Mechanism-Aware Ensemble Conditioning for Data-Limited Emulation of Extreme Events

The paper introduces a mechanism‑aware conditioning framework that uses a nudged coarse ensemble to capture local instability geometry in chaotic systems. By injecting ensemble covariance statistics via a small FiLM module, the authors enhance rare‑event emulation in both a low‑dimensional chaotic benchmark and a quasi‑geostrophic flow model, achieving significant improvements in exceedance‑frequency and tail‑density errors with limited data. The approach demonstrates that local instability information can be leveraged as a practical conditioning signal for data‑efficient emulation of extreme events.

AI Emulation of Stochastic Sudden Stratospheric Warming with Interpretable Latent Structure

The paper presents a probabilistic deep learning emulator—a ResNet‑inspired Conditional Variational Autoencoder—for the stochastic Holton–Mass model of stratospheric variability, which exhibits rare transitions between strong and weak polar vortex regimes. The emulator accurately reproduces short‑term dynamics, steady‑state distributions, regime persistence, rare transition rates, the committor function, and expected lead times. Analysis of the 32‑dimensional latent space via PCA reveals an unsupervised separation into four physically interpretable clusters that correspond to the two vortex regimes and their stable or transition‑prone states.

OOD-RL-Bench: A Benchmark Framework for Out-of-Distribution Detection in Reinforcement Learning

Reliable reinforcement learning (RL) agents must maintain operational integrity amidst sensor malfunctions, dynamic disturbances, and slow environmental shifts. The detection of out-of-distribution conditions is pivotal to determining when an agent's observations, transitions, or trajectory dynamics deviate from the assumptions underpinning its policy training.

Learning the Koopman Operator using Attention Free Transformers

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.
