Contrastive Learning Boosts Deterministic and Generative Models for Weather Data

arXiv:2603.24744v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Weather data, comprising multiple variables, poses significant challenges due to its high dimensionality and multimodal nature. Creating low-dimensional embeddings requires compressing this data into a compact, shared latent space. This compression is required to improve…

Grokking as a Falsifiable Finite-Size Transition

arXiv:2603.24746v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Grokking — the delayed onset of generalization after early memorization — is often described with phase-transition language, but that claim has lacked falsifiable finite-size inputs. Here we supply those inputs by treating the group order…

Light Cones For Vision: Simple Causal Priors For Visual Hierarchy

arXiv:2603.24753v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Standard vision models treat objects as independent points in Euclidean space, unable to capture hierarchical structure like parts within wholes. We introduce Worldline Slot Attention, which models objects as persistent trajectories through spacetime worldlines, where…

Debugging Concept Bottleneck Models through Removal and Retraining

arXiv:2509.21385v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) use a set of human-interpretable concepts to predict the final task label, enabling domain experts to not only validate the CBM’s predictions, but also intervene on incorrect concepts at test time.…

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…
