We study offline-online reinforcement learning in linear mixture Markov decision processes (MDPs) under environment shift. In the offline phase, data are collected by an unknown behavior policy and may come from a mismatched environment, while in the online phase the learner interacts with the target environment. We propose an algorithm that adaptively leverages offline data. When the offline data are informative, either due to sufficient coverage or small environment shift, the algorithm provably improves over purely online learning. […]

We introduce Graph Concept Bottleneck (GCB) as a new paradigm for self-explainable text-attributed graph learning. GCB maps graphs into a subspace, concept bottleneck, where each concept is a meaningful phrase, and predictions are made based on the activation of these concepts. Unlike existing interpretable graph learning methods that primarily rely on subgraphs as explanations, the concept bottleneck provides a new form of interpretation. To refine the concept space, we apply the information bottleneck principle to focus on the […]

Epileptic seizure detection from EEG signals remains challenging due to the high dimensionality and nonlinear, potentially stochastic, dynamics of neural activity. In this work, we investigate whether features derived from topological data analysis (TDA) can improve the classification of brain states in preictal, ictal and interictal iEEG recordings from epilepsy patients using multichannel data. We analyze data from 55 patients, significantly larger than many previous studies that rely on patient-specific models. Persistence diagrams derived from iEEG signals are […]

Large Foundation Model (LFM) inference is both memory- and compute-intensive, traditionally relying on GPUs. However, the limited availability and high cost have motivated the adoption of high-performance general-purpose CPUs, especially emerging 3D-stacked Static Non-Uniform Cache Architecture (3D S-NUCA) systems. These architectures offer enhanced bandwidth and locality but suffer from severe thermal challenges and uneven cache latencies due to 3D Networks-on-Chip (NoC). Optimal management of thread migration and V/f scaling is non-trivial due to LFM kernel diversity and system […]

High-fidelity numerical simulation of subsurface flow is computationally intensive, especially for many-query tasks such as uncertainty quantification and data assimilation. Deep learning (DL) surrogates can significantly accelerate forward simulations, yet constructing them requires substantial machine learning (ML) expertise – from architecture design to hyperparameter tuning – that most domain scientists do not possess. Furthermore, the process is predominantly manual and relies heavily on heuristic choices. This expertise gap remains a key barrier to the broader adoption of DL […]

While next-token prediction (NTP) has been the standard objective for training language models, it often struggles to capture global structure in reasoning tasks. Multi-token prediction (MTP) has recently emerged as a promising alternative, yet its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this paper, we study how MTP facilitates reasoning, with a focus on planning. Empirically, we show that MTP consistently outperforms NTP on both synthetic graph path-finding tasks and more realistic reasoning benchmarks, such as Countdown and boolean […]

The stable operation of autonomous off-grid photovoltaic systems requires solar forecasting algorithms that respect atmospheric thermodynamics. Contemporary deep learning models consistently exhibit critical anomalies, primarily severe temporal phase lags during cloud transients and physically impossible nocturnal power generation. To resolve this divergence between data-driven modeling and deterministic celestial mechanics, this research introduces the Thermodynamic Liquid Manifold Network. The methodology projects 22 meteorological and geometric variables into a Koopman-linearized Riemannian manifold to systematically map complex climatic dynamics. The architecture […]

We have witnessed remarkable advances in LLM reasoning capabilities with the advent of DeepSeek-R1. However, much of this progress has been fueled by the abundance of internet question-answer (QA) pairs, a major bottleneck going forward, since such data is limited in scale and concentrated mainly in domains like mathematics. In contrast, other sciences such as physics lack large-scale QA datasets to effectively train reasoning-capable models. In this work, we show that physics simulators can serve as a powerful […]
