Dimension-reduction methods such as PCA identify a subspace capturing most of the variation in the data, but not a distinguished basis within it. Selecting a basis in which the samples are sparsely…
Differences in musculoskeletal morphology challenge policy reuse across individual models. Here we present MyoAcross, a framework that combines individual musculoskeletal model construction,…
We study the computational complexity of clairvoyant strategy optimization against a known online learner in finite-horizon repeated games. In general-sum games with bounded payoffs, unless…
We study minimax rates for conditional generative learning under integrated Wasserstein loss, with Hölder continuous conditional laws and an unrestricted covariate distribution. We evaluate…
We develop a unified framework for assortment optimization and matching under multinomial logit (MNL) choice, yielding simple algorithms and analyses across a broad class of problems. The framework…
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…
We study fair division of uncertain items, where the utility of each item is a random variable whose realization is observed only after the allocation is determined. This uncertainty creates a…
We study the order-selection prophet inequality. A gambler knows the distributions of independent nonnegative random values, chooses the order in which to inspect them, and may irrevocably accept at…
We study online fair division of indivisible goods among $n$ agents with frequency predictions: before any good arrives, the algorithm learns the multiset of each agent's values for the goods, but…
A scalar measurement can determine a robust decision without identifying the latent covariance or every decision risk. We study finite Gaussian projection experiments with a fixed…
Benade et al. (EC 2024) introduced a semi-random model for non-additive fair division in which each agent starts with an arbitrary base valuation over bundles of items and independently permutes the…
Physical wave processors are constrained by diffraction, but the bandwidth of the mathematical functions they implement need not be set by it. Here, we demonstrate continuous and multiplexed optical…
Given a random probability distribution \(F\), whose realizations are defined on \(\mathbb R^d\), and a kernel \(k\), our aim is to analyze the properties of the kernel mean embedding, \(μ_F\), of…
Supervised contrastive learning and its balanced variants have demonstrated their effectiveness for representation learning under long-tailed distributions. However, although prior analyses suggest…
Frontier coding agents are becoming increasingly adept at 3D modeling. Yet, they still face challenges when building objects meant to be assembled in the physical world, often creating invalid…
This paper studies category-level RGB-D object pose estimation, which recovers an object's 3D rotation and translation without instance-specific CAD models or reference views. This task is highly…
Masked diffusion language models generate tokens in parallel, but their efficiency depends on which predictions are committed. Learned unmasking policies improve the speed--accuracy trade-off, yet…
Sequence compression is a fundamental operation and a critical information bottleneck in efficient language and multimodal models, and yet prevailing approaches based on pooling or learned…
Accurate hippocampal segmentation can be a useful tool for diagnosing and monitoring neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. While numerous automated segmentation methods…
Vision-language models (VLMs) can perform a broad range of tasks across diverse settings, yet their performance in agentic contexts remains poorly understood. Although online evaluations in…
Text-to-speech (TTS) is usually evaluated by transcribing its output with an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, so the word error rate also counts recognizer errors. We measure these errors…
Building virtual embodied agents that operate in open-ended games like human players is a long-standing goal requiring both long-horizon autonomy and reliable native-interface control. As a…
Real-world deployment of personalized federated learning (PFL) requires adapting to heterogeneous clients while preserving recognition performance beyond local distributions. However, high local…
The performance of medical image segmentation depends on a large amount of annotated data, and most segmentation models experience a significant drop in performance in low-sample-size scenarios.…
