Context-Aware Automated NMR Structure Elucidation

Machine learning approaches are rapidly revolutionizing the ability to analyze and extract structural insights from chemical data, enabling high-throughput chemical discovery. While existing data-driven approaches have shown remarkable promise for predicting chemical structures in the de novo setting, incorporating add...

A Proxy-Based Method for Measuring Racial Disparities in~Text-to-Image~Generators

We present an automated method for auditing text-to-image generators for representational bias against ground-truth demographic benchmarks. Our approach adapts the racial proxy variables used in U.S. antidiscrimination law to provide a fine-grained comparative analysis of variations in racial representation in generate...

Bayesian Tensor Train Kernel Machines with Automatic Model Complexity Inference

Tensor Network (TN) kernel machines accelerate supervised learning by using low-rank TNs to reduce computation and memory. However, most TN-based methods are deterministic with manually tuned ranks and feature dimensions, while the existing Bayesian TN kernel machine is restricted to the CANDECOMP/PARAFAC decomposition...

Credibility Clustering for Experience Rating: An Automated Approach to Risk Group Allocation in Group Life Insurance

In insurance, experience rating plays a crucial role in mitigating adverse selection by adjusting premiums according to historical claims experience. A key step in this process is the classification of insured collectives into homogeneous risk groups. Within group life insurance, this classification traditionally relie...

ToroFit: Fitting Wedge Sums of Tori to High-Dimensional Data

Data arising in scientific applications often exhibits complex nonlinear structure. Identifying and parameterizing said nonlinearities can enable better modeling, enhance predictive analysis, data interpolation, denoising, and anomaly detection. In this paper, we develop theoretical and computational methods to detect...

Capturing Membrane Dynamics and Spike Timing of Human Neurons at Scale using Neural Operators

Characterizing the properties of neuronal cell types is central to understanding brain function. Yet, biophysically realistic neuron models remain difficult to scale to large populations while preserving the richness of cellular dynamics and within-cell-type variability. We present a cell-type-specific neural-operator...

Reading a neuron's tuning from its correlations with other neurons

What a neuron represents is usually established by relating its activity to a stimulus. We ask whether the same facts are contained in the correlation matrix of a recorded population, which keeps the pairwise relations among the neurons and discards the stimulus. A transformer that sees only the correlation matrix of 5...

Approximating the Euclidean Ball by Polytopes: Surprising Rates in High Dimensions

We provide sharp estimates on the number of vertices needed to approximate the Euclidean unit ball $B_d\subset\mathbb R^d$ with relative symmetric-difference volume error at most $\varepsilon\in(0,1)$. We show that the minimum vertex budget $N_\varepsilon(d)$ satisfies $$\log N_\varepsilon(d)\asymp d\log\left(1+\frac1{...

Efficient Kernelized Learning in Polyhedral Games Beyond Full-Information: From Colonel Blotto to Congestion Games

We examine the problem of efficiently learning coarse correlated equilibria (CCE) in polyhedral games, that is, normal-form games with an exponentially large number of actions per player and an underlying combinatorial structure. Prominent examples of such games are the classical Colonel Blotto and congestion games. To...

User Embeddings are Superpositions of Interpretable Behavioral Modes

User embeddings are central components of modern recommendation, personalization, and behavioral modeling systems. Though these embeddings can compactly encode rich behavioral information, they are inherently dense and opaque, limiting interpretability. To address this gap, we argue that user embeddings can be understo...

Adversarial Training with Large Step Sizes: Implicit Bias, Optimization, and Sharpness

Adversarial Training (AT) is an important method for improving model robustness. We study the dynamics of deterministic Gradient Descent (GD) in AT. Most existing works in this direction focus on the small or vanishing step sizes regime, where GD resembles a continuous-time flow. However, such step sizes can make train...

Unpacking the Compute Efficiency of Strong-to-Weak OPD against GRPO

On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own rollouts under a frozen teacher's per-token supervision. Does this dense signal reduce the training FLOPs needed to reach a target accuracy compared with reinforcement learning? We systematically compare vanilla reverse-KL OPD with Group Relative Policy Optimizat...
