Consequentialist Objectives and Catastrophe

arXiv:2603.15017v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Because human preferences are too complex to codify, AIs operate with misspecified objectives. Optimizing such objectives often produces undesirable outcomes; this phenomenon is known as reward hacking. Such outcomes are not necessarily catastrophic. Indeed, most…

The Geometry of Efficient Nonconvex Sampling

arXiv:2603.25622v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present an efficient algorithm for uniformly sampling from an arbitrary compact body $mathcal{X} subset mathbb{R}^n$ from a warm start under isoperimetry and a natural volume growth condition. Our result provides a substantial common generalization…

Flow matching on homogeneous spaces

arXiv:2603.24829v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a general framework to extend Flow Matching to homogeneous spaces, i.e. quotients of Lie groups. Our approach reformulates the problem as a flow matching task on the underlying Lie group by lifting the…

Density Ratio-Free Doubly Robust Proxy Causal Learning

arXiv:2505.19807v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the problem of causal function estimation in the Proxy Causal Learning (PCL) framework, where confounders are not observed but proxies for the confounders are available. Two main approaches have been proposed: outcome bridge-based…
