Muon with Nesterov Momentum: Heavy-Tailed Noise and (Randomized) Inexact Polar Decomposition

Sayantan Choudhury, Xiaoran Cheng, Martin Takáč, Sen Na, Mladen Kolar

原文摘要

Most first-order optimizers treat matrix-valued parameters as vectors, ignoring the intrinsic geometry of hidden-layer weights in neural networks. Muon addresses this mismatch by updating along the polar factor of a momentum matrix, but its theoretical understanding has lagged behind practice. In particular, practical implementations incorporate Nesterov momentum, compute the polar factor only approximately, and operate with stochastic gradients that may be heavy-tailed. We close this gap by developing a convergence theory for Muon with Nesterov momentum and inexact polar decomposition in non-convex matrix optimization under heavy-tailed noise. Our analysis builds on a unified framework for inexact polar decomposition that captures practical iterative approximations such as Newton-Schulz and quantifies how their errors propagate through the optimization dynamics. Under uniform bounds on polar errors, we establish an optimal iteration and sample complexity of $O \left(\varepsilon^{\frac{-(3α-2)}{(α-1)}} \right)$ for finding an $\varepsilon$-stationary point, where $α\in(1,2]$~denotes the heavy-tail index. For the inexact-polar setting with $σ_1=0$, we also provide guarantees that do not require prior knowledge of $α$. We analyze a randomized low-rank polar decomposition that is substantially more efficient than full-space methods while remaining compatible with our theory. Numerical experiments further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed inexact and randomized~variants.

Early Failure Detection and Intervention in Video Diffusion Models

Byungki Kwon, Sohwi Lim, Nam Hyeon-Woo, Moon Ye-Bin, Tae-Hyun Oh

原文摘要

Text-to-video (T2V) diffusion models have rapidly advanced, yet generations still occasionally fail in practice, such as low text-video alignment or low perceptual quality. Since diffusion sampling is non-deterministic, it is difficult to know during inference whether a generation will succeed or fail, incurring high computational cost due to trial-and-error regeneration. To address this, we propose an early failure detection and diagnostic intervention pipeline for latent T2V diffusion models. For detection, we design a Real-time Inspection (RI) module that converts latents into intermediate video previews, enabling the use of established text-video alignment scorers for inspection in the RGB space. The RI module completes the conversion and inspection process in just 39.2ms. This is highly efficient considering that CogVideoX-5B requires 4.3s per denoising step when generating a 480p, 49-frame video on an NVIDIA A100 GPU. Subsequently, we trigger a hierarchical and early-exit intervention pipeline only when failure is predicted. Experiments on CogVideoX-5B and Wan2.1-1.3B demonstrate consistency gains on VBench with up to 2.64 times less time overhead compared to post-hoc regeneration. Our method also generalizes to a higher-capacity setting, remaining effective on Wan2.1-14B with 720p resolution and 81-frame generation. Furthermore, our pipeline is plug-and-play and orthogonal to existing techniques, showing seamless compatibility with prompt refinement and sampling guidance methods. We also provide evidence that failure signals emerge early in the denoising process and are detectable within intermediate video previews using standard vision-language evaluators.

Silent Reward and Environment Defects in EV Charging Simulation Benchmarks: A Diagnostic Checklist

Nour-Eddine Moumni, Rachid Alaoui, Driss Kiouach

原文摘要

Reinforcement-learning (RL) benchmarks built on microscopic traffic simulators such as SUMO are increasingly used to compare agent architectures for electric vehicle (EV) charging assignment. Unlike crashes, defects in the reward function, the environment's stochastic model, or the state encoding often fail silently: the simulation completes, produces plausible numbers, and the comparison is biased. We report five such defects, found by auditing a five-agent benchmark on OpenStreetMap road networks, stated generically: a shared random generator that desynchronises seed-paired comparisons, an ablation-specific reward clip applied unconditionally, a normalisation mismatch that zeroes a reward term, a per-timestep penalty that should fire once per event, and a state dimensionality documented but never wired into the network. We quantify three: a rejection counter inflated up to 125x across agents/cities, a reward term bounded at about $10^{-4}$ of its intended scale, and a 16.6%/16.3% greedy-action divergence from a state-encoding mismatch. Re-analysing a historical ablation, no A1-A2 effect survives family-wise correction; a 56-run campaign confirms the RNG defect's mechanism directly while showing its correction does not change that conclusion. We provide an eight-item checklist as a low-cost first-pass audit; in a later regeneration, three checks caught two new defects while three further process/artefact defects fell outside its boundary.

Encode Once, Answer Many: Internalizing Context via Parametric Flow

Xinhao Zhong, Mengxuan Wu, Chonghua Liao, Linxi Xie, Ruicheng Feng, Kangqiao Xu, Yanpei Guo, Hao Tan 等 26 位作者

原文摘要

Large language models are typically adapted to a task either by placing knowledge in the input context, which keeps it external and re-encodes it on every call, or by fine-tuning, which internalizes it but demands a costly round of optimization per task. We aim to internalize the knowledge carried by a context directly into model parameters, without per-task optimization and without keeping the context in the input at inference time. To this end, we propose CLIK, a context-conditioned parameter generator that maps a given context to LoRA parameters for internalizing knowledge in a single forward pass through a Transformer encoder with cross-attention, requiring no test-time gradient updates. Once the generated LoRA is inserted into a frozen base model, the model answers downstream queries from the query alone, having internalized the context into its weights rather than re-reading it. Because the adapter depends only on the context, it is generated once and reused for every query on the same document, so the cost of reading that document is amortized across queries. On document question answering, CLIK substantially improves over the no-context base model and outperforms existing hypernetwork-based generators, while remaining behind a base model that reads the context directly, and it carries over to multi-turn dialogue without any multi-turn-specific training. Analysis further shows that the context-dependent part of the generated adapter concentrates in a compact and specific substructure.

