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…

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…

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…

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…

Speculative Rollback Correction for Quality-Diverse Web Agent Imitation

arXiv:2606.12485v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Training interactive web agents through imitation learning from expert trajectories has emerged as a highly effective approach. However, determining the optimal timing for expert intervention presents a critical challenge in this context. Delayed intervention often…

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…

ShadowNet for Data-Centric Quantum System Learning

arXiv:2308.11290v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Understanding the dynamics of large quantum systems is hindered by the curse of dimensionality. Statistical learning offers new possibilities in this regime through neural network protocols and classical shadows, while both methods have limitations: the…

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…
