent explanations with competitive deletion faithfulness among the evaluated path-based methods. Our code is available at https://github.com/cenweizhang/OTFlowSHAP.

Signed-Permutation Coordinate Transport for RMSNorm Transformers

John Sweeney

原文摘要

Modern LLM workflows move coordinate-indexed objects across checkpoints: steering vectors, sparse autoencoders, top-$k$ neuron sets, attribution lists, LoRA updates, optimizer states, and merge alignments. This requires fixing the model's residual-stream gauge. We show that the native coordinate-preserving orthogonal gauge is architecture-dependent: LayerNorm residual charts have permutation gauge $S_d$ up to a global sign flip, while RMSNorm charts with generic gains have signed-permutation gauge $B_d = S_d \ltimes \{\pm 1\}^d$. Permutation-only alignment is thus symmetry-incomplete for RMSNorm models. We introduce sign-marginalized Hungarian matching and prove that with decorrelated coordinates, signed-correlation matching has a permutation-accuracy ceiling equal to the true gauge's positive-sign fraction up to $O(d 2^{-d})$, which sign-marginalized matching removes. Omitting signs induces expected squared error $2\|ΔW\|_F^2$ on weight updates and loses orientation on vectors and AdamW first moments, while RMSNorm gains and AdamW second moments permute without signs. Controlled tests confirm these laws: a Qwen2.5-1.5B SST-2 LoRA adapter retains 0.944 accuracy (from 0.945) under $B_d$ transport vs. 0.523 under $S_d$, and steering preserves effects to $<10^{-4}$ at zero raw top-10 overlap. Across natural checkpoints, inherited slots suffice for same-base descendants (96.2%-100% retention), whereas cross-generation pairs support sparse prompt-stable subsets with causally decisive negative signs ($+0.185$ vs. $-0.010$ at $8σ$ on Qwen2/2.5-0.5B; $+0.189$ vs. $-0.021$ on 1.5B). Along fine-tuning trajectories, composing local $B_d$ gauges recovers 91.1% of cross-run Qwen2.5-1.5B coordinates at 1,500 steps vs. 60.3% for endpoint matching. Merge and interpretability audits confirm that coordinate names are reproducible only relative to an explicit $B_d$ gauge.

RELAY: Selective Self-Distillation with Adaptive Hand-off for Rubric-Based Reinforcement Learning

Kunwang Zheng, Xinyu Sun, Yu Cao, Shuocheng Li, Lei Cheng, Ying Liu, Qilong Zhang, Jinlong Chen 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Rubric-based reinforcement learning grades a response against many written criteria but collapses them into one reward, which discards the detail the rubric carries and gives no GRPO reward gradient when a group's responses tie. A frozen teacher that reads the rubric as privileged context provides token-level supervision, but we observe an early plateau in the gains over GRPO. RELAY uses advantages and rewards to select positive-advantage and low-scoring zero-advantage rollouts, and monitors the distillation loss to decide when to retire the teacher. Stage 1 combines selective distillation from a frozen teacher with GRPO; a plateau detector then removes the teacher, and Stage 2 continues with GRPO alone. Calibrated on one model-domain pair and reused unchanged in three others, the plateau detector fires between steps 122 and 171. RELAY scores highest in-domain among the compared methods in all four settings, ahead of GRPO on RaR-Medicine by 4.62 points with Qwen3-1.7B and 6.02 with Qwen3-4B. On Qwen3-1.7B/Medicine, removing the teacher from a shared checkpoint outperforms keeping, weakening or refreshing it. Distilling selected rollouts covering about half the response tokens also outperforms distilling all rollouts at a matched average coefficient.

Latent Introspection: Models Can Detect Prior Concept Injections

Theia Pearson-Vogel, Martin Vanek, Raymond Douglas, Jan Kulveit

原文摘要

We uncover a latent capacity for introspection in a Qwen 32B model, demonstrating that the model can detect when concepts have been injected into its earlier context and identify which concept was injected. While the model denies injection in sampled outputs, logit lens analysis reveals clear detection signals in the residual stream, which are attenuated in the final layers. Furthermore, prompting the model with accurate information about AI introspection mechanisms can dramatically strengthen this effect: the sensitivity to injection increases massively (0.3% -> 39.9%) with only a 0.6% increase in false positives. Also, mutual information between nine injected and recovered concepts rises from 0.61 bits to 1.05 bits, ruling out generic noise explanations. Our results demonstrate models can have a surprising capacity for introspection and steering awareness that is easy to overlook, with consequences for latent reasoning and safety.

