BUILD with Precision: Bottom-Up Inference of Linear DAGs

arXiv:2512.16111v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Learning the structure of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from observational data is a central problem in causal discovery, statistical signal processing, and machine learning. Under a linear Gaussian structural equation model (SEM) with equal noise…

From Privacy to Generalization: Linear Max-Information Bounds for DP-SGD

arXiv:2605.26222v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding the relationship between generalization and privacy remains a central challenge in modern machine learning theory, particularly for deep networks trained by variants of differentially private stochastic gradient descent (DP-SGD). In this work we make…

Rethinking the Trust Region in LLM Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2602.04879v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a cornerstone for fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs), with Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) serving as the de facto standard algorithm. Despite its ubiquity, we argue that the core ratio clipping…

Flow Matching Policy Optimization with Mirror Descent and Entropy Constraints

arXiv:2603.17685v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Balancing policy expressiveness with the exploration-exploitation trade-off is a core challenge in online Reinforcement Learning (RL). While Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE)-based diffusion policies can represent complex, multimodal action distributions, they suffer from two critical limitations:…

Unified Neural Scaling Laws

arXiv:2605.26248v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a functional form (that we refer to as a Unified Neural Scaling Law (UNSL)) that accurately models and extrapolates the scaling behaviors of deep neural networks as multiple dimensions all vary simultaneously (i.e.…
