arXiv:2602.03566v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computational optimal transport (OT) offers a principled framework for generative modeling. Neural OT methods, which use neural networks to learn an OT map (or potential) from data in an amortized way, can be evaluated out of sample after training, but existing approaches are tailored to Euclidean geometry. Extending neural OT to high-dimensional Riemannian manifolds remains an open challenge. In this paper, we prove that any method for OT on manifolds that produces discrete […]

arXiv:2602.21267v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making traditional defense mechanisms and manual red teaming approaches insufficient for modern organizations. While red teaming has long been recognized as an effective method to identify vulnerabilities by simulating real-world attacks, its manual execution is resource-intensive, time-consuming, and lacks scalability for frequent assessments. These limitations have driven the evolution toward auto-mated red teaming, which leverages artificial intelligence and automation to deliver efficient and adaptive security evaluations. This […]

arXiv:2602.10258v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite filtered nearest neighbor search being a fundamental task in modern vector search systems, the performance of existing algorithms is highly sensitive to query selectivity and filter type. In particular, existing solutions excel either at specific filter categories (e.g., label equality) or within narrow selectivity bands (e.g., pre-filtering for low selectivity) and are therefore a poor fit for practical deployments that demand generalization to new filter types and unknown query selectivities. In this […]

arXiv:2603.25767v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current audio pre-training seeks to learn unified representations for broad audio understanding tasks, but it remains fragmented and is fundamentally bottlenecked by its reliance on weak, noisy, and scale-limited labels. Drawing lessons from vision’s foundational pre-training blueprint, we argue that the audio field must first establish its own large-scale, strong supervision framework. We introduce a new data-centric pipeline that leverages a high-fidelity captioner to create SOTA-quality captions and the first Unified Tag System […]

arXiv:2601.16399v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a structured bi-level optimization problem where the upper-level objective is a smooth function and the lower-level problem is policy optimization in a Markov decision process (MDP). The upper-level decision variable parameterizes the reward of the lower-level MDP, and the upper-level objective depends on the optimal induced policy. Existing methods for bi-level optimization and RL often require second-order information, impose strong regularization at the lower level, or inefficiently use samples through nested-loop […]

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients without sharing raw data, thereby preserving privacy. However, FL often suffers from significant communication and computational overhead, limiting its scalability and sustainability. In this work, we introduce a Full Compression Pipeline (FCP) for FL in communication-constrained environments. FCP integrates three complementary deep compression techniques (pruning, quantization, and Huffman encoding) into a unified end-to-end framework. By compressing local models and communication payloads, FCP substantially reduces transmission costs and resource […]

arXiv:2510.18120v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Understanding generalization in overparameterized neural networks hinges on the interplay between the data geometry, neural architecture, and training dynamics. In this paper, we theoretically explore how data geometry controls this implicit bias. This paper presents theoretical results for overparametrized two-layer ReLU networks trained below the edge of stability. First, for data distributions supported on a mixture of low-dimensional balls, we derive generalization bounds that provably adapt to the intrinsic dimension. Second, for a […]
