Proper Agnostic Learning of Affine Halfspaces under Log-Concave Marginals

Zhijie Zheng

原文摘要

We give a proper constant-factor agnostic learner for affine halfspaces under full-dimensional log-concave marginals. For arbitrary binary labels, the algorithm uses independent labeled samples and returns a single affine halfspace with error at most $C\mathrm{OPT}+\varepsilon$. Its sample and real-arithmetic complexity are polynomial in dimension, inverse accuracy, and the logarithm of the reciprocal failure probability. The mean and covariance of the marginal need not be known, and the sample complexity can be made linear in this logarithmic confidence factor. The main geometric result compares global disagreement with disagreement on a balanced restriction: for a minority halfspace of mass $p$, global disagreement is within universal constant factors of $p$ times conditional disagreement, provided the latter is sufficiently small. To construct the restriction from noisy labels, we estimate the minority cap's mean and covariance robustly, approximately minimize the classical zonoid-depth dual objective, and expand a superlevel set to a marginal quantile. The disagreement comparison cancels the noise amplification caused by conditioning and allows the learned halfspace to be used on the entire space. The analysis combines degree-four sum-of-squares moment bounds for log-concave laws with a translation-based reduction from balanced affine learning to homogeneous halfspace learning.

Do Retrieval Ranking Models Capture Event Order? A Study of Timeline-Constrained Retrieval

Alon Eirew, Lidan Avisar, Kfir Bar, Ido Dagan

原文摘要

Semantic retrieval models aim to match documents to a query's "meaning", yet it remains unclear whether they successfully encode temporal relations between events in their ranking mechanisms. We investigate this question by studying timeline-constrained document retrieval, where a query is an ordered sequence of natural-language event statements while a relevant document should match those events in a compatible temporal progression. We then test whether widely used dense retrievers and neural rerankers capture such constraints, and whether explicitly preserving temporal order improves ranking, using a controlled setting over a novel focused evaluation collection. Experiments show that state-of-the-art semantic retrievers and rerankers provide only limited improvements over lexical retrieval, suggesting that their semantic matching capabilities do not reliably capture temporal constraints. We then compare a timeline-aware method with both semantic matching and standard rerankers and find that it yields substantial improvements. This demonstrates that considering temporal order can provide a strong ranking signal in this setting, suggesting future research on improving temporal modeling in semantic retrievers.

Beyond Fine-Tuning: Evaluating Prompt Engineering and Prompt Tuning for Roman Urdu Hate Speech Detection

Toneema Zubair, Muhammad Junaid Asif, Faisal Kamiran, Hafiz Hassan Saeed, Rana Fayyaz Ahmad

原文摘要

Low Resource Languages (LRLs) pose significant challenges for hate speech detection because of a scarcity of readily available annotated data, language variation, non-standard spelling, and context-dependent ambiguity. Beyond the problem of informal conventions of writing in Roman Urdu, there is also the issue of code-mixing. After working on the previous project about zero-shot learning and parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), this research systematically compares prompt engineering and prompt tuning for Roman Urdu hate speech detection. To study the effect of in-context examples, we will compare the zero-shot and few-shot prompting approaches. To understand the advantage of structured prompting and learnable prompt representations, we will conduct studies of manual vs. mixed prompt-based adaptation strategies. Experimentations are carried out on the PURUT dataset (~72,771 social media comments) with GPT-3.5, LLaMA-3, Mistral-7B, and multilingual BERT in several settings. Experimental results show that few-shot prompting always outperforms zero-shot prompting, with the Mistral-7B model scoring 0.67 F1 compared to 0.56 of the zero-shot models. Based on this observation, prompt-based adaptation is proposed to introduce additional improvements, with the proposed mixed prompt configuration able to yield a F1-score up to 0.87 which further surpasses the performance of regular manual prompts. Despite the larger size of the model, its performance trade-off between inference-based prompting, prompt optimization, and parameter-efficient model adaptation is compared to the previously reported PEFT-based F1-score, which is ~0.93.

Pairwise Distortion Distribution with Graph-Based Importance Sampling for Quantization Error and Intrinsic Dimension Estimation

Xi Chen, Carl Nuzman, Shirin Jalali

原文摘要

Quantifying the dimensionality of data is a fundamental need in machine learning and signal processing applications such as representation learning, data compression, and inverse problems, where the extrinsic dimension in which the data is presented can be very different from the intrinsic dimension that determines the operational performance. Various concepts, such as Rényi information dimension, rate-distortion dimension, and quantization dimension are useful here. Despite their theoretical significance, estimating these measures are challenging given their asymptotic definitions. Recent research has shown that analyzing the pairwise distortion distribution (PDD) of a data source can provide a tractable lower bound on the distortion of random codebook quantization, from which a tractable notion of intrinsic dimension can be derived. In this paper we extend this line of research in three main ways. First, we develop a related upper bound on distortion of random codebook quantization. Second, we improve the computability of both the lower and upper bounds, using a graph-based adaptive importance sampling approach. Third, we leverage the bounds to define new notions of intrinsic dimension which form upper and lower bounds on the Rényi information dimension, rate-distortion dimension, and quantization dimension, and which can be empirically estimated from unknown data sources. We illustrate the concepts by analyzing several artificial and empirical distributions.

