Dataset Pruning from First Principles: A Label-Free Linear Programming Approach

Dataset pruning reduces a large training set to a representative subset while preserving model performance. Existing geometry-based methods typically assume that nearby points in embedding space share similar properties. Rather than imposing this assumption, we derive geometric selection criteria by reformulating unbia...

Data Reuse in Non-Stationary Learning

This paper proposes a class of anytime algorithms, dubbed Exposure-Capped Reuse (ECR), that combine online change detection, compatibility testing, and contamination control, and derives a novel information-theoretic lower bound that establishes the near-minimax optimality of ECR.

Neural Sampling with Reweighted Normalizing Flows via the Wasserstein--Fisher--Rao JKO Scheme

We propose a neural algorithm for sampling from distributions specified by unnormalized Boltzmann densities. Our approach is based on the Jordan--Kinderlehrer--Otto scheme for the Kullback--Leibler divergence in the Wasserstein--Fisher--Rao geometry (WFR JKO scheme). Our contributions are twofold. First, we prove that,...

RoBART: Bayesian Additive Regression Trees with Tree-Specific Rotations

Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) can require many splits to approximate boundaries misaligned with the predictor axes. RoBART assigns each tree a rotation shared by all internal nodes, retaining axis-aligned splits in rotated coordinates and constant leaves. We jointly propose a Givens rotation sequence and cu...

Computations of the slice genus and the unknotting number of links via machine learning

Links are disjoint unions of circles smoothly embedded in $S^3$. We use reinforcement learning and Bayesian optimisation to obtain new upper bounds on several link invariants that are not known to be algorithmically computable: the slice genus and the unknotting number for links, and the strong slice genus for algebrai...

Broadly Applicable Approximate MCMC for Switching Stochastic Differential Equations Using Uniformization and Time-Conditioned Factorized Neural Likelihood Estimation

Switching stochastic differential equations (SSDEs) describe continuous-time dynamics whose parameters switch according to a latent regime process that follows a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC). By allowing dynamics to change between regimes, SSDEs represent heterogeneous system behavior and have been applied acros...

Universal Local Error and Realized Amplification for the First-Order EDM Predictor

We analyze the first-order deterministic diffusion sampler of Karras et al. (2022), termed EDM, in 2-Wasserstein distance by separating two sources of error: local discretization error and its amplification by subsequent learned steps. We prove that local error admits a universal bound: for any data distribution with f...

Kinetic Langevin Meets Split Gibbs: Accelerated Posterior Sampling for Imaging Inverse Problems with Diffusion Priors

Split Gibbs sampling (SGS) is a popular framework for posterior sampling in Bayesian imaging inverse problems. It decouples a Gaussian data-fidelity term from a complex prior through an auxiliary variable, so the data variable is updated exactly and only the prior-side conditional is hard to sample. Existing samplers t...

Conformal Prediction for Spatially Dependent Data via Sequential Whitening

Split conformal prediction uses prediction errors on held-out (calibration) data to determine how wide the prediction intervals should be. It guarantees distribution-free finite-sample coverage when these errors and the error at the target site are exchangeable. This assumption may fail under spatial dependence and non...

Towards Calibrated Probabilistic Forecasts for Events of Interest via Outcome-Conditional Recalibration

Calibration is an essential requirement for probabilistic predictions to be useful for decision making. While state-of-the-art prediction methods often yield miscalibrated predictive distributions, several post-hoc recalibration schemes have been proposed to generate calibrated predictions. However, popular recalibrati...

Transition Path Sampling Using Koopman Operators and Exit-Time Optimal Control

This work derives the optimal controller in closed form and approximate it in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), which reduces the problem of constructing the optimal controller to solving a single equality-constrained quadratic program, whose solution can be characterized by a linear Karush-Kuhn-Tucker system.

Gaussian Equivalence for Multi-Head Self-Attention

Using random matrix theory, Gaussian equivalence is established for multi-head self-attention: replacing softmax attention with rescaled scores plus Gaussian noise preserves the limiting spectral law of the centered output.
