arXiv:2603.22352v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent progress in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) offers a practical path to self-improvement of language models, but existing methods face a key trade-off: endogenous self-play can drift over iterations, while corpus-grounded approaches rely...
FAAR: Format-Aware Adaptive Rounding for NVFP4
arXiv:2603.22370v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying large language models (LLMs) on edge devices requires extremely low-bit quantization. Ultra-low precision formats such as NVFP4 offer a promising solution for reducing memory footprint and accelerating computation. However, existing quantization methods typically rely...
Rethinking Multimodal Fusion for Time Series: Auxiliary Modalities Need Constrained Fusion
arXiv:2603.22372v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in multimodal learning have motivated the integration of auxiliary modalities such as text or vision into time series (TS) forecasting. However, most existing methods provide limited gains, often improving performance only in specific...
Three Creates All: You Only Sample 3 Steps
arXiv:2603.22375v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models deliver high-fidelity generation but remain slow at inference time due to many sequential network evaluations. We find that standard timestep conditioning becomes a key bottleneck for few-step sampling. Motivated by layer-dependent denoising dynamics,...
Learning When to Act: Interval-Aware Reinforcement Learning with Predictive Temporal Structure
arXiv:2603.22384v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agents operating in continuous environments must decide not only what to do, but when to act. We introduce a lightweight adaptive temporal control system that learns the optimal interval between cognitive ticks from experience,...
Neural Structure Embedding for Symbolic Regression via Continuous Structure Search and Coefficient Optimization
arXiv:2603.22429v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Symbolic regression aims to discover human-interpretable equations that explain observational data. However, existing approaches rely heavily on discrete structure search (e.g., genetic programming), which often leads to high computational cost, unstable performance, and limited scalability...
