Why Banks Are Prioritizing AI Leadership in 2026 The financial services industry is experiencing a major transformation because organizations now use artificial intelligence across operational pipelines beyond limited pilot projects. The hiring rate for AI leaders at banks has reached record levels because banks need these experts to develop their organizational plans and operational frameworks. Organizations now recognize that artificial intelligence has become an essential business function, determining how they interact with customers, manage risks, and improve their […]

arXiv:2603.10001v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit inequalities with respect to various cultural contexts. Most prominent open-weights models are trained on Global North data and show prejudicial behavior towards other cultures. Moreover, there is a notable lack of resources to detect biases in non-English languages, especially from Latin America (Latam), a continent containing various cultures, even though they share a common cultural ground. We propose to leverage the content of Wikipedia, the structure of the […]

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a critical stage in post-training large language models (LLMs), involving repeated interaction between rollout generation, reward evaluation, and centralized learning. Distributing rollout execution offers opportunities to leverage more cost-efficient inference resources, but introduces challenges in wide-area coordination and policy dissemination. We present ECHO-2, a distributed RL framework for post-training with remote inference workers and non-negligible dissemination latency. ECHO-2 combines centralized learning with distributed rollouts and treats bounded policy staleness as a user-controlled parameter, enabling […]

arXiv:2407.02700v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach for the output range estimation problem in Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) by integrating a Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm tailored to operate within constrained domains and ensure convergence towards global optima. The method effectively addresses the challenges posed by the lack of local geometric information and the high non-linearity inherent to DNNs, making it applicable to a wide variety of architectures, with a special focus on Residual Networks […]

arXiv:2604.22755v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable decision support in nuclear engineering requires traceable, domain-grounded knowledge retrieval, yet safety and risk analysis workflows remain hampered by fragmented documentation and hallucination when use pre-trained large language model (LLM) in specialized nuclear domains. To address these challenges, this paper presents RADIANT-LLM (Retrival-Augumented, Domain-Intelligent Agent for Nuclear Technologies using LLM), a multi-modal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework designed for nuclear safety, security, and safeguards applications. The framework uses a local-first, model-agnostic architecture that […]

arXiv:2601.01097v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent works have demonstrated promising performances of neural networks on hyperbolic spaces and symmetric positive definite (SPD) manifolds. These spaces belong to a family of Riemannian manifolds referred to as symmetric spaces of noncompact type. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for developing neural networks on such spaces. Our approach relies on a unified formulation of the distance from a point to a hyperplane on the considered spaces. We show that […]

arXiv:2602.05174v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Riemannian flow matching (RFM) extends flow-based generative modeling to data supported on manifolds by learning a time-dependent tangent vector field whose flow-ODE transports a simple base distribution to the data law. We develop a nonasymptotic Total Variation (TV) convergence analysis for RFM samplers that use a learned vector field together with Euler discretization on manifolds. Our key technical ingredient is a differential inequality governing the evolution of TV between two manifold ODE flows, […]
