A verifier that accepts or rejects whole answers reveals little: under a flat prior over $k$-bit answers, zero error needs $2^k-1$ verifications; under a noisy verifier, source-first protocols can lose unbounded factors in information and in error.
In many machine learning applications, it is necessary to guard against worst-case scenarios and predictions that could result in substantial losses. In principle, this can be achieved by training risk-averse predictive models that minimize loss functions such as conditional value-at-risk (CVaR), rather than relying on...

It is demonstrated how incorporating gradient information into the Gaussian process surrogate accelerates Bayesian optimization-based inference under a limited simulation budget and shows significant improvement in convergence speed from using gradient information.

Population gradient flow is a common tool for reasoning about how neural networks adapt, including after pretraining. We show that it can mispredict finite-batch stochastic gradient descent (SGD) qualitatively, and we trace the discrepancy to a specific mechanism. In a two-unit ReLU regression, a source task drives the...

This work examines two representative architectures, MAtt and GBWAtt, and finds that their learned attention weights remain close to uniform after training, and introduces SPD-MetaFormer, an attention-free architecture built on uniformly weighted Fr\'echet aggregation under log-Euclidean geometry.
Understanding why deep neural networks make a given prediction is of great importance for their safe deployment. In computer vision, saliency maps, which highlight the image region most influential for a prediction, remain a widely-used form of explanation. An empirical observation is the apparent sparsity of gradient...
Compressing a matrix for reconstruction still defaults to the truncated SVD, approximating the data with a single low-rank structure. It is common to reduce the residual further by adding an overlapping row-sparse component, but methods that solve this joint problem often require iterative solvers and tuning of regular...
Neural surrogates for vector-valued partial differential equations can fit training data yet change their predictions when the same physical state is expressed in a rotated coordinate frame. We study this failure on three-dimensional Navier--Stokes dynamics observed at irregularly placed points. We introduce the Invari...
Reliable estimation of feature contributions in machine learning models is essential for transparency, algorithmic fairness, and regulatory compliance. While permutation feature importance is widely used, classical implementations rely on repeated Monte Carlo shuffling, introducing significant computational overhead an...
Decision trees are widely used in high-stakes fields like finance and healthcare due to their interpretability. This work introduces an efficient, scalable method for generating synthetic pre-training data to enable meta-learning of decision trees. Our approach samples near-optimal decision trees synthetically, creatin...

We propose a novel, flexible, and efficient framework for designing Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) that enables practitioners to explicitly encode and extend their prior knowledge and beliefs about the concept-concept ($C-C$) and concept-task ($C \to Y$) relationships within the model's reasoning when making predicti...

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) identify treatment effects without confounding but are often small, whereas observational studies (OBS) are large but may be confounded. Many estimators combining a small RCT with a large OBS have been developed for the average treatment effect (ATE) and the conditional ATE (CATE). H...
A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