DexCanvas: Bridging Human Demonstrations and Robot Learning for Dexterous Manipulation

Xinyue Xu, Jieqiang Sun, Jing, Dai, Siyuan Chen, Lanjie Ma, Ke Sun, Bin Zhao 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

A dexterous hand succeeds or fails through contact, yet every scalable record of human manipulation (video, vision-based hand tracking, motion capture) observes how the hand moves and misses how it pushes. We present DexCanvas, a hybrid real-synthetic dataset of 7,000 hours of dexterous hand-object interaction with per-frame contact points and contact forces, grown from 70 hours of optical motion capture that spans 21 manipulation types, from power and precision grasps to in-hand manipulation. The forces come from a real-to-sim pipeline: one reinforcement learning (RL) policy, conditioned on object geometry and manipulation type, drives an actuated MANO hand in physics simulation to reproduce each captured object trajectory, and the simulator measures the contacts that produce the reproduced motion. The policy reproduces 87.5% of the demonstrations and still succeeds on 80.9% of rollouts from perturbed initial object poses; these perturbed rollouts expand the 70 captured hours a hundredfold. On six YCB objects absent from the capture set it succeeds 72.5% of the time. The contact channels make better policies: a Diffusion Policy that observes DexCanvas contact features succeeds 82.2% of the time, against 67.5% without them, over 18,522 trials. Contact-driven retargeting carries the same demonstrations to two dexterous robot hands, where the RL stage again produces stable rollouts. A first release of 111,857 force-annotated trajectories is publicly available on Hugging Face.

Patching the Protocol: A Taxonomy of Pre-Registration Repairs in LLM-Proposer Experiments

Peter Chen, Ni Zhang, Siyuan Zhang

原文摘要

Pre-registration is increasingly proposed as a trust mechanism for machine-learning research involving LLM-generated content, but its canonical form assumes a frozen protocol can be executed unchanged. Software-intensive studies violate this assumption: the protocol is partly implemented, and implementations carry defects. We report a three-case study of protocol repairs ("patches") from a program where an LLM proposes executable rules that a programmatic verifier gates, across production scheduling, incentive design, and task assignment. Each protocol required exactly one defect-repair patch: three events in total. None modified a numbered judgment criterion, its threshold, or the scoring rule, and none altered already collected data; two changed pre-registered design parameters before any data were collected, each with a recorded rationale. We propose a two-axis taxonomy of patches (defect class: environmental / feasibility / correctness, x timing: pre-data / post-data), introduce a verifiable non-impact claim for post-data repairs, and distill a nine-item checklist; all nine items were exercised by at least one patch event -- an observation of use, not a validation of sufficiency. The credibility of verifier-bound, LLM-proposer studies depends less on whether patches occur than on whether they are auditable.

Semantic Self-Consistency: Enhancing Language Model Reasoning via Semantic Weighting

Tim Knappe, Ryan Li, Ayush Chauhan, Kaylee Chhua, Kevin Zhu, Sean O'Brien

原文摘要

While large language models (LLMs) have rapidly improved their performance on a broad number of tasks, they still often fall short on reasoning tasks. As LLMs become more integrated in diverse real-world tasks, advancing their reasoning capabilities is crucial to their effectiveness in nuanced, complex problems. Wang et al.'s self-consistency framework reveals that sampling multiple rationales before taking a majority vote reliably improves model performance across various closed-answer reasoning tasks. Standard methods based on this framework aggregate the final decisions of these rationales but fail to utilize the semantic information detailed in the step-by-step reasoning paths. Our work introduces semantic self-consistency, enhancing this approach by incorporating and analyzing both the reasoning paths of these rationales in addition to their final decisions before taking a majority vote. These methods not only improve the reliability of reasoning paths but also cause more robust performance on complex reasoning tasks.

Mitigating Spatial Blindness in Multiple Instance Learning for Whole-Slide Image Analysis

Xiangyu Li, Jincheng Li, Xing Xie, Bin Guan, Shaohua Kevin Zhou, Rui Yan, Ran Su

原文摘要

Whole-slide multiple instance learning can predict diagnostic and prognostic labels from tissue composition while making limited use of spatial organization. Providing coordinates or a graph does not establish that a trained predictor uses tissue neighborhoods. We examine this gap as spatial blindness and hypothesize that early composition learning can weaken supervision of a spatial pathway. We introduce ResTopoMIL, which freezes a learned composition predictor before training a graph residual with a coordinate-reassignment separation loss. Permutation and information analyses distinguish architectural symmetry, available spatial information and the proposed optimization mechanism. On a controlled spatial task, staged training achieved an AUC of 0.987, compared with 0.684 for the same jointly trained architecture. Performance remained high on a composition-only task. Across four WSI classification and five survival benchmarks, ResTopoMIL improved mean primary performance on eight tasks; four improvements remained significant after Holm-adjusted patient-cluster tests. Coordinate-free residual controls recovered some of the gains, while neighborhood destruction reduced performance close to the composition anchor. Neighborhood-preserving transformations and anatomy-stratified perturbations further characterized this dependence. These results support fixing a composition reference as a practical intervention for learning spatial corrections, while retaining additional appearance capacity as a contributing explanation.

