Privacy Without Regret: Differentially Private Inference-Time Alignment

arXiv:2608.26324v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Best-of-N (BoN) sampling is the simplest and most widely deployed inference-time alignment strategy, but it suffers from two distinct problems: reward hacking, in which the selected response exploits errors in the proxy reward model, and…

Aitchison Embeddings for Learning Compositional Graph Representations

arXiv:2605.00716v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Representation learning is central to graph machine learning, powering tasks such as link prediction and node classification. However, most graph embeddings are hard to interpret, offering limited insight into how learned features relate to graph…

Distributed Training using an Intelligent Network

arXiv:2608.26453v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Distributed training across a wide area network (WAN) is challenging, as continuous parameter exchange by islands of compute is constrained by limited bandwidth, high latency, and uneven topology. We propose making the network an active…

Active Curriculum Refinement for Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2608.26469v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In many reinforcement learning (RL) domains, environments are connected by prerequisite relations, such as difficulty-increasing edits or parameter increments, which induce a directed acyclic curriculum graph (DAG). Although this structure is often exploited only implicitly,…

Algebraic Multigrid Acceleration for Efficient Label Spreading

arXiv:2608.26309v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern machine learning models rely on large amounts of labeled data. However, manual annotation of large-scale datasets is expensive and time-consuming. Label spreading is a semi-supervised learning technique that addresses this challenge by propagating information…

From Accuracy to Auditability: A Survey of Determinism in Financial AI Systems

arXiv:2605.23955v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying machine learning in regulated financial environments — credit risk, fraud detection, and anti-money laundering — exposes critical vulnerabilities in algorithmic reproducibility. While early financial ML addressed statistical challenges such as backtest overfitting, deep neural…
