Abstract

We present BriLLM-MetaPred, the first engineering implementation of the MetaPred machine-learning framework established by a mathematical theory of AGI, instantiated for language modeling. The theory argues that MetaPred is both necessary and sufficient as a machine-learning primitive for general cognition. Taking this theoretical conclusion as a design premise, we report an implementation of the primitive for language modeling. A single continuously evolving dynamical state serves as both the context representation and the state from which predictions are read out. Continuous measurement of its own state reduces finite-depth inconsistency, maintains internal consistency, and provides an endogenous dynamical self-supervision signal in fixed-point form. The single dynamical state of MetaPred intrinsically couples training and inference. MetaPred therefore exhibits symmetry across almost all key elements of machine learning, an intuitive and observable property of the mathematical optimum over the space of all machine-learning paradigms. BriLLM-MetaPred is neither another recurrent language model nor an extension of BriLLM. It provides a bridge between two prior contributions: the construction and motivation of the MetaPred primitive provided by AGI theory, and the SiFu learning paradigm provided by BriLLM (Zhao et al., 2025). The latter's node-signal-flow design enables the primitive to run on available software and hardware accelerators. Our implementation of BriLLM-MetaPred achieves predictive performance comparable to a GPT baseline of the same size. This provides initial evidence for the engineering feasibility of the MetaPred framework established by the mathematical theory of AGI. MetaPred is the first machine-learning paradigm derived entirely from mathematical theory rather than assembled and incrementally improved through human design---and perhaps the last such paradigm.

InfoDiffusion: Representation Learning Using Information Maximizing Diffusion Models

While diffusion models excel at generating high-quality samples, their latent variables typically lack semantic meaning and are not suitable for representation learning. Here, we propose InfoDiffusion, an algorithm that augments diffusion models with low-dimensional latent variables that capture high-level factors of variation in the data. InfoDiffusion relies on a learning objective regularized with the mutual information between observed and hidden variables, which is designed to improve latent space quality and to prevent the latents from being ignored by expressive diffusion-based decoders. Empirically, we find that InfoDiffusion learns disentangled and human-interpretable latent representations that are competitive with state-of-the-art generative and contrastive methods, while retaining the high sample quality of diffusion models. Our method enables manipulating the attributes of generated images and has the potential to assist tasks that require exploring a learned latent space to generate quality samples, e.g., generative design.

Discovering and Reasoning of Causality in the Hidden World with Large Language Models

Revealing hidden causal variables alongside the underlying causal mechanisms is essential to the development of science. Despite the progress in the past decades, existing practice in causal discovery (CD) heavily relies on high-quality measured variables, which are usually given by human experts. In fact, the lack of well-defined high-level variables behind unstructured data has been a longstanding roadblock to a broader real-world application of CD. This procedure can naturally benefit from an automated process that can suggest potential hidden variables in the system. Interestingly, Large language models (LLMs) are trained on massive observations of the world and have demonstrated great capability in processing unstructured data. To leverage the power of LLMs, we develop a new framework termed Causal representatiOn AssistanT (COAT) that incorporates the rich world knowledge of LLMs to propose useful measured variables for CD with respect to high-value target variables on their paired unstructured data. Instead of directly inferring causality with LLMs, COAT constructs feedback from intermediate CD results to LLMs to refine the proposed variables. Given the target variable and the paired unstructured data, we first develop COAT-MB that leverages the predictivity of the proposed variables to iteratively uncover the Markov Blanket of the target variable. Built upon COAT-MB, COAT-PAG further extends to uncover a more complete causal graph, i.e., Partial Ancestral Graph, by iterating over the target variables and actively seeking new high-level variables. Moreover, the reliable CD capabilities of COAT also extend the debiased causal inference to unstructured data by discovering an adjustment set. We establish theoretical guarantees for the CD results and verify their efficiency and reliability across realistic benchmarks and real-world case studies.

Estimating Long-term Heterogeneous Dose-response Curve: Generalization Bound Leveraging Optimal Transport Weights

Long-term treatment effect estimation is a significant but challenging problem in many applications. Existing methods rely on ideal assumptions, such as no unobserved confounders or binary treatment, to estimate long-term average treatment effects. However, in numerous real-world applications, these assumptions could be violated, and average treatment effects are insufficient for personalized decision-making. In this paper, we address a more general problem of estimating long-term Heterogeneous Dose-Response Curve (HDRC) while accounting for unobserved confounders and continuous treatment. Specifically, to remove the unobserved confounders in the long-term observational data, we introduce an optimal transport weighting framework to align the long-term observational data to an auxiliary short-term experimental data. Furthermore, to accurately predict the heterogeneous effects of continuous treatment, we establish a generalization bound on counterfactual prediction error by leveraging the reweighted distribution induced by optimal transport. Finally, we develop a long-term HDRC estimator building upon the above theoretical foundations. Extensive experiments on synthetic and semi-synthetic datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
