Implementing neural network mixed-effects models in Template Model Builder (TMB)

A general framework for implementing NMMs using Template Model Builder (TMB), which automatically integrates out random effects and evaluates the marginal objective function alongside its exact gradients, eliminating the need for manual derivations or ad hoc approximations.

Learning the Geometry of Admissible Hypotheses through Inductive Bias in Training Distributions

This work presents a framework for learning continuous latent representations of admissible partial differential equations by embedding a scientific inductive bias directly into the training distribution, and shows that embedding a scientific inductive bias in the training distribution enables the learning of compact a...

Informative Label Missingness in Multiclass Classification Information Geometry and Excess Risk

A classification-weighted generalized-eigenvalue criterion is developed under which informative partial classification may have smaller asymptotic classification risk without globally dominating complete classification in Fisher information.

Learning Representations through Token Prediction: Geometry, Approximation, and Downstream Guarantees

A statistical framework connecting token prediction with representation geometry, encoder approximation, and downstream performance is developed, introducing a self-consistency principle showing that repeated applications of a shared representation block can progressively refine the contextual representation without in...

A Deep Latent Variable Framework for Jointly Modeling Missingness, Measurement Error, and Heterogeneity

A unified probabilistic framework that jointly addresses missing data, measurement error, and population heterogeneity utilizing deep latent variable representation is proposed that integrates a novel hierarchical tree-routed variational autoencoder with pattern-aware latent representations and calibration-based denois...

Neural ODE enhanced linear mixed effect models for estimating complex association patterns of time-varying covariates with the marker trajectory

The Neural ODE-LMM is proposed, which embeds a Neural Ordinary Differential Equation (Neural ODE) within the linear mixed-effects framework: a learned vector field encodes covariate trajectories into a continuous-time latent state that drives both the fixed- and random-effect design, while preserving the standard LMM o...

Deciding When to Decide: Testing Operational Suboptimality Under Distributional Shift

This work proposes \texttt{RADAR} (Regret-based Assessment of Decision Adequacy and Risk), a decision-focused framework that uses inverse optimization to infer latent preferences and tests the deployed decision's optimality gap under the current distribution.

Content Exploration Beyond the Feed: Creator Supply and the Shared Corpus

This work analyzes four experiments on a major short-video platform, establishing a positive creator response, measuring the gross corpus flow visible within three weeks, and showing the design and duration needed to identify total value.

Signed random Fourier features for fast density estimation with indefinite kernels

The signed random Fourier features (SRFF) technique is introduced, a generalization of RFF compatible with indefinite kernels whose inverse Fourier transform is absolutely integrable and speed up KDE in the case of multivariate compact kernels, which are generally not positive definite.

Uniform Statistical Convergence of Empirical Sinkhorn Potentials with Exponential and Polynomial Dependence on the Regularization Parameter

We study the empirical Sinkhorn estimator of the entropic optimal transport potentials under the uniform loss. Since the potentials are only unique up to additive constants, we measure the error using the quotient supremum norm, defined as $d_\infty([u],[v]) = \inf_{a\in\mathbb{R}}\|u-v-a\|_\infty$. For a fixed regular...
