GENEB: Why Genomic Models Are Hard to Compare

arXiv:2606.04525v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Progress in genomic foundation models is difficult to assess due to fragmented benchmarks, incompatible evaluation protocols, and task-specific reporting. As a result, claims of superiority or generality across models are often not directly comparable. We…

Flatland: The Adventures of Gradient Descent with Large Step Sizes

arXiv:2606.06722v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The training of neural networks often entails objective functions that are not globally $L$-smooth. For these functions, it is both theoretically and practically difficult to reply to the question: what is the largest possible step…

Dash2Sim: Closed-Loop Driving Simulation from in-the-wild Dashcam Videos

arXiv:2606.07366v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-driving simulations typically rely on data collected in a small number of cities or on hand-authored synthetic scenarios. Dashcam videos cover a far broader range of locations and situations, including rare or long-tailed scenarios. They…

Synthics: Synthetic Physics-like Datasets for Machine Learning

arXiv:2606.06724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Representative data is fundamental in machine learning, as limited data hinders generalisation. Collecting sufficient real-world samples is often infeasible. Synthetic data generation offers a practical solution, but only if the generated data faithfully reflects the…

Twelve quick tips for designing AI-driven HPC workflows

arXiv:2606.07491v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-performance computing (HPC) clusters remain the backbone of large-scale scientific computation, traditionally executing deterministic, linear pipelines optimised for predictable performance. However, the pervasive integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and foundation models into scientific research has…

TorchKM: A GPU-Oriented Library for Kernel Learning and Model Selection

arXiv:2606.06742v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: TorchKM is an open-source library for kernel machines, including support vector machines, kernel logistic regression, and kernel quantile regression, with GPU acceleration. The library features a scikit-learn-style API and is designed to exploit GPU-friendly linear…

Modeling AdaGrad, RMSProp, and Adam with Integro-Differential Equations

arXiv:2411.09734v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this paper, we propose a continuous-time formulation for the AdaGrad, RMSProp, and Adam optimization algorithms by modeling them as first-order integro-differential equations. We perform numerical simulations of these equations, along with stability and convergence…

Learn to Match: Two-Sided Matching with Temporally Extended Feedback

arXiv:2606.06744v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Two-sided matching markets often involve information that unfolds over time through interviews, repeated interaction, learning, and separation. Existing matching models typically reduce this process to immediate sub-Gaussian feedback about fixed preferences, missing settings where payoff-relevant…

Performance Variation in Deep Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2606.06746v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms often suffer from low run-to-run robustness, manifesting as significant performance variation across independent runs of identically configured agents. Although this issue poses a spectrum of challenges across research and practice,…
