Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) offers efficient learning and inference for resource-constrained systems, yet ownership verification of its models remains underexplored. We present the first…
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…
Historical document binarization remains challenging when faded ink, bleed-through, and background degradation exhibit wavelength-dependent behavior across visible and near-infrared observations.…
AI-assisted editing can produce loan documents that preserve familiar issuer layouts while changing the applicant's identity. We investigated whether experienced underwriters and loan processors…
Can a small change in wording move an AI model from refusing a sensitive request to acting on it? We test 15 models on the same request to increase the income shown on a pay stub.
SNNs are attracting interest due to their potential for energy efficiency and event-driven processing. However, neuromorphic hardware is not yet mature enough to enable embedded deployment of complex…
We study turn-based deterministic zero-sum games with discounted and long-run average costs. For discounted costs, we establish exponential and superpolynomial iteration lower bounds for the simple…
Scientific inference often involves observations from multiple latent populations whose class memberships are uncertain and must be inferred from available data. While full Bayesian mixture modelling…
As neuromorphic systems scale to thousands of near-memory cores, aging-induced permanent faults in neuron-update datapaths become an important obstacle to long-term deployment. Existing online…
Neural simulation is an essential methodology for studying biological nervous systems, but it remains limited by the computational costs of repeatedly updating neural and synaptic states over many…
Randomized clinical trials are essential for evaluating interventions, yet average treatment effects can obscure treatment effect heterogeneity, making conditional average treatment effects (CATEs) a…
Mean-Payoff Games (MPGs) form an interesting family of deterministic, infinite-duration, zero-sum, turn-based games played by two players on a finite weighted directed graph. The goal of the players…
Semi-implicit variational inference (SIVI) expands the representational capacity of variational families, but optimizing the Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO) remains challenging because the marginal score…
Before a new policy replaces a deployed one, we often want a certificate, computed from logged episodes, that it is better. We ask how many episodes such a certificate needs when the logging policy…
Uniform convergence asks how many random samples suffice for empirical averages to approximate expectations simultaneously over an entire class of functions. It is a central concept in probability…
Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) typically stores only scalar mean estimates, which makes it poorly suited for tail-risk objectives such as conditional value-at-risk (CVaR). We introduce Categorical…
We introduce a conformal prediction framework for regression with Grassmann-valued responses. The proposed method constructs prediction regions in the form of metric balls directly on the Grassmann…
Causal foundation models (CFMs) show promising results for treatment-effect estimation, with unit-level estimates that are competitive on standard benchmarks. Many causal analyses, however, inform…
Most analyses of neural representations focus on trained endpoints, leaving the process by which internal structure forms comparatively unmeasured. We instead treat representation formation itself as…
Large language models are trained to predict tokens from a finite vocabulary, each represented by a vector in a $d$-dimensional embedding space. Therefore, token prediction is a classification…
Hybrid forecasting systems combining machine learning and numerical weather prediction offer a promising route toward improved forecast skill while preserving physical consistency. In this study, we…
Neural architecture search (NAS) is expensive, but cross-task transfer can reduce costs by reusing knowledge from previous tasks. However, existing methods struggle with sparse search histories and…
Background-error covariance models are central to atmospheric data assimilation because they spread partial observational information across space, variables, and dynamically coupled scales. Ensemble…
Single-image 3D generation has achieved high fidelity on curated benchmarks, yet degrades sharply on real-world images with uneven illumination, blur, and occlusions. Purifying such inputs requires…
