From Complex Histories to Simple Predictors: Predictive Dimension in Dynamic Graph Learning

It is argued that continuous-time graph learning should identify low-dimensional states sufficient for future prediction rather than reconstruct the full history, and proposed PreDyG, a lightweight model whose capacity is matched to the intrinsic predictive dimension.

PULSE: Personalized Opportunistic Learning for Wearable Devices

PULSE, an event-driven framework for personalized opportunistic learning that treats each encounter as an online collaboration decision, selecting either no interaction or a promising nearby peer, shows that selective opportunistic collaboration can provide effective personalization while limiting communication and res...

Quantifying the Threat: A Bayesian Probabilistic Framework for Heavy Metal Health Risks among Children in the Densu Basin, Ghana

Groundwater in Ghana's Densu River Basin remains a key domestic water source, but multi-metal contamination threatens children's health. Previous deterministic hazard index assessments provide limited treatment of uncertainty, co-exposure, and spatial variability. This study applies a Bayesian probabilistic framework f...

Auditing Where Concept Bottleneck Accuracy Comes From on CUB

Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) promise predictions that humans can inspect and correct through concepts such as"curved beak". Yet on CUB-200-2011, their standard benchmark, progress is measured like that of ordinary classifiers: by task and concept accuracy. Neither reveals whether the label is predicted from the exp...

On-Policy Transition Distillation

A diagnostic study finds that stronger teacher--student agreement in intermediate transitions is associated with higher answer correctness within questions, with correct responses exhibiting lower mean transition KL across all measured intermediate layer pairs.

The Shape of the DPO Hyperparameter Landscape: What to Measure, How It Moves with Scale, and When Not to Transfer It

Direct preference optimisation (DPO) is widely used for language model post-training, but its performance depends strongly on the choice of its hyperparameters, such as the learning rate and the reference-policy regularisation parameter $\beta$. To better understand the DPO hyperparameter landscape, we conduct extensiv...

Physical-Variable-Informed Deep Learning for Robust Diagnosis in Industrial Fluid Transport Systems

Class-wise analyses, together with attention and masking analyses, show improved discrimination of ambiguous states and indicate that physical variables meaningfully constrain local response interpretation, and demonstrate a deployment-oriented approach to robust diagnosis in heterogeneous industrial environments.

How Much Do $\ell_1$ Attacks Need Concentrated Perturbations?

P perturbation concentration is established as a complementary, model- and attack-dependent axis of $\ell_1$ attack evaluation, and direct in-loop constrained optimization preserves up to $88$ percentage points more attack success than post-hoc clipping, highlighting the importance of constraint enforcement.

Anytime-Valid Runtime Monitoring of Learned Barrier Certificates

Learned barrier certificates provide a principled mechanism for establishing safety of stochastic systems, but their validity may deteriorate during deployment when the underlying dynamics differ from those used for training. We propose an anytime-valid runtime monitor that audits a learned barrier certificate using ob...

Pairwise Learning Increases Data Efficiency in Deep Neural Networks

Deep neural networks often fail at small-sample regression, collapsing to low-variance predictions that miss individual differences. Here, we introduce a pairwise comparison framework that reframes regression as aggregated relative rankings. This method improves data efficiency across model architectures and dataset si...

BCT: Bayes-Consistent Tempering for Flow Language Models

Temperature scaling is typically applied as a post-hoc transformation of model probabilities. In posterior-induced flow language models, this creates two mismatches. First, posterior tempering implicitly changes both the endpoint distribution and the distribution of intermediate noisy states, while the denoiser remains...
