Generalized Orders of Magnitude for Scalable, Parallel, High-Dynamic-Range Computation
Franz A. Heinsen, Leo Kozachkov
Many domains, from deep learning to finance, require compounding real numbers over long sequences, often leading to catastrophic numerical underflow or overflow. We introduce gener…
Parallelizing MCMC Across the Sequence Length
David M. Zoltowski, Skyler Wu, Xavier Gonzalez +2
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are foundational algorithms for Bayesian inference and probabilistic modeling. However, most MCMC algorithms are inherently sequential and t…
Predictability Enables Parallelization of Nonlinear State Space Models
Xavier Gonzalez, Leo Kozachkov, David M. Zoltowski +2
The rise of parallel computing hardware has made it increasingly important to understand which nonlinear state space models can be efficiently parallelized. Recent advances like DE…
Intrinsic Goals for Autonomous Agents: Model-Based Exploration in Virtual Zebrafish Predicts Ethological Behavior and Whole-Brain Dynamics
Reece Keller, Alyn Kirsch, Felix Pei +3
Autonomy is a hallmark of animal intelligence, enabling adaptive and intelligent behavior in complex environments without relying on external reward or task structure. Existing rei…
