We consider differentially private (DP) optimization in the federated setting, where a DP estimate of the feature covariance matrix serves as a Hessian approximation for generalized linear models.…
Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinomas (cHCC-CCA) are a type of cancer that share components of two other primary liver cancers: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).…
Replacing the judge can move a benchmark score, and models can be trained to hide capabilities. Both put the evaluator in question: what can it certify?
Large distribution shifts remain a primary obstacle for domain generalization and unsupervised adaptation. Although gradual domain adaptation alleviates this difficulty by introducing ordered…
A fundamental paradox plagues the deployment of Machine Learning in cybersecurity: supervised models generalize poorly to novel, Out-of-Distribution (OoD) attacks, whereas unsupervised models often…
Unlike conventional GUI agents, personalized GUI agents require user preferences to guide sequential execution over changing GUI states. This raises two challenges: determining HOW each preference…
What does it mean to have an optimal data selection algorithm? Optimality is conventionally framed as finding a subset that minimizes the population error of the classifier trained only on that…
Reliable feedback is essential for coding agents to develop programs for partial differential equations (PDEs). Yet evaluating these programs on new PDE problems often requires expensive reference…
We give an algorithm for computing an $\eps$-approximate fixed point of any $d$-dimensional nonexpansion with respect to the $\ell_\infty$ norm in time $\log(1/\eps)^{O(\log^2 d)}$. At its core, our…
Despite recent advances, current AI systems remain highly susceptible to domain shifts, particularly in biomedical imaging, where images are usually acquired under substantially different…
Mobile manipulators must navigate safely in cluttered, partially unknown environments across logistics, manufacturing, and service applications. Semi-static changes between robot visits can lead to…
Accuracy alone gives little information about which features or model components improve probabilistic fit, which outcomes benefit, or how fit changes during training. We introduce the InterModel…
We study gradient flow in a two-layer linear network in the high-dimensional regime where the input, inner and output dimensions diverge proportionally. Under whitened inputs and isotropic imbalance,…
Snake robots can traverse complex environments with limbless locomotion, but maneuvering in low-clearance environments remains challenging because a gait must maintain a small swept height while also…
We propose a novel stochastic cascading bandit setup where probing an ordered shortlist of $K$ out of $L$ arms incurs position-dependent costs, and the learner observes only noisy feedback regarding…
Training coding agents typically updates the policy while keeping the harness fixed. During training, trajectories reveal flawed repair strategies and interaction problems that vary across tasks and…
Many problems in signal processing, machine learning, and neuroimaging provide several jointly observed measurements of one process, each mixing a component common to all of them with a component…
Natural direct and indirect effects are defined through cross-world interventional counterfactuals. We propose an alternative construction based on backtracking counterfactuals.
We revisit the problem of depth separation for neural networks, as studied by Eldan and Shamir, Daniely, and others. Specifically, we consider the natural setting of $L^2$ approximation of radial…
Tactile representation learning for dexterous manipulation often requires substantial robot-side data collection, limiting its scalability across different hands and sensors. We explore whether…
Despite substantial progress in Deep Search agents, their ability to conduct end-to-end research in real-world open Web environments remains insufficiently evaluated. Unlike static retrieval…
We study robust prediction when the training data come from a single observational distribution. Causality-oriented methods for robust prediction usually use heterogeneity across observed…
We study Fréchet means in orbit spaces of finite orthogonal group actions. Since computing these means is NP-hard in general, we take inspiration from group synchronization to develop tractable…
