arXiv:2604.02370v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As wireless communication evolves, each generation of networks brings new technologies that change how we connect and interact. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming crucial in shaping the future of sixth-generation (6G) networks. By combining AI and Machine Learning (ML), 6G aims to offer high data rates, low latency, and extensive connectivity for applications including smart cities, autonomous systems, holographic telepresence, and the tactile internet. This paper provides a detailed overview of the role […]

arXiv:2603.02232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reward modeling is crucial for aligning large language models with human preferences, yet current approaches lack a principled mathematical framework for leveraging ordinal preference data. When human annotators provide graded preferences on a Likert scale (e.g., significantly better, better, slightly better, negligibly better), existing methods typically apply ad-hoc heuristics, such as margin terms or scaling factors, to loss functions derived from binary preference models like Bradley-Terry. These approaches lack an underlying mathematical model […]

arXiv:2602.12449v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning Gibbs distributions using only sufficient statistics has long been recognized as a computationally hard problem. On the other hand, computationally efficient algorithms for learning Gibbs distributions rely on access to full sample configurations generated from the model. For many systems of interest that arise in physical contexts, expecting a full sample to be observed is not practical, and hence it is important to look for computationally efficient methods that solve the learning […]

arXiv:2603.20289v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Remote sensing images (RSIs) are frequently degraded by haze, fog, and thin clouds, which obscure surface reflectance and hinder downstream applications. This study presents the first systematic and unified survey of RSIs dehazing, integrating methodological evolution, benchmark assessment, and physical consistency analysis. We categorize existing approaches into a three-stage progression: from handcrafted physical priors, to data-driven deep restoration, and finally to hybrid physical-intelligent generation, and summarize more than 30 representative methods across CNNs, […]

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:2601.03438v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the problem of fairly and efficiently allocating indivisible goods among agents with additive valuations. We focus on envy-freeness up to any good (EFX) — an important fairness notion in fair division of indivisible goods. A central open question in this field is whether EFX allocations always exist for any number of agents. While prior work has established EFX existence for settings with at most three distinct valuations (Prakash HV et al. […]

arXiv:2601.01594v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study variance reduction for score estimation and diffusion-based sampling in settings where the clean (target) score is available or can be approximated. Starting from the Target Score Identity (TSI), which expresses the noisy marginal score as a conditional expectation of the target score under the forward diffusion, we develop: (i) a plug-and-play nonparametric self-normalized importance sampling estimator compatible with standard reverse-time solvers, (ii) a variance-minimizing emph{state- and time-dependent} blending rule between Tweedie-type […]

Everyone believes that the digits of constants such as π or √2 cannot be distinguished from a sequence of random bits. The first few trillion successfully pass all tests of randomness. However, proving that they indeed behave perfectly randomly is arguably one of the oldest and most difficult unsolved math conjectures. So far, nobody succeeded in proving even the most basic facts for any of these constants, for instance: In the binary digits of π, is the proportion […]

arXiv:2601.22003v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The problem of optimising functions with intractable gradients frequently arise in machine learning and statistics, ranging from maximum marginal likelihood estimation procedures to fine-tuning of generative models. Stochastic approximation methods for this class of problems typically require inner sampling loops to obtain (biased) stochastic gradient estimates, which rapidly becomes computationally expensive. In this work, we develop sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) samplers for optimisation of functions with intractable gradients. Our approach replaces expensive inner […]
