Many real-world optimization problems involve noisy objective evaluations and probabilistic constraints, particularly in the form of joint chance constraints, which are computationally expensive to…
We study a class of strategic hypothesis testing problems in which a principal aims to allocate resources among competing agents who possess data or data-generating mechanisms that may be relevant to…
Conflict-graph search can stagnate despite effective operators when interventions fail to address the conflicts blocking progress. A disruptive intervention may also require further search before its…
Modern online platforms commonly rank ads and organic content separately before blending them into a feed displayed to the user, overlooking externalities: an item's click-through rate depends on its…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for automated algorithm design. However the computational cost of evaluating the generated algorithms can be excessive.
LLM-guided evolutionary methods, such as AlphaEvolve, have emerged as powerful approaches for challenging computational optimization problems, such as circle packing. However, prior work typically…
Large language models are increasingly participating in complex real-world tasks in the form of algorithm-design agents, designing and refining algorithms. Many successful algorithm-design agents…
This paper introduces a hybrid joint-selective optimization (HJSO) framework for large-scale numerical problems in which a small subset of trainable quantities is of primary interest. We partition…
Stochastic cell updates are often used throughout the life of a neural cellular automaton (NCA), from backpropagation through time to final rollout. This leaves two questions entangled: does update…
Recursive self-improvement (RSI), in which a system also improves the way it improves, is a long-standing aspiration on the path to AGI. Language agents increasingly store procedural knowledge in…
Tabular foundation models based on prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) predict on a new data set in a single forward pass, but they cannot report which inputs their predictions depend on. We propose…
In this paper, we present a lightweight algorithm for modelling tabular data containing both continuous and discrete variables. The method uses empirical marginal distributions and a selected…
Muon replaces a matrix gradient by an approximate polar factor and has shown strong empirical performance in neural-network training. The Isotropic Curvature Model (ICM) provides a curvature-based…
Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) is now a common ingredient in language-model pre-training, as it improves downstream performance and enables faster inference through speculative decoding. We identify a…
Interactive video world models require coordinated control over viewing perspectives, character actions, and camera motion. Existing methods typically leave view modes implicit in text captions,…
Locating relevant evidence in long inputs is a core capability of Multimodal Large Language Models. Prior studies attribute this capability to retrieval heads, a sparse set of attention heads that…
Scientific discovery requires identifying the scientific principles underlying observed phenomena to guide further investigation. As these empirical principles are often unknown in complex discovery…
Developing general-purpose algorithms with global asymptotic convergence guarantees for Nash equilibria of general-sum games remains a longstanding challenge. This paper extends the fixed-point…
Developing general-purpose algorithms with global asymptotic convergence guarantees for variational inequalities (VIs) remains a longstanding challenge. This paper proposes a path-following framework…
Feed-forward models accurately estimate camera motion and 3D geometry from short video windows. However, computational and memory costs prevent direct inference on sequences containing thousands of…
Experience generated during deployment offers an opportunity for robots to improve policy reliability through learning from their own executions. However, learning through human corrections requires…
Language models are frequently aligned to human preferences via imperfect evaluators whose errors can be exploited during optimization. We train policies to search for comparisons on which an…
HoloBoxing presents a simple recipe for learning humanoid boxing by building on a pretrained whole-body controller. The recipe separates reusable motor skills from task decisions: a compact planner…
