Attach a learned controller to a physical or simulated plant and use a continuous safety certificate to compute a conservative remaining-time budget before the current action or latent prediction can become unsafe. Compile this spatial margin into a unit-rate temporal contract, allowing asynchronous inference, batching, or early execution without online rollout integration; trigger a new network evaluation only when the countdown reaches a guard threshold.
Replace a neural sequence model's unconstrained multi-step latent rollout with a data-driven LPV predictor acting on a learned latent state. Build the predictor from Hankel matrices of past latent observations, inputs, and scheduling features, then use an LQ factorization to project the large data coefficient matrix into a fixed-dimensional coordinate system. The model preserves scheduling-conditioned dynamics while making rollout cost independent of the number of training trajectories.
Replace the linear state transition in a small recurrent or state-space module by a circulant matrix acting on a vector over a finite field. The hidden state then has only finitely many possible values and follows an exactly periodic orbit after at most \(q^n\) states, eliminating numerical drift on modular-counting and symbolic-memory tasks. A learned real-valued encoder and decoder can surround the discrete core, while the transition itself is fixed, searched, or trained with a…
Compress the hidden state of a stable neural state-space layer using low-rank controllability and observability Gramians. States that are difficult to excite from the input or weakly visible at the output are removed, producing a smaller recurrent state with a principled input-output preservation criterion.
Replace a dense channel-mixing matrix in a sequence layer with alternating diagonal propagation and sparse unipotent Stokes jumps. The diagonal part carries independently controlled exponential phases, while the unipotent factors implement cheap residual-like mode conversion without changing determinant or requiring a dense matrix multiply. Constrain the phase magnitudes and jump coefficients during training to obtain a reversible, norm-monitorable mixer.
Replace an eigendecomposition-based spectral controller in a small recurrent or state-space transition layer with explicit polynomial projectors. Each hidden state is split into invariant modes, and each mode receives a separately constrained recurrent multiplier, enabling direct suppression of unstable modes or selective retention of long-memory modes using only matrix-polynomial evaluations.
