COMPLEX: A Closed-Form Certified Embedding of Multiparameter Persistence Modules

Abstract

Every multiparameter persistence vectorization we know of carries a one-sided Lipschitz upper bound and nothing below it: without a lower gauge there is no sense in which the features are faithful, and no per-prediction guarantee can be built on them. This paper supplies the missing side. COMPLEX is a closed-form, training-free embedding of multiparameter modules -- slice the module along a fixed near-diagonal net, embed each slice barcode by the certified PLACE/PALACE landmark map, concatenate. Under a checkable witnessing-slice coherence condition, holding on 100% of audited pairs on Orbit5k, a single slice carries a closed-form lower gauge: separated modules stay separated in the embedding. With the standard upper bound this gives, to our knowledge, the first two-sided distortion bound for a multiparameter feature map, making faithfulness measurable. Measuring it, we find the floor tight within a small factor of realized distances yet operationally local: an RBF-SVM reaches 91% where 1-NN reaches 78% on the same features. Local per-prediction certification therefore fails for a structural reason common to every landmark embedding whose lower gauge is witnessed by one coordinate. With no learned embedding and no held-out calibration -- only a cross-validated SVM head -- COMPLEX sets the state of the art on both Orbit benchmarks (91.95% on Orbit5k, 92.98% on Orbit100k), level with or above Euler-characteristic surfaces and above transformers and graphcode. On graphs it exceeds GRIL on all four shared molecular benchmarks with one fixed configuration, including the only multiparameter method to clear COX2's majority baseline by more than three points. Closed-form selection -- of the landmark radius, the kernel (certificate-preserving), and the bifiltration set -- buys further accuracy; gradient-shaped adaptation buys none.

Label Propagation for Physics-Informed Neural Networks and Physics-Informed Gaussian Processes

We present a series of empirical results of the application of semi-supervised label propagation techniques in training physics-informed machine learning methods. This includes self-training of physics-informed neural networks and physics-informed Gaussian processes in isolation, and the integration of the two via co-training, therefore establishing a hybrid between these two main classes of physics-informed machine learning. We demonstrate via extensive numerical experiments how these methods can ameliorate the issue of propagating information from boundaries into the physical domain, including information from initial conditions in the case of solving stiff time-dependent partial differential equations, which is known to be a common failure mode of physics-informed machine learning.

Multi-Armed Bernoulli Bandits via Minimax Single-Arm Stopping

We develop an index policy for finite-horizon Bernoulli multi-armed bandits from minimax solutions to single-arm bandit (SAB) problems. Each SAB problem involves choosing between an unknown Bernoulli arm and a known reward. We show that minimizing worst-case regret of SAB problems over all non-anticipative policies admits an exact semi-infinite linear programming formulation. The resulting stopping policies offer a natural way to compare arms: the higher the known reward against which a policy continues sampling, the more promising the unknown arm. We turn this intuition into indices based on cumulative continuation probabilities, with a monotone adjustment and a reward-shortfall cap. By relating index errors to the regret of single-arm stopping policies, we establish a distribution-free regret bound of $4.45\sqrt{KT}+10.75K$ for $K$ arms and horizon $T$. This bound matches the minimax-optimal regret order established in the literature. The guarantee extends to rewards supported on $[0,1]$ through Bernoulli randomization. We also provide a finite-grid implementation with quantified approximation loss. In numerical experiments, the SAB-based index policy achieves lower worst-case regret than every tested benchmark policy across all evaluated numbers of arms and horizons, while closely matching the grid-based MAB minimax policy in the two-arm setting.

Autonomous Model Lifecycle Management for Digital Twin-Based Manufacturing Control

Manufacturing AI systems must autonomously adapt to continuous distributional shift from raw-material variability, ambient changes, and equipment aging, under strict safeguard and operator-trust requirements where model failures risk physical damage. This paper presents a closed-loop Cyber-Physical System (CPS) for autonomous model lifecycle management in automotive manufacturing, deployed since 2023. The system manages product-specialized model pairs: a sequence-to-sequence physics model (LPP) serving as a digital twin, and a deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) control policy (LCP) trained against it. Per retraining cycle, multiple model variants spanning architecture families and RL algorithms compete; only the best-scoring candidate advances. A Conductor orchestrator autonomously manages plant-wide model inventories with dependency-aware retraining and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) fallback. Reflecting the principle of Human-Centric Intelligence, the LCP composite score embeds an operator-trust gate penalizing policies deviating from established practice; without it, 23% of policies are rejected by operators despite passing accuracy thresholds. Across multiple facilities, LCP-controlled processes achieve process stability improvements of 28-45% over uncontrolled baselines with zero safety incidents.
