In natural science applications, federated learning (FL) enables collaborative training of models that approximate solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs) for repeated use in distributed settings. However, the input conditions of FL-PDE training samples involve multiple coupled parameters, making data heterogeneity across clients difficult to analyse. We propose solution-space PDE-Dirichlet, which groups existing solution labels into task-specific bins and distributes samples using the classical Dirichlet allocation rule in FL, providing a common partitioning approach across PDE tasks. Theoretical analysis shows an association between differences in solution-bin composition and gradient disagreement, while experiments on three controlled operators and four public simulation datasets quantify the relationships between this heterogeneity, gradient disagreement and prediction error. Based on this connection, we develop Solution-Bin Controlled Federated Optimization, which uses pooled bin-gradient prototypes to correct the component of client gradients associated with bin composition while preserving the sample-weighted training objective. Experiments on low-viscosity Burgers and Darcy flow show that this correction reduces prediction error compared with federated averaging and narrows the gap from bin-balanced IID training.

Score-based Generative Models (SGMs) have achieved remarkable success in generation tasks by establishing a diffusion process that gradually perturbs real data into Gaussian noise and then learning a reverse process to reconstruct the data from noise. However, conventional denoising methods, such as Langevin dynamics and numerical stochastic differential equation solvers, rely on randomness but suffer from slow generation speeds due to the high number of score function evaluations. To address this, we propose a plug-and-play Markov adaptive momentum sampling method, inspired by the strong connection between the SGMs' sampling process and stochastic gradient descent optimization. Our approach accelerates the transformation process without introducing additional hyperparameters. Theoretically, we establish a rigorous foundation by analyzing the relationship between the distribution of samples generated by our method and the original data distribution. This provides a novel perspective on the analysis of sampling distributions. Empirically, our method demonstrates superior efficiency, generating high-quality images/graphs in significantly fewer sampling steps, achieving a speedup of 2x to 5x while maintaining or surpassing baseline performance on various image and graph generation benchmarks. These results underscore the effectiveness of adaptive momentum in enhancing the efficiency of SGMs.

The meteoric rise in text generation capability has been accompanied by parallel growth in interest in machine-generated text detection: the capability to identify whether a given text was generated using a model or written by a person. While detection models show strong performance, they have the capacity to cause significant negative impacts. We explore potential biases in English machine-generated text detection systems. We curate a dataset of student essays and assess 16 different detection systems for bias across four attributes: gender, race/ethnicity, English-language learner (ELL) status, and economic status. We evaluate these attributes using regression-based models to determine the significance and power of the effects, as well as performing subgroup analysis. We find that while biases are generally inconsistent across systems, there are several key issues: several models tend to classify disadvantaged groups as machine-generated, ELL essays are more likely to be classified as machine-generated, economically disadvantaged students’ essays are less likely to be classified as machine-generated, and non-White ELL essays are disproportionately classified as machine-generated relative to their White counterparts. Finally, we perform human annotation and find that while humans perform generally poorly at the detection task, they show no significant biases on the studied attributes.

This paper notices that while symbolic instruction and neural parameters play different roles on steering LLMs’ behavior, both instructions and parameters are the compression of task data, they are supposed be strongly correlated and can be learned to predict one from the other. Therefore, This paper proposes a novel neural network framework, SHIP (Shuttle between the Instructions and the Parameters), to model and learn the bi-directional mappings between the instructions and the parameters of LLMs. We verify that SHIP can effectively map one of the instructions/parameters to the other by evaluating it on the tasks of instruction deduction and induction. The results show that SHIP performs better than existing baseline methods in terms of deductive capabilities while significantly surpassing them in inductive capabilities. Moreover, SHIP can effectively combine the two mapping processes to perform excellent inductive reasoning. We further discuss how the latent fusing methods and latent dimensions affect SHIP’s performance, and show SHIP can effectively generalize with pre-training.