Unified Loss-Aware Density Control for 3D Gaussian Splatting

Tae-Young Kim, Jiwoo Chung, Jae-Pil Heo

原文摘要

The efficiency and fidelity of 3D Gaussian Splatting critically depend on adaptive density control, which grows and suppresses Gaussian primitives throughout optimization. However, the standard pipeline still relies on heuristic view-space gradients, scale thresholds, and global opacity resets, rather than explicitly assessing the loss-reducing effect of each split, clone, or opacity update. This mismatch can allocate primitives to already-sufficient regions, miss under-reconstructed structures, and destabilize training through blanket opacity changes. In this work, we recast adaptive density control as a collection of local loss-reduction decisions. We derive efficient Taylor-based per-Gaussian surrogates that predict the objective change caused by three primitive-level operations: splitting, cloning, and opacity decay. This yields a unified loss-aware framework with three components. First, we extend second-order splitting to a normalized joint position-scale space, enabling children to adapt not only their locations but also their anisotropic extents. Second, we formulate duplicate cloning as a surrogate minimization problem, selecting only Gaussians whose duplicated contribution is predicted to improve reconstruction and assigning each child a principled opacity. Third, we replace global opacity reset with selective soft opacity decay that weakens harmful primitives while preserving useful ones. Across standard 3DGS benchmarks, our method produces more targeted primitive allocation and achieves improved rendering quality with comparable or smaller Gaussian budgets compared to baselines.

TPO: Tri-level Distributionally Robust Learning for OOD Direct Preference Optimization

Chengtao Jian, Kai Yang

原文摘要

Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) minimizes empirical risk over observed preference comparisons, implicitly assuming that the training preference distribution matches the deployment preference distribution. In practice, this distributional assumption often fails, as preference distribution shifts can arise at three levels: group-level shift, prompt-level shift, and preference-level shift. Such multi-level distributional mismatch poses a critical challenge for safe LLM deployment, yet existing robust DPO methods typically either model uncertainty over the joint preference distribution or focus on individual sources of shift, leaving the hierarchical structure of OOD preference shifts underexplored. We propose TPO, a tri-level distributionally robust framework for OOD preference alignment, which jointly models all three levels of distributional uncertainty through a hierarchically structured rectangular ambiguity set. By instantiating it with Wasserstein distance, we derive a tractable and interpretable objective that combines a preference-level margin penalty, prompt-level adversarial embedding perturbation, and worst-case group reweighting, each governed by an independent radius. We establish finite-sample convergence guarantees and empirically validate the effectiveness of TPO across diverse OOD environments.

RAIPAL: A Powerful and Agile Humanoid Arm for Human Tasks

Donggeon Kim, Hyungho Chris Choi, Donghyuk Choi, Jeongsoo Park, Choongin Lee, Chan Park, Jemin Hwangbo

原文摘要

This paper presents humanoid manipulator hardware designed specifically for human-level performance throughout its broad domain of tasks, from heavy payloads to highly dynamic motions. Unlike conventional designs targeting uniform workspace capability, the proposed approach derives force, speed, and endurance targets from published measurements of task-relevant human upper-limb performance. These targets guide the actuator, mechanism, and thermal design toward torque transparency and sustained operation. The platform integrates force-oriented upper-arm components, speed-oriented forearm components, and a posture-dependent elbow mechanism that shifts its torque-speed behavior. These components are driven by planetary actuators and compact actuator-embedded electronics. Experimental results validate broad task capability, demonstrating a peak payload of 20 kg (2.25x its own mass), an endpoint speed of 20.6 m/s, and continued operation under repeated hammering impacts. Thermal analysis further confirms that the robot's sustained operation capability exceeds the published human load--duration boundary across nearly the entire load spectrum. These findings show that hardware targets derived from human-task measurements narrow the human-to-humanoid capability gap. A supplementary video is available at https://youtu.be/xVUWFICD5G0

TabPFN-3: Technical Report

Léo Grinsztajn, Klemens Flöge, Oscar Key, Felix Birkel, Philipp Jund, Brendan Roof, Mihir Manium, Shi Bin Hoo 等 41 位作者

