Efficient Reasoning with Balanced Thinking

arXiv:2603.12372v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have shown remarkable reasoning capabilities, yet they often suffer from overthinking, expending redundant computational steps on simple problems, or underthinking, failing to explore sufficient reasoning paths despite inherent capabilities. These issues…

Variational Phasor Circuits for Phase-Native Brain-Computer Interface Classification

arXiv:2603.18078v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present the textbf{Variational Phasor Circuit (VPC)}, a deterministic classical learning architecture operating on the continuous $S^1$ unit circle manifold. Inspired by variational quantum circuits, VPC replaces dense real-valued weight matrices with trainable phase shifts,…

Kernel Single-Index Bandits: Estimation, Inference, and Learning

arXiv:2603.18938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study contextual bandits with finitely many actions in which the reward of each arm follows a single-index model with an arm-specific index parameter and an unknown nonparametric link function. We consider a regime in…

Fast and Effective Computation of Generalized Symmetric Matrix Factorization

arXiv:2603.19147v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we study a nonconvex, nonsmooth, and non-Lipschitz generalized symmetric matrix factorization model that unifies a broad class of matrix factorization formulations arising in machine learning, image science, engineering, and related areas. We…

$mu$LO: Compute-Efficient Meta-Generalization of Learned Optimizers

arXiv:2406.00153v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Learned optimizers (LOs) have the potential to significantly reduce the wall-clock training time of neural networks. However, they can struggle to optimize unseen tasks (meta-generalize), especially when training networks wider than those seen during meta-training.…

Enhancing Reinforcement Learning Fine-Tuning with an Online Refiner

arXiv:2603.18088v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Constraints are essential for stabilizing reinforcement learning fine-tuning (RFT) and preventing degenerate outputs, yet they inherently conflict with the optimization objective because stronger constraints limit the ability of a fine-tuned model to discover better solutions.…

ARTEMIS: A Neuro Symbolic Framework for Economically Constrained Market Dynamics

arXiv:2603.18107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning models in quantitative finance often operate as black boxes, lacking interpretability and failing to incorporate fundamental economic principles such as no-arbitrage constraints. This paper introduces ARTEMIS (Arbitrage-free Representation Through Economic Models and Interpretable…
