Calibrated Trust, Not Sharper Prediction: An Empirical Test of Uncertainty Fusion

arXiv:2608.14617v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A recurring proposal in legal AI is to improve case-outcome prediction by fusing uncertainty tools (evidence graphs with belief propagation, sequential Bayesian odds updating, Dempster-Shafer combination, and conformal prediction) into one pipeline. We test this…

PIKFNO: An Interpretable Neural Operator Based on Physics Informed Kernel Function

arXiv:2608.14619v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work proposes a new interpretable neural operator framework, termed the Physics Informed Kernel Function Neural Operator (PIKFNO), which explicitly incorporates physics informed kernel functions derived from governing equations into the neural operator architecture. Unlike…

Solvable Sokoban Without a Solver via Diffusion

arXiv:2608.15958v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deciding whether a Sokoban puzzle is solvable is PSPACE-complete (Culberson, 1997): solutions can be exponentially long and there is no short certificate to check. Solvability is also a fragile property, since even a single misplaced…

DumpsterCluster: From Dumpster Diving to Serving LLaMA-70B on $60 GPUs

arXiv:2608.14614v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As AI datacenters retire functional GPUs, vast quantities of still capable accelerators enter secondary markets. This paper investigates whether these retired GPUs can find a productive afterlife to form a DumpsterCluster that can serve modern…

Improved Regret Analysis for Parallel Gaussian Process Bandit Optimization

arXiv:2608.16492v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper studies the regret analysis for parallel Gaussian process (GP) bandit optimization. The known regret upper bounds for the widely used GP batched upper confidence bound and GP batched Thompson sampling (GP-BTS) suffer from…

Geometry Is Not Robustness: A Trajectory-Level Study of PGD Evaluation

arXiv:2608.14594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Projected Gradient Descent (PGD) is widely used to evaluate adversarial robustness, typically via final adversarial accuracy, which does not capture model behaviour throughout the attack. Recent work proposes trajectory-level diagnostics, such as loss evolution, gradient…

Explaining Reinforcement Learning Decisions in Self-adaptive Systems

arXiv:2608.14620v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been extensively used in autonomous and self-* systems, but RL policies, especially deep RL ones relying on neural networks, lack transparency and are difficult to understand. This can lead to diminished…

DeltaLog: Deferred Materialization of Recurrent States for Linear Attention Decoding

arXiv:2608.15533v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Linear attention models eliminate the quadratic prefix computation and context-growing KV cache of softmax attention by replacing pairwise token interactions with recurrent state updates. However, existing decoding implementations often materialize and write back the full…
