Scalable Contrastive Causal Discovery under Unknown Soft Interventions

This paper proposes a scalable, contrastive causal discovery model that leverages paired observational and single-regime soft interventional data to construct globally consistent causal structures, theoretically proving its ability to recover identifiable edges and outperform non-contrastive methods in both in-distribution and out-of-distribution scenarios.

[Re] FairDICE: A Gap Between Theory And Practice

This replication study of FairDICE, a multi-objective offline reinforcement learning algorithm, reveals that while its theoretical claims hold, a critical code error initially reduced it to standard behavior cloning and underspecified hyperparameters hindered reproducibility, though corrected experiments demonstrate its potential to scale to complex environments despite a reliance on online tuning.

Half the Nonlinearity Is Wasted: Measuring and Reallocating the Transformer's MLP Budget

This paper demonstrates that a significant portion of transformer MLP nonlinearity is redundant and context-dependent, showing that a lightweight gating mechanism can dynamically replace these computations with linear surrogates to reduce computational waste or, when applied strategically with full retraining, actively improve model performance by eliminating harmful nonlinearities.

When Small Variations Become Big Failures: Reliability Challenges in Compute-in-Memory Neural Accelerators

This paper addresses the critical reliability challenges in Compute-in-Memory neural accelerators caused by device non-idealities by demonstrating the disproportionate impact of small variations on safety-critical workloads and proposing cross-layer solutions, including a selective write-verify mechanism (SWIM) and noise-aware training, to ensure robust and efficient deployment.
