Rate-Distortion Optimization for Transformer Inference

arXiv:2601.22002v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformers achieve superior performance on many tasks, but impose heavy compute and memory requirements during inference. This inference can be made more efficient by partitioning the process across multiple devices, which, in turn, requires compressing…

Machine Learning Based Prediction of Proton Conductivity in Metal-Organic Frameworks

arXiv:2407.09514v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated their potential as solid-state electrolytes in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. However, the number of MOFs reported to exhibit proton conductivity remains limited, and the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon…

Instance-Adaptive Parametrization for Amortized Variational Inference

arXiv:2604.06796v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Variational autoencoders (VAEs) rely on amortized variational inference to enable efficient posterior approximation, but this efficiency comes at the cost of a shared parametrization, giving rise to the amortization gap. We propose the instance-adaptive variational…

Positive-Only Drifting Policy Optimization

arXiv:2604.16519v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the field of online reinforcement learning (RL), traditional Gaussian policies and flow-based methods are often constrained by their unimodal expressiveness, complex gradient clipping, or stringent trust-region requirements. Moreover, they all rely on post-hoc penalization…