FinishStrong: Learning to End Well after Imperfect Start in Video Temporal Grounding

Yuda Zou, Boxiang Zhou, Xin Zhou, Yibo Chen, Dejia Song, Xu Tang, Yao Hu, Yongchao Xu

原文摘要

A poor start lowers the ceiling, but does not negate the value of finishing well. In autoregressive video temporal grounding, models systematically exhibit an endpoint performance asymmetry, predicting ends significantly worse than starts. A committed flawed start acts as an immutable physical constraint, irreversibly capping the attainable overlap as a sunk loss. While models should minimize the remaining conditional regret, standard post-training paradigms fail to teach this adaptation. Specifically, teacher-forced SFT suffers from strict prefix exposure bias, and holistic trajectory evaluation in standard GRPO inadvertently penalizes conditionally optimal ends if they follow a poor start. To address this, we introduce FinishStrong, a novel two-stage post-training framework explicitly designed to teach optimal continuations. First, Online-start SFT exposes the end prediction to the model's own generated contexts. Second, Conditional-tree GRPO restructures the sampling topology, centering end rewards exclusively within the same-start branch to mathematically isolate the conditional end quality from the inherited start penalty. FinishStrong-9B achieves a state-of-the-art 61.7\% overall IoU on TimeLens-Bench, remarkably outperforming flagship closed-source models like Gemini-3.8-Flash and Qwen3.8-Max. Crucially, when forced to continue from imperfect starts, it reduces the subsequent end prediction error by 36.5\%, proving its exceptional ability to end well after flawed starts. Code will be open.

Teacher-Aware Evolution of Heuristic Programs from Learned Optimization Policies

Minyu Chen, Song Qin, Ling-I Wu, Jianxin Xue, Guoqiang Li

原文摘要

LLM-based automatic heuristic design has shown promise for generating executable heuristics for combinatorial optimization, but existing methods mainly rely on delayed endpoint performance. We propose a \emph{teacher-aware evolutionary framework} that uses independently trained learned optimization policies as behavioral teachers. Instead of deploying or imitating the teacher, our method queries it on states visited by candidate heuristic programs and uses its action preferences as local feedback for evolution. The resulting search discovers static executable heuristics guided by both task performance and teacher-derived behavioral signals. Experiments on scheduling, routing, and graph optimization benchmarks show that our method improves over performance-driven LLM heuristic evolution baselines while requiring no neural inference at deployment. These results suggest that learned optimization policies can be repurposed as behavioral feedback sources for automatic heuristic discovery.

WISE-ATTA: When to Ask for Labels in Budgeted Active Test-Time Adaptation

Muhammad Huzaifa, Lea Schönherr, Thorsten Eisenhofer

原文摘要

Active test-time adaptation (ATTA) improves robustness under distribution shift by updating a deployed model during inference while selectively querying supervision. However, most existing ATTA methods implicitly assume that supervision can be requested for every incoming test batch, which can incur substantial annotation cost over long test streams. In this work, we introduce budgeted ATTA in which labels are available for only a fraction of test batches. This formulation shifts the central challenge from deciding what to label within a batch to deciding when supervision should be applied over time. To address this challenge, we propose a budget-aware approach WISE-ATTA that allocates supervision over the test stream based on lightweight signals computed online, prioritizing periods where supervision is likely to be most useful. When a batch is selected for supervision, we further employ a drift-based sample selection criterion that targets samples exhibiting ongoing, unconverged adaptation dynamics, enabling effective updates from a single labeled example. We evaluate this approach on synthetic corruptions (ImageNet-C) and natural distribution shifts (ImageNet-R/K/A). Across settings, WISE-ATTA achieves competitive or improved performance compared to recent ATTA methods while requiring substantially fewer labels. Overall, we find that the timing of supervision is a key, yet underexplored, aspect of active test-time adaptation. Code: https://github.com/Muhammad-Huzaifaa/WISE-ATTA

Teleoperation System for Service Robots using Virtual Reality Headset and Pose Estimation

Eduardo Fernandes, Tiago Ribeiro, Antonio Ribeiro, Carolina Lopes, Gil Lopes, Fernando Ribeiro

原文摘要

This paper presents a teleoperation system for service robots that integrates human pose estimation with virtual reality (VR) to enable intuitive remote control. By using the Mediapipe framework for 2D pose detection and extending it with RGB-D data from the Intel RealSense D455 camera, a comprehensive 3D human pose estimation is achieved. This data is then mapped to the robot's kinematics, allowing the operator to control the robot's movements naturally. A VR interface was developed to provide an immersive perspective, enhancing the operator's situational awareness. Real-world experiments were conducted using the CHARMIE service robot to validate the system's effectiveness in tasks involving object manipulation. While the current system successfully demonstrates the potential of VR-based teleoperation, challenges remain in accurately capturing certain joint angles (e.g., wrist yaw) and ensuring precise mapping between human and robot movements. Future work includes the integration of inertial measurement units (IMUs) for improved rotational tracking and the implementation of more advanced control algorithms. Overall, this research contributes to the development of more intuitive and effective teleoperation systems for service robots, facilitating their deployment in complex and dynamic environments. This work further introduces a novel approach to teleoperation by combining RGB-D sensing with an innovative algorithm for real-time joint angle computation using Mediapipe, enhancing the precision of human-robot motion mapping and enabling immersive control through a VR interface. These contributions represent significant advancements in the field of human-robot interaction, particularly for service robot applications.

