In-Context Decision Making for Optimizing Complex AutoML Pipelines

arXiv:2508.13657v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Combined Algorithm Selection and Hyperparameter Optimization (CASH) has been fundamental to traditional AutoML systems. However, with the advancements of pre-trained models, modern ML workflows go beyond hyperparameter optimization and often require fine-tuning, ensembling, and other…

EvoFlows: Evolutionary Edit-Based Flow-Matching for Protein Engineering

arXiv:2603.11703v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce EvoFlows, a variable-length protein sequence-to-sequence modeling approach designed for protein engineering. Existing protein language models are poorly suited for optimization tasks: autoregressive models require full sequence generation, masked language and discrete diffusion models…

Inference-Time Scaling of Diffusion Language Models via Trajectory Refinement

arXiv:2507.08390v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Discrete diffusion models have recently emerged as strong alternatives to autoregressive language models, matching their performance through large-scale training. However, inference-time control remains relatively underexplored. In this work, we study how to steer generation toward…

Tensor-Efficient High-Dimensional Q-learning

arXiv:2511.03595v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: High-dimensional reinforcement learning(RL) faces challenges with complex calculations and low sample efficiency in large state-action spaces. Q-learning algorithms struggle particularly with the curse of dimensionality, where the number of state-action pairs grows exponentially with problem…

Gaussian Approximation for Asynchronous Q-learning

arXiv:2604.07323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we derive rates of convergence in the high-dimensional central limit theorem for Polyak-Ruppert averaged iterates generated by the asynchronous Q-learning algorithm with a polynomial stepsize $k^{-omega},, omega in (1/2, 1]$. Assuming that…
