Decentralized Machine Learning with Centralized Performance Guarantees via Gibbs Algorithms
Bermudez, Yaiza, Perlaza, Samir, Esnaola, Iñaki
In this paper, it is shown, for the first time, that centralized performance is achievable in decentralized learning without sharing the local datasets. Specifically, when clients adopt an empirical risk minimization with relative-entropy regularization (ERM-RER) learning framework and a forward-backward communication between clients is established, it suffices to share the locally obtained Gibbs measures to achieve the same performance as that of a centralized ERM-RER with access to all the datasets. The core idea is that the Gibbs measure produced by client~$k$ is used, as reference measure, by client~$k+1$. This effectively establishes a principled way to encode prior information through a reference measure. In particular, achieving centralized performance in the decentralized setting requires a specific scaling of the regularization factors with the local sample sizes. Overall, this result opens the door to novel decentralized learning paradigms that shift the collaboration strategy from sharing data to sharing the local inductive bias via the reference measures over the set of models.

Cold-Start Forecasting of New Product Life-Cycles via Conditional Diffusion Models
Zhou, Ruihan, Zhang, Zishi, Han, Jinhui, Peng, Yijie, Zhang, Xiaowei
Forecasting the life-cycle trajectory of a newly launched product is important for launch planning, resource allocation, and early risk assessment. This task is especially difficult in the pre-launch and early post-launch phases, when product-specific outcome history is limited or unavailable, creating a cold-start problem. In these phases, firms must make decisions before demand patterns become reliably observable, while early signals are often sparse, noisy, and unstable We propose the Conditional Diffusion Life-cycle Forecaster (CDLF), a conditional generative framework for forecasting new-product life-cycle trajectories under cold start. CDLF combines three sources of information: static descriptors, reference trajectories from similar products, and newly arriving observations when available. Here, static descriptors refer to structured pre-launch characteristics of the product, such as category, price tier, brand or organization identity, scale, and access conditions. This structure allows the model to condition forecasts on relevant product context and to update them adaptively over time without retraining, yielding flexible multi-modal predictive distributions under extreme data scarcity. The method satisfies consistency with a horizon-uniform distributional error bound for recursive generation. Across studies on Intel microprocessor stock keeping unit (SKU) life cycles and the platform-mediated adoption of open large language model repositories, CDLF delivers more accurate point forecasts and higher-quality probabilistic forecasts than classical diffusion models, Bayesian updating approaches, and other state-of-the-art machine-learning baselines.

AI hallucinations found in high-profile Wall Street law firm filing
The elite Wall Street law firm Sullivan & Cromwell has told a court that a major filing it made in a high-profile case contained errors resulting from hallucinations generated by artificial intelligence. Andrew Dietderich, the co-head of the firm's global restructuring group, apologised in a letter to the New York federal judge Martin Glenn on Saturday for the string of mistakes, which included inaccurate citations. The errors, uncovered by the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner (BSF), which was also working on the case, included misquoting the US bankruptcy code and citing cases incorrectly in a filing made on 9 April. In multiple instances, S&C, which employs more than 900 lawyers and has one of the top reputations for corporate work in the US, filed inaccurately summarised conclusions made in other cases using AI. "We deeply regret that this has occurred," said Dietderich in the letter.

Calibrating Scientific Foundation Models with Inference-Time Stochastic Attention
Yadav, Akash, Adebiyi, Taiwo A., Zhang, Ruda
Transformer-based scientific foundation models are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings, but current architectures give deterministic outputs and provide limited support for calibrated predictive uncertainty. We propose Stochastic Attention, a lightweight inference-time modification that randomizes attention by replacing softmax weights with normalized multinomial samples controlled by a single concentration parameter, and produces predictive ensembles without retraining. To set this parameter, we introduce a calibration objective that matches the stochastic attention output with the target, yielding an efficient univariate post-hoc tuning problem. We evaluate this mechanism on two scientific foundation models for weather and timeseries forecasting along with an additional regression task. Across benchmarks against uncertainty-aware baselines, we find that Stochastic Attention achieves the strongest native calibration and the sharpest prediction intervals at comparable coverage, while requiring only minutes of post-hoc tuning versus days of retraining for competitive baselines.

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida recently posted two cryptic messages on X, one telling people to'Read the book of Enoch' and the other displaying the 15th-century painting nicknamed the ' Madonna of the UFO.' It is the latest reference the chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee's hearings on UFOs has made to the Book of Enoch while speaking about extraterrestrials and alien spacecraft. The book is an ancient Jewish religious text, written in stages between 300 and 100 BC, attributed to the biblical figure Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah.

Trump's US Fed nominee Warsh vows independence, says he's no 'sock puppet'
Why did Trump fire Pam Bondi? Trump's US Fed nominee Warsh vows independence, says he's no'sock puppet' Kevin Warsh, United States President Donald Trump's pick to lead the Federal Reserve, has addressed concerns about his independence pending his appointment to the bank amid fears that Trump could sway his decisions on monetary policy. On Tuesday, Warsh -- who served on the central bank's Board of Governors from 2006 to 2011 -- faced waves of criticism during a confirmation hearing of the Senate Banking Committee where Democrats voiced concerns about the Fed's independence should he be appointed to lead the organisation. "I do not believe the operational independence of monetary policy is particularly threatened when elected officials -- presidents, senators, or members of the House -- state their views on interest rates," Warsh said. "Monetary policy independence is essential. Monetary policymakers must act in the nation's interest . . . Warsh, 56, also called for "regime change" at the US central bank, including a new approach for controlling inflation and a communications overhaul that may discourage his colleagues from saying too much about the direction of monetary policy. Warsh blamed the central bank for an inflation surge after it slashed interest rates to nearly zero in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, a move that continues to hurt US households. Concerned by the implications of artificial intelligence for jobs - expected to increase productivity - and prices, he said he would move quickly to see if new data tools could provide better insight on inflation, and would also discourage policymakers from saying too much about where interest rates might be heading. "What the Fed needs are reforms to its frameworks and reforms to its communications," the former Fed governor said. "Too many Fed officials opine about where interest rates should be That is quite unhelpful." Warsh has also long been an advocate for shrinking the Fed's $6.7 trillion balance sheet. In the Tuesday hearing, he said any such plans would take time and must be publicly discussed well in advance. Jai Kedia, a research fellow at the Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives at the libertarian Cato Institute, told Al Jazeera that there were many "encouraging" signs in Warsh's candidacy. "Warsh is presenting himself as a regime change candidate at a time when the Fed needs serious reform," Kedia noted. "Particularly encouraging was his understanding of the negative effects of QE and his focus on reducing the balance sheet.