A Bounded Evaluation Protocol for Representational Systematicity

Boyu Cao, Wenshuo Wang

原文摘要

Multiple studies have shown that neural networks can be behaviorally systematic, producing correct outputs for novel combinations of familiar parts. Whether they are also representationally systematic, that is, whether they represent these parts and their roles and use them to produce the outputs, remains hard to test, because each kind of evidence can mislead on its own: correct outputs can come from shortcuts, a decodable signal need not be used, an intervention can act through unintended pathways, and a failed search does not show absence. We propose a bounded evaluation protocol for representational systematicity (Bounded-RS): for an explanation that attributes a systematic behavior to a declared representation, it tests on a matched behavioral contrast whether that representation is recoverable and whether it is causally used, checks the validity of this evidence, and assigns the explanation one of four bounded states, Unsupported, Present-only, Causal-use, or Undetermined, through control-calibrated scores, gates, and stop rules. On a semantic-parsing testbed of 96 matched sets that we release, the tested role-filler Binding explanation of fine-tuned T5 models is Causal-use and the distributed Geometry explanation is Unsupported within its declared search space, verdicts that hold across calibration-compatible parameter configurations, training seeds, and T5-base. On 41 cases with known causal status, full adjudication licenses a false Causal-use in 1 of 34 noncausal cases, against 13 when recoverability is taken as use, without missing any causal case. Bounded-RS thus turns the question of representational systematicity, debated since Fodor and Pylyshyn, into comparable and falsifiable verdicts on declared explanations, each reported with the evidence pattern that licenses it and, for a negative, the search space that bounds it.

Optimization Frameworks & Learning Algorithms for Discrete-Time Mean Field Games

Xin Guo, Mathieu Laurière

原文摘要

This monograph introduces discrete-time mean field games with finite state and action spaces, emphasizing optimization formulations and learning algorithms. Starting from Markov decision processes and finite-player stochastic games, it develops the notion of mean field Nash equilibrium, establishes existence and uniqueness results under suitable assumptions, and explains how mean field equilibria yield approximate equilibria in large finite-player games. Building on the linear programming formulation of Markov decision processes, occupation measures and primal-dual formulations connect equilibrium computation with mathematical optimization. The monograph presents fixed-point iterations, fictitious play, online mirror descent, and optimization-based methods, discussing their convergence properties and limitations. Numerical examples illustrate crowd motion, traffic routing, epidemic management, and the computation of multiple equilibria. It combines examples, theoretical results, and implementable algorithms, with bibliographic notes providing connections to the broader literature.

AI-Enabled Question-Answering for Chartered Accountancy: A Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning Framework

Jatin Gupta, Akhil Sharma, Saransh Singhania, Ali Imam Abidi

原文摘要

The inception of Large Language Models (LLMs) has catalyzed AI adoption in the finance sector, yet their reliability in complex, jurisdiction-specific tasks like Indian Chartered Accountancy (CA) remains limited. The models display difficulty in executing numerical tasks which require multiple steps while also needing advanced knowledge about legal regulations and the method of scaling their operations is not feasible in settings which have limited access to resources. We present CA-ThinkFlow as a parameter-efficient Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework which operates with a 14B, 4-bit-quantized reasoning model, 14B-DeepSeek-R1, and a layout-aware Docling extraction system which maintains document structure during extraction. CA-ThinkFlow uses a basic RAG method which automatically adds retrieved information into the prompt, while it depends on the model's built-in Chain-of-Thought (CoT) functions to create context and produce correct answers. The system we developed system operates at performance levels which match large proprietary models when we tested it on the multi-level CA-Ben benchmark, achieving Scholastic Reliability Coefficient (SRC) results which equal 68.75\% of GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. The framework shows high efficiency and strength in handling parameters, but essential reasoning abilities fail to process complex regulatory texts which exist in fields such as Taxation.

ReCoG: Relative Node Contexts for Multi-Domain Graph Pre-training

Yupeng Tong, Lianze Shan, Jitao Zhao, Dongxiao He

原文摘要

The success of foundation models in language and vision has motivated Graph Foundation Models (GFMs), which learn transferable knowledge through multi-domain graph pre-training. Existing methods advance GFMs through feature unification and structural learning, and in doing so they rely on the raw graph structure to organize node contexts. However, we observe that removing a large proportion of edges from source graphs during pre-training improves cross-domain transfer accuracy across four representative methods. Our theoretical analysis identifies the raw graph structure as a source of conflict in cross-graph model sharing. We therefore advocate defining node contexts using criteria consistent across graphs. Achieving this requires (1) constructing node contexts consistently across graphs without a shared positional structure, such as the token order of text or the pixel grid of images, and (2) retaining the structural and neighborhood information of the original graphs. To this end, we introduce Relative Contexts for Graphs (ReCoG) for multi-domain graph pre-training. Specifically, we first construct attribute contexts to provide a comparison rule independent of the raw graph structure. Furthermore, we construct structural contexts based on common neighbors and semantic contexts based on neighborhood attribute summaries to retain the topological and neighborhood information of the original graphs. Since all graphs share these construction rules, we pre-train a single graph encoder by reconstructing node attributes over these contexts, without domain-specific modules. We conduct extensive experiments on 18 target datasets, which demonstrate the effectiveness of ReCoG. In particular, ReCoG exceeds the strongest baseline by 7.61 percentage points in mean 1-shot cross-domain node classification accuracy and by 4.47 points in cross-type transfer to heterophilous graphs.

