arXiv:2606. 23957v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning Koopman operators with autoencoders enables linear prediction in a latent space, but long-horizon rollouts often drift off the learned manifold, leading to phase and amplitude errors on systems with switching, continuous spectra, or strong transients.

arXiv:2608. 01130v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A broad range of models face the mismatch where they are updated through trajectory losses but are evaluated by downstream task reward.

The study introduces RegimeShift‑Surrogates, a streaming benchmark that tests surrogate models across eight tasks and multiple regimes. It compares revalidation—choosing the model with lowest current‑window validation loss—to stateful adaptive controllers and finds that revalidation consistently outperforms stateful methods, achieving lower mean log regret in most task‑scenario combinations. The results suggest that fresh validation evidence is more valuable than carrying over past evidence when dealing with distribution shifts.

HERO is a method that improves large language models for program generation by combining offline and test‑time harness optimization. It learns reusable prompt updates from execution‑verified successes and failures, validates candidate revisions before adoption, and then refines each generated code instance using execution feedback. On four SQL, Cypher, and Python benchmarks, HERO achieves the best offline performance, raising pass@1 by 7.6 points over the initial prompt and adding another 2.0 points through test‑time refinement while improving execution efficiency.
