Test-time scaling (TTS) for large language models (LLMs) has thus far fallen into two largely separate paradigms: (1) reinforcement learning (RL) methods that optimize sparse outcome-based rewards, yet suffer from instability and low sample…
Presolving has become an essential component of modern MIP solvers both in terms of computational performance and numerical robustness. In this paper, we present PaPILO, a new C++ header-only library that provides a large set of presolving…
Differential privacy is a rigorous, worst-case notion of privacy-preserving computation. Informally, a probabilistic program is differentially private if the participation of a single individual in the input database has a limited effect on…
We develop a new Low-level, First-order Probabilistic Programming Language (LF-PPL) suited for models containing a mix of continuous, discrete, and/or piecewise-continuous variables. The key success of this language and its compilation…
Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven augmented reality (AR) systems are becoming increasingly integrated into daily life, and with this growth comes a greater need for explainability in real-time user interactions. Traditional explainable AI…
Learning from label proportions (LLP), i.e., a challenging weakly-supervised learning task, aims to train a classifier by using bags of instances and the proportions of classes within bags, rather than annotated labels for each instance.…
Recent research reveals that machine learning (ML) models are highly sensitive to minor changes in their training procedure, such as the inclusion or exclusion of a single data point, leading to conflicting predictions on individual data…
Multiple successful compositional symbolic execution (CSE) tools and platforms exploit separation logic (SL) for compositional verification and/or incorrectness separation logic (ISL) for compositional bug-finding, including VeriFast,…
Large-scale linear programs (LPs) arise in many decision systems, including ranking, allocation, and matching problems that must be solved repeatedly at massive scale. Prior work such as ECLIPSE and LinkedIn's open-source DuaLip showed that…
Motivated by settings in which predictive models may be required to be non-discriminatory with respect to certain attributes (such as race), but even collecting the sensitive attribute may be forbidden or restricted, we initiate the study…
Deep learning has emerged as a versatile tool for a wide range of NLP tasks, due to its superior capacity in representation learning. But its applicability is limited by the reliance on annotated examples, which are difficult to produce at…
In probabilistic reasoning, the traditionally discrete domain has been elevated to the hybrid domain encompassing additionally continuous random variables. Inference in the hybrid domain, however, usually necessitates to condone trade-offs…
This paper examines some methods and ideas underlying the author's successful probabilistic learning systems(PLS), which have proven uniquely effective and efficient in generalization learning or induction. While the emerging principles are…

This paper presents a Probabilistic State Algebra as an extension of deterministic propositional logic, providing a computational framework for constructing Markov Random Fields (MRFs) through pure linear algebra. By mapping logical states…
We present quantitative separation logic ($\mathsf{QSL}$). In contrast to classical separation logic, $\mathsf{QSL}$ employs quantities which evaluate to real numbers instead of predicates which evaluate to Boolean values. The connectives…
Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) are receiving widespread attention for performing Bayesian inference in complex generative models. However, applications to science remain limited because of the impracticability of rewriting…
Hierarchical predictive processing explains adaptive behaviour through precision-weighted inference. Explicit belief revision often fails to produce corresponding changes in stress reactivity or autonomic regulation. This asymmetry suggests…
Local search is a successful approach for solving combinatorial optimization and constraint satisfaction problems. With the progressing move toward multi and many-core systems, GPUs and the quest for Exascale systems, parallelism has become…
Physics-Informed Neural Networks have become a powerful mesh-free method for solving partial differential equations, but their performance is often limited by spectral bias. Specifically, in standard MLPs used in PINNs, the global parameter…
