Nested subspace learning with flags
stat.ML cs.LG
Many machine learning methods look for low-dimensional representations of the data. The underlying subspace can be estimated by first choosing a dimension $q$ and then optimizing a certain objective function over the space of $q$-dimensional subspaces (the Grassmannian). Trying different $q$ yields in general non-nes...

Investigating Compositional Reasoning in Time Series Foundation Models
cs.LG
Large pre-trained time series foundation models (TSFMs) have demonstrated promising zero-shot performance across a wide range of domains. However, a question remains: Do TSFMs succeed solely by memorizing training patterns, or do they possess the ability to reason? While reasoning is a topic of great interest in the ...

We develop an algorithm which, given a trained transformer model $\mathcal{M}$ as input, as well as a string of tokens $s$ of length $n_{fix}$ and an integer $n_{free}$, can generate a mathematical proof that $\mathcal{M}$ is ``overwhelmed'' by $s$, in time and space $\widetilde{O}(n_{fix}^2 + n_{free}^3)$. We say th...

Scaling Laws for Forgetting during Finetuning with Pretraining Data Injection
cs.LG cs.CL
A widespread strategy to obtain a language model that performs well on a target domain is to finetune a pretrained model to perform unsupervised next-token prediction on data from that target domain. Finetuning presents two challenges: (i) if the amount of target data is limited, as in most practical applications, th...

In this paper, we propose the neural shortest path (NSP), a vector-valued implicit neural representation (INR) that approximates a distance function and its gradient. The key feature of NSP is to learn the exact shortest path (ESP), which directs an arbitrary point to its nearest point on the target surface. The NSP ...