原文摘要

Tabular data underpins most high-value prediction problems in science and industry, and TabPFN has driven the foundation model revolution for this modality. Designed with feedback from our users, TabPFN-3 builds on this foundation to scale state-of-the-art performance to datasets with 1M training rows and substantially reduce training and inference time. Pretrained exclusively on synthetic data from our prior, TabPFN-3 dramatically pushes the frontier of tabular prediction and brings substantial gains on time series, relational, and tabular-text data. On the standard tabular benchmark TabArena, a forward pass of TabPFN-3 outperforms all other models, including tuned and ensembled baselines, by a significant margin, and pareto-dominates the speed/performance frontier. On more diverse datasets, TabPFN-3 ranks first on datasets with many classes, and beats 8-hour-tuned gradient-boosted-tree baselines on datasets up to 1M training rows and 200 features. TabPFN-3 introduces test-time compute scaling to tabular foundation models. Our API offering TabPFN-3-Plus (Thinking) exploits this to beat all non-TabPFN models by over 200 Elo on TabArena, rising to 420 Elo on the largest data subset, and outperforms AutoGluon 1.5 extreme while being 10x faster, without using LLMs, real data, internet search or any other model besides TabPFN. TabPFN-3 extends the capabilities of our models, enabling SOTA prediction on relational data (new SOTA foundation model on RelBenchV1) and tabular-text data (SOTA on TabSTAR via TabPFN-3-Plus); and improves existing integrations: a specialized checkpoint, TabPFN-TS-3, ranks 2nd on the time-series benchmark fev-bench, and SHAP-value computation is up to 120x faster. TabPFN-3 achieves this performance while being up to 20x faster than TabPFN-2.5. In addition, a reduced KV cache and row-chunking scale to 1M rows on one H100 with fast inference speed.

CORA: Teacher-Guided Causal O-RAN Adaptation for Jamming Detection

Sneihil Gopal, Richard A. Rouil

原文摘要

In mission-critical networks, a missed jamming event is costlier than a false alarm, so detectors should favor recall, operate causally, and work without labeled attack data. Retrospective Key Performance Indicator (KPI) detectors meet the label-free requirement but rely on future context and cannot run in streaming operation. We present CORA, a teacher-guided reinforcement learning (RL) framework that transfers the hindsight of a retrospective detector to a causal one without labels during training or deployment. Offline, a retrospective KPI detector evaluated on unlabeled historical logs defines a recall-weighted reward for a masked controller that adapts the sensitivity, persistence, and grace of a causal KPI detector. At deployment, the teacher is removed and the frozen controller acts causally, with no ground-truth labels and no target-specific calibration. The design maps onto offline training in the Non-Real-Time RIC and causal control in the Near-Real-Time RIC of an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN). Under leave-one-out transfer across ten 5G O-RAN testbed configurations, CORA reaches recall-oriented operating points on the deployable frontier that none of the evaluated baselines covers. A Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) controller raises mean recall from 0.687 to 0.771 over a fixed default detector on all ten configurations, while a Deep Q-Network (DQN) achieves a comparable F2-score to the best teacher-selected static configuration, with 61% fewer false alarms. Removing the teacher lowers recall on every configuration.

Calibration-Constrained Diagnostics for Evaluating LLM Self-Evaluation

Jae Oh Woo, Mengdie Flora Wang, Rahul Ghosh, Baishali Chaudhury, Mun Young Kim

原文摘要

We introduce a reusable evaluation artifact for diagnosing whether LLM self-reported confidence can support confidence-gated act-or-defer decisions. The artifact is designed for evaluation rather than safety certification: it provides a black-box protocol, prompts, judge-reference labels, model outputs, reproduction scripts, and calibration-constrained diagnostic metrics for auditing LLM self-evaluation across math, factual, and commonsense reasoning tasks. Our central finding is that aggregate uncertainty summaries can produce deployment-misleading rankings: a model that appears strongest under standard aggregate calibration metrics can fail under category-level calibration constraints, while a model with worse aggregate calibration can exhibit stronger calibration-constrained behavior in the positive-margin region where high self-selection accuracy and tight calibration coexist. To expose this failure mode, we define PVC and C-PVC as category-level diagnostics over an accuracy-by-calibration surface: PVC counts categories whose self-evaluation accuracy exceeds a threshold, while C-PVC additionally requires category-level calibration error below a tolerance. We aggregate these diagnostics using Volume Under Surface (VUS) and a positive-margin restriction; they are VC/fat-shattering motivated but are empirical evaluation proxies, not literal VC-dimension estimates. Across 13 models and four benchmarks, the artifact shows weak confidence-correctness separation, stable diagnostic rankings under alternative categorizations and judge-label perturbations, and persistent positive-margin failures not captured by ECE or Brier score. Confidence-gated self-evaluation therefore requires calibration-constrained, category-level diagnostics, and we provide a reusable artifact for applying them under black-box access.

Anchor: Augmented Cross-Layer Recurrent State for Long-Context Retrieval in Test-Time Training

Vimal William, Yuanzhe Li, Danella Zhao, Huanrui Yang

原文摘要

Parameter-efficient linearization turns a pretrained autoregressive Transformer into an efficient model by hybridizing sliding-window attention (SWA) with a constant-size recurrent memory. But does every layer's recurrent state contribute to long-context retrieval? Investigating an SWA and Test-Time Training (TTT) hybrid, we find that retrieval is sparse across depth, concentrated in a few anchor layers, and that the remaining states hold similar information expressed through layer-specific transformations. We exploit both observations in Anchor: TTT memory placed only at the anchor layers, and a cross-layer recurrent state written once and read by many layers, each through its own learned read map that realizes a layer-specific stretch and rotation, along with demonstrated generalization to other hybrid attentions. On Llama-3.1-8B and Mistral-7B, Anchor delivers 2.3-3.1x higher recall and 6.7-8.9 points higher MMLU accuracy than LoLCATs with a 10x smaller recurrent state, retains 91-95% of the teacher's MMLU accuracy, and cuts end-to-end latency by up to 4.3x relative to softmax attention.

