MxGPS: Multiplex Graph Transformers for a Power Grid Foundation Model

Single-task fine-tuning of graph neural networks (GNNs) for power grid problems exhibits a systematic failure mode: models that achieve the lowest in-distribution error degrade the most under topology shift. We term this topology overfitting: the tendency of task-specific gradient signals to encode relational structure particular to the training topologies rather than the underlying physics, causing models to fail on unseen grids despite strong in-distribution performance.

Algebraic Representability as the Limiting Regime of Grokking: An Exactly Solvable Model with Holomorphic Activations

Neural networks trained on modular arithmetic exhibit grokking, a delayed transition from memorisation to generalisation known to depend on model capacity: too little and the network memorises slowly or not at all, too much and it generalises almost immediately. What happens at the extreme of this spectrum, when the architecture's expressible function class collapses to a finite-dimensional algebraic variety?

Optimal and Efficient Contextual Combinatorial Semi-bandits with General Function Approximation

We study the contextual combinatorial semi-bandit (CCSB) problem with general reward function approximation. At each round, the learner observes a context, selects a combinatorial action consisting of a subset of basic arms, and receives the reward of each selected arm; the goal is to maximize the cumulative reward over time.

WAVE-Stereo: Warp-Aligned Volume Encoding for Stereo Matching

Existing iterative stereo matching methods primarily adopt two types of correspondence representation: explicit matching search via correlation volumes and local residual refinement via warped features, yet the two remain separately modeled. We propose WAVE-Stereo, built on a core insight: correlation volumes and feature warping provide complementary matching cues.

Consensus as Privileged Context for Label-Free Self-Distillation

Sampling multiple solutions and returning the majority answer is among the most reliable ways to improve the reasoning accuracy of large language models without labels, and a growing family of methods converts this consensus signal into training supervision. However, existing approaches use consensus only in restricted forms: as a filter that selects solutions for fine-tuning, as a preference between answers, or as a scalar reward for reinforcement learning, discarding most of the information that the agreeing solutions contain.

FastCentNN: Accelerating Centroid Neural Network with Entropy Proxy

Centroid neural network (CentNN) is an unsupervised competitive learning algorithm in which centroid splitting is triggered only after strict local stabilization, often leading to prolonged low-movement training phases before model expansion. This report proposes FastCentNN, an accelerated variant that addresses this inefficiency by introducing an early splitting strategy based on the total centroid movement per epoch, which serves as a training entropy proxy.

Automatic Ordinary Differential Equations Discovery For Biological Systems Using Large Language Model Powered Agentic System

Automatic scientific discovery has long been a goal of computational scholars - a machine that can discover nature's secrets on its own, moving computational systems beyond data-fitting tools toward the generation and refinement of mechanistic models of the universe. Recent advances in symbolic regression (SR) and large-language-model (LLM)-based agents suggest that such systems can recover equations from data, incorporate domain priors, and automate parts of the research workflow.

How Far Can Root Cause Analysis Go on Real-World Telemetry Data?

Identifying root causes in production microservice failures requires reasoning over large-scale, multimodal telemetry spanning metrics, logs, and traces, a problem that has proved resistant to both classical and LLM-based approaches. The OpenRCA dataset exemplifies these challenges: it is large-scale, multimodal, and lacks detailed domain knowledge, and yields consistently low accuracy across all existing methods.
