HF ★ 28 · Tong Zheng, Xidong Wu, Zheng Zhang… · HF Mirror

To address the pain points of poor adaptability of fixed exploration strategies and high cost of delayed online optimization feedback in autonomous AI recursive self-improvement scenarios, this paper proposes the Dream-RSI framework: no modification to the underlying coding agent is required, a replay simulator is built based on historical discoveries for offline “dreaming” training, feedback is obtained at low cost to iterate exploration strategies, forming a closed loop of self-improvement. In tasks such as algorithm engineering, mathematical optimization, and GPU kernel optimization, its performance is equal or better, while significantly reducing exploration costs.

Fundamental Dynamical Units for Physics-Informed Structural Inference from Perturbation Time-Series in Networked Systems

Nima Nouri

To address three major difficulties in inferring signed interaction structures of networked dynamical systems from perturbation time-series data, this paper proposes three-node Fundamental Dynamical Units (FDU) as building blocks, converting the hypothesis space into a finite solvable form, embedded into a physics-informed neural ordinary differential equation framework, which can simultaneously recover interaction structures and perturbation-associated trajectories. Verified on synthetic benchmarks, this framework achieves mechanism-interpretable structural inference.

Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction: Embedding PDE Consistency into Distribution-Free Uncertainty Quantification for Neural Operators

Michael Chin

To address the pain point of lack of rigorous uncertainty estimation when neural operators solve partial differential equations (PDEs), this study proposes the Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction (PI-CP) framework, which embeds PDE residuals into the non-conformity score of conformal prediction, and can output prediction intervals with coverage guarantees that adaptively adjust according to physical compliance. The study also confirms that Fourier neural operators have a Dirichlet boundary approximation barrier, and adding coordinate channels can reduce error by 63x; verified across 6 types of physical scenarios, its coverage stability is better than traditional methods, and performance is 10-12x higher than CNNs and other methods.

Fed-Equilibrium Framework for Topological Pareto Control in Robust and Fair Clinical Federated Learning

Ting Xu, Henry Leung

To address the problems in multi-center clinical federated learning where high-data-volume nodes are “knowledge dominant”, small-cohort clinical patterns are treated as anomalies, and it is difficult to balance efficiency and fairness, the Fed-Equilibrium framework is proposed: a two-level gradient control cascade first filters malicious noise, then allocates compliant contributions via topological Pareto control. Verified on cross-national clinical data, this framework balances robustness and niche signals, with small nodes accounting for 3% of the dataset achieving convergence effects comparable to large nodes, balancing global generalization and local representativeness.

Harness Engineering for Self-Improvement

Lilian Weng

This article sorts out the conceptual evolution of Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI): in 1965, I.J. Good first proposed the relevant idea, defining a system that can surpass all human intellectual activities and autonomously design better machines as a “superintelligent machine”; in 2008, Eliezer Yudkowsky clarified that RSI is a feedback loop where AI optimizes its own cognitive mechanism relying on existing intelligence. In the current AI context, this closed loop refers both to the model directly rewriting its own weights, and broadly includes optimization of its own training pipeline.
