Predictive models of human behavior trained on large-scale trajectory data optimize for statistical accuracy without representing the mental states that causally generate behavior. Such models support prediction but not principled intervention: they cannot answer how an agent's behavior would change if its beliefs or p...

Predicting beyond the training domain necessarily requires assumptions about how the ground truth extrapolates, yet in most neural networks these assumptions are made only implicit through the architecture. We propose TrustMix, a lightweight post-hoc method that makes a pretrained model's extrapolative behaviour explic...
Electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models learn representations that combine information across channels and time. This structure motivates adapters that model the same relationships during downstream learning. However, it is not clear whether such a design outperforms other candidate adapters. Moreover, in order...

We study a two-stage online optimization problem: at each round, a meta-learner first selects an agent-environment pair, then the chosen agent interacts with the environment, and receives a reward. We introduce Meta-Frieren, a general framework for maximizing cumulative reward in this setting. Our analysis yields a sim...

Conditional independence testing is difficult when dependence is weak, localized, or expressed through distributional changes rather than a global mean shift. Existing tests usually return a scalar statistic or p-value, which summarizes evidence against independence but does not describe where the conditional law chang...
Many real-world applications, such as numerical weather prediction or wildfire tracking, involve modeling highly nonlinear dynamical systems that are chaotic and influenced by various sources of uncertainty. To improve model prediction accuracy and reduce such uncertainties, data assimilation (DA) combines the dynamica...
Reinforcement learning has achieved strong performance in many tasks by letting agents learn from nothing more than a reward signal. However, in more complex tasks, agents still struggle to learn good, generalizable policies, even with carefully designed rewards and abundant samples. We argue that this difficulty stems...
Reliable uncertainty quantification is essential for clinical deployment of cancer diagnosis models, yet neural networks and variational Gaussian process methods can produce overconfident predictions, particularly under the distribution shifts that arise when models trained at one hospital are applied at another. We pr...
Molten chloride corrosion has been studied for decades, yet reliable prediction across different alloys, salts, and test conditions remains difficult. In this work, 291 static molten chloride corrosion experiments reported in the literature were compiled into a structured dataset and used to develop an interpretable ma...
Machine-learning models predicting live birth after in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) from routine clinical data report performance from near chance to near perfect. We systematically reviewed these models under PRISMA 2020, searching OpenAlex, Scopus and Web of Science to 22 Octob...

Profit-maximizing Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) operators may exploit consumer surplus through excessive prices and underserve less profitable regions by relocating vehicles away from them. We study how penalty-based regulation of an AMoD operator in a multimodal mobility system can limit surge pricing and impro...

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly recognized for their remarkable capabilities; federated learning (FL) offers a promising framework for collaboratively fine-tuning LLMs on edge devices while achieving data privacy. However, edge devices are inherently heterogeneous: clients may exhibit diverse data distrib...
Research Manager Mike Walker reflects on a career spanning hacker culture, cybersecurity, and AI, sharing lessons about trust, teamwork, leadership, and why solving difficult problems requires curiosity, judgment, agility—and an understanding of the rules.
