本文研究 LLM 在测试时从迭代经验中学习的机制,称之为 Chain-of-Experience (CoE):模型通过与自身或环境反馈的迭代交互积累经验痕迹,形成超越零样本推理的持续改进循环。This study studies how LLMs learn from iterative experience at test time, a setting the authors refer to as Chain-of-Experience (CoE), where models accumulate experiential traces through iterative interactions with self or environmental feedback to form a continual improvement loop beyond zero-shot inference.

端到端天气预报系统直接从原始地球观测数据生成高质量的全球网格与站点预报,仅以数值天气预报流水线(含数据同化)一小部分的成本取而代之。这类系统是确定性的,不输出不确定性结果。本文通过在每个组件上附加一种随机机制,将 Aardvark Weather 模型概率化:在观测编码器中加入学习到的、依赖输入的噪声,以捕捉源自观测系统的偶然不确定性;在处理器中使用 Monte Carlo dropout,以捕捉认知不确定性。End-to-end weather forecasting systems produce skillful global gridded and station forecasts directly from raw Earth observations, replacing the numerical weather prediction pipeline, including data assimilation, at a fraction of its cost. These systems are deterministic and issue no uncertainty. Here we render the Aardvark Weather model probabilistic by attaching one stochastic mechanism to each component: learned, input-dependent noise at the observation encoder, capturing aleatoric uncertainty inherited from the observing system, and Monte Carlo dropout in the processor, capturing epistemic

我们提出 Cadence,一种面向数值时序的误差有界有损压缩器,将 3.3 亿参数的时序基础模型(Google TimesFM-3)与自适应算术编码器相结合,保证每个样本满足 |x_t - x̂_t| ≤ τ。一项负面结论限定了设计空间:在无损编码场景下,基础模型毫无价值,因为节省的比特数仅与预测器精度呈对数关系 Δb = log_2(MAE_old / MAE_new)。因此 TimesFM-3 相对 32 阶线性预测器 1.51 倍的精度优势,在 20.28 比特中仅换取 0.60 比特,中位数增益仅 +0.03%。误差有界编码仅在一点上突破了这一限制。We present Cadence, an error-bounded lossy compressor for numeric time series pairing a 330M-parameter time-series foundation model (Google TimesFM-3) with an adaptive arithmetic coder, guaranteeing |x_t-x_t|leτ on every sample. One negative result constrains the design space: for lossless coding a foundation model is worth nothing, because bits saved are logarithmic in predictor accuracy, Δb=log_2(MAE_{old}/MAE_{new}). So the 1.51times advantage TimesFM-3 holds over a 32-tap linear predictor buys 0.60 bits of 20.28, a median gain of +0.03%. Error-bounded coding escapes this at one point: once
