Gaussian Approximation for Asynchronous Q-learning

arXiv:2604.07323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we derive rates of convergence in the high-dimensional central limit theorem for Polyak-Ruppert averaged iterates generated by the asynchronous Q-learning algorithm with a polynomial stepsize $k^{-omega},, omega in (1/2, 1]$. Assuming that…

RAGEN-2: Reasoning Collapse in Agentic RL

arXiv:2604.06268v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: RL training of multi-turn LLM agents is inherently unstable, and reasoning quality directly determines task performance. Entropy is widely used to track reasoning stability. However, entropy only measures diversity within the same input, and cannot…

SMT-AD: a scalable quantum-inspired anomaly detection approach

arXiv:2604.06265v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum-inspired tensor networks algorithms have shown to be effective and efficient models for machine learning tasks, including anomaly detection. Here, we propose a highly parallelizable quantum-inspired approach which we call SMT-AD from Superposition of Multiresolution…

$S^3$: Stratified Scaling Search for Test-Time in Diffusion Language Models

arXiv:2604.06260v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time scaling investigates whether a fixed diffusion language model (DLM) can generate better outputs when given more inference compute, without additional training. However, naive best-of-$K$ sampling is fundamentally limited because it repeatedly draws from the…

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…

Spectral Edge Dynamics Reveal Functional Modes of Learning

arXiv:2604.06256v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training dynamics during grokking concentrate along a small number of dominant update directions — the spectral edge — which reliably distinguishes grokking from non-grokking regimes. We show that standard mechanistic interpretability tools (head attribution, activation…

FLeX: Fourier-based Low-rank EXpansion for multilingual transfer

arXiv:2604.06253v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-lingual code generation is critical in enterprise environments where multiple programming languages coexist. However, fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) individually for each language is computationally prohibitive. This paper investigates whether parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods and optimizer…
