As AI agents reshape Web search and advertising, platforms can monetize information that improves decisions. We study information pricing for sequential search among independent alternatives with…
With the rapid development of modern scientific research, tensor data have become increasingly prevalent across a wide range of fields. How to effectively characterize the relationship between tensor…
Synthetic data is an important data source in the AI era. This paper studies the generation of mixed-type tabular synthetic data in federated settings, where two key challenges arise: ensuring…
A common measure of the quality of a voting rule is the social welfare of the alternatives it elects. Prior work shows that, when voter utilities are drawn from a neutral distribution, expected…
We determine the optimal regret in agnostic multiclass online learning with arbitrary, possibly infinite, label spaces. For every hypothesis class of multiclass Littlestone dimension $d<\infty$, we…
Whether a federated predictor benefits an individual client depends on both population heterogeneity and estimation uncertainty. We study this question for Nadaraya--Watson regression in a triangular…
The growth of time-series datasets and foundation models has made dataset comparison a central part of time-series workflows. Assessing source-target transfer before model adaptation requires…
While monolingual language model (LM) surprisal is widely established as a predictor of reading times, it cannot capture the non-native (L2) reading dynamics that are shaped by the reader's first…
Individual preferences often become visible only after deployment, when a user accepts one decision or revokes it in favor of another. Jev-style typed interfaces make this feedback explicit by…
Recommender systems typically serve one user at a time. However, in households, members share a finite pantry and follow different dietary rules, making independent recommendations prone to resource…
Given an unseen graph, a start node, $s$, and an end node, $t$, can a language model generate the shortest path from $s$ to $t$? Prior work has found that models fail to learn this task as the graphs…
Automated agentic-system design is typically evaluated on static task suites with immediate scalar rewards. Deployed systems face persistent shift, delayed dependent feedback, correlated component…
As the use of AI, and consequently its harms, becomes more prevalent, the global discourse around AI has become increasingly risk-aware. With new risks emerging more frequently than ever, a key…
Autonomous research agents are increasingly used to automate large portions of scientific research, yet they are prone to research integrity violations (RIVs): behaviors that compromise the validity,…
Continuous-time stochastic differential equations (SDEs) provide a natural framework for modeling interacting dynamical systems. A central causal question is whether causal effects among observed…
The growth of time-series datasets and foundation models has made dataset comparison a central part of time-series workflows. Assessing source-target transfer before model adaptation requires…
Notation3 Logic was introduced as an extension of RDF allowing the user to express rules on top of triples and to make statements about graphs. The original proposal of the logic only came with an…
We construct a continuous function on $[-1,1]^2$ for which the infimum of the $L^2$-approximation error over the class of ReLU networks with two hidden layers and architecture $(2,2,1,1)$ is not…
Risk prediction models are frequently evaluated with AUC, which means that during evaluation we are blind to performance heterogeneity, which could lead to bad decision-making in clinics. In this…
Modern high energy nuclear and particle physics experiments produce large amounts of sparse data that must be reduced significantly in size before performing physics analysis. Recently, there has…
Recent magnetometer-free inertial measurement unit (IMU) methods can reduce drift in joint motion estimation using rigid-body constraints, but they typically require pre-calibrated sensor locations,…
Automated manufacturing requires data-driven decisions under uncertainty and sparse observational records, and unplanned downtime is a dominant cost of getting them wrong. Prescriptive maintenance…
We present an optimized approach for finding minimal move sequences to solve Flood-It puzzles using A* search and compare it with approaches using SAT, Integer Programming, and Constraint Programming…
