Hybrid Quantum-Classical Neural Networks for Few-Shot Credit Risk Assessment

arXiv:2509.13818v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum Machine Learning (QML) offers a new paradigm for addressing complex financial problems intractable for classical methods. This work specifically tackles the challenge of few-shot credit risk assessment, a critical issue in inclusive finance where…

Evolution Meets Diffusion: Efficient Neural Architecture Generation

arXiv:2504.17827v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Neural Architecture Search (NAS) has gained widespread attention for its transformative potential in deep learning model design. However, the vast and complex search space of NAS leads to significant computational and time costs. Neural Architecture…

When Truthful Representations Flip Under Deceptive Instructions?

arXiv:2507.22149v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) tend to follow maliciously crafted instructions to generate deceptive responses, posing safety challenges. How deceptive instructions alter the internal representations of LLM compared to truthful ones remains poorly understood beyond output…

Graph-Regularized Learning of Gaussian Mixture Models

arXiv:2509.13855v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a graph-regularized learning of Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) in distributed settings with heterogeneous and limited local data. The method exploits a provided similarity graph to guide parameter sharing among nodes, avoiding the transfer…

Masked Diffusion Models as Energy Minimization

arXiv:2509.13866v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a systematic theoretical framework that interprets masked diffusion models (MDMs) as solutions to energy minimization problems in discrete optimal transport. Specifically, we prove that three distinct energy formulations–kinetic, conditional kinetic, and geodesic energy–are…
