Robotically assembled building blocks could make construction more efficient and sustainable
New research suggests constructing a simple building from interlocking subunits should be mechanically feasible and have a much smaller carbon footprint.
DNNs, Dataset Statistics, and Correlation Functions
arXiv:2511.21715v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper argues that dataset structure is important in image recognition tasks (among other tasks). Specifically, we focus on the nature and genesis of correlational structure in the actual datasets upon which DNNs are trained.…
BARD: Bridging AutoRegressive and Diffusion Vision-Language Models Via Highly Efficient Progressive Block Merging and Stage-Wise Distillation
arXiv:2604.16514v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autoregressive vision-language models (VLMs) deliver strong multimodal capability, but their token-by-token decoding imposes a fundamental inference bottleneck. Diffusion VLMs offer a more parallel decoding paradigm, yet directly converting a pretrained autoregressive VLM into a large-block…
LongFlow: Efficient KV Cache Compression for Reasoning Models
arXiv:2603.11504v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent reasoning models such as OpenAI-o1 and DeepSeek-R1 have shown strong performance on complex tasks including mathematical reasoning and code generation. However, this performance gain comes with substantially longer output sequences, leading to significantly increased…
Always Tell Me The Odds: Fine-grained Conditional Probability Estimation
arXiv:2505.01595v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present a state-of-the-art model for fine-grained probability estimation of propositions conditioned on context. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have significantly enhanced their reasoning capabilities, particularly on well-defined tasks with complete information. However,…
Decoding the mechanisms of the Hattrick football manager game using Bayesian network structure learning
arXiv:2504.09499v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Hattrick is a free web-based probabilistic football manager game with over 200,000 users competing for titles at national and international levels. Launched in Sweden in 1997 as part of an MSc project, the game’s slow-paced…
LILogic Net: Compact Logic Gate Networks with Learnable Connectivity for Efficient Hardware Deployment
arXiv:2511.12340v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Efficient machine learning deployment requires models that account for hardware constraints. Because binary logic gates are the fundamental primitives of digital hardware, models built directly from logic operations offer a promising path toward highly energy-efficient…
AutoCompress: Critical Layer Isolation for Efficient Transformer Compression
arXiv:2604.22786v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present AutoCompress, a transformer compression method motivated by an empirical finding: in small transformers, Layer 0 carries disproportionately high task-critical information, with an NTK-based importance score of 3.6 compared to a maximum of 0.054…
Extreme bandits
arXiv:2604.24545v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In many areas of medicine, security, and life sciences, we want to allocate limited resources to different sources in order to detect extreme values. In this paper, we study an efficient way to allocate these…
