arXiv:2603.08130v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a novel Explainable methodology for Condition Monitoring, relying on healthy data only. Since faults are rare events, we propose to focus on learning the probability distribution of healthy observations only, and detect Anomalies at runtime. This objective is achieved via the definition of probabilistic measures of deviation from nominality, which allow to detect and anticipate faults. The Bayesian perspective underpinning our approach allows us to perform Uncertainty Quantification to inform decisions. […]

arXiv:2603.08001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Maximum inner product search (MIPS) is a crucial subroutine in machine learning, requiring the identification of key vectors that align best with a given query. We propose amortized MIPS: a learning-based approach that trains neural networks to directly predict MIPS solutions, amortizing the computational cost of matching queries (drawn from a fixed distribution) to a fixed set of keys. Our key insight is that the MIPS value function, the maximal inner product between […]

arXiv:2603.07899v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The reliable operation of modern power grids requires probabilistic load forecasts with well-calibrated uncertainty estimates. However, existing deep learning models produce overconfident point predictions that fail catastrophically under extreme weather distributional shifts. This study proposes a Bayesian Transformer (BT) framework that integrates three complementary uncertainty mechanisms into a PatchTST backbone: Monte Carlo Dropout for epistemic parameter uncertainty, variational feed-forward layers with log-uniform weight priors, and stochastic attention with learnable Gaussian noise perturbations on […]

arXiv:2603.07887v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inference-time methods that aggregate and prune multiple samples have emerged as a powerful paradigm for steering large language models, yet we lack any principled understanding of their accuracy-cost tradeoffs. In this paper, we introduce a route to rigorously study such approaches using the lens of *particle filtering* algorithms such as Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC). Given a base language model and a *process reward model* estimating expected terminal rewards, we ask: *how accurately can […]

arXiv:2603.07437v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the problem of state representation learning for control from partial and potentially high-dimensional observations. We approach this problem via cost-driven state representation learning, in which we learn a dynamical model in a latent state space by predicting cumulative costs. In particular, we establish finite-sample guarantees on finding a near-optimal representation function and a near-optimal controller using the learned latent model for infinite-horizon time-invariant Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control. We study two […]

arXiv:2603.07409v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Measurement error is prevalent across all domains of scientific research where only imprecise observations, rather than the true underlying values, can be obtained. For example, estimates of human microbiome diversity are based on small samples from a much larger, generally unobserved system and reflect both sampling error and technical variation. In high-noise settings like these, it becomes difficult to make accurate predictions and to summarize uncertainty. Methods have previously been proposed to accommodate […]

arXiv:2603.07351v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose DistGP: a multi-robot learning method for collaborative learning of a global function using only local experience and computation. We utilise a sparse Gaussian process (GP) model with a factorisation that mirrors the multi-robot structure of the task, and admits distributed training via Gaussian belief propagation (GBP). Our loopy model outperforms Tree-Structured GPs cite{bui2014tree} and can be trained online and in settings with dynamic connectivity. We show that such distributed, asynchronous training […]

arXiv:2603.07276v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Flow maps enable high-quality image generation in a single forward pass. However, unlike iterative diffusion models, their lack of an explicit sampling trajectory impedes incorporating external constraints for conditional generation and solving inverse problems. We put forth Variational Flow Maps, a framework for conditional sampling that shifts the perspective of conditioning from “guiding a sampling path”, to that of “learning the proper initial noise”. Specifically, given an observation, we seek to learn a […]

arXiv:2603.07230v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intergenerational mobility quantifies the transmission of socio-economic outcomes from parents to children. While rank-rank regression (RRR) is standard, adding covariates directly (RRRX) often yields parameters with unclear interpretation. Conditional rank-rank regression (CRRR) resolves this by using covariate-adjusted (conditional) ranks to measure within-group mobility. We improve and extend CRRR by estimating conditional ranks with a deep conditional transformation model (DCTM) and cross-fitting, enabling end-to-end conditional distribution learning with structural constraints and strong performance under […]

arXiv:2603.07169v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optimizing GPU kernels manually is a challenging and time-consuming task. With the rapid development of LLMs, automated GPU kernel optimization is gradually becoming a tangible reality. However, current LLM-driven automated optimization methods narrowly focus on machine learning applications, such as PyTorch operator optimization, while overlooking broader domains like sparse matrix operations in scientific computing. Extending to these broader applications brings new challenges for the benchmark and algorithm. Therefore, developing a general-purpose automated kernel […]
