arXiv:2603.12324v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Connections between statistical mechanics and machine learning have repeatedly proven fruitful, providing insight into optimization, generalization, and representation learning. In this work, we follow this tradition by leveraging results from non-equilibrium thermodynamics to formalize curriculum learning in reinforcement learning (RL). In particular, we propose a geometric framework for RL by interpreting reward parameters as coordinates on a task manifold. We show that, by minimizing the excess thermodynamic work, optimal curricula correspond to geodesics […]

arXiv:2603.12310v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite rapid advancements in video generation models, aligning their outputs with complex user intent remains challenging. Existing test-time optimization methods are typically either computationally expensive or require white-box access to model internals. To address this, we present VQQA (Video Quality Question Answering), a unified, multi-agent framework generalizable across diverse input modalities and video generation tasks. By dynamically generating visual questions and using the resulting Vision-Language Model (VLM) critiques as semantic gradients, VQQA replaces […]

arXiv:2603.12308v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Domain-Specific architectures with accelerators for machine learning and signal processing require efficient bulk data movement and high-bandwidth access to large datasets. Such capabilities are often absent from minimal open-source microcontrollers (MCUs). We present HyperCroc, an extension to the end-to-end open-source RISC-V Croc system-on-chip (SoC) integrating a silicon-proven HyperBus controller for off-chip DRAM and Flash memory access and a DMA engine, providing a practical MCU-class platform with streamlined plug-in support for domain-specific acceleration. HyperBus […]

arXiv:2603.12305v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The ability to understand and reason about cause and effect — encompassing interventions, counterfactuals, and underlying mechanisms — is a cornerstone of robust artificial intelligence. While deep learning excels at pattern recognition, it fundamentally lacks a model of causality, making systems brittle under distribution shifts and unable to answer “what-if” questions. This paper introduces the emph{Hierarchical Causal Primitive Dynamic Composition Network (HCP-DCNet)}, a unified framework that bridges continuous physical dynamics with discrete symbolic […]

arXiv:2603.12304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper introduces a novel optimization framework that fundamentally integrates the Minimum Description Length (MDL) principle into the training dynamics of deep neural networks. Moving beyond its conventional role as a model selection criterion, we reformulate MDL as an active, adaptive driving force within the optimization process itself. The core of our method is a geometrically-grounded cognitive manifold whose evolution is governed by a textit{coupled Ricci flow}, enriched with a novel textit{MDL Drive} […]

arXiv:2603.12300v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing adoption of server-side component-based web frameworks has introduced new application-layer attack surfaces that remain insufficiently understood at Internet scale. On 3 December 2025, a critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2025-55182) in React Server Components, referred to as React2Shell, was publicly disclosed and subsequently observed being exploited in the wild. Despite its critical severity and a CVSS base score of 10.0, there is limited empirical understanding of how this vulnerability is exploited […]

arXiv:2603.12298v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Activation engineering enables precise control over Large Language Models (LLMs) without the computational cost of fine-tuning. However, existing methods deriving vectors from static activation differences are susceptible to high-dimensional noise and layer-wise semantic drift, often capturing spurious correlations rather than the target intent. To address this, we propose Global Evolutionary Refined Steering (GER-steer), a training-free framework that grounded in the geometric stability of the network’s representation evolution. GER-steer exploits this global signal to […]

arXiv:2603.12297v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper introduces a comprehensive framework for complex-valued probability measures and explores their novel applications in information theory and statistical analysis. We define a complex probability measure as a phase-modulated extension of a classical probability measure. Building upon this foundation, we propose three fundamental information-theoretic quantities: complex entropy, which quantifies distribution uniformity through phase coherence; complex divergence, an asymmetric measure of dissimilarity between distributions; and the complex metric, a symmetric distance function satisfying […]

arXiv:2603.12296v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning has achieved transformative performance across diverse domains, largely driven by the large-scale, high-quality training data. In contrast, the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is fundamentally constrained by the limited, heterogeneous, and privacy-sensitive neural recordings. Generating synthetic yet physiologically plausible brain signals has therefore emerged as a compelling way to mitigate data scarcity and enhance model capacity. This survey provides a comprehensive review of brain signal generation for BCIs, covering methodological taxonomies, […]

arXiv:2603.12293v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predicting protein secondary structure is essential for understanding protein function and advancing drug discovery. However, the intricate sequence-structure relationship poses significant challenges for accurate modeling. To address these, we propose MOGP-MMF, a multi-objective genetic programming framework that reformulates PSSP as an automated optimization task focused on feature selection and fusion. Specifically, MOGP-MMF introduces a multi-view multi-level representation strategy that integrates evolutionary, semantic, and newly introduced structural views to capture the comprehensive protein folding […]
