If you have been running reinforcement learning (RL) post-training on a language model for math reasoning, code generation, or any verifiable task, you have almost certainly stared at a progress bar while your GPU cluster burns through rollout generation. A team of researchers from NVIDIA proposes a precise fix by integrating speculative decoding into the RL training loop itself, and do it in a way that preserves the target model’s exact output distribution. The research team integrated speculative […]

arXiv:2603.06674v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-quality scientific illustrations are essential for communicating complex scientific and technical concepts, yet existing automated systems remain limited in editability, stylistic controllability, and efficiency. We present AutoFigure-Edit, an end-to-end system that generates fully editable scientific illustrations from long-form scientific text while enabling flexible style adaptation through user-provided reference images. By combining long-context understanding, reference-guided styling, and native SVG editing, it enables efficient creation and refinement of high-quality scientific illustrations. To facilitate further progress […]

arXiv:2603.26668v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As an important paradigm for enhancing the generation quality of Large Language Models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) faces the two challenges regarding retrieval accuracy and computational efficiency. This paper presents a novel RAG framework called Bridge-RAG. To overcome the accuracy challenge, we introduce the concept of abstract to bridge query entities and document chunks, providing robust semantic understanding. We organize the abstracts into a tree structure and design a multi-level retrieval strategy to […]

arXiv:2602.23524v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reachability analysis has become increasingly important in robotics to distinguish safe from unsafe states. Unfortunately, existing reachability and safety analysis methods often fall short, as they typically require known system dynamics or large datasets to estimate accurate system models, are computationally expensive, and assume full state information. A recent method, called MORALS, aims to address these shortcomings by using topological tools to estimate3DR-eEgnciodnesr of Attraction (ROA) in a low-dimensional latent space. However, MORALS […]

Objective: Accurate noninvasive estimation of intracranial pressure (ICP) remains a major challenge in critical care. We developed a bespoke machine learning algorithm that integrates system identification and ranking-constrained optimization to estimate mean ICP from noninvasive signals. Methods: A machine learning framework was proposed to obtain accurate mean ICP values using arbitrary noninvasive signals. The subspace system identification algorithm is employed to identify cerebral hemodynamics models for ICP simulation using arterial blood pressure (ABP), cerebral blood velocity (CBv), and […]

arXiv:2601.02563v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated exceptional code generation capabilities, yet their token-level mechanisms remain underexplored, particularly in compressed models. Through systematic analysis of programming language token representations, we characterize how programming languages are encoded in LLM tokenizers by analyzing their vocabulary distribution and keyword coverage patterns. We introduce a novel cold-start probability analysis method that provides insights into model behavior without requiring explicit prompts. Additionally, we present a comprehensive evaluation of how […]

arXiv:2603.26982v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning algorithms have been widely used for decision-making tasks in various domains. However, the performance of these algorithms can be impacted by high variance and instability, particularly in environments with noise or sparse rewards. In this paper, we propose a framework to perform statistical online inference for a sample-averaged Q-learning approach. We adapt the functional central limit theorem (FCLT) for the modified algorithm under some general conditions and then construct confidence intervals […]
