Learning to Play Blackjack: A Curriculum Learning Perspective

arXiv:2604.00076v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents often struggle with efficiency and performance in complex environments. We propose a novel framework that uses a Large Language Model (LLM) to dynamically generate a curriculum over available actions, enabling the…

Speeding Up Mixed-Integer Programming Solvers with Sparse Learning for Branching

arXiv:2604.00094v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning is increasingly used to improve decisions within branch-and-bound algorithms for mixed-integer programming. Many existing approaches rely on deep learning, which often requires very large training datasets and substantial computational resources for both training…

Mousse: Rectifying the Geometry of Muon with Curvature-Aware Preconditioning

arXiv:2603.09697v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in spectral optimization, notably Muon, have demonstrated that constraining update steps to the Stiefel manifold can significantly accelerate training and improve generalization. However, Muon implicitly assumes an isotropic optimization landscape, enforcing a uniform…
