arXiv:2212.14511v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the task of learning state representations from potentially high-dimensional observations, with the goal of controlling an unknown partially observable system. We pursue a cost-driven approach, where a dynamic model in some latent state space is learned by predicting the costs without predicting the observations or actions. In particular, we focus on an intuitive cost-driven state representation learning method for solving Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control, one of the most fundamental partially […]

arXiv:2604.13153v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently enabled highly photorealistic 3D reconstruction from casually captured multi-view images. However, this accessibility raises a privacy concern: publicly available images or videos can be exploited to reconstruct detailed 3D models of scenes or objects without the owner’s consent. We present PatchPoison, a lightweight dataset-poisoning method that prevents unauthorized 3D reconstruction. Unlike global perturbations, PatchPoison injects a small high-frequency adversarial patch, a structured checkerboard, into the periphery of […]

arXiv:2204.09155v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Persistent homology is an important methodology in topological data analysis which adapts theory from algebraic topology to data settings. Computing persistent homology produces persistence diagrams, which have been successfully used in diverse domains. Despite its widespread use, persistent homology is simply impossible to compute when a dataset is very large. We study a statistical approach to the problem of computing persistent homology for massive datasets using a multiple subsampling framework and extend it […]

arXiv:2602.17667v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In video search systems, user historical behaviors provide rich context for identifying search intent and resolving ambiguity. However, traditional methods utilizing implicit history features often suffer from signal dilution and delayed feedback. To address these challenges, we propose WeWrite, a novel Personalized Demand-aware Query Rewriting framework. Specifically, WeWrite tackles three key challenges: (1) When to Write: An automated posterior-based mining strategy extracts high-quality samples from user logs, identifying scenarios where personalization is strictly […]

Large language models are getting incredibly powerful, but let’s be honest—their inference speed is still a massive headache for anyone trying to use them in production. Google just launched Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) drafters for the Gemma 4 model family. This specialized speculative decoding architecture can actually triple (3x) your speed at inference time, all without sacrificing a bit of output quality or reasoning accuracy. The release comes just weeks after Gemma 4 surpassed 60 million downloads and directly […]

arXiv:2602.04937v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selecting the best data mixture is critical for successful Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) of Multimodal Large Language Models. However, determining the optimal mixture weights across multiple domain-specific datasets remains a significant bottleneck due to the combinatorial search space and the high cost associated with even a single training run. This is the so-called Data Mixture Optimization (DMO) problem. On the other hand, model merging unifies domain-specific experts through parameter interpolation. This strategy is efficient, […]

Machine learning techniques are now routinely encountered in research laboratories across the globe. Impressive progress has been made through ML and AI techniques with regards to large data set processing. This progress has increased the ability of the experimenter to digest data and make novel predictions regarding phenomena of interest. However, machine learning predictors generated from data sets taken from the natural sciences are often treated as black boxes which are used broadly and generally without detailed consideration […]

arXiv:2604.15388v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in large language models have improved code generation, but their use in hardware description languages is still limited. Moreover, training data and testbenches for these models are often scarce. This paper presents a workflow that uses multi-agent models to generate testbenches for high-quality fine-tuning data. By automating testbench creation, the fine-tuned model for the specification-to-Verilog task achieves performance comparable to state-of-the-art methods on the refined VerilogEval v2 benchmark while using less […]
