arXiv:2605.30452v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many machine learning problems involve multiple inherent trade-offs that are best addressed by gradient-based multi-objective optimization (MOO) algorithms. Existing methods are often proposed with various motivations, analyzed case by case, and differ algorithmically in how…
arXiv:2605.17373v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI research agents accelerate ML research by automating hypothesis generation, experimentation, and empirical refinement. Existing agent strategies range from greedy hill-climbing to tree search and evolutionary optimization, yet which strategy choices drive performance remains unclear.…
arXiv:2511.17380v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep learning (DL) models, despite their remarkable success, remain vulnerable to small input perturbations that can cause erroneous outputs, motivating the recent proposal of probabilistic robustness (PR) as a complementary alternative to adversarial robustness (AR).…
arXiv:2603.26506v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Connectivity structure shapes neural computation, but inferring this structure from population recordings is degenerate: multiple connectivity structures can generate identical dynamics. Recent work uses low-rank recurrent neural networks (lrRNNs) to infer low-dimensional latent dynamics and…
arXiv:2604.01985v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: General-purpose world models promise scalable policy evaluation, optimization, and planning, yet achieving the required level of robustness remains challenging. Unlike policy learning which primarily focuses on optimal actions, a world model needs to be reliable…
arXiv:2605.26502v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The inverse problem of multilayer thin-film optical coatings design represents a complex combinatorial-continuous optimization challenge. We present PRISM (Position-encoded Regressive Inverse Spectral Model), a unified decoder-only autoregressive transformer that streamlines this process by jointly predicting…
arXiv:2601.19448v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Deep Neural Networks remain inherently vulnerable to backdoor attacks. Traditional test-time defenses largely operate under the paradigm of internal diagnosis methods like model repairing or input robustness, yet these approaches are often fragile under advanced…
arXiv:2602.08964v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Understanding an agent’s goals helps explain and predict its behaviour, yet there is no established methodology for reliably attributing goals to agentic systems. We propose a framework for evaluating goal-directedness that integrates behavioural evaluation with…
arXiv:2605.30393v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Public numeric benchmarks appear in pretraining, so an evaluation that conditions on a date may be measuring memorized recall rather than out-of-sample skill. We introduce NumLeak, a measurement framework that combines API-boundary probes on production…
arXiv:2508.18730v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Estimating the quality of register transfer level (RTL) designs is crucial in the electronic design automation (EDA) workflow, as it enables instant feedback on key performance metrics like area and delay without the need for…