MACaQ: Fast, Model Agnostic Calibrated Quantization for Low-Precision Weights and Activations

Lorenz K. Muller, Philippe Bich, Chiara Boretti, Hyun-Min Chang, Jiawei Zhuang, Lukas Cavigelli

原文摘要

Weight-activation quantization can reduce the memory and compute cost of neural-network inference, but recent methods often require expensive optimization and architecture-specific propagation of basis transforms across layers. We introduce MACaQ, an MXFP4 W4A4 post-training quantization method that treats every linear layer independently. MACaQ applies a per-channel scale and a block-Hadamard transform online to each layer's activations, while absorbing the corresponding inverse transforms into its weights. Retaining these transforms online avoids cross-layer dependencies and enables a simple streaming implementation of the quantization process, in which only one layer must reside in memory at a time. To improve over round-to-nearest quantization, we introduce Flip-Refinement, a Hessian-aware coordinate-descent procedure that greedily moves individual FP4 codes to adjacent representable values. Despite executing the activation transforms at inference time, MACaQ adds only 2.3% end-to-end overhead over pure MXFP4 on Qwen3-32B in vLLM. MACaQ reaches lower perplexity than DuQuant++ and MR-GPTQ, and already matches their best perplexity on Llama-3-8B in 11 times less quantization time. We further apply MACaQ without architecture-specific modifications to an image diffusion model, illustrating the generality of its layer-local design and show quantization of a 122B parameter model in 64 minutes, using only 32.5GB GPU RAM.

Extended Wasserstein-GAN Approach to Causal Distribution Learning: Density-Free Estimation and Minimax Optimality

Shu Tamano, Masaaki Imaizumi

原文摘要

Distributional causal inference requires estimating not only average treatment effects but also interventional outcome distributions, including quantiles, tail risks, and policy-dependent uncertainty. As a method for distributional causal inference, generative adversarial network (GAN)-based counterfactual methods are flexible tools for this task. However, these methods have several limitations. First, the objectives of certain techniques do not coincide with the statistical risk of the identifiable causal target, and therefore provide limited theoretical guarantees regarding estimable counterfactual distributions or optimality. Second, implementing target-design risks under observational sampling can require density-ratio estimation. In this paper, we propose GANICE (GAN for Interventional Conditional Estimation) with several advantages: it (i) specifies the conditional interventional distribution for each treatment--covariate state as the causal estimation target; (ii) estimates the conditional distribution such that its averaged Wasserstein risk is minimized; (iii) attains minimax optimality. GANICE achieves these advantages through the extended Wasserstein distance and cell-normalized estimation, with minimax bounds based on Wasserstein GAN oracle inequalities and an anisotropic Assouad construction; Besov theory characterizes the cellwise critics. Our experiments show that GANICE outperforms existing methods on most benchmarks.

Closed-Form Implicit Neural Representations

Woojin Cho, Junghwan Park

原文摘要

Training implicit neural representations (INRs) to capture fine-scale details typically relies on iterative backpropagation and is often hindered by spectral bias when the target exhibits highly non-uniform frequency content. We propose ELM-INR, a backpropagation-free INR that decomposes the domain into overlapping subdomains and fits each local problem using an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) in closed form, replacing iterative optimization with stable linear least-squares solutions. This design yields fast and numerically robust reconstruction by combining local predictors through a partition of unity. To understand where approximation becomes difficult under fixed local capacity, we analyze the method from a spectral Barron norm perspective, which reveals that global reconstruction error is dominated by regions with high spectral complexity. Building on this insight, we introduce BEAM, an adaptive mesh refinement strategy that balances spectral complexity across subdomains to improve reconstruction quality in capacity-constrained regimes.

On the Geometric Bottlenecks of Cross-Lingual Knowledge Editing

Aastha A K Verma, Anwoy Chatterjee, Sparsh Jain, Tanmoy Chakraborty

原文摘要

Transformer-based autoregressive multilingual language models (LMs) are often assumed to store factual knowledge in an interlingua: a language-agnostic latent space. If this assumption holds, a parameter update applied in a source language during knowledge editing should inherently propagate to its semantic equivalents in target languages. However, empirical benchmarks show that cross-lingual propagation of edits often degrades substantially, a degradation that prior work treats largely as an algorithmic symptom rather than a structural bottleneck. In this work, we investigate whether representational anisotropy creates a structural bottleneck for source-only associative-memory editing, and perform a geometric dissection of the cross-lingual propagation gap. Using associative memory-based "locate-then-edit" methods, including ROME, MEMIT, and AlphaEdit, as analytical frameworks, we derive a closed-form decomposition of this gap into key-space propagation, parallel residual mismatch, and orthogonal residual mismatch. Our empirical findings show that cross-lingual propagation is primarily bottlenecked by a large orthogonal residual component, indicating that source-language edits often fail to span the target-language update directions required for successful transfer. Furthermore, we show that post-hoc correction using only source-language residual statistics encounters a large residual-prediction barrier. Finally, we perform a structural realignment via a targeted contrastive alignment objective and find that it substantially improves key-space propagation and partially improves cross-lingual edit transfer, while leaving value-space mismatch as a remaining bottleneck.

