How can a shared resource be allocated without money when agents have private, stochastic demands that can be queued for a while, and may behave strategically, or even adversarially? We introduce a…
Existing Multi-token prediction (MTP) methods are auxiliary by design: the multi-horizon loss mostly trains modules attached to the backbone, and each added horizon costs another module and another…
High-quality image editing requires precise modification of target regions while preserving the content of unrelated regions. Existing editing models produce flattened outputs that limit precise…
We introduce Muse Glimmer, an open-source 30B parameter causal language model with perception encoder, purpose-built for autonomous agentic tasks on consumer hardware. Muse Glimmer integrates…
Effective test-time personalization requires LLM agents to adapt to query-dependent user preferences from lightweight interaction. We study persona selection with binary comparisons between candidate…
While LLM-based agent systems have demonstrated remarkable proficiency in reasoning and solving complex real-world tasks, they also come with substantial token consumption and inference latency,…
We provide new statistical insights into designing stochastic optimization methods. By modeling the gradient via a normal distribution, we argue that the stochastic gradient should be whitened using…
Bayesian optimization (BO) is widely used for expensive black-box optimization, yet observation noise makes each evaluation less informative and slows posterior learning. Standard BO learns from…
Traditional weight of evidence assigns a credit characteristic a value based on its association with default across a population. Credit analysis also requires an assessment of that characteristic in…
We study differentially private black-box evaluation of arbitrary high-dimensional functions. Given a dataset $S$ and query access to a function $f$---whose sensitivity may be unknown or…
We consider the metric distortion framework for voting, where $n$ voters and $m$ candidates are embedded in an unknown metric space. A voting rule selects a candidate using only voters' ordinal…
We ask how much an autoregressive transformer retains of its prompt after generating t tokens. Consider two different prompts followed by the same continuation text, so that any difference in their…
Blockchain forensics is adversarial and open-ended: money launderers split, swap, and bridge funds, cut their trail at mixers or custodial services, and change tactics from one incident to the next.…
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have shown strong promise for generalist robotic manipulation, but their inference cost remains a major bottleneck for real-time control. This limitation is…
Safety in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) depends on unsafe multimodal data for post-training alignment or activation steering. However, such data is hard to collect, must be gathered anew…
Pacing equilibria describe how budget-constrained advertisers clear an ad market, but computing one at production scale is hard when every request fills several slots: the allocation jumps whenever…
Neural networks whose inputs are functions, as in operator learning, are usually shown to be universal by existence arguments, either by reduction to finite-dimensional networks or by…
Conformal prediction (CP) provides distribution-free coverage guarantees under exchangeability, but the efficiency of its prediction regions depends critically on the choice of the conformity score.…
The United States allocates representatives to each state in proportion to its population, while many parliamentary democracies select representatives from party lists in proportion to the number of…
Policy gradients for autoregressive sequence models differentiate each token's log-probability while holding the conditioning history fixed. This discards information about how earlier decisions…
Synthetic control methods estimate counterfactual outcomes by weighting untreated donor units to match a treated unit before treatment. In recent applications, however, the donor pool can be large,…
Many of the most important datasets in the physical sciences live natively on the sphere, and these data often carry no preferred position or orientation. Using methods that do not reflect this…
Primal-dual methods for constrained Markov decision processes are analyzed under a two-timescale assumption, with non-stationarity entering through two channels. In the additive channel, where the…