From Logs to Faults: Reference-Free Fault Localization for Retrieval-Augmented Generation Pipelines

Hira Naveed, Scott Barnett, Stefanus Kurniawan, John Grundy, Chetan Arora, Hourieh Khalajzadeh, Omar Haggag

原文摘要

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines are widely used for domain-specific question answering, yet locating faults remains manual and time-consuming. Fault localization is challenging because RAG pipelines consist of interdependent stages, where faults can propagate downstream, masking their origin, or remain undetected even when the final answer is correct. Existing evaluation approaches often focus on individual stages and rely on reference answers or code instrumentation. We present RAGLog, which detects and localizes faults across RAG stages using execution logs, without requiring reference answers or code instrumentation. RAGLog transforms heterogeneous API logs into a common RAG schema and combines rule-based, embedding-based, and LLM-based checks to identify faulty stages. We introduce a live fault injector and RAGLog Faults, a dataset of 3,134 runs from five RAG pipelines with stage-level fault labels. With Claude Haiku 5.5, RAGLog achieves a pooled F1 score of 0.73 on runs with naturally occurring faults, outperforming Claude Code (0.58) and Codex (0.52), and comparable effectiveness on runs with injected faults (0.84 versus 0.80 and 0.82, respectively). It analyzes runs in approximately five seconds at US\$0.005 each, with overall lower cost and latency than agent baselines. RAGLog is available as an open-source tool for debugging, evaluating, and monitoring RAG pipelines.

A Deep Reinforcement Learning Framework for Real-Time Electric Vehicle Charging Management in IoEV-Enabled Smart Cities

Nour-Eddine Moumni, Rachid Alaoui, Driss Kiouach

原文摘要

The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) in urban environments demands intelligent, decentralised charging management strategies that operate under strict real-time constraints. This paper proposes an Edge-Intelligent architecture in which each EV selects a charging station (CS) by querying a shared, centrally trained Deep Q-Network (DQN) policy over a lightweight MQTT publish-subscribe backbone; independent per-EV edge inference is the deployment target, not the configuration evaluated here. The reported simulation evaluates that shared DQN policy applied sequentially to each vehicle's observations within a single SUMO run, using MQTT for KPI telemetry while observations are obtained through TraCI. The system is evaluated on two real-world road networks from OpenStreetMap (Rabat Agdal-Hay Riad and Tangier, Morocco); the primary network carries four geolocated public charging stations with heterogeneous power levels (50 kW and 150 kW). Three traffic demand profiles (morning, midday, evening peak) are simulated, and four decision policies are compared: an Adaptive Heuristic, a Tabular Q-Learning agent, the proposed DQN agent, and a Double DQN variant. A multi-seed statistical protocol (7 seeds, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Cohen's d) evaluates the results. The DQN agent achieves a 6.8% relative improvement in charge rate and a 5.4% increase in delivered energy over the Adaptive Heuristic under Evening Peak demand ($p = 0.016$, Cohen's $d = 0.99$ and $1.51$), while showing no advantage in waiting time; on the second network the heuristic leads on waiting time, so the ranking is not stable across geographies. A scalability analysis shows linear state-space growth with station count and sub-millisecond inference; all runs include intermittent station outages under a Markov failure process.

Hybrid++: The Bridge between PDE Models and Deep Learning for Gamma Noise Removal

Mahipal Jetta, Sujato Dutta

原文摘要

Multiplicative gamma noise is one of the dominant noise factors in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and medical ultrasound images. They are dependent on pixel level noises due to which they are highly varying across the image and harder to handle as compared to additive noise. The denoising methods to address this noise currently include classical partial differential equation (PDE) methods which are good for interpretation but lack the restoration ability as compared to the state-of-the-art models while deep neural networks like DnCNN achieve high performance but at the cost of transparency due to which practitioners are skeptical to use them in high-risk critical fields like medicine. This paper presents Hybrid++, a novel trainable nonlinear reaction-diffusion architecture that addresses both the concerns - staying interpretable while offering performance close to huge black-box models. It combines a fully learnable PDE initialization with a 3-stage reaction-diffusion network having 64-channel multiscale filter banks, 4-layer Squeeze-and-Excitation attention-based influence functions and a 64-dimensional noise level embedding. It uses a two-phase training strategy, stage-wise optimization followed by joint end-to-end refinement which enables co-adaptation of all learnable parameters. On the FoE benchmark, Hybrid++ substantially improves over classical PDE, BM3D and the original TNRD baselines. In the severe-noise setting L=1, it comes within 0.23 dB PSNR of a separately trained DnCNN while using only about 8% of its parameters.

