Diffusion Alignment as Variational Expectation-Maximization

arXiv:2510.00502v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion alignment aims to optimize diffusion models for the downstream objective. While existing methods based on reinforcement learning or direct backpropagation achieve considerable success in maximizing rewards, they often suffer from reward over-optimization and mode…

EDIS: Diagnosing LLM Reasoning via Entropy Dynamics

arXiv:2602.01288v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Entropy-based confidence signals are increasingly leveraged to improve reasoning in large language models (LLMs), yet existing approaches treat confidence as a static quantity — typically aggregated over tokens. We show that the emph{temporal evolution} of…

Bias In, Bias Out? Finding Unbiased Subnetworks in Vanilla Models

arXiv:2603.05582v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The issue of algorithmic biases in deep learning has led to the development of various debiasing techniques, many of which perform complex training procedures or dataset manipulation. However, an intriguing question arises: is it possible…

On the Value of Tokeniser Pretraining in Physics Foundation Models

arXiv:2603.05598v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate the impact of tokeniser pretraining on the accuracy and efficiency of physics emulation. Modern high-resolution simulations produce vast volumes of data spanning diverse physical regimes and scales. Training foundation models to learn the…

Identifying Adversary Characteristics from an Observed Attack

arXiv:2603.05625v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When used in automated decision-making systems, machine learning (ML) models are vulnerable to data-manipulation attacks. Some defense mechanisms (e.g., adversarial regularization) directly affect the ML models while others (e.g., anomaly detection) act within the broader…