Neural Signals Generate Clinical Notes in the Wild

Jathurshan Pradeepkumar, Zheng Chen, Jimeng Sun

原文摘要

Generating clinical reports that summarize abnormal patterns, diagnostic findings, and clinical interpretations from long-term EEG recordings remains labor-intensive. We present CELM, the first clinical EEG-to-Language foundation model capable of summarizing long-duration, variable-length EEG recordings and performing end-to-end clinical report generation at multiple scales. CELM integrates pretrained EEG foundation models with language models to enable scalable multimodal learning. We curate a large-scale clinical EEG dataset containing 9,922 reports paired with approximately 11,000 hours of EEG recordings from 9,048 patients to train CELM, and release the benchmark pipeline, with automated report-structuring, to facilitate future research. Experimental results show that CELM consistently outperforms existing methods across all evaluation settings. Importantly, we further conduct human evaluation with clinical experts, demonstrating that CELM generates reports that are more clinically coherent, diagnostically reliable, and better aligned with expert interpretation. We release our model code and benchmark construction pipeline at https://github.com/Jathurshan0330/CELM.

User Embeddings are Superpositions of Interpretable Behavioral Modes

Jonathan Kozaczuk, Zheng Dong, Noyan Evirgen, Keivan Majidi, Eddie K. H. Ng, Chris Porter, Qi Zhao, Jia Geng 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

User embeddings are central components of modern recommendation, personalization, and behavioral modeling systems. Though these embeddings can compactly encode rich behavioral information, they are inherently dense and opaque, limiting interpretability. To address this gap, we argue that user embeddings can be understood as sparse superpositions of interpretable behavioral modes. This structure is directly predicted by generative models of user behavior for linear embeddings and extends approximately to deep-learning representations by the superposition hypothesis. Superimposed modes can naturally be recovered by sparse dictionary learning methods, such as sparse autoencoders (SAEs), and recovered modes can be automatically named and queried in natural language. We validate mode recovery against known ground truth on synthetic data, where SAEs recover modes better than classical sparse baselines. We then apply our methods to classical and transformer-based user embeddings from two real-world datasets. We also show how the corresponding natural-language labels enable zero-shot audience retrieval and characterization over embeddings never trained on text. The framework is post-hoc and model-agnostic, requiring no modification to the upstream embedding system.

SLA-Aware Task Offloading in the IoT Edge-Cloud Continuum: Class-Weighted Deep Reinforcement Learning Against an Exact Optimum

Shilpa Golla, Tharun Kumar Korine Palli, Urmila Bandaru

原文摘要

Deep reinforcement learning (RL) is often used to decide where Internet of Things (IoT) tasks with different latency limits run in the edge-cloud continuum, yet some methods give every missed task the same penalty and few compare their agents with an optimal policy. This benchmark study builds four offloading systems small enough to solve exactly by dynamic programming and measures reward and learner against the optimum. A bonus for a met limit makes each miss cost its penalty plus the bonus, which shifts the class weights of published per-class rewards. A class-blind penalty stays 65% to 118% above the optimal cost even with a perfect learner, while a corrected per-class penalty comes within 0.13% of the optimum. With a per-class reward, tuned proximal policy optimization (PPO) agents come within 9% to 11% of the optimum in the smallest system, and the corrected one beats a tuned reservation rule in 9 of 10 seeds. In larger systems the agents stay 41% to 76% above the optimum, and a tuned rule beats their mean. Training ten times longer does not close this gap, and a PPO-Lagrangian agent with reachable targets does no better than the per-class reward.

Beyond Oversquashing: Understanding Signal Propagation in GNNs Via Observables

Eden Nagar, Ya-Wei Eileen Lin, Ron Levie

原文摘要

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) perform computations on graphs by routing the signal between graph regions using a graph shift operator or a message passing scheme. Often, the propagation of the signal leads to a loss of information, where the signal tends to diffuse across the graph instead of being deliberately routed between regions of interest. Two notions that depict this phenomenon are oversmoothing and oversquashing. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach for modeling signal propagation, inspired by quantum mechanics, using the notion of observables. Specifically, we model the place in the graph where the signal lies, how much the signal is concentrated there, and how much of the signal is propagated towards a location of interest when applying a GNN. Using these new concepts, we prove that standard spectral GNNs have poor signal propagation capabilities. We then propose a new type of spectral GNN, termed Schrödinger GNN, which we show has a superior capacity to route the signal across the graph.

