arXiv:2607. 28428v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce Kohn--Sham Spectral Embedding (KSSE), a physics-inspired energy-based model replacing dense CNN classifiers with a sparse-graph spectral embedding evaluated at the Nishimori temperature of an associated Random-Bond Ising Model.
arXiv:2607. 03503v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-based semi-supervised learning (SSL) propagates a few labels over a similarity graph by minimizing a Dirichlet-type energy.
arXiv:2607. 07032v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Spectral positional encodings (PEs) for \emph{directed} graphs face two obstacles: magnetic Laplacians require an $O(n^3)$ Hermitian eigendecomposition per potential, and their complex eigenvectors are defined only up to unitary gauge, which prior work handles with basis-invariant architectures.

arXiv:2607. 01799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) decompose internal activations of neural networks into sparse linear combinations of learned features by fitting an overcomplete dictionary $\mathbf{W}\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ with $m<n$, and inferring a sparse code $\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^n$ from $\mathbf{h}\approx\mathbf{W}\mathbf{x}$.
arXiv:2606. 04031v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coupled gradient descent--where the update of one parameter block depends on another--underlies bilevel optimization, two-time-scale stochastic approximation, and adversarial training.
arXiv:2607. 07513v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-supervised learning matches supervised accuracy from a fraction of the labels, but the labeled-sample efficiency behind this has lacked a theoretical explanation.
arXiv:2608. 10172v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability explains models by identifying circuits inside them, but has no way to tell whether a circuit is a property of the model or an artifact of the method that found it.
arXiv:2609.15825v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A self-supervised encoder is trained once, frozen, and reused through lightweight probes on tasks nobody named at training time; the practitioner's que...
arXiv:2606. 01443v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A central difficulty in training Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) is preventing representation collapse.
arXiv:2608. 25807v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) replace fixed activations in deep architectures with learnable univariate edge functions, making the choice of edge parametrisation central.
arXiv:2608.21466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We develop spectral algorithms for selecting state-space partitions that define averaging kernels for finite, ergodic and reversible Markov chains. For...
arXiv:2606. 21253v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual learning that is gradient-free, local, online, and append-only is attractive for edge and streaming deployment, but its value is usually argued informally.
