Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) offer a flexible framework for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), but training can become computationally expensive when a large number of collocation points are required to accurately enforce the governing equations. To alleviate this cost, we introduce multigrid-based parameter-updated PINNs (MPU-PINNs), a coarse-to-fine training strategy that progressively increases the number of training points throughout the learning process. The proposed approach begins by training a neural network on a coarse set of collocation points and then transfers the learned parameters to successively finer levels. This initialization strategy enables the network to capture the global features of the solution at a relatively low computational cost before refining local details with additional training points. To further improve performance for high-frequency problems, we incorporate a scaling technique that mitigates the effects of spectral bias during training. We evaluate MPU-PINNs on several benchmark PDEs, including two- and three-dimensional Poisson equations, a convection-diffusion-reaction equation, and the Helmholtz equation. Numerical experiments indicate that MPU-PINNs greatly reduce training time while achieving accuracy comparable to that of conventional PINNs and other representative variants such as SA-PINNs and XPINNs. The results further suggest that the proposed coarse-to-fine learning strategy substantially decreases the optimization effort required at finer levels. Overall, MPU-PINNs provide an efficient single-network training framework that enhances the computational efficiency and scalability of PINNs for a broad range of PDE problems.

In sequential recommendation (SR), neural models have been actively explored due to their remarkable performance, but they suffer from inefficiency inherent to their complexity. On the other hand, linear SR models exhibit high efficiency and achieve competitive or superior accuracy compared to neural models. However, they solely deal with the sequential order of items (i.e., sequential information) and overlook the actual timestamp (i.e., temporal information). It is limited to effectively capturing various user preference drifts over time. To address this issue, we propose a novel linear SR model, named TemporAl LinEar item-item model (TALE), incorporating temporal information while preserving training/inference efficiency, with three key components. (i) Single-target augmentation concentrates on a single target item, enabling us to learn the temporal correlation for the target item. (ii) Time interval-aware weighting utilizes the actual timestamp to discern the item correlation depending on time intervals. (iii) Trend-aware normalization reflects the dynamic shift of item popularity over time. Our empirical studies show that TALE outperforms ten competing SR models by up to 18.71% gains on five benchmark datasets. It also exhibits remarkable effectiveness in evaluating long-tail items by up to 30.45% gains. The source code is available at https://github.com/psm1206/TALE.

Tabular stream learning requires predictions on sequentially arriving examples under distribution shift. While standard methods adapt by updating model states, tabular foundation models (TFMs) make predictions conditioned on a labeled context in an in-context manner, making them a natural alternative for stream learning. This shifts the challenge from how to update the model to how to manage the context. We propose a future information view that yields three practical requirements for context management: preserve recent examples, retain uncertain examples, and remove redundant examples. We instantiate these requirements as CURE (Context management via Uncertainty-aware admission and Redundancy aware Eviction), a context-managing policy with entropy-gated admission and redundancy-aware eviction. Across seven streams, CURE shows up to 27.0% relative improvement over classical stream learners, remains robust across multiple TFM backbones, and ranks first among other policy variants. Code and datasets are available at https://github.com/morcellinus/CURE-ICML-FMSD.

Power delivery -- including high-to-low voltage conversion, complex power distribution across heterogeneously integrated chiplets, and efficient interconnect allocation -- remains a critical bottleneck in high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Existing vertical power delivery (VPD) solutions are estimated to achieve less than 70\% system-wide end-to-end power delivery efficiency, defined from platform input power to delivered on-chip load power, with substantial energy lost as heat before reaching on-chip point-of-loads (POLs). In the absence of systematic design methodologies, evaluating power quality, exploring architectural alternatives, and optimizing performance rely on computationally prohibitive simulations, resulting in suboptimal designs. This paper introduces an end-to-end scalable power delivery framework for HPC systems, including distributed VPD (DVPD) architecture, DVPD design optimization methodology, and analytical models. The framework leverages substrate-embedded GaN power switches together with arrays of unit inductors and capacitors tailored for HPC applications. Multi-stage power conversion schemes (48V-to-1V, 48V-to-24V-to-1V, and 48V-to-12V-to-1V) are explored, with system-wide voltage drops and power losses evaluated under steady-state conditions. Design specifications for passive and active devices are formulated to meet next-generation efficiency targets. For the 48V-to-1V case, the proposed DVPD approach achieves 84\% system-wide efficiency while occupying 54\% of the area beneath the load system, with efficiency increasing to 87.6\% at 75\% area utilization across a 1--50~kW load range. Furthermore, steady-state voltage drops peak at 2.7\% and transient drops at 9\% (without decoupling capacitors), demonstrating the viability of DVPD for future wafer-scale HPC platforms.

Learning robust dexterous grasping requires real-world data that records the physical outcomes of grasp attempts. Such data is hard to obtain at scale: teleoperation yields valid physical outcomes but is slow and operator-biased, while simulation-based generation is cheap and scalable but cannot certify contact validity. A natural solution is to generate candidate grasps and verify them on real hardware, but this scales only if the entire collection loop (perception, execution, labeling, and reset) runs without human intervention. We present AutoDex, an automated real-world data-collection system that closes this loop: for each candidate from a replaceable generator, it localizes the object under severe hand-object occlusion with dense 20-camera perception, executes collision-monitored robot motions, labels lift-and-hold success or failure, and actively resets the object between trials to expose additional candidates across stable poses. The result is a reusable database of physically labeled grasp trials that downstream systems can query by retrieval and feasibility filtering. Using AutoDex, we collect 3,593 grasp trials across Allegro and Inspire hands on 100 diverse objects, with synchronized multi-view observations and robot-state logs. For a matched 500-trajectory collection, AutoDex requires 10.3 h versus 49.4 h for teleoperation, yielding a 4.8x throughput improvement, and grasps retrieved from the AutoDex-validated database succeed 76% versus 34% for simulation-only validation. Code and data will be publicly released.

We present a zero-shot framework for long-horizon dexterous manipulation that grounds language instructions into executable 3D task plans from calibrated multi-view RGB images. Rather than training an end-to-end policy, our system uses a vision-language model (VLM) to produce reference-frame task grounding and primitive-level 2D keypoints, then lifts them into 3D via multi-view fusion. This lifting combines triangulation of view-wise VLM groundings with reference-view ray voting, which searches along a semantic camera ray for geometrically consistent candidates across neighboring views. The resulting 3D keypoints support both pick-and-place and tool-use: for tool-use, we retrieve an object-centric atomic action corresponding to the inferred skill category and align its stored 6D tool trajectory to the scene; for dexterous execution, we expand the lifted grasp keypoint into a task-conditioned grasp affordance region and generate feasible grasp-motion pairs with an arm-hand motion generator. Real-world experiments show improved 3D grounding accuracy and execution reliability over single-view RGB-D grounding and fine-tuned VLA baselines. We further demonstrate long-horizon manipulation through closed-loop status verification and replan, enabling zero-shot execution on unseen objects and tool-use tasks in novel scenes.