Coverage-Verified Sparse Attention: Closed-Loop Quality Control for Long-Context LLM Decoding

Yan-Cheng Li, Chun-Yi Lee

原文摘要

Sparse attention accelerates long-context decoding by reading a subset of the KV cache, but existing methods are open-loop: the kernel commits to its selection with no signal indicating whether enough attention mass was preserved and no recovery path when it was not. The needed signal already exists inside the kernel. The fraction of softmax mass on the selected tokens, which we call coverage, satisfies an exact algebraic equality with per-step output error and serves a dual role as the acceptance criterion and the interpolation weight for recovery. Coverage-Verified Sparse Attention (CVSA) turns coverage into a training-free, closed-loop verify-then-correct decode loop that accepts high-coverage drafts and recovers only the heads that fall short, with no sampling, no draft model, and no speculative-decoding infrastructure. Quality varies by only $0.14$ points across the threshold sweep; budget and scheduling ablations characterize the deployed operating point. On LongBench at 7B and 70B, CVSA comes within $1.13$ points of dense attention, statistically matching it at 70B, and it loses $0.8$ points on RULER; measured median decode-step speedup reaches $6.21\times$ at 128K context.

CONSTRAINER: Promptable Graph-Structured Optimization via Constraint Conditioning

Zeeshan Memon, Mingke Tian, Xinyuan Song, Hongwei Jin, Kibaek Kim, Liang Zhao

原文摘要

Neural methods for graph-structured optimization have achieved strong performance within individual problem classes, but are typically trained for fixed formulations, limiting reuse across related problem variants. Recent progress in foundation models has motivated shared neural backbones trained across multiple graph-structured optimization tasks; however, existing approaches primarily share instance-level representations while treating feasibility constraints implicitly. A key source of shared structure across constrained optimization problems is the constraint set itself, which often exhibits substantial overlap across tasks. We propose CONSTRAINER, a constraint-conditioned framework for graph-structured optimization that treats constraints as structured inputs. Constraint specifications are parsed into operator graphs and encoded using a graph neural network to produce invariant constraint embeddings, which condition a shared backbone model for solution prediction. We evaluate our approach on power grid optimization and mixed-integer linear programming problems, where it shows improved solution optimality and enables efficient transfer learning and generalization compared to baseline methods.

DTA-GT: Direction- and Topology-Aware Graph Transformer for Neural Network Representation Learning

Yuxiang Zeng, Kun Xie, Yang Wang, Jigang Wen, Xiaocan Li, Guangxing Zhang, Gaogang Xie, Jiannong Cao

原文摘要

Architecture attribute predictors reduce the cost of neural architecture search by estimating accuracy or latency from a small set of evaluated candidates. Neural architectures are operation-labeled directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), where edge directions determine computational roles and execution dependencies. Existing graph Transformer predictors incorporate topological and directional information in different ways, but primarily focus on specific mechanisms rather than coordinated encoder-wide modeling of these semantics. We introduce encoder-wide directional consistency, a design principle that coordinates the modeling of directed computational semantics across node initialization, global spectral encoding, pairwise interaction, and feature updates. To implement this principle, we propose DTA-GT, a Direction- and Topology-Aware Graph Transformer that integrates direction- and topology-aware node initialization, magnetic Laplacian spectral encoding, direction-dual structural attention, and a Direction-Sensitive MoE-FFN. Across accuracy and latency prediction on NAS-Bench-101 and NAS-Bench-201, DTA-GT consistently outperforms representative RNN-, CNN-, GNN-, Transformer-, and hybrid predictors under limited-budget settings. Ablations and magnetic spectral controls support the contribution of the direction-aware stages and orientation-sensitive spectral information, while mechanistic diagnostics characterize module behavior. These results support encoder-wide directional consistency as an effective design principle for architecture DAG representation.

What Do Collusion Probes Read? Three Pitfalls in Evaluating Multi-Agent Collusion Monitors

Mainul Hasan Mohsin, Mohammad Shahidur Rahman

原文摘要

Activation probes look like near-perfect monitors for secret collusion among large language model (LLM) agents. We show that they mostly detect that an agent was told to collude, not that it decided to. Our benchmark (2,500 committee and 1,476 code-review episodes) adds agents who receive the collusion instruction and refuse it, separating instruction from decision. Published detectors barely tell colluders from these refusers, and our best probe separates them mostly by reading the instruction: without it, agent AUROC falls from 1.00 to 0.61. Two further pitfalls inflate reported results: scored after the vote, a rule that only reads the votes reaches AUROC 0.990 but finds nothing before it; and in 57% of attempts no colluder argues for the target in public. The decision is still there: a probe trained on agents' own choices reads it (AUROC 0.73 without the instruction), and probes find colluders whose goal was fine-tuned into the weights (AUROC 0.995; pre-registered). We turn the controls into a protocol for testing any collusion monitor, and adapt scan statistics into an online monitor for groups of any size.

