arXiv:2605.22097v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Photonic quantum computing is a promising platform for scalable quantum machine learning, but designing effective hybrid architectures remains challenging under hardware and optimization constraints. Existing approaches rely on manually tuned architectures that fail to account…
arXiv:2605.21552v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Confidence calibration for classification models is vital in safety-critical decision-making scenarios and has received extensive attention. General confidence calibration methods assume training and test data are independent and identically distributed, limiting their effectiveness under covariate…
arXiv:2605.22355v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Public transit route planning traditionally depends on structured map infrastructure and complex routing engines, and no existing dataset supports training models to bypass this dependency. We present TransitLM, a large-scale dataset of over 13 million…
arXiv:2605.22200v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Achieving high levels of surgical skill through effective training is essential for optimal patient outcomes. Automated, data-driven skill assessment holds significant potential to improve surgical training. While machine learning-based methods are increasingly popular for assessing…
arXiv:2605.22463v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scalable trapped-ion quantum computing is commonly realized with modular chips that feature distinct zones with specific functionalities, such as storage, state preparation, and gate execution. To execute a quantum circuit, the ions must be transported…
arXiv:2511.07885v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) queries are predominantly processed by frontier models in centralized cloud infrastructure. Demand growth strains this paradigm faster than providers can scale. Two advances create an opportunity to rethink it: small, local…
arXiv:2605.19152v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Physical computing systems provide a promising route toward hardware-native machine learning, but their computational capabilities remain difficult to characterize in a principled, task-independent, and data-efficient way. We extend the Information Processing Capacity (IPC) framework to…
arXiv:2603.16077v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Masked diffusion models (MDM) exhibit superior generalization when learned using a Partial masking scheme (Prime). This approach converts tokens into sub-tokens and models the diffusion process at the sub-token level. We identify two limitations of…
arXiv:2605.14738v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent work has promoted task-aware layer pruning as a way to improve model performance on particular tasks, as shown by TALE. In this paper, we investigate when such improvements occur and why. We show first…
arXiv:2605.21516v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Harness engineering has emerged as an important inference-time technique for large language model (LLM) agents, aiming to improve long-term performance through task decomposition and guided execution. However, more elaborate harnesses are not uniformly better: increasing…