CompliantBot: Learning Whole-Body Compliance across Task Interfaces for Humanoid Control

Haoyang Li, Keqi Zhu, Zhanxiang Cao, Yang Zhang, Yizhi Chen, Xuekang Yang, Yue Gao

原文摘要

Humanoid controllers need the ability to yield to external forces while retaining the capacity to resume their original tasks. However, tracking objectives penalize the deviations needed for yielding, while relaxing tracking goals persistently can make task recovery harder. Existing approaches often rely on task-specific interaction command interfaces or constructed compliant motion data and reference trajectories, limiting the direct reuse of their compliance-training mechanisms across different task interfaces. We introduce CompliantBot, a compliance-training framework for motion tracking and velocity-command locomotion. It preserves the original task inputs and requires no preconstructed compliant data or target trajectories. A state-dependent interaction force field couples applied loads to the robot's motion, enabling local articulation and whole-body movement to change the forces experienced. A complementary force-magnitude reward encourages lower interaction loads, while task rewards are downweighted during loading and restored after release to coordinate yielding and task resumption. The trained policies use task inputs and proprioceptive history without explicit external-force measurements. Across both task interfaces, CompliantBot yields farther under constant pulls and experiences lower spring interaction loads than matched baselines, while resuming task tracking after force removal. CompliantBot achieves the highest task completion among the compared methods under stronger pulls. Power evaluations further show that CompliantBot has the lowest mean joint mechanical power among the compared methods. Real-robot demonstrations further illustrate compliant responses through arm motion, stepping, and body reorientation.

Evolving Memory, Learning to Meta-Control: Test-Time Adaptation for Experience-augmented LLM Agents

Zeyuan Zhao, Yuanyuan Shi, Peng Yu, Lingyue Fu, Shao Zhang, Ying Wen

原文摘要

Self-evolving agents accumulate experience from task streams, but existing frameworks typically rely on fixed pipelines to retrieve and utilize this experience, neglecting when and how to deploy it. We introduce Online Meta-Control of Experience (OMCE), a framework that updates experience memory and learns a meta-control policy from task feedback during test-time adaptation. OMCE employs a lightweight contextual-bandit meta-controller that uses compact retrieval signals to select among four cognitive actions: DIRECT, EPISODE, GUIDE, and DISTILL. This routing mechanism operationalizes three coupled decisions: whether to invoke experience, which memory format to utilize, and when to consolidate new guidance. OMCE evolves online, leveraging task feedback to update the memory bank and refine the routing policy via contextual bandit updates. Experiments on four online adaptation benchmarks across four backbones show that OMCE improves first-attempt success by up to 20.5 percentage points over the strongest compared baseline, while reducing per-task token use by a factor of 5.7 to 62.5 relative to ACE with GPT-5.2. Controlled ablations further support the benefits of learned routing and continued routing policy adaptation.

Convex Regression at Scale: Geometry-Preserving Constraint Sparsification

Anish Senapati, Jose Blanchet

原文摘要

Convex regression provides a flexible nonparametric estimation framework while incorporating appropriate shape information. However, its standard least-squares formulation has $O(n^2)$ supporting-hyperplane constraints creating a computational bottleneck as the sample size $n$ increases. We study a $K$-nearest-neighbor (KNN) localized relaxation for convex regression where we for each sample, we only maintain the $K$ nearest hyperplane constraints. Under mild regularity conditions, we establish statistical guarantees for our modified estimator in every fixed dimension $d\ge2$. In particular, for $d>4$, the population risk of our modified problem can be shown to have equivalent convergence rates as the original least square convex regression estimator of $\widetilde O(n^{-2/d})$ using neighborhoods sizes (i.e. $K=K_n$) of order $\widetilde O(n^{2(d-1)/(2d-1)})$ for general convex functions and $\widetilde O(n^{(d+1)/(d+2)})$ for strongly convex functions. To corroborate our theory, we implement iterative optimization methods to compare the prediction accuracy of the KNN relaxation with those of the full estimator across synthetic convex benchmarks. Our experiments demonstrate that KNN prediction risk approaches the full-estimator prediction risk at neighborhood sizes matching the theoretical scale.

From Single-Agent Self-Discovery to Multi-Agent Adaptation: Scaling Laws of Partner Feedback and Convention Rigidity in Meta Reinforcement Learning Algorithms

Haomin Luo, Ersha Li

原文摘要

A key milestone toward Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) is replacing hand-crafted optimizers with meta-learned update rules (such as Disco103 and OPEN) that discover how agents learn. Yet when a self-discovered RL model trains with adapting teammates, does co-evolution sustain capability gains or trap agents in brittle conventions? Across 1,800+ runs in continuous collective robotics (VMAS) and discrete coordination (Overcooked), we establish five laws of multi-agent adaptation. First, four-cell counterfactual partner swaps expose an evaluation illusion: apparent team progress often masks focal regression (+1.066 team gain concealing -0.119 focal loss) and inflates transfer by +0.649 to +1.210. Second, a 288-run physical-coupling sweep ($α\in [0, 1.5]$) reveals a linear scaling law ($β= +0.255$, $p = 0.000488$, Spearman $ρ= 1.0$): live reciprocal feedback keeps Disco103 invariant (AUC 0.297--0.322), whereas severing feedback triggers a monotonic collapse (-0.172 to -0.490), with OPEN establishing a sensitivity spectrum (Disco103 > OPEN > MAPPO). Third, extending navigation training eightfold (1.05M steps) enables Disco103 to overtake MAPPO (+0.087 team return, +0.133 bank gain), while decoupled training boosts cross-partner completion by +10.16% (56.25% vs. 46.09%). Fourth, in Overcooked, MAPPO's self-play conventions induce a 28.13% cross-partner collision rate, whereas Disco103 cuts collisions to 12.77% and achieves 3.33x higher bank return (9.96 vs. 2.99; net gain +6.43), further improved by decoupled meta-adaptation (+1.39 with scripted partners). Finally, perturbation pulses ($p=0.00098$), auxiliary entropy diagnostics (8.485 nats), and 48 multi-lifetime meta-evolved rules ($L_2 \in [2.11, 4.91]$) trace these dynamics to partner-gradient blindness and auxiliary drift, informing multi-agent self-discoverd algorithms.

