Boosting deep Reinforcement Learning using pretraining with Logical Options

arXiv:2603.06565v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning agents are often misaligned, as they over-exploit early reward signals. Recently, several symbolic approaches have addressed these challenges by encoding sparse objectives along with aligned plans. However, purely symbolic architectures are complex…

Warm Starting State-Space Models with Automata Learning

arXiv:2603.05694v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We prove that Moore machines can be exactly realized as state-space models (SSMs), establishing a formal correspondence between symbolic automata and these continuous machine learning architectures. These Moore-SSMs preserve both the complete symbolic structure and…

Maximizing Asynchronicity in Event-based Neural Networks

arXiv:2505.11165v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Event cameras deliver visual data with high temporal resolution, low latency, and minimal redundancy, yet their asynchronous, sparse sequential nature challenges standard tensor-based machine learning (ML). While the recent asynchronous-to-synchronous (A2S) paradigm aims to bridge…

Unsupervised domain adaptation for radioisotope identification in gamma spectroscopy

arXiv:2603.05719v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training machine learning models for radioisotope identification using gamma spectroscopy remains an elusive challenge for many practical applications, largely stemming from the difficulty of acquiring and labeling large, diverse experimental datasets. Simulations can mitigate this…

Reasoned Safety Alignment: Ensuring Jailbreak Defense via Answer-Then-Check

arXiv:2509.11629v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) continue to advance in capabilities, ensuring their safety against jailbreak attacks remains a critical challenge. In this paper, we introduce a novel safety alignment approach called Answer-Then-Check, which enhances LLM…

Revisiting the (Sub)Optimality of Best-of-N for Inference-Time Alignment

arXiv:2603.05739v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Best-of-N (BoN) sampling is a widely used inference-time alignment method for language models, whereby N candidate responses are sampled from a reference model and the one with the highest predicted reward according to a learned…

KLASS: KL-Guided Fast Inference in Masked Diffusion Models

arXiv:2511.05664v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Masked diffusion models have demonstrated competitive results on various tasks including language generation. However, due to its iterative refinement process, the inference is often bottlenecked by slow and static sampling speed. To overcome this problem,…
