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.
Replace a flat MoE or graph-pooling assignment with recursive partitions selected by interaction evidence after removing each item’s expected degree effect. Tokens, nodes, or examples that are frequently active for purely popularity-related reasons should not automatically form an expert or cluster. Recursion stops when a candidate split has nonpositive degree-corrected evidence, producing an adaptive hierarchy rather than a fixed number of equally sized groups.
Replace disjoint-pair estimates of embedding covariance moments with a complete U-statistic over every distinct pair in a minibatch. For embeddings z, the degree-two kernel h(z_i,z_j)=(z_i^T z_j)^2 estimates the spectral moment tr(M^2), where M=E[zz^T]; complete symmetrization reduces the degenerate component of estimator variance from O(1/B) to O(1/B^2).
