arXiv:2510.22351v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of estimating the average treatment effect (ATE) under sequentially adaptive treatment assignment mechanisms. In contrast to classical completely randomized designs, we consider a setting in which the probability of assigning treatment to each experimental unit may depend on prior assignments and observed outcomes. Within the potential outcomes framework, we propose and analyze two natural estimators for the ATE: the inverse propensity weighted (IPW) estimator and an augmented IPW (AIPW) […]

arXiv:2601.20892v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Developing new metal hydrides is a critical step toward efficient hydrogen storage in carbon-neutral energy systems. However, existing materials databases, such as the Materials Project, contain a limited number of well-characterized hydrides, which constrains the discovery of optimal candidates. This work presents a framework that integrates causal discovery with a lightweight generative machine learning model to generate novel metal hydride candidates that may not exist in current databases. Using a dataset of 450 […]

arXiv:2604.14309v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To address high data traffic demands of sixth-generation (6G) networks, this paper proposes a novel architecture that integrates autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs) and multi-functional reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (MF-RISs) as AM-RIS in fluid antenna (FA)-assisted full-duplex (FD) networks. The AM-RIS provides hybrid functionalities, including signal reflection, amplification, and energy harvesting (EH), potentially improving both signal coverage and sustainability. Meanwhile, FA facilitates fine-grained spatial adaptability at FD-enabled base station (BS), which complements residual self-interference (SI) […]

arXiv:2601.12149v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Terahertz (THz) systems inherently introduce frequency-dependent degradation effects, resulting in low-frequency blurring and high-frequency noise in amplitude images. Conventional image processing techniques cannot simultaneously address both issues, and manual intervention is often required due to the unknown boundary between denoising and deblurring. To tackle this challenge, we propose a principal component analysis (PCA)-based THz self-supervised denoising and deblurring network (THz-SSDD). The network employs a Recorrupted-to-Recorrupted self-supervised learning strategy to capture the intrinsic features […]

arXiv:2603.08716v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Design Conductor (DC) is an autonomous agent which applies the capabilities of frontier models to build semiconductors end-to-end — that is, from concept to verified, tape-out ready GDSII (layout CAD file). In 12 hours and fully autonomously, DC was able to build several micro-architecture variations of a complete RISC-V CPU (which we dub VerCore) that meet timing at 1.48 GHz (rv32i-zmmul; using the ASAP7 PDK), starting from a 219-word requirements document. The VerCore […]

arXiv:2604.09793v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific breakthroughs often emerge from synthesizing prior ideas into novel contributions. While language models (LMs) show promise in scientific discovery, their ability to perform this targeted, literature-grounded synthesis remains underexplored. We introduce insight anticipation, a generation task in which a model predicts a downstream paper’s core insight from its foundational parent papers. To evaluate this capability, we develop GiantsBench, a benchmark of 17k examples across eight scientific domains, where each example consists of […]

Introduction Disclaimer: This article is a cross post from Pytorch Medium Blog Post. One of the most exciting advancements, that has pushed the frontier of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years, is Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). DRL belongs to the family of machine learning algorithms. It assumes that intelligent machines can learn from their actions similar to the way humans learn from experience. Over the recent years we could witness some impressive real-world applications of DRL. The […]

arXiv:2506.01913v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This work introduces a hybrid non-Euclidean optimization method which generalizes gradient norm clipping by combining steepest descent and conditional gradient approaches. The method achieves the best of both worlds by establishing a descent property under a generalized notion of ($L_0$,$L_1$)-smoothness. Weight decay is incorporated in a principled manner by identifying a connection to the Frank-Wolfe short step. In the stochastic case, we show an order optimal $O(n^{-1/4})$ convergence rate by leveraging a momentum […]

arXiv:2603.03464v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce Graph Hopfield Networks, whose energy function couples associative memory retrieval with graph Laplacian smoothing for node classification. Gradient descent on this joint energy yields an iterative update interleaving Hopfield retrieval with Laplacian propagation. Memory retrieval provides regime-dependent benefits: up to 2.0~pp on sparse citation networks and up to 5 pp additional robustness under feature masking; the iterative energy-descent architecture itself is a strong inductive bias, with all variants (including the memory-disabled […]

arXiv:2604.17001v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The recently established Convolution Nuclear Norm Minimization (CNNM) addresses the problem of textit{tensor completion with arbitrary sampling} (TCAS), which involves restoring a tensor from a subset of its entries sampled in an arbitrary manner. Despite its promising performance, the optimization procedure of CNNM needs performing Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) multiple times, which is computationally expensive and hard to parallelize. To address the issue, we reformulate the optimization objective of CNNM from the perspective […]
