Model selection and hyperparameter tuning pose a central challenge in off-policy evaluation (OPE) because errors of fitted Q-functions and occupancy-ratio estimates cannot be directly evaluated from…
Multi-objective reinforcement learning is a fundamental problem for modern AI, with applications spanning post-training, reasoning models, and robotic control. A central challenge is to learn…
Standard reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms based on Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are vulnerable to sim-to-real gaps. To address this issue, distributionally robust RL algorithms based on…
Many decision-making tasks are inherently multi-objective. Interactive evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms (iEMOAs) are particularly well-suited to help the decision-maker find their…
Bayesian variants of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) provide principled uncertainty estimation when fine-tuning large foundation models, but require specifying the prior over the low-rank weight updates.…
Structured sparse learning is a leading paradigm for high-dimensional data modeling, as it enables rigorous integration of domain-validated structural priors into the learning process. Among these…
Source selection often favors similar data, yet marginal proximity need not identify the most useful pretraining source. We motivate a conditional alternative through domain-adaptation theory and a…
Conformal Risk Control (CRC) extends conformal prediction beyond the coverage setting to the control of general monotone loss functions, in a distribution-free and modelagnostic fashion. This makes…
Novelty detection is an important area of research in both statistics and machine learning. In this paper, we focus on the conditional novelty detection problem, where novelties arise from the…
Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) offers efficient learning and inference for resource-constrained systems, yet ownership verification of its models remains underexplored. We present the first…
While progress in informal mathematics has come largely from scaling the chain-of-thought and agentic reasoning of frontier language models, formal theorem proving has increasingly relied on…
Spatial audio authoring coordinates source decisions with soundfield synthesis. For editing, plans specify what to change and retain, while reference audio supplies further acoustic detail.
Language agents increasingly act through external tools and interactive environments, making the interface between the model and its executable capabilities part of the decision process. Model…
In this paper, we introduce Δτ-Bench, an executable agent benchmark that models the structural evolution of large tool ecosystems. In Δτ-Bench, independently evolving services continually reshape how…
Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as the primary paradigm for optimizing Large Language Model (LLM) agents, yet efficient critic-free algorithms (e.g., GRPO) suffer from a fundamental uniform…
Developers download quantized large language models (LLMs) from public registries to run them locally. None of the registries we examined documented functional testing of their files.
Text injection trains speech recognition models on unpaired text alongside paired audio. We feed the speech encoder synthetic input derived from text so the whole model learns from it.
Spatio-temporal graph neural networks combine a node's history with information from graph neighbors. The central question is whether graph neighbors provide predictive information beyond each node's…
Foundation models provide powerful representations for unstructured data, such as text and images, and parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) makes their adaptation to downstream tasks increasingly…
