Data Quality Audit and Bivariate Temperature-Humidity Analysis of a Long-Term LoRaWAN Network: Anomaly Detection, PCA, Clustering and Machine Learning

Long-term environmental IoT/LPWAN deployments often aggregate heterogeneous data streams from diverse devices without systematic auditing of each variable's actual coverage prior to analysis-an increased risk when multiple sensor types coexist within the same network. This work proposes a C++17 processing pipeline appl...

When Does Dynamics Randomization Test Context Inference?

Environments with randomized dynamics are widely used to ask whether world models need explicit context inference. However, randomization can leave little predictive information for a context encoder to add, because distinct latent parameters may produce similar transitions at visited states, or those states may alread...

Detection and Validation of Hidden Subgroup Disparities in Clinical AI

Machine learning (ML) models used in clinical workflows often perform systematically differently across patient groups, raising concerns about equity and patient safety. Traditional subgroup analyses can expose such disparities only when rich metadata (e.g., patient demographics) is available and captures the sources o...

Optimal Multiclass Online Regret with Arbitrary Label Spaces

We determine the optimal regret in agnostic multiclass online learning with arbitrary, possibly infinite, label spaces. For every hypothesis class of multiclass Littlestone dimension $d<\infty$, we prove a regret upper bound of $O(\min\{T,\sqrt{dT}\})$ over $T$ rounds, matching the known lower bound. This resolves a qu...

When to Trust Memory: Retrieval-Guided Probabilistic Spatiotemporal Forecasting under Distribution Shift

Spatiotemporal forecasting plays an important role in real-world applications, where probabilistic approaches provide uncertainty estimates for decision-making. Real-world systems are inherently non-stationary, leading to distribution shifts between training and test data. However, existing probabilistic methods mainly...

SKG in Practice: OOD Generalization Cases Across FourDomains

This paper presents the engineering implementation methods of the SKG inference framework and provides complete case studies across four domains. Case 1, 2D Dissipative Mechanical System: OOD MSE is 1.69 to 4.12 times lower than the best neural baseline; the state-dependent metric yields a 10^8-order improvement under...

BiLoCo: Binary Low-Rank Corrections for Post-Training Quantization

Post-training quantization (PTQ) to FP4 has emerged as a key technique for reducing large language model inference cost, especially on Blackwell GPUs, which offer native FP4 tensor core support. Direct PTQ to FP4, however, still leaves a noticeable accuracy gap. Recent work on SVDQuant mitigates the errors introduced t...

Correct but Unselectable: The Hidden Interface Tax in Multi-Candidate Reasoning

Small language models deployed under cost, latency, or privacy constraints cannot simply switch to larger models when reasoning fails. Multi-candidate generate-then-rerank offers a natural test-time scaling route. However, more candidates do not always yield higher accuracy. We identify a previously overlooked bottlene...

MS-TTRL: Breaking the Frequency Conflict in Multiple-Solution Test-Time Reinforcement Learning

Scientific, engineering, and mathematical reasoning tasks can admit multiple valid solutions, while exhaustive annotation of the full solution set is often prohibitively costly. Test-time reinforcement learning (TTRL) applies reinforcement learning to unlabeled test instances, offering a label-free approach to multiple...

EVOLVE: Uncertainty-Aware Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Prediction with Adaptive Prototype Memories

Unsupervised multivariate time series anomaly prediction (AP) aims to estimate future anomaly risks from current observations, providing early-warning signals for proactive intervention and maintenance in complex systems. Existing unsupervised AP methods follow a perturbation-based paradigm, where predefined or random...

CFBrainAug: Modularity-Induced Counterfactual Brain Network Augmentation for Interpretable fMRI-based Autism Diagnosis

Machine learning on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) brain networks is promising for diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but existing methods are prone to overfitting on limited training data, and their post-hoc statistical attribution offers limited clinical interpretability. We pro...

Curvature-Aware Clipping: Mitigating Bias in DPSGD via Approximate Second-Order Information

Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DPSGD) has become the de facto standard for training deep neural networks with rigorous privacy guarantees. However, the utility of DPSGD is constrained by gradient clipping bias and DP noise. While existing work has tried to address these issues, the geometric misali...
