Data-free knowledge distillation enables model compression without original training data, critical for privacy-sensitive tabular domains. However, existing methods does not perform well on tabular data because they do not explicitly address feature interactions, the fundamental way tabular models encode predictive knowledge. We identify interaction diversity, systematic coverage of feature combinations, as an essential requirement for effective tabular distillation. To operationalize this insight, we propose TabKD, which learns adaptive feature bins aligned with teacher decision boundaries, then generates synthetic […]

Johannes Hjorth Alexander Kozlov Yutao He Shenjian Zhang Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski Yonghong Tian Sten Grillner Kai Du Tiejun Huang ::: Abstract Biophysically detailed multi-compartment models are powerful tools to explore computational principles of the brain and also serve as a theoretical framework to generate algorithms for artificial intelligence (AI) systems. However, the expensive computational cost severely limits the applications in both the neuroscience and AI fields. […]

We design a deep reinforcement learning algorithm to explore a high-dimensional integer lattice with sparse rewards, training a feedforward neural network as a dynamic search heuristic to steer exploration toward reward dense regions. We apply this to the discovery of Fano 4-fold hypersurfaces with terminal singularities, objects of central importance in algebraic geometry. Fano varieties with terminal singularities are fundamental building blocks of algebraic varieties, and explicit examples serve as a vital testing ground for the development and […]

Test-time training (TTT) has recently emerged as a promising method to improve the reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs), in which the model directly learns from test data without access to labels. However, this reliance on test data also makes TTT methods vulnerable to harmful prompt injections. In this paper, we investigate safety vulnerabilities of TTT methods, where we study a representative self-consistency-based test-time learning method: test-time reinforcement learning (TTRL), a recent TTT method that improves LLM […]

Accurate prediction of crop states (e.g., phenology stages and cold hardiness) is essential for timely farm management decisions such as irrigation, fertilization, and canopy management to optimize crop yield and quality. While traditional biophysical models can be used for season-long predictions, they lack the precision required for site-specific management. Deep learning methods are a compelling alternative, but can produce biologically unrealistic predictions and require large-scale data. We propose a emph{hybrid modeling} approach that uses a neural network to […]

We investigate the dependence of the approximation capacity of deep residual networks on its depth in a continuous dynamical systems setting. This can be formulated as the general problem of quantifying the minimal time-horizon required to approximate a diffeomorphism by flows driven by a given family $mathcal F$ of vector fields. We show that this minimal time can be identified as a geodesic distance on a sub-Finsler manifold of diffeomorphisms, where the local geometry is characterised by a […]

Numerical weather prediction has long been constrained by the computational bottlenecks inherent in data assimilation and numerical modeling. While machine learning has accelerated forecasting, existing models largely serve as "emulators of reanalysis products," thereby retaining their systematic biases and operational latencies. Here, we present FuXiWeather2, a unified end-to-end neural framework for assimilation and forecasting. We align training objectives directly with a combination of real-world observations and reanalysis data, enabling the framework to effectively rectify inherent errors within reanalysis […]