NeuroHorizon: Long-Horizon Forecasting of Neural Population Activity with Hierarchical Memory

Peng Jiang, Xiaoxuan Jia

原文摘要

Long-horizon forecasting of neural population activity tests whether a model has captured dynamics that remain predictive well beyond the observed history. Prediction quality typically declines as the horizon grows, yet neither short-horizon accuracy nor teacher-forced evaluation, which supplies the true activity preceding each predicted step, reveals how well models sustain predictions from an initial history alone. We compare direct multi-step prediction and autoregressive rollout on spiking recordings across horizons and introduce NeuroHorizon, which pairs event-based spike encoding with a causal decoder for population firing rates. Its hierarchical prediction memory keeps recent predictions at full temporal resolution and compresses earlier ones into segment summaries, giving the decoder both local detail and longer-range context. Under teacher-forced training this memory holds ground-truth activity, whereas during rollout it holds the model's own predictions. To reduce this mismatch, we train with scheduled sampling, progressively exposing the decoder to its own predictions. From 500 ms of macaque motor-cortex activity, NeuroHorizon achieves the highest forward-prediction score among the evaluated autonomous models at all four horizons from 100 to 1000 ms, and its per-bin predictions remain above a mean-firing-rate baseline across nearly the full 1 s window. Complementary experiments on macaque sensorimotor and mouse multi-region recordings show that performance generally increases with model and data size, alongside improved prediction after cross-subject pretraining and fine-tuning. Together, these results clarify how forecasting performance changes across horizons and offer an effective approach to long-horizon forecasting of neural population activity.

Clinical Evidence-Guided Residual Learning for Medication Recommendation with Dynamic DDI Regularization

Zesheng Li, Chengchang Pan, Honggang Qi

原文摘要

Medication recommendation must combine patient-specific treatment evidence with the interaction structure of a prescription. The central challenge is to determine which evidence supports each medication and how strongly to regularize interactions while preserving predictive quality. We propose EviDrug, a clinical evidence-guided residual learning framework. Its clinical-memory backbone integrates a self-trained visit-aware encoder, training-case memory and one medication-set interaction block to establish a patient-specific prescription. A gated refinement head combines the backbone states with clinical associations and history-conditioned medication identities through bounded logit corrections. Drug-drug interaction (DDI) feedback adapts regularization strength using training-query predictions. Across MIMIC-IV, NWICU and SICdb, EviDrug leads twelve published-method baselines in AP, F1 and Jaccard, improving AP by 2.26, 2.06 and 1.71 percentage points over the strongest comparator. These gains come at lower parameter and runtime costs than MetaDrug. Matched controls demonstrate DDI reductions with stable predictive quality. Code is available at https://github.com/LIZESHENG13/EviDrug.

Beyond ICA: Identifiability by Symmetry Breaking

Pengzhou Wu

原文摘要

We prove the population-level identifiability of deep generative models (DGMs) with piecewise-affine (PWA) decoders and Gaussian mixture model (GMM) priors, in a purely unsupervised setting. We introduce three algebraic contrast principles for symmetry breaking: *domain contrast*, which trivializes the mixture symmetry group, a label-free counterpart of the sufficient-variability assumption of nonlinear ICA; *mechanism contrast*, which ensures every decoder branch gets an observational boundary across which it toggles alone; and *interaction contrast*, which forbids parameter conspiracies between latent components and decoder branches. Together they exploit the interplay between the discrete combinatorics of the PWA map and the continuous symmetry structure of the latent GMM. Continuity is replaced by algebraic symmetry conditions; injectivity is decoupled from structural identification and required only for pointwise inversion. Our results form a hierarchy: from *law identifiability* (LID; latent distribution up to a global affine map) through *map identifiability* (MID; decoder up to the same map) to *posterior* and *pointwise identifiability*. The ICA-form ambiguity emerges under conditions on diagonal component covariances. The interaction contrast is the only one of our contrasts required on the estimator side. To our knowledge this is the first to develop algebraic symmetry-breaking into an identifiability engine for a concrete nonlinear model class, the first to admit discontinuous decoders, and the first to handle fully non-injective decoders, where every observation admits multiple latent codes.

