Neuroeconomics appears to offer welfare economics an evidential supplement, since neural data may help distinguish choices that express genuine preferences from choices distorted by addiction, framing or self-control failure. This paper asks when such evidence can legitimately inform welfare judgements for policy. It d...
The Segment Anything Model (SAM) family has become a widely adopted vision foundation model, but its ability to control segmentation granularity remains limited. Users often need to refine results manually - by adding more prompts or selecting from pre-generated masks - to achieve the desired level of detail. This proc...
This paper presents Naga, a deep State Space Model (SSM) encoding approach inspired by structural concepts from Vedic mathematics. The proposed method introduces a bidirectional representation for time series by jointly processing forward and time-reversed input sequences. These representations are then combined throug...

Accurate segmentation of marine organisms is vital for biodiversity monitoring and ecological assessment, yet existing datasets and models remain largely limited to terrestrial scenes. To bridge this gap, we introduce \textbf{AquaOV255}, the first large-scale and fine-grained underwater segmentation dataset containing...

Faster convergence is the remaining target for an end-to-end gain in forward-only deep learning, and a pre-registered ablation identifies gradient detachment, not MF's auxiliary losses, as the dominant factor tested.
Autoregressive language models are usually trained with next-token prediction under a fixed left-to-right target order. This paper studies target-token organization as a training-time design choice across arithmetic reasoning, multi-label text classification, and text generation. Controlled order studies show that the...

Personalized text generation requires models not only to produce coherent text but also to align with a target user's style, tone, and topical focus. Existing retrieval-augmented approaches such as LaMP and PGraphRAG enrich profiles with user and neighbor histories, but they stop at generation and often yield outputs t...

Prompt-security claims for large language models (LLMs) are often compared as properties of individual attacks or defenses, although measured harmfulness depends on the target model, access setting, attack and defense configuration, prompt sample, and judger. We systematize 272 studies through three linked, multi-label...

Flat minima are strongly associated with improved generalisation in deep neural networks. However, this connection has proven nuanced in recent studies, with both theoretical counterexamples and empirical exceptions emerging in the literature. In this paper, we revisit the role of sharpness in model performance and exa...

Over the past couple of decades, many active learning acquisition functions have been proposed, leaving practitioners with an unclear choice of which to use. Bayesian active learning offers principled objectives with explainable intuition, including Expected Error Reduction (EER), Expected Predictive Information Gain (...
Langevin-based Thompson Sampling (TS) methods for multi-armed bandits use likelihood gradients to approximate posterior samples when exact sampling is intractable. As new rewards arrive, the posterior changes, and these methods run an inner Markov chain to approximate the updated target. To simplify this repeated sampl...

Frequency-Aware Model Parameter Explorer (Frequency-Aware Model Parameter Explorer), an attribution method that overcomes this limitation by perturbing the low- and high-frequency bands of the input independently, so that the perturbation can be shifted toward the band that matters for the model.
