arXiv:2607. 23751v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The usefulness of a variational autoencoder (VAE) depends on two properties of its latent space that are hard to obtain together: high encoding capacity in the individual latent variables, and a low-dimensional, disentangled organization of those variables.
arXiv:2508. 20330v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Combinatorial optimization problems are ubiquitous in science and engineering.
arXiv:2607. 01275v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) commonly assume a standard isotropic Gaussian prior over the latent space, an assumption that often fails to capture the true distribution of latent representations for complex datasets.
arXiv:2605. 22876v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing neural solvers for Multi-Objective Combinatorial Optimization Problems (MOCOPs) commonly adopt decomposition-based strategies that scalarize a MOCOP into multiple subproblems associated with distinct weight vectors.
arXiv:2606. 09664v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian optimization (BO) is a central tool for sample-efficient design, and latent-space Bayesian optimization (LSBO) extends it to structured objects such as molecules and proteins.
arXiv:2603. 24567v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Constrained optimization in high-dimensional black-box settings is difficult due to expensive evaluations, the lack of gradient information, and complex feasibility regions.
