Molecular Representations in Implicit Functional Space via Hyper-Networks
arXiv:2601.22327v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Molecular representations fundamentally shape how machine learning systems reason about molecular structure and physical properties. Most existing approaches adopt a discrete pipeline: molecules are encoded as sequences, graphs, or point clouds, mapped to fixed-dimensiona...

Knowledge-Informed Kernel State Reconstruction for Interpretable Dynamical System Discovery
arXiv:2601.22328v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recovering governing equations from data is central to scientific discovery, yet existing methods often break down under noisy, partial observations, or rely on black-box latent dynamics that obscure mechanism. We introduce MAAT (Model Aware Approximation of Trajectories)...

Sparks of Rationality: Do Reasoning LLMs Align with Human Judgment and Choice?
arXiv:2601.22329v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly positioned as decision engines for hiring, healthcare, and economic judgment, yet real-world human judgment reflects a balance between rational deliberation and emotion-driven bias. If LLMs are to participate in high-stakes de...

Scalable Batch Correction for Cell Painting via Batch-Dependent Kernels and Adaptive Sampling
arXiv:2601.22331v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cell Painting is a microscopy-based, high-content imaging assay that produces rich morphological profiles of cells and can support drug discovery by quantifying cellular responses to chemical perturbations. At scale, however, Cell Painting data is strongly affected by bat...

DP-$\lambda$CGD: Efficient Noise Correlation for Differentially Private Model Training
arXiv:2601.22334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Differentially private stochastic gradient descent (DP-SGD) is the gold standard for training machine learning models with formal differential privacy guarantees. Several recent extensions improve its accuracy by introducing correlated noise across training iterations. Ma...

Knowledge Gradient for Preference Learning
arXiv:2601.22335v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The knowledge gradient is a popular acquisition function in Bayesian optimization (BO) for optimizing black-box objectives with noisy function evaluations. Many practical settings, however, allow only pairwise comparison queries, yielding a preferential BO problem where d...

From Retrieving Information to Reasoning with AI: Exploring Different Interaction Modalities to Support Human-AI Coordination in Clinical Decision-Making
arXiv:2601.22338v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLMs are popular among clinicians for decision-support because of simple text-based interaction. However, their impact on clinicians' performance is ambiguous. Not knowing how clinicians use this new technology and how they compare it to traditional clinical decision-supp...

MixQuant: Pushing the Limits of Block Rotations in Post-Training Quantization
arXiv:2601.22347v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent post-training quantization (PTQ) methods have adopted block rotations to diffuse outliers prior to rounding. While this reduces the overhead of full-vector rotations, the effect of block structure on outlier suppression remains poorly understood. To fill this gap, ...

Forward-KL Convergence of Time-Inhomogeneous Langevin Diffusions

This motivates a unified non-asymptotic analysis of the corresponding Langevin diffusions and their discretizations. We prov...
