Derivative Informed Learning of Exchange-Correlation Functionals

arXiv:2606. 04279v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine-learned (ML) exchange-correlation (XC) functionals aim to replace human-designed density functional approximations by learning directly from reference data, but they still do not consistently outperform traditional $\mathcal{O}(N^4)$-scaling hybrid functionals.

Unlocking Proactivity in Task-Oriented Dialogue

arXiv:2605. 22240v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Proactive task-oriented dialogue (TOD), such as outbound sales, demands a persuasive agent that actively probes the user's concerns and steers the conversation toward acceptance within a bounded number of turns.

L$^3$: Large Lookup Layers

arXiv:2601. 21461v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern sparse language models typically achieve sparsity through Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers, which dynamically route tokens to dense MLP "experts.
