MAdam: Metric-Aware Multi-Objective Adam

arXiv:2606. 03904v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-objective optimization (MOO) underlies many machine learning problems, yet MOO solvers across the loss-balancing, gradient-balancing, and Pareto-based families almost universally hand their reconciled directions to Adam~\cite{kingma2015adam}.

Spectral DPPs via NEPv: A Scalable Continuous Relaxation of Determinantal MAP for Diversity-Aware Data Selection

arXiv:2606. 19411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selecting a small, diverse, high-quality subset from a massive pool of candidates is a recurring primitive in modern machine learning -- data curation and coreset selection for training and fine-tuning large models, active-learning batch acquisition, prompt and exemplar selection for in-context learning, retrieval diversification, and experimental design.