How Does Chain-of-Thought Supervision Teach Models to Reason? A Theoretical Analysis

Kaito Takanami, Cengiz Pehlevan

原文摘要

Training with chain-of-thought (CoT) supervision is an effective approach for teaching models multi-step reasoning procedures. At inference time, however, models may need to continue reasoning beyond the finite teacher CoT sequences observed during training, and longer reasoning can instead degrade performance, a phenomenon known as overthinking. How the amount and structure of training-time CoT give rise to such failures remains theoretically poorly understood. To study this problem, we introduce an in-context weight prediction model trained on finite gradient descent trajectories for linear regression. Using high-dimensional asymptotic analysis, we show that the success and failure modes of long-horizon reasoning undergo phase transitions depending on the context length and the total amount of training CoT. We further distinguish two mechanisms of overthinking, error accumulation and error amplification, and show that with short training contexts, increasing the training CoT budget can worsen long-horizon error before eventually stabilizing reasoning. Experiments with fully trained linear and multi-head softmax attention further show that these qualitative behaviors persist. Our results provide a theoretical account linking properties of training-time CoT to inference-time failures and offer guidance for designing teacher CoT that supports stable reasoning.

RSI-Env: An Open-Ended Environment for Recursive Self-Improvement of Agents

Wanying Qu, Zhiyuan Fan, Jiyao Liu, Jiang Zhou, Jianghan Shen, Yanwei Fu, Dongrui Liu

原文摘要

Recursive self-improvement (RSI) envisions agent systems that autonomously improve their own models and harnesses, with each updated system continuing to improve itself. Existing approaches typically restrict optimization objectives, editable components, or evaluation procedures, limiting open-ended exploration and continuity across generations. We introduce RSI-Env, a persistent environment for coordinated model-harness improvement, supporting autonomous training, harness modification, and retention of research state. An independent Host Controller manages services, evaluation, and versioning. Under Self, each accepted model-harness version takes over the next improvement round. We define three settings that vary goal specificity and access to benchmark feedback: Open-General, Capability-Directed, and Benchmark-Guided. Across these three settings, we compare Self with two fixed external Teachers on seven tasks, starting from Qwen3.8-27B with a minimal harness. Without benchmark feedback, Open-General Self raises GPQA Diamond accuracy from 65.2% to 73.2% and AIME 2026 accuracy from 53.3% to 56.7%. All three Capability-Directed Self runs achieve target-aligned gains. Knowledge Self demonstrates continued improvement across system updates, with SimpleQA accuracy rising from 82.0% to 85.0% and then 88.0%. Benchmark guidance and Teacher benefits vary by task. These results demonstrate RSI-Env's support for open-ended exploration and sustained recursive improvement within the studied runs, while highlighting challenges in preserving gains across capabilities.

CacheWeave: Learning to Recompute for Efficient Position-Independent KV Caching

Yueyang Pan, Qianchao Zhu, Yuliang Liu, Teng Ma, Sanidhya Kashyap

原文摘要

Position-independent caching reuses chunk KV caches across positions and requests. Independent encoding, however, omits cross-chunk interactions and can degrade accuracy. In our study, neither PIC training nor rule-based recomputation, alone or combined, consistently recovers full-prefill accuracy. Oracle-guided recomputation on PIC-trained models improves accuracy at the same budget, motivating better selection. We present CacheWeave, which adapts the full backbone to PIC, then freezes it and trains a model-native block selector on the adapted model's oracles. The selector uses compact cached chunk features and question hidden states without extracting backbone attention scores. It selects contiguous token blocks aligned with KV blocks to support efficient recomputation and limit copy-on-write amplification. Its runtime, CacheWeave-Serve, supports private and shared KV caches, keeps selection and recomputation on the GPU, and stages sliding-window KV for hybrid attention models. Across three models and four tasks, CacheWeave outperforms CacheBlend and ProphetKV by 7.2 and 3.5 percentage points on average at a 5% recomputation budget, with a mean relative accuracy loss of 1.6% to full prefill. With 32-token blocks, CacheWeave-Serve cuts single-request TTFT by up to 16.1x over full prefill and 1.7x over ProphetKV, and raises SLO goodput under load by up to 7.8x.

