Chiseling: Powerful and Valid Subgroup Selection via Interactive Machine Learning
In regression and causal inference, controlled subgroup selection aims to identify, with inferential guarantees, a subgroup (defined as a subset of the covariate space) on which the average response or treatment effect is above a given threshold. E.g., in a clinical trial, it may be of interest to find a subgroup with a positive average treatment effect. However, existing methods either lack inferential guarantees, heavily restrict the search for the subgroup, or sacrifice efficiency by naive d…

Ground Stratification for a Logic of Definitions with Induction
The logic underlying the Abella proof assistant includes mechanisms for interpreting atomic predicates through fixed point definitions that can additionally be treated inductively or co-inductively.

Active Subspaces in Infinite Dimension
Active subspace analysis uses the leading eigenspace of the gradient's second moment to conduct supervised dimension reduction. In this article, we extend this methodology to real-valued functionals on Hilbert space. We define an operator which coincides with the active subspace matrix when applied to a Euclidean space. We show that many of the desirable properties of Active Subspace analysis extend directly to the infinite dimensional setting. We also propose a Monte Carlo procedure and discus…

Dynamical systems in the life sciences are often composed of complex mixtures of overlapping behavioral regimes. Cellular subpopulations may shift from cycling to equilibrium dynamics or branch towards different developmental fates. The transitions between these regimes can appear noisy and irregular, posing a serious challenge to traditional, flow-based modeling techniques which assume locally smooth dynamics. To address this challenge, we propose MODE (Mixture Of Dynamical Experts), a graphic…

Does Weighting Improve Matrix Factorization for Recommender Systems?
Matrix factorization is a widely used approach for top-N recommendation and collaborative filtering. When implemented on implicit feedback data (such as clicks), a common heuristic is to upweight the observed interactions. This strategy has been shown to improve performance for certain algorithms. In this paper, we conduct a systematic study of various weighting schemes and matrix factorization algorithms. Somewhat surprisingly, we find that training with unweighted data can perform comparably …

Steadily shearing a non-Brownian suspension forms a memory of direction in its structure, while periodically shearing it forms a memory of amplitude. Our experiments show that these memories coexist and compete within a limited memory capacity. A specific oscillatory amplitude, previously associated with a critical transition, suppresses the directional (fore-aft) asymmetry. A similar picture is known in amorphous solids. We propose that these competing kinds of memory are a motif for non-equil…

Fermions can be simulated on qubit-based quantum computers using a fermion-to-qubit mapping, subject to an overhead -- the circuit depth on a qubit quantum computer divided by that on a quantum computer built from native fermionic modes -- at worst scaling linearly with the number of modes $N$.

On Thompson Sampling and Bilateral Uncertainty in Additive Bayesian Optimization
In Bayesian Optimization (BO), additive assumptions can mitigate the twin difficulties of modeling and searching a complex function in high dimension. However, common acquisition functions, like the Additive Lower Confidence Bound, ignore pairwise covariances between dimensions, which we'll call \textit{bilateral uncertainty} (BU), imposing a second layer of approximations. While theoretical results indicate that asymptotically not much is lost in doing so, little is known about the practical e…

Neural correlates of perceptual consciousness from within: a narrative review of human intracranial research
Despite many years of research, the quest to identify neural correlates of perceptual consciousness (NCC) remains unresolved.

Additionally, the relatively low sensitivity of non-invasive neural measures limits the interpretation of null findings in studies targeting…

Exploiting multiscale self-organization in neuroscience and artificial intelligence requires a computational framework for modeling the effective non-equilibrium dynamics of stochastic neural trajectories. Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and representational geometry offer theoretical foundations, but we need scalable data-driven techniques for modeling collective properties of high-dimensional neural networks from partia…

The evolution of the bar fraction and bar lengths in the last 12 billion years
We investigate the evolution of the bar fraction and length using an extended JWST NIRCam imaging dataset of galaxies in the $1 \leq z \leq 4$ redshift range. We assess the wavelength dependence of the bar fraction in disc galaxies and bar length evolution by selecting a nearly mass-complete CEERS disc sample and performing independent visual classifications on the short (F200W) and long (F356W+F444W) wavelength channels. A similar bar fraction is observed for both samples, and combined we find…

