A simple mean field model of feature learning

arXiv:2510.15174v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Feature learning (FL), where neural networks adapt their internal representations during training, remains poorly understood. Using methods from statistical physics, we derive a tractable, self-consistent mean-field (MF) theory for the Bayesian posterior of two-layer non-linear…

Bayesian Ego-graph inference for Networked Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2509.16606v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In networked multi-agent reinforcement learning (Networked-MARL), decentralized agents must act under local observability and constrained communication over fixed physical graphs. Existing methods often assume static neighborhoods, limiting adaptability to dynamic or heterogeneous environments. While centralized…

Finding geodesics with the Deep Ritz method

arXiv:2510.15177v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Geodesic problems involve computing trajectories between prescribed initial and final states to minimize a user-defined measure of distance, cost, or energy. They arise throughout physics and engineering — for instance, in determining optimal paths through…

Stochastic Optimization with Random Search

arXiv:2510.15610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We revisit random search for stochastic optimization, where only noisy function evaluations are available. We show that the method works under weaker smoothness assumptions than previously considered, and that stronger assumptions enable improved guarantees. In…

Automotive Crash Dynamics Modeling Accelerated with Machine Learning

arXiv:2510.15201v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Crashworthiness assessment is a critical aspect of automotive design, traditionally relying on high-fidelity finite element (FE) simulations that are computationally expensive and time-consuming. This work presents an exploratory comparative study on developing machine learning-based surrogate…

SpeechLLMs for Large-scale Contextualized Zero-shot Slot Filling

arXiv:2510.15851v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Slot filling is a crucial subtask in spoken language understanding (SLU), traditionally implemented as a cascade of speech recognition followed by one or more natural language understanding (NLU) components. The recent advent of speech-based large…
