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. 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:2606. 01227v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many networks not only support but also rely on transient non-normal amplification, an orders-of-magnitude increase in the activity of an otherwise stable system.

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.

arXiv:2602. 20376v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of maximizing a complex-valued quadratic form over the $K^{\text{th}}$ roots of unity.

arXiv:2607. 04535v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Orthogonal and Stiefel layers give neural weights exact spectral control, but they also impose a strong modeling constraint: all represented singular values are fixed at one.

arXiv:2605. 20440v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Symmetry is central to the physical sciences, yet machine learning usually captures it only approximately, leaving a residual per-step equivariance error $\varepsilon$ that compounds with depth $M$ as $M\varepsilon$, whereas exact equivariance holds at unbounded depth; we demonstrate this divergence at fourteen orders of magnitude.

arXiv:2607. 06621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The pre-softmax score of an attention head is a bilinear form $score(i,j) = x_i^T M x_j$ in a learned operator $M = W_q^T W_k$.

arXiv:2607. 13609v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recovering a latent potential from observed flow on a directed graph (a discrete Poisson problem with Dirichlet boundaries) is ill-posed, and the standard fix backfires: ridge regularization shrinks toward a gauge-meaningless origin, collapsing and reversing the recovered ordering ($+0.

arXiv:2608. 05136v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gradient descent on a factored model $W = UV^\top$ is implicitly biased toward low-rank solutions, while Adam, starting from the same small initialization, is not.

arXiv:2505. 10882v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Principal component analysis classically requires full $d$-dimensional samples, yet in various applications hardware limits acquisition to a few scalar measurements per sample.
