LACToS: Local Anomaly Detection via Conditional Typicality of Superpixels

This work proposes LACToS, a principled local OOD detection method based on statistical typicality and made tractable through two innovations: (i) grouping pixels into superpixels and (ii) using a computationally efficient proxy to estimate typicality.

Direct Inference on Admissible Sets (Diona)

We propose a new regression method named Direct Inference on Admissible Sets (Diona) that directly uses samples to estimate the state and its derivatives at a query point, along with their admissible bounds, without long global training. By casting the values and derivatives at the query and neighbouring samples as lat...

Nonparametric autoregressive estimation of probability distributions with parallel gradient boosting

Nonparametric estimation of joint probability distributions is a core problem in statistics, which is notoriously challenging with high-dimensional data. Such challenges also arise with conditional distribution estimation and have led to flexible algorithms that aim to tackle the ''curse of dimensionality'' by exploiti...

Structure-preserving reduced-order models of thin panels in supersonic and hypersonic flow

We build structure-preserving reduced-order models for both challenge problems of the AePW-4 High-Speed Working Group. They are a clamped thin panel at Mach 1.92 (RC-19) and a cantilever plate at Mach 5.85 (HyMAX). The published data for each case hold no time-resolved response and no repeated runs. The physics must th...

MoG-VLM: Efficient Video Anomaly Detection through Motion-Guided Vision-Language Models

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown strong potential for video anomaly detection, but dense frame-level inference makes them impractical for real-time deployment. Existing acceleration commonly relies on uniform sampling, which ignores content dynamics and can either waste computation on static segments or miss lo...

DIAL: Steerable Language Models with Distilled Instruction-Adherence Levels

When a user says "Keep it short", how short should the LLM's response be? More generally, users and applications require different levels of instruction adherence, but prompting does not reliably provide fine-grained control over them. We therefore study "steerable language models" that provide fine-grained numerical c...

Conservative Meta-Agent Search: Architecture Adaptation under Non-Stationarity

Automated agentic-system design is typically evaluated on static task suites with immediate scalar rewards. Deployed systems face persistent shift, delayed dependent feedback, correlated component failures, and costly architecture changes. We formalize meta-agent architecture search as sequential incumbent replacement...

Dimension-free regimes for unadjusted Langevin in ridge-separable models: A subspace robust Wasserstein analysis

The Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm (ULA) is widely used for high-dimensional Bayesian inference. Classical analyses in Wasserstein-2 distance predict an asymptotic bias and a mixing time that grow with dimension, but this metric is stronger than necessary for many statistical tasks. We instead analyze the bias in subspa...

How Depth Growth and Looping Shape In-Context Learning in Language Models

Looped and depth-grown language models reuse computations across depth and have attracted interest for their reasoning capabilities. Building on prior suggestive evidence of improved in-context-learning (ICL), we investigate how such reuse favors ICL, including how it shapes the acquisition, retention, and mechanisms o...

HERD: Harness-Evolving Recursive Distillation for Continual Learning

Continual learning requires a model to keep acquiring new skills and knowledge without compromising its existing capabilities. Parametric methods suffer from catastrophic forgetting and loss of plasticity. Non-parametric methods, such as prompts, skills, and harnesses, leverage in-context learning but are limited by co...

Convex Equilibrium Potentials for Monge--Amp\`ere: Curvature Bounds and A Posteriori Evaluation

Equilibrium neural networks define their hidden state as the fixed point of a contraction, so their effective depth is set at evaluation time rather than by the architecture. Using them for fully nonlinear PDEs raises two issues that explicit networks avoid: second derivatives may grow with the effective depth, and the...
