Operational telemetry can be jointly anomalous while every individual stream stays inside its familiar range. TRACE-C is an auditable strictly-prior rank-calibrated detector for aligned multi-stream telemetry: same-regime rolling median/MAD residuals feed three window channels -- a maximum normalized local sum, a Gaussian copula-form...
Reservoir computing (RC) couples a fixed recurrent dynamical system with a trained lightweight readout, but this efficiency is partly lost during hyperparameter selection: the recurrent gain, input scale, and leakage rate determine the reservoir's stability and temporal processing regime and are usually tuned through many rollouts. We...
Graph neural networks (GNNs) are routinely employed for short-range forecasting on multivariate time series with a spatial graph structure. Despite the availability of many alternative datasets, method innovations within this domain are predominantly assessed against a rather limited set of benchmark datasets, most notably Chickenpox,...
We study \emph{$T$-Robinson spaces}, a tree-based generalization of Robinson spaces in which every path of a compatible tree induces a Robinson subspace. This framework extends the classical notion of Robinsonian representations from linear orderings to tree structures, allowing the modeling of hierarchical and branching data. We...
Inferring continuous system evolution from sparse temporal snapshots is a key challenge in generative modeling and single-cell omics. While Optimal Transport (OT) is popular, existing frameworks are largely restricted to first-order dynamics, assuming memoryless velocity fields. This limits expressiveness, as first-order systems fail...
Short observational pricing panels can contain many observations while offering only a small number of distinct price movements. This paper studies the inferential consequences of that distinction in a synthetic data-generating process calibrated to a sparse pricing regime. We separate uncertainty conditional on a realised price...
As an extension of existing Bayesian persuasion framework with inadequate message mechanism, we study direct recommendation when a sender is bound by an installed information policy only with probability $ρ$, the realization of binding is hidden, and the receiver does not observe the persistent structural environment. The receiver...
Recent omni-modal large language models (Omni-LLMs) show great potential as real-time video assistants, which continuously perceive environments and guide users to achieve specific goals. Unlike traditional passive video understanding, interactive assistants should actively combine visual states, user goals, and prior knowledge to...
Space resource acquisition and utilization, commonly referred to as Space Mining, represent critical pathways for enabling sustained human exploration and unlocking commercial opportunities in space. These resources mainly include helium-3, water, mineral resources on the Moon and Mars, and abundant mineral deposits on asteroids. Due...
In professional life sciences workflows, scientists routinely interpret visual artifacts (gel blots, microscopy images, plasmid maps, flow cytometry plots, molecular structures, ...) to inform research decisions. We introduce VIALS, a visual question-answering benchmark with 161 such interpretation tasks, spanning the types of...
For sixty years, machine verification has been a major cost overhead, affordable only for exceptional artifacts. Here we report that generative AI inverts this relationship: at AI speed, machine verification is not only economical but essential to productivity --- it is the incorruptible referee that lets one person safely direct...
Recent vision-based action models have demonstrated strong capabilities in complex manipulation, but they rarely leverage explicit object physical properties to adapt their policies. We introduce ViTacPhys, a visual-tactile framework and data acquisition system that estimates object mass and friction-coefficient classes, together with...
Calibration requires probabilistic reports to be conditionally unbiased and reliably interpretable as probabilities. A calibration measure assigns numerical error to miscalibrated reports. Haghtalab et al. (2024) proposed an approximately truthful calibration measure for online prediction, leaving open whether exact truthfulness is...
Self-refinement, typically structured as generation, critique, and revision, is a widely adopted paradigm for improving LLM generation and serves as a core mechanism in many LLM agents. While the three stages involve different cognitive demands, most existing approaches conveniently treat the model size as an implementation detail...
Natural-language workflows offer a software-like interface for agents: domain experts can write reusable procedures, and agents can execute them as instructions. This promise is not yet reliable. Workflow descriptions often leave data dependencies implicit, so the executor must infer which prior results a step should use; agents can...
We parametrize the isometry and equivalence classes of skew constacyclic codes over a finite field by classifying the corresponding classes of their ambient rings, and present algorithms for the parametrizations. We achieve a tight classification by taking all possible Hamming-weight preserving isomorphisms between their ambient Petit...
Decision tree-based models are widely used in machine learning due to their interpretability and strong empirical performance. However, training decision trees can be computationally expensive, particularly for large and high-dimensional datasets, largely due to the exhaustive search over candidate splits at each node. To improve...
Classical information criteria such as the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) rely on regularity assumptions that break down for singular models, leading to incorrect model selection in settings such as deep learning. The Widely Applicable Bayesian Information Criterion (WBIC) relies on local learning coefficients $λ$, which in the...
Probability estimation over large alphabets under log loss is a well-studied problem, with celebrated methods such as the Good-Turing estimator. We introduce and study a new Bayesian estimator with four notable properties. First, its construction is exceptionally simple: multiply independent uniform draws from the probability simplex...
A minibatch can influence training beyond the update at which it is observed because AdamW stores past gradient information in its optimizer states. We study this delayed effect through paired trajectories that differ only in one gradient update and share the same subsequent training sequence. We formulate AdamW as a finite-horizon...
Predictive models over structured electronic health records (EHRs) remain central to machine learning for healthcare, but few have jointly emphasized quantitative laboratory information and interpretability with respect to input medical events. We present BERT-LER, a BERT-style model for coded EHR timelines pretrained and fine-tuned...
Mid-training is increasingly recognized as a critical stage for shaping the capabilities of large language models. Recent work has shown that targeted mid-training can strengthen reasoning-intensive abilities such as math and science, and can also improve agentic capabilities in software-engineering settings. In this work, we study...
The capability to perceive and synthesize human-human interactions is fundamental to developing intelligent digital human systems. However, existing datasets and modeling approaches are fundamentally constrained by low-fidelity kinematics, the omission of dexterous hand gestures and a severe lack of rich multimodal annotations....
Egocentric video offers scalable manipulation data for embodied AI, yet recovering metric 3D hand trajectories remains challenging due to severe object occlusion and frequent out-of-sight gaps. Existing single-frame and windowed temporal regressors fail when hand shortly leaves the frame, while recent video diffusion models (VDMs)...
Myocardial scar segmentation from single-stack late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) imaging has been a longstanding and clinically important challenge, particularly in the presence of low tissue contrast, diffuse, and small scar regions. These challenges are further intensified by the limited availability of...
