Aligned explanations in neural networks

arXiv:2601.04378v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As artificial intelligence increasingly drives critical decisions, the ability to genuinely explain how neural networks make predictions is essential for trust. Yet, most current explanation methods offer post-hoc rationalizations rather than guaranteeing a true reflection…

Two-Stage Learned Decomposition for Scalable Routing on Multigraphs

arXiv:2605.05389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Most neural methods for Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs) are limited to Euclidean settings or simple graphs. In this work, we instead consider multigraphs, where parallel edges represent distinct travel options with varying trade-offs (e.g., distance…

The Effects of Visual Priming on Cooperative Behavior in Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2604.27953v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As Vision-Language Models (VLMs) become increasingly integrated into decision-making systems, it is essential to understand how visual inputs influence their behavior. This paper investigates the effects of visual priming on VLMs’ cooperative behavior using the…

Pretrained Event Classification Model for High Energy Physics Analysis

arXiv:2412.10665v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a foundation model for event classification in high-energy physics, built on a Graph Neural Network architecture and trained on 120 million simulated proton-proton collision events spanning 12 distinct physics processes. The model is…

Dense Neural Networks are not Universal Approximators

arXiv:2602.07618v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We investigate the approximation capabilities of dense neural networks. While universal approximation theorems establish that sufficiently large architectures can approximate arbitrary continuous functions if there are no restrictions on the weight values, we show that…

Amortized Vine Copulas for High-Dimensional Density and Information Estimation

arXiv:2604.20568v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modeling high-dimensional dependencies while keeping likelihoods tractable remains challenging. Classical vine-copula pipelines are interpretable but can be expensive, while many neural estimators are flexible but less structured. In this work, we propose Vine Denoising Copula…

High entropy leads to symmetry equivariant policies in Dec-POMDPs

arXiv:2511.22581v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We prove that in any Dec-POMDP, sufficiently high entropy regularization ensures that the policy gradient flow with tabular softmax parametrization always converges, for any initialization, to the same joint policy, and that this joint policy…
