Latent Bayesian Discovery of Symbolic Optimizers

Search for a compact symbolic optimizer instead of selecting among fixed AdamW-like formulas. Encode optimizer programs as token sequences, learn a continuous variational representation of those sequences, and use a Gaussian-process Bayesian optimizer to propose promising update rules based on short neural-network training rollouts.

Orthogonal transitivity projection for pairwise logits

Given arbitrary pairwise preference logits, project their skew-symmetric part onto the additive-consistent subspace before converting logits into probabilities or rankings. This removes cyclic inconsistency using the Frobenius-nearest consistent matrix, guaranteeing transitive pairwise predictions while preserving the closest possible signal under squared error.
