Frozen in Time: How a Physics Foundation Model Forgets Under Sim-to-Real Adaptation

Scientific foundation models (SciFMs) have achieved remarkable performance on a wide range of PDEs, including the ability to efficiently adapt to unseen data distributions with additional finetuning. As with all neural architectures, finetuning such models comes with the risk of catastrophic forgetting, whereby…

FARO: Function-Space Adaptive Return-to-Risk Optimization via Cross-Block Equal-Risk-Contribution Budget Allocation

Training a large language model is compute-bound, and current recipes divide the work between optimizers by hand: orthogonalized momentum for attention and MLP matrices, Adam-style updates for the rest. This division rests on human priors about which layer type deserves which geometry, and it fixes a single global…

Near-Optimal First-Order Regret for Bandits with Feedback Graphs

We study first-order regret guarantees for adversarial bandits with a fixed, known directed feedback graph. For strongly observable graphs, [ACBDK15] establishes a minimax regret of $\widetilde{\Theta}(\sqrt{\alpha T})$, where $\alpha$ denotes the independence number of the graph and $T$ denotes the horizon. On the…

TensorSSM: Memorizing Spatial Position in Dynamic State Space for Tensor Core Generation

High-dimensional tensors are ubiquitous in real-world applications but lead to massive storage overhead. Functional tensor decomposition addresses this by employing neural networks to map element coordinates to tensor cores, significantly reducing the parameters for data compression. However, existing functional…
