Dynamic Multi-Step Decoding for Time-Series Foundation Models

arXiv:2610.34409v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Time-series forecasting models typically use a fixed decoding strategy at inference time: either one-shot prediction of the full horizon or autoregressive rollout over…

SCAFFOLD under Hessian Similarity: Sharp Convergence Rates

arXiv:2610.35663v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: One of the main challenges of federated learning is heterogeneous data split among the clients, leading to biased local updates called client drift. The SCAFFOLD algorithm…

On the stability of learning

arXiv:2610.35856v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning algorithms are usually analyzed under the assumption that informative gradients are continuously available. But this is not always true---learning signals in…

CoPE-CGL: Community-aware Prototype Extraction for Replay-Free Continual Graph Learning

arXiv:2610.35313v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual graph learning (CGL) maintains models as graphs evolve without retraining from scratch, while mitigating catastrophic forgetting. Existing methods typically…

SATFormer: Learning When to Use Early Value Residuals in Transformers

arXiv:2605.03953v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent Transformer architectures expose later layers to representations computed in earlier layers, motivated by the observation that low-level features can become…

High-resolution tactile observation makes hidden racket-control mechanisms learnable

arXiv:2610.35563v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Experts can master fine hand-object manipulation skills, yet limited conscious perception of rapid tactile interactions hinders their ability to articulate the underlying…

Trust Region Continual Learning as an Implicit Meta-Learner

arXiv:2602.02417v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual learning aims to acquire tasks sequentially without catastrophic forgetting, yet standard strategies face a core tradeoff: regularization-based methods…

Self-Supervised Pretraining for PHM: What Transfers, What Does Not, and What Federating It Costs

arXiv:2610.35280v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-supervised pretraining has produced capable time-series foundation models, but its value for Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) has not been measured under…

The Noise-Transmission Burden of Diffusion Network: Why Image Prediction Can Outperform Noise Prediction

arXiv:2610.34834v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clean-image prediction ($x$-prediction) and noise prediction yield equivalent population-optimal denoisers, yet can perform very differently in finite diffusion…
