Global universality via discrete-time signatures

arXiv:2603.09773v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We establish global universal approximation theorems on spaces of piecewise linear paths, stating that linear functionals of the corresponding signatures are dense with respect to $L^p$- and weighted norms, under an integrability condition on the…

Sparse Variational Student-t Processes for Heavy-tailed Modeling

arXiv:2408.06699v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Gaussian process (GP) is a powerful tool for nonparametric modeling, but its sensitivity to outliers limits its applicability to data distributions with heavy-tails. Studentt processes offer a robust alternative for heavy tail modeling, but…

SATURN: SAT-based Reinforcement Learning to Unleash LLMs Reasoning

arXiv:2505.16368v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: How to design reinforcement learning (RL) tasks that effectively unleash the reasoning capability of large language models (LLMs) remains an open question. Existing RL tasks (e.g., math, programming, and constructing reasoning tasks) suffer from three…

DUEL: Exact Likelihood for Masked Diffusion via Deterministic Unmasking

arXiv:2603.01367v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Masked diffusion models (MDMs) generate text by iteratively selecting positions to unmask and then predicting tokens at those positions. Yet MDMs lack proper likelihood evaluation: the evidence lower bound (ELBO) is not only a loose…