Which Deep Learner? A Systematic Evaluation of Advanced Deep Forecasting Models Accuracy and Efficiency for Network Traffic Prediction

Eilaf M. A. Babai, Aalaa M. A. Babai, Koji Okamura

原文摘要

Network traffic prediction is an essential tool for automating modern network management. It is a difficult time series forecasting (TSF) problem that has been addressed by Deep Learning (DL) models due to their ability to capture complex patterns. Recent years have witnessed advances in deep forecasting models, from sophisticated transformer architectures to simple linear models, improving performance across diverse prediction tasks. However, given the diversity of these models, the variability of network traffic across environments and timescales, and the inherent challenges of network traffic prediction, it is essential to identify effective deployment choices and modeling directions. Henceforth, this study systematically identifies 12 deep forecasting models, comprising 8 advanced TSF models and 4 traditional deep learning architectures -- each with unique advantages for network traffic prediction -- against 3 statistical baselines, for a total of 15 forecasting methods and evaluate them on four real traffic datasets, across multiple time scales and horizons, assessing performance, robustness to anomalies, data gaps, external factors, data efficiency, and resource efficiency in terms of time, memory, and energy. Our results provide insights into model behaviour and guidelines for network management, highlighting performance regimes, efficiency thresholds, and promising architectures that balance accuracy, efficiency, and robustness to traffic challenges.

Computing Invariant Reachable Sets through Sum-of-Squares Programming

Mohamed Khalid M Jaffar

原文摘要

Funnels, time-varying invariant sets around nominal trajectories, certify that a closed-loop system tracks its plan, and can be composed into verified motion plans. Their computation by sum-of-squares (SOS) programming is well established in formulation but not in practice: the result depends on implementation choices such as the initial guess, Lyapunov function normalization, and termination rule, which the literature documents only briefly. This paper presents a self-contained treatment of SOS-based funnel computation, implemented in the open-source package computeSOSFunnels. We propose a minimum-volume formulation with inlet and outlet constraints under which funnels with coinciding nominal endpoints compose by construction. Numerical experiments on a unicycle, with timing studies on a cart-pole and a 12-state quadrotor, characterize the pipeline: infeasible initial guesses are partly decidable before solving, the certificate shows no violations among 39,000 boundary samples per funnel under the true dynamics, and constructing the semidefinite program, not solving it, dominates computation time.

AegisVox: Factorized Privacy and Clinical Preservation for Long-Form Speech

Praphul Singh, Akshat Agarwal, Ratul Ghosh, Aashna Kanuga, Devashish Khatwani, Anurag Dwarakanath, Sri Gadde, Krishnaram Kenthapadi

原文摘要

Clinical speech reveals identity through both spoken identifiers and voice, yet its pauses, delivery, and speaker roles can also carry useful clinical evidence. Protecting that speech therefore requires more than preserving its words. We present AegisVox, a factorized framework that assigns consistent surrogate voices and edits identifier-bearing turns using document-consistent replacements. Across 390 public simulated or non-patient conversations totaling 63.6 hours, a matched comparison of two speech renderers separates replacement realization from retained identifiers, speaker linkage, and clinical preservation. Text-to-speech rendering realizes 535/601 planned replacements versus 453/601 for the codec-based speech editor. However, similar aggregate clinical preservation conceals more model-labeled contradictions, and conversation-wide speaker scores conceal greater edited-speech linkage under a score-direction sensitivity analysis. Fresh transcription of original audio provides a reference for interpreting the clinical measurement chain; an independent judge tests sensitivity to model-based assessment. Better replacement realization can therefore coexist with worse clinical or speaker-linkage measurements. AegisVox supports use-specific evaluation of those tradeoffs, not a guarantee of identifier removal or clinical safety.

FP4Quant: Efficient 4-Bit Communication Compression for Model-Parallel LLM Training

Man Liu, Xingchen Liu, Hairui Zhao, Guangming Tan, Dingwen Tao

原文摘要

The rapid scaling of large language models (LLMs) has made communication overhead a critical bottleneck in distributed model-parallel training. Although existing low-precision compression methods can effectively reduce communication costs, further reducing the communication footprint to ultra-low-bit formats such as FP4 introduces new challenges, including limited numerical range, sub-byte storage overhead, and increased computational cost from fine-grained quantization. In this paper, we present \textbf{FP4Quant}, a micro-grouped FP4 compression framework for efficient model-parallel LLM training. FP4Quant integrates a micro-grouped dual-scale FP4 quantization mechanism to preserve local tensor distribution characteristics, a warp-cooperative FP4 packing scheme to enable efficient sub-byte data representation, and a hybrid two-level FWHT pipeline to mitigate quantization errors with GPU-aware execution optimization. Experiments on NVIDIA H100 GPUs with Qwen-7B demonstrate up to 1.56$\times$ end-to-end throughput improvement over BF16, revealing a trade-off between throughput and model quality.

