PIVOT: Bridging Black-Scholes Implied-Volatility and Price Objectives via Differentiable J\"ackel Operator

arXiv:2606. 17065v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern option-learning systems operate in two coordinates: price space, where markets quote and no-arbitrage constraints are most naturally enforced, and implied volatility (IV) space, where volatility surfaces are smoothed, regularized, and evaluated.

Werracle: Sub-Cent Intra-Block AI Reflex Oracles and Flash-Loan Circuit Breakers for EVM Smart Contracts

Werracle is a zero‑storage on‑chain AI decision oracle that fits into a single 32‑byte EVM storage slot and uses procedural Mandelbrot dynamics to generate continuous non‑linear decision hyperplanes from a 24‑byte coordinate triplet. Implemented in pure Solidity bytecode with fixed‑point arithmetic, it evaluates a 16‑point Pareto micro‑grid in only 21,438 gas, achieving sub‑millisecond latency on Layer‑2 rollups. The protocol is formally verified with a 1,000‑test deterministic suite and is deployed live on an EVM devnet, demonstrated through a Uniswap v4 dynamic fee governor that adjusts liquidity provider fees in real time.

Asymptotically-informed neural networks for Black-Scholes implied volatility computation

The paper introduces asymptotically-informed neural‑network architectures for computing Black‑Scholes implied volatility. By learning a trainable partition of the price‑log‑moneyness domain and combining specialised local approximations, the models outperform standard feed‑forward networks across a wide range of parameters. The neural‑network outputs also serve as highly accurate initial guesses for a third‑order Householder scheme, enabling near machine‑precision results after only two refinement iterations.

A Per-Component Diagnostic Protocol for Neural HJB-PIDE Solvers under Control-Dependent L\'evy Jumps

arXiv:2606. 01122v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a five-step diagnostic protocol for residual-trained neural HJB-PIDE solvers with control-dependent L\'evy jumps, targeting a general failure mode of neural PDE methods: a learned solution can match headline scalar diagnostics while miscomputing an operator inside its training loss.

To Solve Bilevel Optimization with Nonconvex Lower Levels, We Need Second-Order Stationarity

arXiv:2609. 30501v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Although bilevel optimization (BLO) has emerged as a powerful framework for addressing many complex and nested machine learning problems in recent years, most existing studies are confined to the lower-level strongly convex (LLSC) or lower-level generally convex (LLGC) settings (i.

HiFloat4 Format for End-To-End Reinforcement Learning Post-Training of Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 26515v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present, to our knowledge, the first end-to-end FP4 RL post-training, in which both the rollout and training policies, including their forward and backward passes, operate at 4-bit precision.
