Implicit Bias of Per-sample Adam on Separable Data: Departure from the Full-batch Regime

This paper demonstrates that the implicit bias of per-sample Adam on separable data can deviate from the full-batch \ell_\infty-max-margin behavior, potentially converging to the 2\ell_2-max-margin classifier or a data-adaptive Mahalanobis-norm margin depending on the dataset, whereas Signum consistently converges to the \ell_\infty-max-margin regardless of batch size.

CNFP: Optimizing Cloud-Native Network Function Placement with Diffusion Models on the Cloud Continuum

This paper proposes CNFP, a novel diffusion-based framework that leverages Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models and Graph Neural Networks to efficiently generate feasible, high-quality placements for Cloud-Native Network Functions across the cloud continuum, overcoming the scalability and generalization limitations of traditional optimization methods.

Better audio representations are more brain-like: linking model-brain alignment with performance in downstream auditory tasks

This study demonstrates that recent self-supervised audio models with superior performance on diverse downstream tasks exhibit stronger alignment with human auditory cortex activity, suggesting that brain-like representations emerge naturally as a byproduct of learning to reconstruct naturalistic audio data.

Deterministic Coreset for Lp Subspace

This paper presents the first deterministic iterative algorithm for constructing an ε\varepsilon-coreset that guarantees p\ell_p subspace embedding for any p[1,)p \in [1,\infty), achieving an optimal size of O(dmax{1,p/2}/ε2)O(d^{\max\{1,p/2\}}/\varepsilon^2) by removing previously necessary logarithmic factors and enabling deterministic solutions for p\ell_p regression.