Robust Learning under Non-Gaussian Noise with Adaptive Log-Correntropy Loss

Mainak Kundu, Ria Kanjilal, Ismail Uysal

原文摘要

Robust deep learning under heavy-tailed and impulsive noise remains challenging because conventional losses such as mean squared error (MSE) exhibit unbounded sensitivity to outliers. Although correntropy-based objectives improve robustness, many conventional formulations rely on fixed kernel parameters that must be empirically tuned and remain static during training. To address these limitations, we propose an Adaptive Log-Correntropy Loss (ALCL), a heavy-tailed loss formulation that adaptively learns its robustness geometry during optimization. ALCL introduces a logarithmic residual model whose shape and scale parameters are learned jointly with network weights through differentiable reparameterization. This yields a heavy-tailed robust optimization objective whose psi-function is formally bounded and redescending, allowing the loss geometry to adapt dynamically to evolving residual statistics while suppressing extreme outliers. Comparative experiments on four widely used benchmark datasets spanning grayscale and red-green-blue (RGB) image data under mixed heavy-tailed and impulsive noise demonstrate that ALCL consistently outperforms MSE and optimally tuned generalized correntropy losses in both reconstruction fidelity and downstream classification accuracy. While performance differences remain small under low-noise conditions, under high-noise regimes ALCL improves median accuracy by up to 4.75% on grayscale benchmarks and 4.51% on RGB datasets, with reduced variance across runs. These results demonstrate that adaptive robustness through joint learning of loss parameters provides a computationally efficient alternative to static correntropy-based losses for deep learning in non-Gaussian environments.

ATC: Agent Trajectory Control for Role-Contract Enforcement in Black-Box Multi-Agent Systems

Maisha Maliha, Vishal Pramanik, Sumit Kumar Jha

原文摘要

Multi-agent LLM systems assign different responsibilities to different agents: one plans, another retrieves evidence, another verifies, another executes. This division of labor is only meaningful if each agent stays within the functions it is authorized to perform. Over many turns, however, an agent can produce a locally reasonable message that exercises authority belonging to another role: a verifier that begins planning, a retriever that asserts unsupported conclusions, an executor that changes state no one approved. We formalize this as role drift, a turn-level breach of an agent's role contract. We introduce Agent Trajectory Control (ATC), which makes each role's authority explicit as a contract and enforces it at the point where a message would enter the shared conversation. ATC scores a proposed output for out-of-role deviation, leakage into the functions of other roles, impermissible speech acts, and logical contract breaches, then computes a leakage-regularized target that constrains regeneration; the revised message is re-checked before admission. Enforcement acts on the message rather than the generator, so ATC governs agents whose internal representations are unavailable. Across homogeneous and heterogeneous teams, ATC improves task performance and role consistency while lowering role-drift energy relative to strong baselines spanning prompting, memory, workflow control, and activation editing, with the largest gains under explicit role-confusion stress tests and in larger, more diverse teams.

Planning-Coding Separation in LLM-Based Code Generation: An Empirical Study

Wentao Wang, Zeyu Sun, Ruwei Pan, Yueyi Xiao, Qingyuan Liang, Lu Zhang

原文摘要

Planning has been identified as an important factor for improved code generation with Large Language Models (LLMs). However, the interaction between planning capability and coding capability remains largely underexplored, especially when the two capabilities are from different LLMs. In this paper, we conduct the first comprehensive empirical study of planning-coding interaction in LLM-based code generation, where planning and coding are assigned to different LLMs (i.e., planning-coding separation). Specifically, we explore different planner-coder combinations to investigate the effectiveness for coders to utilize planning information from various planners and the impact of further training of coders on planner-coder combinations. Our results demonstrate that almost all planner-coder combinations are as competitive as using the same LLM for planning and coding, and the combination of a stronger planner and a stronger coder typically achieves improved effectiveness. Furthermore, using a large model as the planner paired with a much smaller model as the coder can sometimes be as competitive as using the large model as both the planner and the coder, and further training of the coder can typically boost various planner-coder combinations. These findings provide empirical evidence that planning and coding can be separated to a considerable extent in LLM-based code generation, which may offer a more flexible way to construct code-generation systems.

GSAR: Goal-State-Anchor Rewards for Mobile GUI Agents with Self-Evolving Data Synthesis

Long Zhang, Yuhan Chen, Chaoran Zhang, Wanxia Cao, Kun Huang, Pengzhi Gao, Wei Liu, Jian Luan 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) based GUI agents stand to benefit significantly from online reinforcement learning (RL). However, their training is bottlenecked by two fundamental issues: current data synthesis methods for GUI Agents rely on specific environments and struggle to generate diverse data, while existing evaluators either suffer from limited scalability or provide inaccurate and unreliable reward signals. To overcome these challenges, we introduce GSAR (Goal-State-Anchor Reward), a RL reward framework that supports scalable task generation and delivers reliable reward signals for stable and efficient policy optimization. Our approach features self-evolving data synthesis, which produces multiple environments through task execution and generates diverse tasks and goal states. Complementing this, a state-anchor mechanism automatically annotates task-relevant UI elements in successful goal states as reference anchors. During RL training, these reference anchors provide accurate, scalable reward signals that substantially enhance efficiency. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that our framework achieves over 90% accuracy on offline trajectory verification and performs closest to rule-based methods. Furthermore, agents trained using our reward framework exhibit strong performance on both AndroidWorld and our constructed benchmark, establishing a scalable approach for GUI agent training.

