One Empty Locker and Two Inspections: An Exact Optimal Team Strategy
Igor Kleiner, David Perry
We study a cooperative search game with lockers, labelled objects, one empty locker, and players. Player seeks object and may inspect at most two lockers; t…
Scalar induced gravitational waves as probes of dark QCD
Wan-Zhe Feng, Ao Li, Jing-Zhi Zhou
We investigate scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) as probes of a dark QCD crossover. Motivated by twin Higgs and asymmetric twin baryon dark matter scenarios, we consider a…
Stochastic Multi-Armed Bandits with Limited Control Variates
Arun Verma, Manjesh Kumar Hanawal, Arun Rajkumar
Motivated by wireless networks where interference or channel state estimates provide partial insight into throughput, we study a variant of the classical stochastic multi-armed ban…
FastFlow: Accelerating The Generative Flow Matching Models with Bandit Inference
Divya Jyoti Bajpai, Dhruv Bhardwaj, Soumya Roy +4
Flow-matching models deliver state-of-the-art fidelity in image and video generation, but the inherent sequential denoising process renders them slower. Existing acceleration metho…
FlowCast: Trajectory Forecasting for Scalable Zero-Cost Speculative Flow Matching
Divya Jyoti Bajpai, Shubham Agarwal, Apoorv Saxena +3
Flow Matching (FM) has recently emerged as a powerful approach for high-quality visual generation. However, their prohibitively slow inference due to a large number of denoising st…
FastVLM: Self-Speculative Decoding for Fast Vision-Language Model Inference
Divya Jyoti Bajpai, Manjesh Kumar Hanawal
Vision-language Models (VLMs) have made significant strides in visual understanding and query response generation, but often face challenges of high computational cost and inferenc…
