The ability of Flow Matching (FM) to model complex conditional distributions has established it as the state-of-the-art for prediction tasks (e.g., robotics, weather forecasting). However, deployment in safety-critical settings is hindered…

Anomaly segmentation is an essential capability for safety-critical robotics applications that must be aware of unexpected events. Normalizing flows (NFs), a class of generative models, are a promising approach for this task due to their…

This paper introduces a novel paradigm for the analysis and verification of concurrent programs -- the Singularity Theory. We model the execution space of a concurrent program as a branched topological space, where program states are points…

Concurrent separation logics have helped to significantly simplify correctness proofs for concurrent data structures. However, a recurring problem in such proofs is that data structure abstractions that work well in the sequential setting…

Autoregressive generative models naturally generate variable-length sequences, while non-autoregressive models struggle, often imposing rigid, token-wise structures. We propose Edit Flows, a non-autoregressive model that overcomes these…

To evaluate models as hypotheses, we developed the method of Flux Mapping to construct a hypothesis space based on dominant runoff generating mechanisms. Acceptable model runs, defined as total simulated flow with similar (and minimal)…

Algorithmic meta-theorems explain the tractability of large classes of computational problems by linking logical expressibility with structural graph properties. While extensions of first-order logic such as FO+dp admit efficient model…

Foundational language models show a remarkable ability to learn new concepts during inference via context data. However, similar work for images lag behind. To address this challenge, we introduce FLoWN, a flow matching model that learns to…

Flow-based models typically define a latent space with dimensionality identical to the observational space. In many problems, however, the data does not populate the full ambient data space that they natively reside in, rather inhabiting a…

The decode-forward achievable region is studied for general networks. The region is subject to a fundamental tension in which nodes individually benefit at the expense of others. The complexity of the region depends on all the ways of…

A convenient measure of a map or flow's chaotic action is the topological entropy. In many cases, the entropy has a homological origin: it is forced by the topology of the space. For example, in simple toral maps, the topological entropy is…

Normalizing Flows (NFs) are a class of generative models distinguished by a mathematically invertible architecture, where the forward pass transforms data into a latent space for density estimation, and the reverse pass generates new…

Normalizing Flows (NFs) describe a class of models that express a complex target distribution as the composition of a series of bijective transformations over a simpler base distribution. By limiting the space of candidate transformations…
