Probabilistic Linear Explanations

Researchers introduce a unified probabilistic explainability framework using sparse anchored linear models that outperforms LIME and MAPLE on relevance error.

The paper proposes probabilistic explanations based on sparse, anchored linear models applicable to both binary classification and continuous regression. It proves that minimizing relevance error for neural-network models is NP-hard and relates it to a tractable fidelity-error surrogate. Solutions are computed via a mixed integer programming formulation with provably optimal empirical solutions and a polynomial-time iterative hard thresholding algorithm with approximation guarantees. Empirical evaluations show lower relevance error than LIME and MAPLE while satisfying anchoring and sparsity constraints by construction.

DeepSeek-v4.1 Flash: Pushing the Limits of KV Cache Compression

DeepSeek-V4.1 Flash is a 552B-parameter multimodal MoE model with 1M-token context achieving 4x KV cache compression for long-horizon agent workloads.

A detailed analysis of the DeepSeek-V4.1 Flash technical report describes a 552B-parameter multimodal mixture-of-experts model supporting contexts up to 1 million tokens. Its Causal Encoder-Decoder (CED) architecture activates 8B parameters during prefill and 16B during decode, and reportedly delivers about 420 tokens/s. Joint optimization of architecture (CSA2 cross-layer compression), FP4 KV cache precision, and deployment strategy cuts runtime KV cache to roughly 1/4 and persistent KV cache to about 1/8 of DeepSeek-V4-Flash at the same sequence length, targeting storage and bandwidth bottlenecks in long-horizon agent serving. The author notes all DeepSeek-V4 Pro models were taken offline following the release.

Fast Learning Rates for Physics-Informed Kernel Methods

Theoretical analysis proves finite-sample learning rates for physics-informed kernel estimators, showing differential observations can improve rates from n^-1/4 to n^-1/2.

The paper analyzes a physics-informed kernel estimator combining n value observations and m differential observations for a linear differential operator D, asking how much differential information improves prediction. The authors prove finite-sample bounds, supported by simulations, revealing a two-regime structure: when m is limited the rate depends jointly on n and m, and when m exceeds a problem-dependent threshold the rate saturates to the oracle rate. Examples in Sobolev spaces, including partial Laplacian constraints on the torus and gradient observations on bounded domains, illustrate improvements from the nonparametric n^-1/4 rate to the parametric n^-1/2 rate, plus physically consistent rates in a stronger norm.

Hamming Ideals and Grobner Bases for ISD-like Syndrome Decoding

Researchers combine Grobner bases with Information Set Decoding for syndrome decoding, testing feasibility against Classic McEliece NIST Category 1 parameters.

The paper proposes GBDecode, an ISD-like decoding algorithm that fixes only a subset of an information set and solves the resulting multivariate nonlinear systems via MultiSolve, which replaces one Grobner basis computation with many computations on simpler systems. Hamming weight constraints are reformulated using elementary symmetric functions and Lucas' identity factorizations to bound equation degree. Experiments on random binary linear codes use parameters matching the NIST Security Category 1 set of the Classic McEliece cryptosystem, assessing practical feasibility rather than breaking the scheme.

NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 Delivers Leading Performance in MLPerf Inference v6.1 Debut

NVIDIA's Vera Rubin NVL72 debuts in MLPerf Inference v6.1 with up to 3.7x higher throughput than GB300 NVL72 and 99% scaling efficiency at 288 GPUs.

In its first MLPerf Inference preview submission, NVIDIA's Vera Rubin NVL72 achieved up to 3.7x higher throughput than GB300 NVL72 on Qwen3-VL and 2.5x on DeepSeek-R1. A 288-GPU GB300 NVL72 submission across four racks reached 99% scaling efficiency on the DeepSeek-R1 offline benchmark. Software optimizations delivered up to 1.6x gains over v6.0, leveraging TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, Dynamo, disaggregated serving, and NVFP4 precision.