Less but Sufficient: Relation Knowledge Selects Compact Knowledge-Graph Contexts, and What External Checks Can and Cannot Catch

Seunghui Jwa, Minsu Oh, Sangwoo Hong, Yeo Chan Yoon

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) read knowledge-graph facts ranked by relevance, leaving open whether they suffice or conflict. Our checks use relation knowledge, written by hand or learned from training questions labelled with their relation paths. It selects a compact context of facts yielding an answer, and derives it; a derivability check tests whether an answer follows, a consistency check whether facts conflict, and a validation-chosen routing gate decides where the derived answer replaces the LLM's. Seven open LLMs read the compact context better in exact match than relevance-ranked facts; on ComplexWebQuestions (CWQ) they match SubgraphRAG's facts at a quarter of the prompt tokens, and stronger LLMs read SubgraphRAG's better. Where the routing gate passes, ours leads SubgraphRAG's in exact match in all 53 LLM, benchmark and prompt settings. A precision gate, returning the derived answer only when the check passes with exactly one derived entity, answered 18 and 5 percent of held-out WebQSP and CWQ questions in a pre-specified test, right for 90 and 96 percent. The consistency check judges facts by path evidence only where another path joins their entities, true of 2.5 percent of named-entity facts in our compact WebQSP and CWQ contexts.

Robust EEG-based Emotion Recognition from Coarse Trial-level Labels under Intra-trial Affective Variability

Xiaocong Zeng, Buxuan Wang, Xin Yang, Pei Huang, Dongyang Kuang

原文摘要

EEG-based emotion recognition has become an active research area in brain-computer interfaces. However, fine-grained affective annotation is costly, so most datasets provide only a global label for each long EEG trial. For practical emotion recognition, trials are commonly divided into short temporal windows, with the global label propagated to all windows for training. This practice treats trial-level emotion as temporally uniform, although affective responses may fluctuate within a trial. Consequently, windows that weakly reflect or deviate from the global emotional state may receive unreliable labels, posing a key challenge to robust EEG-based emotion recognition. To address this challenge, we propose VARY, a variability-aware robust learning framework for EEG-based emotion recognition from coarse trial-level labels. VARY incorporates a Two-stage Sample Selection (TSS) strategy to identify EEG windows with reliable emotional labels, and introduces MixAug, a data augmentation method tailored for EEG to improve model robustness under limited and unreliable supervision. We comprehensively evaluate VARY under the setting of label-noise learning on two public datasets, using three network architectures and multiple label-noise settings. Our method demonstrates superior performance, achieving a maximum accuracy gain of 11.54% on the DREAMER dataset and 5.39% on the SEED dataset compared with the best-performing baseline, highlighting the effectiveness of VARY in learning from unreliable trial-level labels under intra-trial affective variability.

Deep Learning for Cervical Cytology Screening: Methods, Algorithms, Challenges and Prospects

Jiang Yangbo, Zheng Nenggan

原文摘要

Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer death among women, with more than 90\% of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries, where cytology screening is constrained by a shortage of trained cytopathologists. Deep learning has made automated cytology screening increasingly feasible, but the literature is fragmented across cell, patch and whole-slide-image scales, task formulations and supervision regimes, hindering comparison and clinical translation. This Review synthesizes the deep learning literature for cervical cytology screening, organizing the field along three axes---data scale, functional task and supervision---and distinguishing two clinical roadmaps: whole-slide-image confidence aggregation and cell-level detection with Bethesda classification. We examine 16 publicly available or publicly documented cytology datasets alongside the CAISHI histopathology dataset, compare quantitative performance while exposing incomparable metrics and data leakage, and assess commercial systems, regulatory status, HPV-era screening pathways and low-resource deployment. Single-cell accuracy on Herlev and SIPaKMeD has plateaued, but this reflects benchmark saturation rather than clinical readiness; prospective and randomized evidence is emerging but remains limited. We consolidate the evidence into five challenge areas---data and benchmarks, architecture and label-efficient learning, trustworthy AI, clinical translation and health economics, and evaluation and reproducibility---and provide an evidence-to-agenda map and a deployment decision matrix. Progress now depends on multi-center benchmarks, externally validated label-efficient methods, calibrated and fair predictions, and pragmatic clinical trials rather than further gains on saturated single-cell benchmarks.

ODE Policy: Robot Learning via Action Dynamics, Not Actions

Jindou Jia, Jingliang Li, Kuangji Zuo, Tuo An, Yuxuan Hu, Mengfei Zhao, Bofan Lyu, Jiaqi Bai 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

Most robot policies, whether trained by imitation learning (IL) or reinforcement learning (RL), map observations to action values at discrete control steps and leave the continuity of physical motion to be learned implicitly. We propose ODE policy, which learns the dynamics of the action rather than the action itself. A neural ordinary differential equation (ODE) learns the vector field of the action by matching the integrated actions to the targets over short action chunks in IL and single control steps in RL. A lightweight diversity head captures multi-modal behavior by randomizing the direction of the field. At deployment, each action is integrated from the previous one, so the executed trajectory is continuous by construction. We evaluate it as a visuomotor policy, as the action head of vision-language-action (VLA) and world action models (WAMs), and as the actor of model-based RL against 14 baselines on unimanual, bimanual, dexterous, locomotion, and loco-manipulation tasks. In IL, against flow matching, it reaches 5.9$\times$ the success, 5.4$\times$ the generalization, and 3.9$\times$ the mode balance after one epoch, and generates actions 10.8$\times$ faster. It mostly moves more smoothly than human demonstrations. On 14 real-world tasks across single-arm, dual-arm, dexterous, and humanoid robots, it achieves the highest success rate. In RL, it further speeds up SuperMimic for humanoid motion tracking and smooths its actions. Efficient in learning, data, parameters, and execution, ODE policy offers a promising path to scaling robot learning.

