arXiv:2604.15451v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large-scale visual learning is increasingly limited by training cost. Existing knowledge distillation methods transfer from a stronger teacher to a weaker student for compression or final-accuracy improvement. We instead investigate distillation to accelerate the training of strong students. We propose a generalizable plug-and-play recipe that freezes a weaker teacher, applies distillation only in early training, and turns it off once the student reaches and surpasses teacher-level performance. For ImageNet and CIFAR classification, this […]

arXiv:2603.15814v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Longitudinal mammography risk prediction models improve multi-year breast cancer risk prediction based on prior screening exams. However, in real-world clinical practice, longitudinal histories are often incomplete, irregular, or unavailable due to missed screenings, first-time examinations, heterogeneous acquisition schedules, or archival constraints. The absence of prior exams degrades the performance of longitudinal risk models and limits their practical applicability. While substantial longitudinal history is […]

We present a system for training enterprise search agents via reinforcement learning that achieves state-of-the-art performance across a diverse suite of hard-to-verify agentic search tasks. Our work makes four core contributions. First, we introduce KARLBench, a multi-capability evaluation suite spanning six distinct search regimes, including constraint-driven entity search, cross-document report synthesis, tabular numerical reasoning, exhaustive entity retrieval, procedural reasoning over technical documentation, and fact aggregation over internal enterprise notes. Second, we show that models trained across heterogeneous search […]

arXiv:2604.05077v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Metal additive manufacturing (AM) enables the fabrication of safety-critical components, but reliable quality assurance depends on high-fidelity sensor streams containing proprietary process information, limiting collaborative data sharing. Existing defect-detection models typically treat melt-pool observations as independent samples, ignoring layer-wise physical couplings. Moreover, conventional privacy-preserving techniques, particularly Local Differential Privacy (LDP), lead to severe utility degradation because they inject uniform noise across all feature dimensions. To address these interrelated challenges, we propose FI-LDP-HGAT. This […]

The governing equations of stochastic dynamical systems often become cost-prohibitive for numerical simulation at large scales. Surrogate models of the governing equations, learned from data of the high-fidelity system, are routinely used to predict key observables with greater efficiency. However, standard choices of loss function for learning the surrogate model fail to provide error guarantees in path-dependent observables, such as reaction rates of molecular dynamical systems. This paper introduces an error bound for path-space observables and employs it […]

arXiv:2604.07390v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The aggressive densification of modern wireless networks necessitates judicious resource allocation to mitigate severe mutual interference. However, classical iterative algorithms remain computationally prohibitive for real-time applications requiring rapid responsiveness. While recent deep learning-based methods show promise, they typically function as task-specific solvers lacking the flexibility to adapt to different objectives and scenarios without expensive retraining. To address these limitations, we propose a graph foundation model for resource allocation (GFM-RA) based on a pre-training […]

arXiv:2602.02563v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prevailing spatiotemporal prediction models typically operate under a forward (unidirectional) learning paradigm, in which models extract spatiotemporal features from historical observation input and map them to target spatiotemporal space for future forecasting (label). However, these models frequently exhibit suboptimal performance when spatiotemporal discrepancies exist between inputs and labels, for instance, when nodes with similar time-series inputs manifest distinct future labels, or vice versa. To address this limitation, we propose explicitly incorporating label features […]

arXiv:2604.14160v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid digitization of nuclear power plant main control rooms has fundamentally reshaped operator interaction patterns, introducing complex soft-control behaviors and elevated cognitive risks that are not adequately addressed by existing human reliability analysis approaches. Although recent advances in large language models and autonomous agents offer new opportunities for intelligent decision support, their deployment in safety critical environments remains constrained by risks of hallucinated reasoning and weakened human authority. This study proposes NuHF […]

arXiv:2512.04165v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Two pressing topics in the theory of deep learning are the interpretation of feature learning (FL) mechanisms and the determination of implicit bias of networks in the rich regime. Current theories of rich FL often appear in the form of high-dimensional non-linear equations, which require computationally intensive numerical solutions. Given the many details that go into defining a deep learning problem, this analytical complexity is a significant and often unavoidable challenge. Here, we […]