SpellerSSL: Self-Supervised Learning with P300 Aggregation for Speller BCIs

Jiazhen Hong, Geoff Mackellar, Soheila Ghane

原文摘要

Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based P300 speller brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) face three main challenges: low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), poor generalization, and time-consuming calibration. We propose SpellerSSL, a framework that combines self-supervised learning (SSL) with P300 aggregation to address these issues. First, we introduce an aggregation strategy to enhance SNR. Second, to achieve generalization in training, we employ a customized 1D U-Net backbone and pre-train the model on both cross-domain and in-domain EEG data. The pretrained model is subsequently fine-tuned with a lightweight ERP-Head classifier for P300 detection, which adapts the learned representations to subject-specific data. Our evaluations on calibration time demonstrate that combining the aggregation strategy with SSL significantly reduces the calibration burden per subject and improves robustness across subjects. Experimental results show that SSL learns effective EEG representations in both in-domain and cross-domain, with in-domain achieving a state-of-the-art character recognition rate of 94% with only 7 repetitions and the highest information transfer rate (ITR) of 21.86 bits/min on the public II-B dataset. Moreover, in-domain SSL with P300 aggregation reduces the required calibration size by 60% while maintaining a comparable character recognition rate. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to apply SSL to P300 spellers, highlighting its potential to improve both efficiency and generalization in speller BCIs and paving the way toward an EEG foundation model for P300 speller BCIs. The code is available at: https://github.com/Emotiv/SpellerSSL-NeurIPS2025

Text-to-SQL Models Make Choices Without Saying So

Yichen Xu, Shipei Lin, Chenhao Ma

原文摘要

A text-to-SQL answer can run, return a plausible number and still compute something other than what the analyst meant. This can happen when the request leaves a calculation choice open, such as whether to count rows or distinct entities, and the model settles it without saying so. Standard benchmarks cannot detect this, because they score each question against a single reference interpretation. We introduce SpecBridge, which tests such a choice by varying it alone: it poses three otherwise identical requests, one leaving the choice open and one per interpretation, and scores each answer by running it. The databases are real, and the choices are ones that made models fail on existing benchmarks. On 204 hand-validated tests, four language models usually compute each interpretation when asked for it, yet for the open request return both in only 15-58% of the tests where they can, often without mentioning the choice. The gap lies in reporting, not in computing. Benchmarks even penalize the alternative: on BIRD questions where such a choice changes the answer, over two in five of the answers marked wrong are right under the other interpretation. Because the gap lies in reporting, a system can narrow it without a stronger model: it first decides whether a request leaves a choice open, then answers each interpretation in its own call. On our tests and on AMBROSIA, an existing benchmark of ambiguous questions, this approach raises the share of open requests that get every interpretation by 29-63 points over the single answer that production assistants give, without lowering precision on clear requests. It also needs fewer user turns than asking a clarifying question.

SteelHuman: Predicting Operator Estimates of Steel-Scrap Composition from Sparse RGB Views

Jovan Kamchev, Zoran Ivanovski

原文摘要

Steel scrap composition estimation is an important part of yield planning and fair supplier compensation. Measuring the composition of a multi-ton pile is an inherently laborious process, so the assessment is often left to trained human operators. Recent works tackle composition-level tasks, but require structured acquisition and multi-stage preprocessing. We study a simpler approach to steel scrap load assessment by aggregating features from sparse, handheld views of the pile. On 600 out-of-fold piles, frozen DINOv2 tokens aggregated uniformly across views reach 13.4% total variation (TV) distance against operator estimates. Most remaining error lies in allocation among four thickness-defined heavy melting scrap (HMS) classes, yet image-dependent allocation reduces within-HMS TV from 25.1% under a training-set split prior to 11.2%. Due to the lack of public datasets and benchmarks for predicting composition, external evaluation relies on the public DOES dataset intended for classification. A classifier using the same frozen features reaches 93.97% accuracy, exceeding the published results we compare against. The composition model also aligns with related DOES categories without adaptation.

