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.

Conditional-TC Reveal Scheduler

Replace confidence-only masked diffusion decoding with an adaptive scheduler that chooses batches whose unrevealed tokens have low conditional total correlation given the already revealed context. The scheduler should preserve large parallel batches when token predictions are conditionally independent, but split highly dependent tokens into separate rounds to reduce forward-KL error.
