In this paper, we propose an efficient hybrid least squares/gradient descent (LSGD) method for MIONets to accelerate training. This method generalizes the LSGD method for DeepONets. Since MIONet is the sum of the entrywise product of multiple branch networks and a trunk network, it can be viewed as a multilinear function with respect to the last layer parameters of each branch network. These sets of parameters can be optimized using the alternating least squares method, where we solve the LS system for a single branch network in turn. To handle the large-sized system matrix, we introduce Kronecker and Khatri-Rao products and tensor permutation matrices to factor the large matrix into small ones. Our method is compatible with a general type of $L^2$ loss with regularization terms for the last layer parameters of each branch, where linear operators can be applied to the MIONet output in each loss term.
The increasing deployment of large language models (LLMs) has magnified the computational and memory bottlenecks of autoregressive decoding, where low compute intensity and bandwidth-bound kernels dominate inference cost. Weight pruning offers a promising remedy, but existing met…
A data-driven inverse optimization problem (DDIOP) is the problem of estimating the objective-function parameters (weights) that explain observed optimal-solution data, and it arises in many applications, including integer linear programming (ILP). It is known that, by applying g…
We study the expected improvement (EI) policy for minimizing a deterministic objective function $f$ on a nonempty compact set $\mathcal X \subset\mathbb R^d$. We assume that $f$ belongs to the RKHS $\mathcal H_k$ of a continuous positive-semidefinite kernel $k$ on $\mathcal X$. F…
Reinforcement-learning-based quantum architecture search (RL-QAS) repeatedly optimizes a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) after extending a circuit, although circuit construction and action legality are deterministic and known. We introduce DreamQAS, a model-based RL framewo…
Large-scale multivariate time series from heterogeneous IoT sensors demand accurate long-term forecasting for resource scheduling and predictive maintenance. While recent time series foundation models exhibit strong generalization, they rely on static parametric knowledge and lac…
Reliable evaluation of open-ended LLM outputs requires fine-grained rubrics, yet expert curation is costly and difficult to scale. Existing automated pipelines rely on strict judge unanimity and binary variance filters, which cannot distinguish measurable rubrics from informative…
