Fragility-aware Classification for Risk Characterization and Robust Learning

Classification models play a central role in data-driven decision-making applications such as medical diagnosis, recommendation systems, and risk assessment. Traditional performance metrics, such as accuracy and AUC, quantify classification errors and pairwise ranking performance but do not account for the magnitude of...

The Fenchel-Young Generalization of Bayesian Principles

A new FY generalization of expectation maximization (EM), which recovers classical and Hard EM, and amortized versions, and a new FY generalization of conjugacy, defined as closure of prior-potential families that are affine under translation by the loss.

Are EEG Sequences Time Series? EEG Classification with Time Series Models and Joint Subject Training

As with most other data domains, EEG data analysis relies on rich domain-specific preprocessing. Beyond such preprocessing, machine learners would hope to deal with such data as with any other time series data. For EEG classification many models have been developed with layer types and architectures we typically do not...

Evolutionary Deep Nets for Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring

Compact appliance classifiers can support local electricity-load monitoring where memory and computation are constrained. We evaluate adaptive sparse evolutionary training and warm-start compression using synthetic aggregate windows derived from household appliance recordings. A completed convolutional network study tr...

On Sex, Evolution, and the Multiplicative Weights Update Algorithm

We consider a recent innovative theory by Chastain et al. on the role of sex in evolution [PNAS'14]. In short, the theory suggests that the evolutionary process of gene recombination implements the celebrated multiplicative weights updates algorithm (MWUA). They prove that the population dynamics induced by sexual repr...

Sensorimotor Alignment: A Platonic Proxy for Embodied Policy Success

Robotic foundation models are typically evaluated through costly closed-loop rollouts, which motivates cheap offline proxies for model capability. The Platonic Representation Hypothesis (PRH) suggests that as representations improve, different modalities such as vision and language converge toward a shared statistical...

Phase Transition from Random Features to Fully Trainable Networks

Constructing accurate and computationally tractable approximation spaces is a fundamental task in scientific computing. Partially trainable neural networks bridge fixed random features and fully adaptive representations. This paper quantifies a phase transition pattern in approximation bounds and observes analogous beh...

Reliable AI-Assisted Decisions via Selective Auditing

We consider online monitoring of an AI system that produces a sequence of decisions. At each round, the system outputs a proposed decision together with a confidence score estimating the trustworthiness of the decision. The decision and confidence score need not be produced by the same model: for example, one agent may...

SpectralCanary: Embarrassingly Simple Low-Frequency Traces for T2I Dataset-Use Auditing

Auditing whether a text-to-image (T2I) model was fine-tuned on a particular image collection is difficult: a model can absorb collection-level visual characteristics without reproducing training images. Proactive dataset-use auditing plants a shared signal in a dataset before release, then later checks whether that sig...

EpiSEM-Bench: Evaluating Safety and Evidence Recovery in LLM Agents under Missing Evidence

Tool-using language model agents rely on environmental facts to decide whether an action is permitted. When a tool response omits a safety-relevant fact, an agent may carry out a prohibited action even though the user request is benign and every returned statement is true. We introduce \bench{}, an executable benchmark...

Beyond Best-of-$k$: Prior-Consistent DAPS for Ambiguous Nonlinear Inverse Problems

Diffusion models have become strong priors for solving inverse problems. However, nonlinear inverse problems such as phase retrieval remain challenging when multiple measurement-consistent solutions are distinguishable only by the prior; we call such measurements ambiguous. Existing diffusion-based samplers rely on loc...

Would an LLM Match into a Residency? Uncertainty, Reasoning and Image Use of Open Language Models on the Spanish MIR Examination

Accuracy on medical examinations is common evidence offered for the clinical use of language models, yet a health system that intends to run an open model on its own hardware needs to know considerably more: whether the model recognizes when it is likely to be wrong, whether medical fine-tuning improves this ability, w...
