U-NeXt: General-purpose event detection for neonatal EEG

We developed U-NeXt, a general framework for neonatal electroencephalography (EEG) event detection based on semantic segmentation. Its convolutional encoder-decoder directly segments individual channels using long input segments to preserve temporal context. A shared architecture and training framework were developed u...

CARES: Coverage-Aware Replay Exemplar Selection for Continual Learning

Replay-based Continual Learning mitigates catastrophic forgetting by keeping a buffer of past samples, making buffer composition critical under a fixed memory budget. Recent coreset-based replay methods improve buffer quality using model-derived gradients, losses, or auxiliary optimization, but incur substantial comput...

Deep Learning-Based Prediction of HER2 Status from Whole-Brain MRI in Breast Cancer Brain Metastases

Purpose: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status is a key biomarker relevant for prognostication and treatment decision making in metastatic breast cancer. Thus, the aim of this work was to explore whether HER2 status can be predicted directly from whole-brain post-contrast T1-weighted (T1w) MRI scans in...

Direction-Aware Token Credit Assignment with Reward-Model Gradients

GRPO shares a response-level advantage across tokens, leaving unresolved how strongly each token should contribute to learning. Updates induced by the shared advantage reinforce or suppress the sampled token at each position, but these updates do not always point toward increasing reward at the token level. This motiva...

On the Identifiability of Hybrid Deep Generative Models: Meta-Learning as a Solution

The interest in leveraging physics-based inductive bias in deep learning has resulted in recent development of hybrid deep generative models (hybrid-DGMs) that integrate known physics-based mathematical expressions in neural generative models. To identify these hybrid-DGMs requires inferring parameters of the physics-b...

Strongly Adaptive Online Learning with Time-Varying Movement Costs

We study strongly adaptive regret for Online Convex Optimization (OCO) with time-varying movement costs, a setting that evaluates a learner's performance over arbitrary sub-intervals. This framework captures complex sequential decision-making problems where both the environment and the cost of switching decisions fluct...

DT-JEPA: Learning to Predict Future Representations for Decision-Making

Decision Transformer (DT) has demonstrated strong performance in various offline reinforcement learning (RL) tasks by conditioning action generation on expected future returns and historical trajectories. However, treating expected future returns as the condition provides an incomplete description of the future, as tra...

WL-SeqVAE: Sequence-Based Graph Generation Using Variational Autoencoders and Weisfeiler-Leman Colors

In this paper, we introduce WL-SeqVAE, a sequence-based variational autoencoder for generating graphs. The key observation behind WL-SeqVAE is that node colors induced by the Weisfeiler-Leman (WL) algorithm provide compact discrete summaries of local graph structure and can therefore serve as structural tokens for gene...

The Standard Deviation in VICReg Buys a Safety Margin

VICReg prevents collapse with a hinge on the standard deviation of each embedding dimension, and its authors argue from the gradient that a hinge on the variance would fail. To our knowledge, this claim has not been tested experimentally. We test it in a controlled setting (ResNet-18, CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100), changing...

Earth embeddings are decomposable records of the land surface

Ecological monitoring, carbon accounting and biodiversity assessment increasingly rely on annual Earth embeddings--learned vectors that compress a year of satellite observation for every ten-meter pixel on Earth, consumed in place of the imagery itself. What these vectors mean has not been established. Here we decompos...

Interpreting Supervised Pairwise Graph Representations: Local Evidence, Confounding, and Provable Post-hoc Correction

Supervised pairwise graph representations convert pairwise predictive relations into sample-specific graphs, but graph-level accuracy does not by itself show that higher-order topology carries the signal. In a controlled Transformer error-detection task, supervised pairwise graphs outperform attention-as-adjacency (ROC...

Trajectory Matching: Discrete Flow Matching with Structured Actions

The natural units of structured discrete generation are often not independent single-component edits but richer actions: attaching a fragment to a molecule, inserting a node together with an incident edge, or growing a hierarchy by adding a child. Yet most existing discrete flow matching methods (DFM) are restricted to...
