machine learning Oct 16 Twice Upon a Time: Complementary Representations for Time-Series Reasoning The Problem With Single-View Time-Series Language Models Time Series Language Models (TSLMs) promise to bring the reasoning power of large language models to temporal data. They can answer questions, forecast future behavior, and... machine learning Oct 14 Dog-Breed Text-to-image Flow Matching from Pretraining to Fine-Tuning on 4 Consumer GPUs We generally perceive that training text-to-image diffusion models requires heavy compute: it is true if we aim at a comprehensive frontier model. This understanding prevents people from training their own models when getting star... machine learning Oct 14 Two Clocks: Why Larger Rollout Batches Learn Slower but Fail on Schedule in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards RLVR relies on costly model-generated responses, motivating larger rollout batches and square-root learning-rate scaling. Reported to approximately preserve progress per sample with o... machine learning Oct 12 AI Models Can Provably Hide Arbitrary Capabilities Capability evaluations aim to surface dangerous model behaviors before deployment, but their reliability depends on the assumption that hidden capabilities can be elicited. Hickey and colleagues, together with Draguns and team, de... machine learning Oct 12 Designing Protein Structures from Natural Language A central challenge in de novo protein design is generating proteins with desired structural and functional properties. Existing design models typically require a dedicated input representation for each property, limiting the desi... machine learning Oct 12 Prediction Is Not a Sufficient Memory State A memory that reproduces every current prediction may still have forgotten how to learn from the next observation. We characterize this distinction for exact cumulative learning and attention. For smooth convex residual losses wit... machine learning Oct 12 Inference-Time Steering Across Scaffolds and Epitopes for Sample-Efficient De Novo Nanobody Design Generative molecular design typically relies on over-generation and post-hoc filtering. Inference-time steering methods like Feynman-Kac (FK) steering improve efficiency by biasing trajectories toward high-reward candidates, yet t... machine learning Oct 12 Specialists Learn Faster: Knowledge Organization in Pre-training Shapes Knowledge Update Efficiency Language models must continually update their knowledge to remain current. Most existing work focuses on making these post-training updates efficient, but this paper investigates a more foundational question: how the organization... machine learning Oct 12 TabMF: Learning Dataset Representations with Tabular Foundation Models Representations of supervised datasets serve as a foundation for higher-level machine-learning tasks such as dataset retrieval and distribution-shift monitoring. In practice, practitioners have needed reliable ways to characterize... machine learning Oct 12 Spanning Diffusion and Flow-based Posterior Sampling via Exact Gaussian Conditioning Flow-matching and diffusion models have become priors for linear inverse problems, yet most methods remain bespoke to a single class of trajectory prior. Plug-and-play alternatives exist but implicitly decorrelate the guided traje...
