Conformal Policy Learning with Distribution-Free Safety Guarantees

Conformal policy learning (CPL) is proposed, a policy learning procedure with a new distribution-free safety guarantee that controls the probability of assigning treatment to an individual who would be harmed relative to control and achieves asymptotically optimal welfare subject to the safety constraint.

Splitting the Difference: Interpretable Causal Forests for Treatment Effect Heterogeneity and Bias

In various fields, such as medicine and marketing, accurately predicting individual treatment effects holds significant promise. However, achieving reliable predictions alone is often insufficient for making informed decisions; it is equally important to understand why the treatment effect is higher for some individual...

Causal Discovery via Transformed Low-Rank Quantile Surfaces

We propose Low-Rank Quantile Surfaces (LRQS), a bivariate causal model in which, in the causal direction, an unknown monotone transformation of the conditional quantile surface admits a low-rank functional decomposition. LRQS subsumes location-scale noise models and post-nonlinear heteroscedastic noise models, while al...

On the disintegration of the stochastic majority vote: From PAC-Bayesian bounds to a self-bounding algorithm

A derandomization framework for stochastic majority votes is proposed that derives two families of high-probability generalization bounds, covering both data-independent and data-dependent constructions of the ensemble, which naturally lead to a self-bounding learning algorithm optimizing deterministic majority vote gu...

Time-warping estimation via stationarity-based learning of the de-warped signal

Time-warping estimation is a fundamental problem in signal processing with applications in bioacoustics, radar, and biomedical analysis. This paper introduces a Time-Warping Estimation Trainable (TWET) model for estimating timewarping functions from a single observation. The proposed approach formulates time-warping es...

Certified Inference and Training for Deep Equilibrium Networks: A Continuation Framework with Polynomial Complexity Guarantees

We develop a certified continuation framework for inference and training in deep equilibrium networks (DEQs), with training posed as interpolation to accuracy $2^{-b}$. For inference, input homotopy selects an equilibrium branch from a supplied start root, and a rounded tracker follows it under quantitative conditionin...

Learned Look-Ahead Splitting Rule for CART

A look-ahead tree-building method that evaluates each candidate split by the prediction error reduction achieved after growing a conventional CART subtree below that split, and a smart look-ahead algorithm that learns downstream split values using node-level features are described.

Compute-Optimal Pretrain--Fine-tune in Ridge Gradient Descent

This paper characterise the optimal split under data-dependent evaluation geometries induced by the fine-tuning problem as a compute-split problem under a two-stage pretrain--fine-tune procedure with fixed total optimisation budget, using regularised least squares trained by gradient descent as a tractable setting.

Coupled Calibration and Learning: Mitigating Teacher Bias in LLM Distillation without Target-Domain Reward Feedback

Coupled Calibration and Learning (CCL) is proposed, an LLM distillation algorithm that couples teacher calibration with student updates through token-level branching, using reward feedback only on source questions.
