Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) seeks to reconstruct cardiac electrical activity from body-surface potentials noninvasively. However, the associated inverse problem is severely ill-posed and requires robust regularization. While classical approaches primarily employ spatial smoothing, the temporal structure of cardiac dynamics remains underexploited despite its physiological relevance. We introduce a space-time regularization framework that couples spatial regularization with a learned temporal Fields-of-Experts (FoE) prior to capture complex spatiotemporal activation patterns. We derive a finite element discretization on unstructured cardiac surface meshes, […]

Offline reinforcement learning (RL) optimizes policies from a previously collected static dataset and is an important branch of RL. A popular and promising approach is to regularize actor-critic methods with behavior cloning (BC), which yields realistic policies and mitigates bias from out-of-distribution actions, but can impose an often-overlooked performance ceiling: when dataset actions are suboptimal, indiscriminate imitation structurally prevents the actor from fully exploiting high-value regions suggested by the critic, especially in later training when imitation is already […]

Active learning (AL) is a machine learning (ML) approach that strategically selects the most informative samples for annotation during training, aiming to minimize annotation costs. This strategy not only reduces labeling expenses but also results in energy savings during neural network training, thereby enhancing both data and energy efficiency. In this paper, we implement and evaluate various state-of-the-art acquisition functions, analyzing their accuracy and computational costs, while discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Our findings reveal […]

A typical software engineer deals daily with threads, processes, synchronization, race conditions, context sharing etc. A typical frontend engineer does not, but to build modern scalable interactive apps, one should. Why do multi threaded rendering ? The DOM is single threaded (still is, and might be forever). But we want to do more with it. Here are some cases where a single thread starts becoming a bottleneck: Heavy data visualizations, dashboards with multiple visualizations Apps with complex and […]

The fusion of AI integration for blockchain with decentralized systems is rapidly moving from academic theory to real business impact. In the last week, Ethereum introduced a new AI agent economy standard designed to make intelligent code interact more efficiently with smart contracts. Market data suggests that the global AI agents market in the year 2025 is estimated at $7.84 billion and is expected to reach around $53.62 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 46.3%, proving […]

Chirality is a fundamental molecular property that governs stereospecific behavior in chemistry and biology. Capturing chirality in machine learning models remains challenging due to the geometric complexity of stereochemical relationships and the limitations of traditional molecular representations that often lack explicit stereochemical encoding. Existing approaches to chiral molecular representation primarily focus on central chirality, relying on handcrafted stereochemical tags or limited 3D encodings, and thus fail to generalize to more complex forms such as axial chirality. In this […]

The dynamics of gradient-based training in neural networks often exhibit nontrivial structures; hence, understanding them remains a central challenge in theoretical machine learning. In particular, a concept of feature unlearning, in which a neural network progressively loses previously learned features over long training, has gained attention. In this study, we consider the infinite-width limit of a two-layer neural network updated with a large-batch stochastic gradient, then derive differential equations with different time scales, revealing the mechanism and conditions […]

We give new differentially private algorithms for the classic problems of learning decision lists and large-margin halfspaces in the PAC and online models. In the PAC model, we give a computationally efficient algorithm for learning decision lists with minimal sample overhead over the best non-private algorithms. In the online model, we give a private analog of the influential Winnow algorithm for learning halfspaces with mistake bound polylogarithmic in the dimension and inverse polynomial in the margin. As an […]
