Stein Kernelized Molecular Dynamics for Active Learning of Interatomic Potentials

arXiv:2606.04100v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) enable efficient and accurate atomistic simulations but depend critically on the quality and diversity of the training data. We introduce Stein kernelized molecular dynamics (SKMD), an enhanced sampling method that…

Making Expert Reasoning Learnable with Self-Distillation

arXiv:2602.02405v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Improving the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) typically relies either on the model’s ability to sample a correct solution to be reinforced or the existence of a stronger model able to solve the…

Bayesian learning for the stochastic shortest path problem

arXiv:2606.04845v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential decision-making problems are often modelled as a Markov decision process (MDP). We focus on the stochastic shortest path (SSP) problem, which is an infinite-horizon undiscounted MDP with absorbing terminal states. We develop a Bayesian…

The Perception-Physics Paradox: Probing Scientific Alignment with TC-Bench

arXiv:2605.24782v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) excel at predictive tasks on satellite imagery, their performance can arise from visual correlations rather than underlying structural invariants, making even perception-based out-of-distribution accuracy a poor proxy for scientific utility.…

Bayes-Sufficient Representations in Supervised Learning

arXiv:2606.04045v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Representation learning is often described as preserving the information in an input that is relevant for prediction. This work asks what relevance means for a fixed supervised decision problem. A representation is defined to be…

Unifying Model-Free Efficiency and Model-Based Representations via Latent Dynamics

arXiv:2602.12643v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present Unified Latent Dynamics (ULD), a novel reinforcement learning algorithm that unifies the efficiency of model-free methods with the representational strengths of model-based approaches, without incurring planning overhead. By embedding state-action pairs into a…
