Analog Optical Inference on Million-Record Mortgage Data

arXiv:2604.13251v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Analog optical computers promise large efficiency gains for machine learning inference, yet no demonstration has moved beyond small-scale image benchmarks. We benchmark the analog optical computer (AOC) digital twin on mortgage approval classification from 5.84…

Heavy-Tailed Class-Conditional Priors for Long-Tailed Generative Modeling

arXiv:2509.02154v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) with global priors trained under an imbalanced empirical class distribution can lead to underrepresentation of tail classes in the latent space. While $t^3$VAE improves robustness via heavy-tailed Student’s $t$-distribution priors, its single…

A Practitioner’s Guide to Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks

arXiv:2510.25781v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs), whose design is inspired-rather than dictated-by the Kolmogorov superposition theorem, have emerged as a structured alternative to MLPs. This review provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of the rapidly expanding KAN literature.…

EMGFlow: Robust and Efficient Surface Electromyography Synthesis via Flow Matching

arXiv:2604.13685v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning-based surface electromyography (sEMG) gesture recognition is frequently bottlenecked by data scarcity and limited subject diversity. While synthetic data generation via Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and diffusion models has emerged as a promising augmentation…

Diffusion Language Models for Speech Recognition

arXiv:2604.14001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion language models have recently emerged as a leading alternative to standard language models, due to their ability for bidirectional attention and parallel text generation. In this work, we explore variants for their use in…