TriSpec: Ternary Speculative Decoding via Lightweight Proxy Verification

Haoyun Jiang, Junqi He, Feng Hong, Xinlong Yang, Jianwei Zhang, Zhengyang Zhuge, Zheng Li, Xiaofeng Cao 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

Inference efficiency in Large Language Models (LLMs) is fundamentally limited by their serial, autoregressive generation, especially as reasoning becomes a key capability and response sequences grow longer. Speculative decoding (SD) offers a powerful solution, providing significant speed-ups through its lightweight drafting and parallel verification mechanism. While existing work has nearly saturated improvements in draft effectiveness and efficiency, this paper advances SD from a new yet critical perspective: the verification cost. We propose TriSpec, a novel ternary SD framework that, at its core, introduces a lightweight proxy to significantly reduce computational cost by approving easily verifiable draft sequences and engaging the full target model only when encountering uncertain tokens. TriSpec can be integrated with state-of-the-art SD methods like EAGLE-3 to further reduce verification costs, achieving greater acceleration. Extensive experiments on the Qwen3 and DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen/LLaMA families show that TriSpec achieves up to 35% speedup over standard SD, with up to 50% fewer target model invocations while maintaining comparable accuracy.

Detent: Batch-Invariant LLM Serving and RL Rollouts at Near-Stock Speed

Peixu Xin, Runchuan Feng, Jiazhen Guo, Kan Wu, Ming Yin

原文摘要

Reproducible evaluation, verifiable inference and on-policy reinforcement learning (RL) need an LLM engine to give a request the same output bits whichever requests share its batch. Batch-invariant kernels exist, but engines still select each kernel and its parameters from the batch. Two kernels that compute the same sum can round it differently. The engines' deterministic modes remove the choice by keeping one conservative kernel per operator and pay for it in latency. Many fast kernels are batch-invariant by themselves, so it is enough to fix the few batch-dependent values that kernel selection reads. Detent expresses kernel selection as a program that the engine executes. It finds the fewest values in this program that must be fixed and tunes them for the workload before deployment. On multi-GPU deployments of Llama-3.1-70B and Qwen3-30B-A3B in vLLM and SGLang, Detent is batch-invariant. Tuned per load, it serves at 1.04-1.17x the latency per output token of Stock (each engine with its standard settings), against 1.67-10.3x for the deterministic modes. In SGLang it matches the GSM8K accuracy of SGLang's deterministic mode. Detent covers multiple deployment combinations, including multiple engines, GPU generations, tensor-parallel degrees, and dense and MoE models. Seeded RL rollouts of models up to Llama-3.1-70B replay bit for bit under other batches and cache splits. A trainer on Detent's kernels and values matches every rollout logprob bit for bit at 1.03x Stock's rollout time per token. BF16 GRPO then stays stable where Stock's run collapses.

原文摘要

We present LAION-BVD (LAION - Big Video Dataset), a large-scale open video dataset for multimodal learning, which contains 1.3B platform-specific video URLs collected from CommonCrawl. From these, we download 80M videos with a total duration of 13.5 million hours. The dataset is designed for multimodal pre-training across the video, audio, and image modalities. Using content-aware scene detection, we extract clips for which we synthetically generate video and audio captions. Models trained on these data achieve competitive performance on standard video-text and audio-text benchmarks, with consistent improvements as training or model scale increases. Additionally, we explore video frames as an alternative source of image-text data by extracting scene-changing frames. These frames exhibit a visual distribution distinct from standard web image corpora, and models trained on this dataset achieve strong image-text retrieval performance. We release LAION-BVD to the research community. It significantly expands open access to multimodal videos at an unprecedented scale.

Spaghetti Architect: A Controlled Code Benchmark Generator, and What Its Own Comments Do to Model Scores

Yuxiang Ji

原文摘要

Code corpora mined from the wild cannot change one thing at a time: a program's behaviour, messiness and size vary together, and nothing marks the correct answer. We present Spaghetti Architect, a generator that turns a small JSON description of a program into deliberately messy programs in five languages. It compiles and runs every program, checks the output against a reference computed from the description, and labels each program by problem size and by messiness. This control lets us change one property at a time and still know the correct answer. The generator writes comments into its own output, so we first re-render identical code without them. Removing the comments lowers the refactoring score of all four models we tested, and lowers the weakest model's about ten times as much as the strongest model's; a pre-registered replication confirms the difference at a smaller magnitude. The comments also hide an effect: messiness leaves scores flat while they are present and lowers them on both tasks once they are gone. We therefore recommend evaluating on the comment-free rendering. Changing only problem size drives direct-answer aggregation accuracy to zero for every model, and changing only literal values moves scores by less than 0.012. The generator, the dataset and the evaluation records are open source.

