General-purpose embeddings trained on profile similarity often misrank candidates in professional networks, where relevance is inherently complementary rather than symmetric. For example, job seekers…
Diffusion language models generate by iteratively denoising a masked sequence under bidirectional attention, without the strict left-to-right commitment of autoregressive decoding. Whether this…
Retrieval-based in-context learning (ICL) enables large language models (LLMs) to predict tabular labels from similar examples, but it remains unclear whether LLM inference improves on direct voting…
Finding K most similar elements for a query in a large gallery of neural network (NN) embeddings is essential in various areas of computer science and industrial applications of artificial…
Despite substantial progress in Deep Search agents, their ability to conduct end-to-end research in real-world open Web environments remains insufficiently evaluated. Unlike static retrieval…
Margin bounds explain why weighted votes generalize after training error vanishes, but dependent observations require concentration arguments that keep the dependence model and failure budget…
Post-hoc image explanations usually show where a model looks using spatial heatmaps or indicate which channels matter using global channel scores. These separate views are limiting for multispectral…
The Mallows model is a well-established construct in preference modeling, describing random rankings through their Kendall-Tau distance from a reference permutation. Its compact parameterization and…
Continual Graph Learning (CGL) aims to incrementally learn from graph-structured data while preserving knowledge acquired from previous tasks. A major challenge in this setting is catastrophic…
Vector Symbolic Algebras project data structures into a hyperdimensional vector space through the application of their vector algebras to randomly generated atomic vector symbols and fractional power…
Recursive self-improvement requires models not only to acquire useful training experience, but also to decide when their current experience has ceased to be useful. Existing methods often focus on…
Multi-agent systems often rely on predefined collaboration structures, limiting their ability to adapt to diverse task requirements. We introduce DynaFlow, a framework that integrates free-form…
Successful tool-use trajectories are not necessarily useful supervision. Even successful interactions may underrepresent multi-step dependencies or contain actions that are unjustified by the…
Deploying language agents in real applications demands more than the right answer: an agent must execute a multi-step business process correctly, follow domain-specific rules, and interact with a…
Scaling embedding capacity alongside Transformer computation is an emerging trend in language models. This trend makes high compression rates increasingly useful.
Autonomous agents can increasingly propose ideas, modify code, and run experiments, creating an opportunity to accelerate scientific discovery using teams of collaborative AI researchers. To escape…
As model parameters scale up, sparsely activated Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) approaches have become essential for model scaling. However, mainstream models currently adopt hierarchical architectures,…
We propose a new framework for banner ad auctions, leveraging diffusion models to allow for multiple bidders to co-win a single banner ad opportunity, and in particular influence the ad shown on the…
Genetic Programming Guided Local Search (GPGLS) uses genetic programming to evolve utility functions for guided local search in large-scale vehicle routing problems (LSVRPs). Evaluating every GP…
Genetic Programming Guided Local Search (GPGLS) learns utility functions that guide local search for vehicle routing. Its evolving programs can have similar fitness while inducing different search…
Video captioning aims to preserve visual information through compact descriptions, predominantly using natural language. However, precisely expressing fine-grained spatial structures and temporal…
A benchmark is not merely a collection of test questions; it naturally induces an empirical measure over difficulty. In this work, we develop this measure-based view of benchmark evaluation.
