arXiv:2603.15674v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a complete theoretical characterization of Latent Posterior Factors (LPF), a principled framework for aggregating multiple heterogeneous evidence items in probabilistic prediction tasks. Multi-evidence reasoning arises pervasively in high-stakes domains including healthcare diagnosis, financial risk assessment, legal case analysis, and regulatory compliance, yet existing approaches either lack formal guarantees or fail to handle multi-evidence scenarios architecturally. LPF encodes each evidence item into a Gaussian latent posterior via a variational autoencoder, converting posteriors […]

arXiv:2602.15190v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we present our 3rd place system in the AVerImaTeC shared task, which combines our last year’s retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline with a reverse image search (RIS) module. Despite its simplicity, our system delivers competitive performance with a single multimodal LLM call per fact-check at just $0.013 on average using GPT5.1 via OpenAI Batch API. Our system is also easy to reproduce and tweak, consisting of only three decoupled modules – […]

In this paper, it is shown, for the first time, that centralized performance is achievable in decentralized learning without sharing the local datasets. Specifically, when clients adopt an empirical risk minimization with relative-entropy regularization (ERM-RER) learning framework and a forward-backward communication between clients is established, it suffices to share the locally obtained Gibbs measures to achieve the same performance as that of a centralized ERM-RER with access to all the datasets. The core idea is that the Gibbs […]

arXiv:2601.05431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurately assessing the potential for fault slip is essential in many subsurface operations. Conventional model-based history matching methods, which entail the generation of posterior geomodels calibrated to observed data, can be challenging to apply in coupled flow-geomechanics problems with faults. In this work, we implement a variational autoencoder (VAE)-based data-space inversion (DSI) framework to predict pressure, stress and strain fields, and fault slip tendency, in CO${_2}$ storage projects. The main computations required by […]

The Amazon Nova AI Challenge is back for its second year. As ten selected university teams from around the world gather in Seattle this week for bootcamp (February 2-4), they’re preparing to tackle a real-world challenge in software development: building AI agents that can handle complex coding tasks while maintaining security and reliability. For the first time in an academic competition, participating teams will use Amazon Nova Forge to customize Nova models with access to tools, models and […]

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 […]

Deploying a deep learning model into production has always involved a painful gap between the model a researcher trains and the model that actually runs efficiently at scale. TensorRT exists, Torch-TensorRT exists, TorchAO exists — but wiring them together, deciding which backend to use for which layer, and validating that the tuned model still produces correct outputs has historically meant substantial custom engineering work. NVIDIA AI team is now open-sourcing a toolkit designed to collapse that effort into […]

Modern seismic and volcanic monitoring is increasingly shaped by continuous, multi-sensor observations and by the need to extract actionable information from nonstationary, noisy wavefields. In this context, machine learning has moved from a research curiosity to a practical ingredient of processing chains for detection, phase picking, classification, denoising, and anomaly tracking. However, improved accuracy on a fixed dataset is not sufficient for operational use. Models must remain reliable under domain shift (new stations, changing noise, evolving volcanic activity), […]

arXiv:2604.13210v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the slightly compressible Darcy-Forchheimer equations modeling gas flow in porous media, particularly in applications related to combustion processes. The equations are discretized in time using the backward Euler method and in space via a mixed finite element scheme. As a result, a nonlinear algebraic system is obtained at each time step. We propose and analyze a general iterative linearization scheme for the efficient solution of such systems and study its convergence […]
