• $750 for master's candidates
• $2,500 for doctoral candidates
• $500 for junior academics
• $5,000 for book authors and editors

Awards made through the Bassi Foundation Press may be applied toward its open-access publication charge.

Eligibility

• Currently enrolled master's and doctoral candidates.
• Academics within the first five years of full-time employment.
• Open to all disciplines. There are no institutional, departmental, or national restrictions, and no citizenship requirement.

The selection emphasis is on research covering neglected topics, so applicants should be prepared to speak to what is underexamined in their field and how their work addresses it.

How to apply

• Submit a completed application form and your CV through the application portal at editing.press/bassi.

Title: Optimization in Scientific ML - is Accuracy Certification a Viable Goal?

Abstract: Generating nonlinear reduced models for parametric families of PDEs or learning associated parameter-to-solution maps often leads to minimizing a convex energy in a Hilbert space over a nonlinear hypothesis class. Hence, optimization over the budget of trainable weights, defining the hypothesis class, becomes (highly) non-convex. In this talk we discuss adaptive strategies for enhancing robustness and accuracy of optimization success, revolving around "conditional convergence guarantees". The main conceptual constituents are natural gradient flow in combination with an adaptive network expansion. Adaptation aims at increasing alignment with an ideal descent path determined by the gradient in the ambient (infinite dimensional) Hilbert space. This can be further combined with perturbed proximal point methods that can be understood as approximate implicit Euler schemes for the ideal Hilbert space gradient flow. The rationale is that each proximal point step is (much) easier to realize than the global optimization task because in each step the initial guess gets the closer to the optimum, the smaller the step-size. This adaptation to an implicit ideal Hilbert space gradient directions is of interest because the dynamical systems arising in the context of natural gradient flows are generically extremely stiff or even DAEs. Exploiting stable variational formulations of the PDE system, allows one to derive in certain relevant cases a posteriori criteria to check whether an approximate proximal step is sufficiently accurate to guarantee convergence. Roughly, network expansions are triggered when these criteria fail to be met even when the step-size reaches some lower bound. In this sense the results can be understood as "conditional convergence" with accuracy certificates. Part of the material draws on the recent paper [1].

Title: Computational Pathology Biomarkers in Androgen Pathway Modulator Sensitive Prostate Cancer

Abstract:
Prostate cancer accounted for an estimated 1.47 million new cases and 397,000 deaths worldwide in 2022. Although most men are diagnosed with localized disease that is potentially curable, the risk of death is concentrated in high-risk localized and metastatic disease, where androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is intensified with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI), docetaxel, or radiotherapy. In metastatic androgen pathway modulator sensitive (APMS) prostate cancer, docetaxel is added to ADT and an ARPI according to the volume and timing of metastases, criteria that are prognostic but do not measure the tumor biology that determines response. Between 40% and 50% of men selected in this way derive no survival benefit from docetaxel while experiencing its toxicity. Molecular states associated with progression and treatment response can be measured by genomic profiling, an assay performed on additional tissue in a minority of patients. These states also alter tumor morphology on the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) slide prepared at diagnosis, which in routine practice is assessed only through visual grading of glandular architecture. The objective of this dissertation is to determine whether the diagnostic H&E slide can provide quantitative measurements of tumor biology to guide treatment selection in prostate cancer. We hypothesize that this biology is expressed in H&E morphology and can be quantified computationally. In Aim 1, we will develop methods to quantify tumor-immune spatial architecture and nuclear morphologic heterogeneity, and to infer molecular states from tissue morphology by relating histologic appearance to spatially resolved gene expression and to tumor genomic profiles. In Aim 2, we will evaluate whether the morphological features predict benefit from docetaxel and enzalutamide through treatment-by-biomarker interaction analyses in three completed randomized phase 3 trials. In Aim 3, we will validate the inferred molecular states against genomic, protein, and spatial transcriptomic measurements, compare their prognostic value with that of the Decipher genomic classifier, and evaluate whether their distribution within the tumor is associated with treatment response and benefit. The expected outcomes are a histologic biomarker of treatment benefit validated in completed phase 3 trials and an estimate of molecular state, and of its distribution within the tumor, from routine histology. With these measurements, treatment selection in prostate cancer could be informed by tumor biology, including for patients without access to genomic testing.

Abstract

Accurate knowledge of program execution behavior is critical for both compiler optimizations and system-level resource management. However, modern workloads exhibit complex, input-dependent behavior with irregular control flow and dynamic phase changes, making static reasoning inadequate. While dynamic optimization techniques offer an alternative, their high analysis overhead often negates potential performance gains. In this work, we propose lightweight predictive techniques that leverage runtime values, program analysis, machine learning models, and LLM reasoning to predict dynamic program behavior at multiple levels of granularity. Although such predictions do not provide strict guarantees, we demonstrate empirically that they enable a range of “soft” optimizations that yield significant performance improvements.

In our first work, we showcase Compiler-Guided Cache Apportioning System (Com-CAS) for effectively apportioning the shared Last-Level Cache (LLC), through the use of runtime and compile-time cooperative framework. Com-CAS improves weighted throughput by 15% on average, outperforming the state-of-the-art schemes by 20% on average. In our second work, we extend this approach to estimate trip count for irregular loops, and present Beacons Framework, an end-to-end system that estimates dynamic loop characteristics and leverages them for proactive workload scheduling. Beacons achieves approximately 85--95% prediction accuracy and improves throughput by up to 2.62x over existing schedulers.

In our third work, we introduce Phaedrus, a framework for profile-driven software optimization via predictive modeling of dynamic application behavior. Phaedrus combines application profile generalization and application profile synthesis, integrating generative deep learning models and LLMs with static compiler analysis to predict function calls and control-flow behavior. This enables profile-guided optimization without exhaustive profiling across application inputs and demonstrates performance gains over traditional offline profiling approaches. Phaedrus improves performance by 6% on average and reduces binary size by 13.68%. 

Finally, we present Cassandra, a compiler-LLM co-reasoning framework that selectively predicts fine-grained, input-specific program behavior within computationally important regions identified through coarse-grained analysis. Cassandra first uses LLM reasoning to identify hot function chains, then applies compiler analyses and loop categorization to predict loop trip counts, invocation frequencies, and other intra-function behavior required for profile synthesis. Cassandra PGO produces leaner code than Traditional PGO and achieves aggregate runtime improvements of 1.32-1.44% over Traditional PGO.

Abstract: This talk presents ongoing work on a representation-learning framework for chemical spectra that models spectra as localized structure rather than conventional representations. The work investigates whether incorporating additional information about spectral morphology can improve reconstruction, interpretability, and downstream learning while preserving physically meaningful structure.

Abstract: We prove an Q(L/T) lower bound for first-order optimization of convex functions smooth relative to negative entropy on the simplex, showing mirror descent is nearly optimal and acceleration is generally impossible.
Unlike prior results, our prox-function is standard rather than pathological.
We extend the same non-acceleration result to quantum optimization over spectrahedra.
