The security of modern public-key cryptographic systems, such as RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and ECC, depends entirely on the computational intractability of the integer factorization and discrete logarithm…
With external tools, large language models (LLMs) can tackle complex tasks through sustained environmental interaction. LLM-based agents are therefore increasingly used to tackle complex long-horizon…
Large language models (LLMs) can translate natural-language optimization problems into solver programs, but reliably producing correct formulations and implementations remains challenging. Existing…
Neurosurgical navigation commonly presents magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as 2D slices, making it difficult to relate the anatomy in those slices to the cortical surface observed through the…
We present TwinStore, a source-available synthetic consumer platform for physical retail built on vision--language models. TwinStore turns a store into a digital twin---from 82 ready-made formats, a…
On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) improves reasoning by training a model on its own trajectories with dense token-level supervision from a privileged copy conditioned on a reference solution.…
Language models are aligned to avoid using protected attributes such as race, ethnicity, and gender to inform their responses. Therefore, they increasingly refuse or hedge when such attributes appear…
This paper presents AgentDP, which aims to deploy pre-trained AI models on heterogeneous embedded devices by fully automating model optimization and adaptation (O&A) with Large Language Model (LLM)…
Large distribution shifts remain a primary obstacle for domain generalization and unsupervised adaptation. Although gradual domain adaptation alleviates this difficulty by introducing ordered…
We propose AgentDreamer, an agent-guided optimization framework that aligns text instructions with simulated motion through explicit 3D motion planning. Given a text instruction and scene geometry,…
Unsupervised federated learning with Vision-Language Models (e.g., CLIP) offers a promising solution for label-free classification, yet its performance often degrades under severe non-IID shifts. A…
In reinforcement learning, one presumes the action set to be known ahead of time, and, thus, one must know if any state-action pairs are not permissible ahead of computations. In some applications,…
Prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) have recently gained popularity as an end-to-end approach to amortized Bayesian inference. Yet, their statistical behavior for semi-parametric targets, such as means…
Groundwater in Ghana's Densu River Basin remains a key domestic water source, but multi-metal contamination threatens children's health. Previous deterministic hazard index assessments provide…
We investigate k-submodular cover problem with a matroid constraint on an n-element ground set V , which seeks k disjoint subsets of V with minimal cost, where their union is an independent set for…
Generalized circuits are a fundamental tool for establishing PPAD-hardness and membership of approximate equilibrium problems. Despite their importance, the complexity of finding approximate…
Bayesian Causal Forests (BCF) estimate heterogeneous treatment effects with a separate ensemble of treatment trees. The prior on the leaf values of the treatment trees determines whether sampling…
Architectural and structural design optimization in parametric software affords about a thousand evaluations of an expensive model for problems with tens of variables, a regime for which most…
We consider the problem of setting tolls on a subset of the arcs of a congested network so as to maximize the revenue of a network authority, anticipating that users route according to a Wardrop…
The block generalized-power method pairs threshold-based support selection with inexpensive Stiefel updates, but the standard block formulation conflates two nonequivalent objectives and leaves…
Game theory identifies when a strategic action should be accepted, but not how long a live, language-based counterpart will continue to accept it. We entered the GLEE competition in its final week…
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…
Cox processes provide a principled Bayesian nonparametric framework for modeling event-based data through an underlying intensity function. However, existing inference methods for estimating the…