Mapping surface height dynamics to subsurface flow physics in free-surface turbulent flow using a shallow recurrent decoder
Near-surface turbulent flows beneath a free surface are reconstructed from sparse measurements of the surface height variation, by a novel neural network algorithm known as the SHallow REcurrent Decoder (SHRED). The reconstruction of turbulent flow fields from limited, partial, or indirect measurements remains a grand challenge in science and engineering. The central goal in such applications is to leverage easy-to-measure proxy variables in order to estimate quantities which have not been, and…

A Probabilistic Basis for Low-Rank Matrix Learning
Low rank inference on matrices is widely conducted by optimizing a cost function augmented with a penalty proportional to the nuclear norm $\Vert \cdot \Vert_*$. However, despite the assortment of computational methods for such problems, there is a surprising lack of understanding of the underlying probability distributions being referred to. In this article, we study the distribution with density $f(X)\propto e^{-λ\Vert X\Vert_*}$, finding many of its fundamental attributes to be analytically…

DiFFPO: Training Diffusion LLMs to Reason Fast and Furious via Reinforcement Learning
We propose DiFFPO, Diffusion Fast and Furious Policy Optimization, a unified framework for training masked diffusion large language models (dLLMs) to reason not only better (furious), but also faster via reinforcement learning (RL). We first unify the existing baseline approach such as d1 by proposing to train surrogate policies via off-policy RL, whose likelihood is much more tractable as an approximation to the true dLLM policy. This naturally motivates a more accurate and informative two-sta…

Circular Dichroism without absorption in isolated chiral dielectric Mie particles
We demonstrate that an effect phenomenologically analogous to circular dichroism can arise even for dielectric and isotropic chiral spherical particles. By analyzing the polarimetry of light scattered from a chiral, lossless microsphere illuminated with linearly polarized light, we show that the scattered light becomes nearly circularly polarized, exhibiting large, nonresonant values of the Stokes parameter $S_3$ for a broad range of visible frequencies. This phenomenon occurs only in the Mie r…

Dissecting Larval Zebrafish Hunting using Deep Reinforcement Learning Trained RNN Agents
Larval zebrafish hunting provides a tractable setting to study how ecological and energetic constraints shape adaptive behavior in both biological brains and artificial agents. Here we develop a minimal agent-based model, training recurrent policies with deep reinforcement learning in a bout-based zebrafish simulator. Despite its simplicity, the model reproduces hallmark hunting behaviors -- including eye vergence-linked pursuit, speed modulation, and stereotyped approach trajectories -- that c…

Entropy After $\langle \texttt{/Think} \rangle$ for reasoning model early exiting
Large reasoning models show improved performance with longer chains of thought. However, recent work has highlighted (qualitatively) their tendency to overthink, continuing to revise answers even after reaching the correct solution. We quantitatively confirm this inefficiency by tracking Pass@1 for answers averaged over a large number of rollouts and find that the model often begins to always produce the correct answer early in the reasoning, making extra reasoning a waste of tokens. To detect …

Learning Admissible Heuristics for A*: Theory and Practice
Heuristic functions are central to the performance of search algorithms such as A-star, where admissibility - the property of never overestimating the true shortest-path cost - guarantees solution optimality. Recent deep learning approaches often disregard admissibility and provide limited guarantees on generalization beyond the training data. This paper addresses both of these limitations. First, we pose heuristic learning as a constrained optimization problem and introduce Cross-Entropy Admis…

Inverse Reinforcement Learning Using Just Classification and a Few Regressions
Inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) aims to explain observed behavior by uncovering an underlying reward. In the maximum-entropy or Gumbel-shocks-to-reward frameworks, this amounts to fitting a reward function and a soft value function that together satisfy the soft Bellman consistency condition and maximize the likelihood of observed actions. While this perspective has had enormous impact in imitation learning for robotics and understanding dynamic choices in economics, practical learning alg…
