Within the broader landscape of artificial intelligence architectures, this paper introduces a compact, edge-centric neural framework that resolves the computational bottlenecks of modern…
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…
In reinforcement learning, one presumes the action set to be known ahead of time, and, thus, one must know if any state-action pairs are not permissible ahead of computations. In some applications,…
Prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) have recently gained popularity as an end-to-end approach to amortized Bayesian inference. Yet, their statistical behavior for semi-parametric targets, such as means…
Sparse variational Gaussian processes (SVGPs) are a widely used, principled approach to scalable Gaussian process modelling. Their success stems from their theoretically interpretable structure: they…
Groundwater in Ghana's Densu River Basin remains a key domestic water source, but multi-metal contamination threatens children's health. Previous deterministic hazard index assessments provide…
The Wave Optics Optimizer (WOO) incorporates optical diffraction and interference into numerical optimization and has shown competitive performance in benchmarks and engineering applications.…
Empirical averages are fundamental statistical primitives. On nonlinear spaces, their generalization, the Fréchet mean, generally lacks a closed-form solution, and its computation requires solving an…
Standard Bayesian experimental design (BED) methods assume the experimenter alone will act on the data, choosing the best action given their own beliefs and goals. In practice, data are often acted…
Bayesian mixtures, and Solomonoff induction in particular, provide an idealized model of prediction learned by minimizing population log loss, and they underlie universal agents such as AIXI. An…
The neighborhood topology of particle swarm optimization (PSO) determines information propagation and regulates the exploration-exploitation balance. However, existing evaluation methods based on…
We investigate k-submodular cover problem with a matroid constraint on an n-element ground set V , which seeks k disjoint subsets of V with minimal cost, where their union is an independent set for…
Generalized circuits are a fundamental tool for establishing PPAD-hardness and membership of approximate equilibrium problems. Despite their importance, the complexity of finding approximate…
Bayesian Causal Forests (BCF) estimate heterogeneous treatment effects with a separate ensemble of treatment trees. The prior on the leaf values of the treatment trees determines whether sampling…
The goal of this paper is to distill insight around the trade-offs present on Bayesian equilibria of transaction fee mechanism (TFM) design under $n$ multiple concurrent proposers (MCP). We…
This paper considers the Bayesian top-$k$ identification problem, wherein a decision maker is tasked with selecting $k$ items from a pool of items of unknown quality. To assess the items, the…
Architectural and structural design optimization in parametric software affords about a thousand evaluations of an expensive model for problems with tens of variables, a regime for which most…
Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) learns from pairwise preferences through a logistic objective whose score-difference parameterization follows the Bradley--Terry model. We study how failure of…
Exact demographic parity requires the same prediction distribution across sensitive groups. In regression, this can be too restrictive and reduce predictive accuracy.
We study the problem of non-stationary bandits without knowledge of the environmental changes. We propose Detection Augmented Learning (DAL) a black-box paradigm that comprises three modular…
The block generalized-power method pairs threshold-based support selection with inexpensive Stiefel updates, but the standard block formulation conflates two nonequivalent objectives and leaves…
There is growing evidence that the performance of a neural network depends largely on a small subset of its weights, which are typically identified by training a dense network and pruning it…
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…