Not Every Rollout Needs Distillation: Correctness-Filtered On-Policy Self-Distillation

Harrison Zhao, Lei Huang, Zhiyuan Zhao, Fei Liu, Wen Shi, Zijian Jin

原文摘要

On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) supervises student-generated trajectories with a reference-conditioned version of the same base model. We ask whether every trajectory supplies distinct supervision that warrants its distillation cost. Gradient measurements on Qwen3-1.7B at initialization reveal that correct and incorrect responses have similar individual gradient magnitudes, but incorrect responses have approximately three times the coherent gradient share. Their estimated population-mean directions also largely overlap. A signal--noise model fitted at a small group size tracks alignment at larger group sizes without refitting. Motivated by these measurements, we introduce correctness-filtered OPSD (C-OPSD), which generates one response per problem and distills only a subset of incorrect responses. Removing unselected rows before both distillation forwards avoids their teacher/student forward and student backward work. Across Qwen3-1.7B, 4B, and 8B on AIME24, AIME25, and HMMT25, C-OPSD achieves on-par performance with full OPSD. In a measured micro-batch-size-four implementation, executed rows decrease by approximately 68%, and with retained rows packed into full micro-batches, training takes about 40% less time while rollout generation remains unchanged. Together, the measurements and training results connect outcome-conditioned supervision redundancy to more compute-efficient distillation.

Drift No More: Spectral Locking for Long-Horizon Open-Weight Multi-Agent AI

Vishal Pramanik, Maisha Maliha, Susmit Jha, Sumit Kumar Jha

原文摘要

Long-horizon multi-agent systems suffer from three tightly coupled failures: task drift, role drift, and state staleness. We test the hypothesis that these share a common representational cause: agent hidden states move away from the directions encoding the active task, assigned role, and current shared state. A pilot study over 14,832 annotated turns supports this: drifted turns collapse near-uniformly across all three anchor subspaces (pairwise r = 0.72-0.78). Existing methods address these failures separately, operating at the surface-text level or treating control directions independently. We introduce ATLAS (Algebraic Task-role Locking with Adaptive Spectral Memory), a training-free intervention acting on hidden states before a token is generated. ATLAS builds a positive-semidefinite anchor kernel over task, role, and state subspaces and steers hidden states toward their shared high-coherence eigendirections; a low-rank Gram decomposition keeps this tractable. Across long-horizon memory, state maintenance, tool use, least-privilege coordination, and embodied stress tests, ATLAS outperforms prompting, retrieval, memory, and activation-steering baselines. Against A-MEM it improves memory macro-average accuracy by up to 5.7 points and reduces write/read failures by up to 31.7%/24.8%; against MemoryArena-Agent it gains up to 4.8 points. It gains 10.7-12.1 points under perturbation, reaches 93.5% role consistency, and transfers to a 72B backbone (macro-average 61.0 vs. 56.2). Ablating the joint task-role-state span costs 7.2 points against 0.8 for a matched-rank random span, indicating these directions are functionally implicated, not incidental; supplying them by prompt or retrieval recovers 4.3 points less. ATLAS is therefore a representation-level controller for open-weight multi-agent systems, complementary to output-level protocols for black-box agents.

Coarse Semantic Blocks for Efficient Training-Free Sparse Attention

Sosuke Kobayashi, Shoichiro Yamaguchi, Seiya Tokui

原文摘要

We introduce a training-free sparse attention method that builds a prompt-specific key index to accelerate both prefill and decoding. The method clusters the keys into large semantic blocks that group tokens from noncontiguous positions. Each query position selects blocks by scoring their centroids and attends to the original keys and values within them. Queries that select the same block are processed together, so prefill stays fast even though each query chooses its own blocks. Large blocks make centroid scoring and this grouped processing cheap, so each query can attend to more tokens in the same time. Larger blocks with a larger token budget can thus be both faster and more accurate on long-context tasks than smaller blocks with a smaller budget. We evaluate two hybrid LLMs, Qwen3.5-4B and 35B-A3B, on one NVIDIA H200. Including the cost of building and using the index, whole-model wall-clock speedups over dense attention are 2.3-2.4x for prefill and 1.7-2.0x for decoding at 512K tokens, and 2.9-3.0x for prefill at 1M. The 35B-A3B model stays close to dense attention on five RULER tasks through 1M, on LongBench-v2 overall, and on MRCR through 256K. The 4B model loses accuracy mainly on multi-key retrieval, yet outperforms dense Qwen3.5-2B, whose latency is similar at 512K, on all three benchmarks.

See, Foresee, Act: Intent-Aware World Modeling for Proactive Retail Assistance

Honghui Zhang, Anna Min, Chenmeinian Guo, Yujia Zhang, Zezhou Zhang, Yichen Yu, Guanyu Liu, Yongming Qin 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

World models allow agents to anticipate action consequences, but proactive assistance also requires interpreting incomplete observations and deciding whether to intervene before a user asks for help. We propose See-Foresee-Act and instantiate it as the Proactive Intent World Model (PIWM) for retail assistance. See preserves role-relevant observable evidence alongside AIDA-BDI customer states; Foresee predicts one-step consequences for candidate actions; Act explicitly compares those consequences, including non-intervention. GuidanceSalesBench supplies predominantly synthetic supervision linking observations, states, candidate outcomes, and decisions. On 509 Full test examples, consequence-based selection achieves 63.65% decision accuracy, compared with 45.38% for direct decision output, an improvement of 18.27 percentage points. These results support candidate-consequence comparison for decision reasoning in this retail task. Code and data will be released after consent verification and upon publication.