Query Language Sensitivity in Automated Sentiment Scores of LLM Responses

Dmitrij Żatuchin

原文摘要

Automated scores are often used to summarize how large language models describe brands across prompts, providers, and languages. Such scores can vary because the answers differ, because the scoring instrument behaves differently across texts or languages, or for both reasons. We examine this measurement problem in 12,933 responses from a design crossing 20 stored brand labels, eight query languages, three provider aliases, and 15 prompt identifiers. The outcome is the signed winning-class confidence from a multilingual sentiment classifier: neutral winners are coded zero, while positive and negative winners receive signed confidence. A crossed linear mixed model fitted to all responses assigns 26.49% of fitted variance to query language and 1.46% to brand. An exploratory refit after excluding English assigns 5.07% to language and 2.23% to brand. These percentages have different denominators: total fitted variance falls by 65.08%, and absolute brand variance falls by 46.65%. English contains 591 negative classifier scores among 1,620 answers, compared with 77 among 11,313 answers in the other seven languages. The result shows that the original variance decomposition is highly sensitive to English inclusion. It does not identify a causal English effect or establish that English answers are more negative toward the brands. The classifier was trained for tweet sentiment, receives no separate target-brand condition, and English is the only study language represented in its documented sentiment fine-tuning set. Automated score differences should therefore be checked as properties of both the answers and the measurement instrument before they guide substantive conclusions.

Beyond Imputation: Mask-Adaptive Conformal Prediction via Tree Embeddings on General Missing Data Mechanisms

Jiarong Fan, Juhyun Park, Thi Phuong Thuy Vo, Nicolas J-B. Brunel

原文摘要

Conformal prediction (CP) provides a distribution-free framework for uncertainty quantification with finite-sample marginal coverage guarantees. Yet, missing values introduce distributional heterogeneity, where marginal coverage can hide systematic undercoverage for certain missingness patterns. At the same time, existing methods based on distances or smoothness require a continuous representation of partially observed covariates. Although imputation restores continuity, it obscures the missingness patterns and introduces task-dependent overhead. We develop a new CP framework that is \emph{adaptive to missingness patterns}, without imputing covariates. We rely on data augmentation by feature embedding that accounts for missingness. Our framework represents each input with missing values by a tree embedding together with its raw missingness mask, and then learns a regularized quantile score function. Varying the choices for the penalty function and the augmentation enables us to characterize three practically relevant validity levels: exact coordinate-wise validity, exact validity on observed masks, and approximate missingness-conditional guarantees for general mechanisms (MCAR, MAR, MNAR). Experiments on synthetic and real datasets support these guarantees and show that the proposed method reduces miscoverage risk while maintaining informative intervals, especially in non-MCAR settings. These results highlight the practical value of uncertainty quantification that adapts to missingness.

A sensor-driven physics-informed neural network for real-time occupant-centric space heating control

Yunfei Bai, Chenghao Li, Sunku Prasad Jenne, Hao Wang, Sizhe Zhang, Jihong Wang

原文摘要

Conventional space heating systems typically rely on single or sparse fixed-point temperature measurements, overlooking non-uniform indoor temperature distributions, transient thermal dynamics, and occupant-specific comfort requirements. This study explores an occupant-centric control strategy that aims to maintain the desired temperature around the occupant location. Spatially and temporally varying temperature fields, together with occupant mobility, make real-time local temperature estimation challenging. To address this challenge, we propose a control-oriented Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) model for indoor temperature-field prediction. Conventional PINNs rely on explicit time inputs and assume consistent temporal patterns across samples, which limits adaptability under variable initial conditions and heating sequences. The proposed model infers temporal dynamics implicitly from spatial coordinates and limited sensor measurements, improving robustness to changes in initial conditions and external disturbances. The method was validated across nine horizontal sensing planes in three controlled room-scale configurations. Against a validated COMSOL Multiphysics simulation, the PINN predicted the evaluated temperature fields with a maximum relative error below 1.85% across validation cases. These predictions supported an occupant-centric space heating control scheme. Compared with COMSOL-based offline control, the PINN-based system achieved an average prediction error of around 0.67%, and its rapid inference supports real-time occupant-centric control implementation. This work represents a move away from reliance on fixed-point temperature measurements in space heating control to an occupant-centric control strategy informed by real-time environmental feedback.

Mean Field Reinforcement Learning: Theory and Algorithms for Mean Field Control

René Carmona, Mathieu Laurière

原文摘要

This monograph provides an introduction to mean field reinforcement learning through the lens of Markov decision processes arising from large-population stochastic control with mean field interactions and common noise. Starting from the connection between multi-agent reinforcement learning and mean field control, it develops the probabilistic, mathematical, and control-theoretic framework needed to formulate representative-agent learning problems, analyze their relationship with finite-population systems, and study both general and linear-quadratic models. The presentation includes dynamic programming principles, propagation-of-chaos limits, and theoretical analyses of tabular Q-learning and policy-gradient methods. It also discusses numerical implementations, including tabular schemes and deep reinforcement learning methods such as deep deterministic policy gradient. The goal is to give readers a coherent bridge between mean field control theory and reinforcement learning methodology, emphasizing the mathematical structure of the problems and the design of tractable learning approaches for large stochastic populations.
