New framework explains fast transfer of hyperparameters across model scales.
problem Understanding and optimizing hyperparameters for large-scale models.

A universal rule-based self-learning approach using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is proposed for the first time to solve nonlinear ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations. The solver consists of a deep neural network-structured actor that outputs candidate solutions, and a critic derived…
A linkage mechanism consists of rigid bodies assembled by joints which can be used to translate and transfer motion from one form in one place to another. In this paper, we are particularly interested in a family of spacial linkage mechanisms which consist of n-copies of a rigid body joined together by hinges to form…
We develop DTs for PDE models using KL-NN and TL, analyzing TL's moment equations and one-shot learning for exactness.
problem Creating accurate digital twins for systems governed by PDEs under changing conditions.
method We use KL-NN surrogate models and transfer learning to construct DTs, analyzing the moment equations and proposing one-shot and few-shot learning methods.
result For linear PDEs, one-shot TL is exact; for nonlinear PDEs, some parameters can be transferred with minimal error.

method Created a graph with regions as nodes and human mobility as edge weights. Used graph neural networks to capture diffusion patterns and transfer learning for limited data.
result Graph neural networks outperform traditional methods in predicting future cases.
Sequential data often originates from diverse domains across which statistical regularities and domain specifics exist. To specifically learn cross-domain sequence representations, we introduce disentangled state space models (DSSM) -- a class of SSM in which domain-invariant state dynamics is explicitly disentangled f…
We introduce a new weight-decay scaling rule to maintain sublayer gains across different widths in modern scale-invariant architectures.
problem In modern scale-invariant architectures, training quickly enters a steady state where normalization layers create backward scale sensitivity, degrading learning-rate transfer.
method We introduce a weight-decay scaling rule for AdamW that preserves sublayer gain across widths by equalizing the effective learning rate.
result Our empirical weight-decay scaling rule λ2∝d approximately keeps sublayer gains width invariant, enabling zero-shot transfer of learning rate and weight decay.
The so-called "Yard-Sale Model" of wealth distribution posits that wealth is transferred between economic agents as a result of transactions whose size is proportional to the wealth of the less wealthy agent. In recent work [B.M. Boghosian, "Kinetics of Wealth and the Pareto Law," {\it Phys. Rev. E} {\bf 89} (2014) 042…
Study explores reinforcement learning in a complex game environment, analyzing rule inference and policy learning.
problem Learning optimal policies in environments with hidden rules.
method Investigated using the Game Of Hidden Rules (GOHR) environment, employing Feature-Centric and Object-Centric state representations with a Transformer-based A2C algorithm.
result Transformer-based A2C models outperform traditional methods in GOHR, demonstrating the effectiveness of representation strategies.

problem Dynamic allocation of decision authority to AI-generated recommendations under evolving evidence quality and uncertainty.
method Formulated as a Governance-Aware POMDP, using Bayesian inference for informational state estimation and sequential optimization for authority allocation.
result Sequential Bayesian governance provides the strongest general-purpose policy across AI-quality regimes, adapting to evolving evidence.
We present a new physics informed neural network (PINN) algorithm for solving brittle fracture problems. While most of the PINN algorithms available in the literature minimize the residual of the governing partial differential equation, the proposed approach takes a different path by minimizing the variational energy o…
We investigate the relationship between market efficiency of rice futures transaction in Osaka and the Japanese government intervention in rice distributions by directly buying and selling rice during the interwar period, from the middle 1910s to 1939, considering the context of "discretion versus rules." We use a time…
Transfer learning borrows knowledge from a source domain to facilitate learning in a target domain. Two primary issues to be addressed in transfer learning are what and how to transfer. For a pair of domains, adopting different transfer learning algorithms results in different knowledge transferred between them. To dis…
