Tensor-Accelerated Eager Multi-Resolution Grids for Evolving Large-Scale Substrates

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces EMR‑HyperNEAT, an eager multi‑resolution grid approach that replaces the recursive quadtree subdivision of ES‑HyperNEAT with a parallelizable evaluation of all grid positions followed by a variance‑based filter. This reformulation removes sequential dependencies, enabling efficient batching across cores and population members, and reduces computational complexity from <O(4^D)> to <O(4^D/P)>. Experiments show 12–34× GPU speedups at depths 5–7 on XOR and higher solve rates across benchmarks.

DanLing NestedTensor: Composable Multi-Ragged Tensors for Deep Learning

DanLing NestedTensor is a PyTorch tensor abstraction that embeds multi‑ragged structure directly into the tensor, allowing packed values to carry partition information and logical dimension order. This design enables broadcasting, feature transformations, and reductions to automatically respect ragged axes while preserving the same representation through autograd and both eager and compiled execution. Benchmarks on an A100 show significant speedups—up to 3.39× over padding for BERT models and 2.40–4.32× for a Pairformer‑style workload—while dramatically reducing peak memory usage.

Cost Accounting for Reactive Computational Graphs: Exhaustive Sweeps, Sequential Mutation, and the Backward-Locality Gap

arXiv:2607. 18323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Exhaustive site-by-site interventions on a neural network's computational graph -- activation-patching sweeps, circuit-discovery searches, systematic ablation studies -- mutate the graph at every candidate site, and their cost is dominated by recomputation after each mutation.

MiniMax Sparse Attention

arXiv:2606. 13392v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ultra-long-context capability is becoming indispensable for frontier LLMs: agentic workflows, repository-scale code reasoning, and persistent memory all require the model to jointly attend over hundreds of thousands to millions of tokens, yet the quadratic cost of softmax attention makes this untenable at deployment scale.