Chem-PerturBridge: a harmonized compendium of small molecule perturbation transcriptomic effects

Artur Szałata, Olga Novitskaia, Maiia Shulman, Matthew Mella, Altynbek Zhubanchaliyev, Fabian J. Theis

原文摘要

Large perturbation models require training data encompassing chemical, cellular, and assay diversity. Current transcriptomic resources for small-molecule modeling, however, are fragmented across technologies, metadata conventions, controls, doses, and preprocessing pipelines. We introduce Chem-PerturBridge, a harmonized multi-dataset resource comprising over 37k compounds, 136 cellular contexts, and 1.25M transcriptomic samples across eight assay types, with standardized identifiers, metadata, and replicate-aware condition-level effects. We use the resource to evaluate matched-condition agreement across datasets and replicate agreement within datasets. Matched same-compound conditions show weak absolute agreement in fine-grained $\mathrm{logFC}$ rankings and magnitudes across most dataset pairs. However, they generally exceed individual same-context different-compound signatures, while often falling below the smoothed centroid of such signatures. Same-compound retrieval is above chance in all pairs. $\mathrm{LogFC}$ direction agreement is high in absolute terms, and exceeds both baselines in most cases. We further evaluate Chem-PerturBridge as a pretraining resource for compound representation learning. Under a compound-held-out OP3 evaluation split, embeddings pretrained on Chem-PerturBridge improve over L1000-only embeddings, Morgan fingerprints, chemical language model embeddings, and the descriptor-free OP3 baseline across metrics. An extensive molecule-holdout evaluation across 11 datasets further shows that models trained on Chem-PerturBridge outperform or match those that are not. Chem-PerturBridge therefore supports both diagnostic evaluation of cross-dataset signature agreement and model-oriented reuse of heterogeneous perturbation transcriptomic data.

Neural Modal Decomposition: Architectural Priors from Observables

Juho Park, Kaushik Sengupta

原文摘要

Many engineering building blocks behave as multi-port linear time-invariant systems. RF cavities, photonic devices, and superconducting quantum chips, despite their different underlying physics, all share a common mathematical structure for their port-level response. Each entry of the response matrix is a sum of contributions from a small number of intrinsic resonant modes, the pole-residue form. A model capable of predicting such responses for arbitrary geometries and arbitrary port configurations, while simultaneously extracting the underlying eigenmode structure, could therefore offer a design principle potentially applicable across all these domains. We propose a neural framework that learns this modal decomposition end-to-end, supervised only by system-level observables and without supervising the modal parameters themselves. The architecture decomposes into a port-independent pole predictor and two port-dependent coupling predictors whose outputs are combined entry-wise, separating intrinsic from port-dependent features. This factorization yields a single trained model that generalizes to port counts unseen during training, whereas direct regression needs a separate model for each port count, with an output size that grows as $\mathcal{O}(N^2)$. Although the modal parameters are never supervised, the freely parameterized poles converge to the physical resonances, in agreement with poles extracted by the AAA rational approximation algorithm. We instantiate the framework in radio-frequency electromagnetic surrogate modeling. A model trained only on 2-port data accurately predicts $N$-port responses unseen during training.

The RenAIssance: Caption-Guided Diffusion Models for Historical-Art Visual Media

Zhanyu Tuo

原文摘要

Generative AI can expand cultural collections into prompt-responsive visual media, but historical artworks rarely provide the paired descriptions needed to adapt modern image generators. We present The RenAIssance, a scalable pipeline that turns a collection of historical European artworks into a reusable text-to-image media resource. The pipeline generates scene-level captions with BLIP and uses the resulting approximately 15,000 image--text pairs from DEArt to train a compact LoRA adapter for Stable Diffusion v1.5. The adapter shifts generated images toward the historical-art distribution while retaining the base model's ability to render novel concepts. On historical and contemporary prompts of different lengths, it improves FID to the DEArt reference distribution in every setting with only a modest decrease in CLIP text--image similarity. Qualitative results show that the same adapter can render both period-appropriate subjects and contemporary concepts in a coherent historical visual language. By decoupling a reusable style representation from the base generator, the approach offers a practical building block for controllable historical-art media creation, interactive authoring, and rich-media experiences.

Cooperative Coevolution for Resource-Constrained Agentic LLM Post-Training

Zhiyuan Wang, Shengcai Liu, Jiahao Wu, Ning Lu, Hui Ouyang, Shaofeng Zhang, Haoze Lv, Ke Tang

原文摘要

Tool-using large language model (LLM) agents produce long, multi-turn trajectories, making gradient-based post-training memory-intensive. Evolution strategies (ES) enable memory-efficient full-parameter post-training without backpropagation and can eventually match the performance of gradient-based reinforcement learning (RL). However, resource-constrained settings typically offer only a few GPUs, so the high GPU-hour requirements of ES translate into prohibitively long training times. To address this, we introduce Cooperative Parameter-subspace Evolution Strategy (CoPES), a cooperative coevolutionary method that decomposes the full parameter space into lower-dimensional subspaces and searches over them cooperatively to improve optimization efficiency. On Qwen3.5-4B math, CoPES recovers 92% of full-parameter GRPO's validation-accuracy gain within the GPU-hour budget of GRPO's best validation checkpoint, versus 67% for standard ES. Its theoretical GPU memory requirement is less than one-eighth that of full-parameter GRPO. It consistently outperforms standard ES and LoRA-based GRPO on all evaluated pass@k metrics across five math benchmarks. CoPES's gains extend to Qwen3.5-9B with unchanged optimization hyperparameters and to multi-hop QA. These results demonstrate an improved trade-off between memory requirements and training time for agentic LLM post-training under resource constraints. The code is open-sourced in https://github.com/MetaronWang/CoPES

