Non-stationary and Varying-discounting Markov Decision Processes for Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2511.17598v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Algorithms developed under stationary Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) often face challenges in non-stationary environments, and infinite-horizon formulations may not directly apply to finite-horizon tasks. To address these limitations, we introduce the Non-stationary and Varying-discounting MDP…

Re(Visiting) Time Series Foundation Models in Finance

arXiv:2511.18578v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Financial time series forecasting is central to trading, portfolio optimization, and risk management, yet it remains challenging due to noisy, non-stationary, and heterogeneous data. Recent advances in time series foundation models (TSFMs), inspired by large…

From Projection to Prediction: Beyond Logits for Scalable Language Models

arXiv:2511.17599v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training Large Language Models (LLMs) typically involves a two-stage pipeline at the output layer: hidden states are projected into vocabulary logits via a linear transformation (lm_head), followed by cross-entropy loss computation against target tokens. While…

Understanding, Accelerating, and Improving MeanFlow Training

arXiv:2511.19065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: MeanFlow promises high-quality generative modeling in few steps, by jointly learning instantaneous and average velocity fields. Yet, the underlying training dynamics remain unclear. We analyze the interaction between the two velocities and find: (i) well-established…

TorchQuantumDistributed

arXiv:2511.19291v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: TorchQuantumDistributed (tqd) is a PyTorch-based [Paszke et al., 2019] library for accelerator-agnostic differentiable quantum state vector simulation at scale. This enables studying the behavior of learnable parameterized near-term and fault- tolerant quantum circuits with high…

Fairness in Streaming Submodular Maximization over a Matroid Constraint

arXiv:2305.15118v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Streaming submodular maximization is a natural model for the task of selecting a representative subset from a large-scale dataset. If datapoints have sensitive attributes such as gender or race, it becomes important to enforce fairness…
