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…
Random jump forests are introduced as a nonparametric tool for estimating conditional cumulative transition rates and occupation probabilities in multi-state models. The main idea is that a single…
Long-term environmental IoT/LPWAN deployments often aggregate heterogeneous data streams from diverse devices without systematic auditing of each variable's actual coverage prior to analysis-an…
Supervised contrastive learning and its balanced variants have demonstrated their effectiveness for representation learning under long-tailed distributions. However, although prior analyses suggest…
Hierarchical language generation separates continuous semantic modeling from discrete text realization, but its effectiveness depends on what the latent space compresses and how the discrete…
LLM memory is widely used in long-term conversation understanding. Agentic memory systems often use mutation, structural organization, learned retrieval strategies, or other complex operations.
This paper addresses the problem of creating immersive volumetric videos from sparse and low-resolution capture resources. Conventional dense multi-view reconstruction methods can produce…
Agent harnesses have become a central component of modern agentic systems, shaping how models use tools, manage context, and coordinate long-horizon interaction. Realizing the benefits of these…
The CODIACS Vanguard randomized trial compared a depression care intervention with usual care for patients with persistent depressive symptoms following acute coronary syndrome. We assess whether its…
Many recent open-weight language models use n-gram embedding tables to improve performance. These tables store learned representations of short token sequences, such as pairs or triples of…
Agentic reinforcement learning rewards a complete episode, yet the policy needs credit for every decision inside it. Counterfactual branching estimates this credit by re-running the episode after an…
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…
Systems that aim to help a user engage with viewpoints other than their own have to decide how different those viewpoints should be. Viewpoints are mainly represented on a scalar scale, too coarse to…
Deep learning (DL) methods have substantially improved predictive performance across a wide range of downstream prediction tasks, enabling new discoveries in multiple domains. However, principled DL…
Scaling embedding capacity alongside Transformer computation is an emerging trend in language models. This trend makes high compression rates increasingly useful.
Memory enables language agents to carry useful distinctions from past experience into future decisions. Its value depends on which distinctions survive, whether a bounded agent can use them, and what…
A strong direct tree model may remain the best standalone photovoltaic forecaster, yet a weighted combination can reduce its residual errors. We examine whether complementary temporal predictors can…
Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) learn world models in latent space, enabling efficient planning but leaving their states opaque. We introduce Inside-JEPA, which places relational…
Computer-model calibration is usually undertaken in service of prediction, yet neither Bayesian Kennedy-O'Hagan (KOH) calibration nor amortized simulation-based inference is built to control the…
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…
We study an intermediary that buys nonperishing items from arriving sellers and sells them to arriving buyers, subject to limited storage. Sellers and buyers arrive according to independent Poisson…
Aggregating CNN responses into a compact discriminative vector, given their lack of geometric invariance, is a challenge. To address this challenge, we propose a codebook-free method to encode…
Long-context models often use answer-bearing evidence less effectively when it appears away from a prompt boundary. We compare this position bias across Transformer, state-space, and hybrid Mamba…
Real-world deployment of personalized federated learning (PFL) requires adapting to heterogeneous clients while preserving recognition performance beyond local distributions. However, high local…
