Bridging Theory and Practice in Crafting Robust Spiking Reservoirs

arXiv:2604.06395v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spiking reservoir computing provides an energy-efficient approach to temporal processing, but reliably tuning reservoirs to operate at the edge-of-chaos is challenging due to experimental uncertainty. This work bridges abstract notions of criticality and practical stability…

ODE-free Neural Flow Matching for One-Step Generative Modeling

arXiv:2604.06413v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion and flow matching models generate samples by learning time-dependent vector fields whose integration transports noise to data, requiring tens to hundreds of network evaluations at inference. We instead learn the transport map directly. We…

A solver-in-the-loop framework for end-to-end differentiable coastal hydrodynamics

arXiv:2604.07129v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Numerical simulation of wave propagation and run-up is a cornerstone of coastal engineering and tsunami hazard assessment. However, applying these forward models to inverse problems, such as bathymetry estimation, source inversion, and structural optimization, remains…

Neural Computers

arXiv:2604.06425v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a new frontier: Neural Computers (NCs) — an emerging machine form that unifies computation, memory, and I/O in a learned runtime state. Unlike conventional computers, which execute explicit programs, agents, which act over…

EvoFlows: Evolutionary Edit-Based Flow-Matching for Protein Engineering

arXiv:2603.11703v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce EvoFlows, a variable-length protein sequence-to-sequence modeling approach designed for protein engineering. Existing protein language models are poorly suited for optimization tasks: autoregressive models require full sequence generation, masked language and discrete diffusion models…

Inference-Time Scaling of Diffusion Language Models via Trajectory Refinement

arXiv:2507.08390v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Discrete diffusion models have recently emerged as strong alternatives to autoregressive language models, matching their performance through large-scale training. However, inference-time control remains relatively underexplored. In this work, we study how to steer generation toward…

Tensor-Efficient High-Dimensional Q-learning

arXiv:2511.03595v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: High-dimensional reinforcement learning(RL) faces challenges with complex calculations and low sample efficiency in large state-action spaces. Q-learning algorithms struggle particularly with the curse of dimensionality, where the number of state-action pairs grows exponentially with problem…
