Generalized Gibbs Ensemble Weighting is developed, a probabilistic framework that treats forecasting models as experts and assigns ensemble weights using a Gibbs-style exponential transformation of normalized predictive loss and produces a family of related methods, including Stable Gibbs weighting, Directional Gibbs-NCL, and Symmetric Gibbs-NCL.

This framework separates temporal alignment, plasticity, forgetting, and bounded rehearsal in recurrent sequence models, together with numerically stable positive-decay renormalization, to remain competitive in language modeling and improve length extrapolation on variable-digit addition.

This work presents a systematic study of scale vectors in LLMs from the perspectives of expressivity, optimization, and architectural structure, and proposes three lightweight and complementary improvements to scale vectors: branch-specific heterogeneity, improved placement around linear mappings, and magnitude-direction reparameterization.
This work proposes Mixture of Activations (MoA), a token-adaptive FFN design that mixes a dictionary of activation functions using lightweight input-dependent gates while sharing the same linear projections, suggesting that token-adaptive activation mixing is a simple and effective mechanism for improving FFN expressivity in LLMs.
This paper designs Markov decision processes (MDPs) for different combinatorial problems and proposes to train conditional GFlowNets to sample from the solution space and demonstrates that GFlowNet policies can efficiently find high-quality solutions.

A general framework for synthetic-augmented inference across a population of related tasks is developed, which characterizes synthetic augmentation by the number of synthetic observations and their weight and specifies a size-weight frontier that specifies, for each weight, the largest synthetic sample size for which all smaller sizes attain the target task-marginal coverage.
It is shown, through a theoretical study of the dynamics and numerical experiments, that a finite privacy budget can outperform non-private estimation in the long term when the feedback loop between leakage and participation is sufficiently strong.

This work characterize the optimal policy under known distributions, and shows that it reduces to a prediction set-based solution for the CVaR, which provides an operational interpretation of conformal prediction-type prediction sets.
Curvature-Aware Radius Shrinkage for Adaptive Nearest Neighbor Classification (CARSANN) is introduced, a geometry-driven framework that adapts the spatial support of each neighborhood according to local geometric complexity and is competitive with adaptive nearest-neighbor methods.
An Evaluation Agent, middleware that combines Natural Language Inference factual verification, a five-signal poison detector with relevance-weighted aggregation, and a Trust Index is proposed, which reliably blocks instruction injection of unsafe advice while contradiction and subtle semantic weakening remain hard.

ProphDR is an interpretable deep learning framework that integrates multiomics data and drug structural information using a hierarchical attention mechanism, and generates biologically interpretable attention maps that highlight key pharmacophores and resistance-related genes consistent with established mechanisms in NSCLC and BRCA.

Uniform stability is a classical tool for controlling the generalization error of a learning algorithm. Bousquet, Klochkov, and Zhivotovskiy (2020) showed that the problem can be reduced to a moment inequality for a sum of weakly interacting functions of independent random variables. Their bound contains an additional factor $\log n$, and they asked whether this factor can be removed. We answer this upper-bound question affirmatively. More specifically, let $Z=(Z_1,\ldots,Z_n)$ have independent coordinates and let $g_i(Z)$ satisfy $$ \mathbb E[g_i(Z)\mid Z_{-i}]=0, \qquad \left| \mathbb E[g_i(Z)\mid Z_i]\right|\le M, \qquad \forall i = \overline{1, n} $$ while changing any coordinate $Z_j$, $j\neq i$, changes $g_i$ by at most $\beta$ and $Z_{-i}$ denotes all coordinates except $Z_i$. We prove that, for every $p\ge2$, $$ \left\| \sum_{i=1}^n g_i(Z)\right\|_p \le 16pn\beta+M\sqrt{2pn}. $$ This removes the $\log n$ factor from the previous bound and matches the lower bound of Bousquet, Klochkov, and Zhivotovskiy up to universal constants in the range covered by their construction. Our proof first establishes the required estimate on the Rademacher cube, then transfers it to arbitrary product distributions by a two-copy randomization argument.
