Computationally sufficient statistics for Ising models
arXiv:2602.12449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning Gibbs distributions using only sufficient statistics has long been recognized as a computationally hard problem. On the other hand, computationally efficient algorithms for learning Gibbs distributions rely on access to full sample configurations generated...
Continuous Diffusion Models Can Obey Formal Syntax
arXiv:2602.12468v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion language models offer a promising alternative to autoregressive models due to their global, non-causal generation process, but their continuous latent dynamics make discrete constraints -- e.g., the output should be a JSON file that...
Geometric separation and constructive universal approximation with two hidden layers
arXiv:2602.12482v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We give a geometric construction of neural networks that separate disjoint compact subsets of $\Bbb R^n$, and use it to obtain a constructive universal approximation theorem. Specifically, we show that networks with two hidden layers...
On Robustness and Chain-of-Thought Consistency of RL-Finetuned VLMs
arXiv:2602.12506v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) fine-tuning has become a key technique for enhancing large language models (LLMs) on reasoning-intensive tasks, motivating its extension to vision language models (VLMs). While RL-tuned VLMs improve on visual reasoning benchmarks, they...
Bench-MFG: A Benchmark Suite for Learning in Stationary Mean Field Games
arXiv:2602.12517v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The intersection of Mean Field Games (MFGs) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) has fostered a growing family of algorithms designed to solve large-scale multi-agent systems. However, the field currently lacks a standardized evaluation protocol, forcing researchers...
Analytical Results for Two Exponential Family Distributions in Hierarchical Dirichlet Processes
arXiv:2602.12527v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP) provides a flexible Bayesian nonparametric framework for modeling grouped data with a shared yet unbounded collection of mixture components. While existing applications of the HDP predominantly focus on the Dirichlet-multinomial...
Flow-Factory: A Unified Framework for Reinforcement Learning in Flow-Matching Models
arXiv:2602.12529v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning has emerged as a promising paradigm for aligning diffusion and flow-matching models with human preferences, yet practitioners face fragmented codebases, model-specific implementations, and engineering complexity. We introduce Flow-Factory, a unified framework that decouples...
VI-CuRL: Stabilizing Verifier-Independent RL Reasoning via Confidence-Guided Variance Reduction
arXiv:2602.12579v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a dominant paradigm for enhancing Large Language Models (LLMs) reasoning, yet its reliance on external verifiers limits its scalability. Recent findings suggest that RLVR primarily functions...
Coden: Efficient Temporal Graph Neural Networks for Continuous Prediction
arXiv:2602.12613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Temporal Graph Neural Networks (TGNNs) are pivotal in processing dynamic graphs. However, existing TGNNs primarily target one-time predictions for a given temporal span, whereas many practical applications require continuous predictions, that predictions are issued frequently...
Flow Matching from Viewpoint of Proximal Operators
arXiv:2602.12683v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We reformulate Optimal Transport Conditional Flow Matching (OT-CFM), a class of dynamical generative models, showing that it admits an exact proximal formulation via an extended Brenier potential, without assuming that the target distribution has a...
