In this article, we introduce the novel concept of the second maximum of a Gaussian random field defined on a Riemannian manifold: Once the field reaches its global maximum at a point $t_1$, the second maximum is the largest value of the field away from $t_1$, after the value and the gradient of the field at $t_1$ have...
Privacy auditing aims to empirically assess privacy leakage in machine learning models using membership inference attacks (MIAs), and to derive lower bounds on differential privacy (DP) parameters. Standard privacy auditing inserts a sensitive sample (a canary) into many ($\gg 100$) randomized training runs, requiring...
Predicting the effect of interventions with many possible variations, e.g., therapeutic content that affects mental health outcomes or an earnings call transcript that drives movement in share price, is useful across several domains. However, classical causal estimators tend to assume that all possible interventions ar...
Aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with human intent, whether through explicit reward modeling or direct methods such as DPO, fundamentally relies on minimizing a surrogate loss as a proxy for the true pairwise ranking objective. We prove that this reliance is flawed for the standard surrogate losses used: for the e...

Striking an optimal balance between predictive performance and fairness continues to be a fundamental challenge in machine learning. In this work, we propose a post-processing framework that facilitates fairness-aware prediction by leveraging model ensembling. Designed to operate independently of any specific model int...
Layer Normalization (LN) is usually studied for its role in optimization, but it also acts as a multivariate nonlinearity between affine layers. We investigate how grouping LN units affects the approximation power of neural networks as width grows. In Parallel Layer Normalization networks (PLN-Nets), fixed-dimensional...
Tabular foundation models (TFMs) now outperform gradient-boosted trees in classification and regression. Yet in survival analysis, which predicts when an event occurs from censored data, often on small clinical cohorts, we find that no existing TFM beats the half-century-old Cox model. We address this issue by introduc...
Neural networks offer critical adaptability for controlling complex systems where nominal modeling proves intractable. However, when offline-trained neural networks are deployed within closed-loop control systems, their actions fundamentally alter the state distribution upon which they were trained. This paper introduc...
In the best-arm identification problem, an algorithm adaptively selects arms to find the arm of the largest mean reward. Successive Rejects (SR) is a simple fixed-budget best-arm identification algorithm that eliminates one candidate arm at each phase. At first glance, SR seems to have limited adaptivity, since it foll...
Standard Bayesian experimental design (BED) methods assume the experimenter alone will act on the data, choosing the best action given their own beliefs and goals. In practice, data are often acted on by external parties whose procedures the experimenter cannot change and may not know, particularly when the data are re...
Tabular foundation models based on prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) predict on a new data set in a single forward pass, but they cannot report which inputs their predictions depend on. We propose SelectPFN, a PFN that performs Bayesian variable selection and prediction jointly for sparse nonlinear regression. In one f...
Robust covariance estimation under entry-wise contamination and missing data is challenging in various signal processing applications. Under the Student-$t$ model, observation-level reweighting induces a uniform attenuation across samples, which can lead to cumulative information loss even when most coordinates remain...
