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…
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…
To facilitate the solving of complex problems, evolutionary multitask optimization is regarded as a promising technique due to its capacity for cross-task knowledge transfer. In contrast to empirical…
Assigning routine tasks to cheaper large language model (LLM) providers can reduce generation cost, but switching providers may require processing accumulated context again. Keeping dependent tasks…
Online motor imagery-based brain-computer interfaces (MI-BCIs) typically decode continuous EEG using fixed-length sliding windows that may be misaligned with neural events. Existing window…
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…
Safety-aligned large language models (LLMs) remain vulnerable to adversarial prompts that bypass their safety training. Existing automated red-teaming methods either require privileged access…
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…
Calibrated uncertainty quantification is essential to ensuring AI agents are trustworthy and reliable. However, when agents seek to maximize user engagement or revenue, confidence reports may be…
Several discrete design tasks, such as molecular discovery, require diverse collections of useful candidates at low computational cost. High validity alone does not guarantee a useful candidate…
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…
Intrinsic explainability remains a challenging problem, particularly in contexts where multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) require dynamic re-training within an optimization environment. This paper…
Despite many studies about causes and remedies of plasticity loss in Reinforcement Learning (RL) under continual task changes, no RL method has yet consistently achieved a good balance between…
The Three-Dimensional Trailer Loading Problem (3D-TLP) involves determining the optimal placement and orientation of heterogeneous items within the confined space of a trailer while maximizing volume…
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…
Constrained Reinforcement Learning has recently gained increasing attention in the field of Safe Autonomous Driving, where the general mechanism is to maximize the expected reward while keeping the…
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…
Large language models (LLMs) enable automated algorithm design (AAD) through reasoning and code synthesis. However, most existing LLM-based AAD methods separate algorithm design from target…