Effective Unbounded Drift Control in Heterogeneous Federated Learning: Bayesian Fine-Tuning Using a Reference Model

Taehwan Yoon, Wesley De Neve, Bongjun Choi

原文摘要

Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients while preserving data privacy. However, data and system heterogeneity often induce unbounded drift in model updates due to each clients' different multiple local steps, partial participation, and unbounded dynamics in model updates. These challenges severely degrade predictive performance, exacerbate catastrophic forgetting, and hinder global optimization forward to optimal updates. Related works (AdaBest, FedEve, A-FedPD) defined dual drift problems and proposed each regularization term to client optimization process. However, in aspect of temporal unbounded drift, they generally reflect last round temporal drift to client optimization while forgets prior temporal unbounded drift. To address these limitations, we propose FedRef, a robust optimization framework that leverages a reference model generalized from prior global models via Bayesian fine-tuning. FedRef integrates a Maximum A Posteriori (MAP)-based regularization mechanism that calibrates global updates toward a temporally aggregated reference model, thereby effectively controlling unbounded drift and maximizing empirical stability. Moreover, unlike prior approaches that rely on complex client-side optimization heuristics, FedRef achieves superior generalization to reflect recency weighting by seamlessly blending a robust probabilistic prior with global likelihood optimization. By maintaining a temporal moving average centered on previous global trajectories, the proposed framework provides a highly reliable optimization anchor.

BSTabDiff: Block-Subunit Diffusion Priors for High-Dimensional Tabular Data Generation

Al Zadid Sultan Bin Habib, Md Younus Ahamed, Prashnna Gyawali, Gianfranco Doretto, Donald A. Adjeroh

原文摘要

High-Dimensional Low-Sample Size (HDLSS) tabular domains (e.g., omics) are characterized by $n \ll m$, where $n$ = number of samples, and $m$ = number of features. Such domains often exhibit strong local correlation groups, sparse cross-group dependencies, heavy-tailed non-Gaussian marginals, heteroscedastic noise, and structured missingness, making direct density learning in $\mathbb{R}^m$ ill-conditioned since $n \ll m$. We propose BSTabDiff, a block-subunit generative framework that partitions the $m$ observed features into $M$ latent blocks ($M \ll m$) and generates each block via a shared low-dimensional subunit variable, concentrating global dependence learning in the compact block-latent space $\mathbb{R}^M$ while decoding to the full feature space with copula-driven dependence, flexible per-feature marginals, and explicit missingness mechanisms. BSTabDiff can induce a data-driven feature ordering and block construction before latent partitioning, allowing the model to better align with local dependency structure when such organization is beneficial. BSTabDiff supports modern deep priors on block latents, including diffusion and normalizing flows, enabling stable synthesis and controllable benchmark generation in the HDLSS regime. Empirically, BSTabDiff produces more realistic and more stable high-dimensional synthetic data when compared with unstructured tabular generators on HDLSS data.

Asymptotically Log-Optimal Bayes-Assisted Confidence Sequences for Bounded Means

Valentin Kilian, Stefano Cortinovis, François Caron

原文摘要

Confidence sequences based on test martingales provide time-uniform uncertainty quantification for the mean of bounded i.i.d. observations without parametric distributional assumptions. Their practical efficiency, however, depends strongly on the choice of martingale updates, and many existing constructions do not exploit prior information about plausible data-generating distributions or mean values. We propose a Bayes-assisted framework that uses a Bayesian working predictive model to adaptively construct confidence sequences. For each candidate mean and time point, the predictive distribution selects, among valid one-step martingale factors, the update maximising predictive expected log-growth; validity is therefore preserved even when the prior or working model is misspecified. We prove that if the predictive distribution is Wasserstein-consistent, the resulting procedure is asymptotically log-optimal, matching the per-sample log-growth of an oracle procedure with access to the true distribution. We instantiate the framework using robust predictives based on Dirichlet-process mixtures and Bayesian exponentially tilted empirical likelihood. Experiments on synthetic data, sequential best-arm identification for LLM evaluation, and prediction-powered inference show that informative priors can substantially reduce confidence-sequence width and sampling effort while retaining anytime-valid coverage.
