GITCO: Gated Inference-Time Context Optimization in TSFMs

arXiv:2606.05332v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Patch-based Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) suffer from context poisoning: structurally anomalous patches capture disproportionate attention and silently degrade zero-shot forecast quality. We propose improving TSFM accuracy at inference time by optimizing the input context…

Quantum enhanced rare event discovery and sampling

arXiv:2606.06316v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Financial crashes, cascading failures in infrastructure, and critical errors in AI systems are frequently triggered by events that occur with extremely small probability. Efficiently discovering and sampling events with probability below a threshold is therefore…

Residual Modeling for High-Fidelity Learned Compression of Scientific Data

arXiv:2606.05389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lossy compression is essential for massive spatiotemporal data from scientific simulations. Learned compressors can achieve high compression ratios at moderate accuracy targets, but their aggregate reconstruction losses do not guarantee accuracy for each block. Existing…

OPRD: On-Policy Representation Distillation

arXiv:2606.06021v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) supervises the student only in output space by matching next-token probabilities. This output-only paradigm has two limits: (1) sampling variance from Monte Carlo KL estimates over large vocabularies (e.g., Qwen’s ~150k tokens)…

Beyond Rewards in Reinforcement Learning for Cyber Defence

arXiv:2602.04809v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in autonomous cyber defence agents trained to defend computer networks using deep reinforcement learning. These agents are typically trained in cyber gym environments using dense, highly engineered…

Query-efficient model evaluation using cached responses

arXiv:2605.07096v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Evaluating a new model on an existing benchmark is often necessary to understand its behavior before deployment. For modern evaluation frameworks, generating and evaluating a response for all queries can be prohibitively expensive. In practice,…
