GCUL: Ambiguity Identification in Text Emotion Classification via Cluster-Guided Learning

Selective classification enables a model to abstain from predictions on uncertain instances, but existing approaches typically reject them through confidence scores, predefined coverage constraints or instance-level distance measures. These approaches may overlook the collective geometric structure of difficult samples...

Sufficiently Reduced Distributional Regression

It is proved that the estimated conditional distributions converge in energy distance to the true ones, which implies that the learned representation is asymptotically sufficient.

Functional dynamic mode decomposition: Learning infinite-dimensional systems from data

Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) is a data-driven method that computes the best linear approximation of the underlying dynamical system and decomposes the dynamics into a superposition of characteristic spatiotemporal patterns. Originally introduced by the fluid dynamics community, DMD and its extensions have found wid...

Feature Space Selection and Heterogeneous Effect Estimation for Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability: A Random Forest to the Generalized Random Forest Pipeline

Evidence that LogP-BBB associations vary systematically across chemical space is insufficient underscores that feature representation and model architecture are coupled design choices, and that unorthogonalized causal forests risk overstating genuine treatment effect heterogeneity.

Transformers as Cross-Task Learners: Shared Structure Drives Sample Efficiency in In-Context Learning

This work characterize task-space complexity through covering numbers under a prescribed metric, thereby quantifying the low-dimensional cross-task structure without requiring an explicit parametric representation and explicitly construct a Transformer that exploits their low-dimensional structure to perform ICL.

Selective Inference for Deep Clustering in Latent Spaces

An SI framework for deep clustering with a fixed pretrained encoder that provides a principled approach to quantifying the statistical reliability of structures discovered by deep clustering and enables valid statistical testing of differences between clusters identified in the latent space.

Exact Bayes Regret and Asymptotic Optimality in High-Dimensional Gaussian Bandits

We study Bayesian linear bandits with an isotropic Gaussian parameter, independent Gaussian candidate arms, and Gaussian reward noise when the horizon is proportional to the dimension. The normalized posterior uncertainty has an explicit limit that is uniform over all causal policies. Gaussian posterior identities then...

Matrix Aggregation Operators

This paper analyzes the decomposability and symmetry properties of MAOs, showing that certain operators cannot be expressed in decomposable form and examining several notions of symmetry, and introduces a family of MAOs termed maximum entropy global coverage indices (MEGCIs).

Sequential Confidence Sets for Coverage-Constrained Conformal Model Selection

This work introduces Coverage-Constrained Sequential Model Confidence Sets (CC-SMCS), which separate certifiably feasible, possibly feasible, and possibly constrained-optimal pipelines and establishes an impossibility result for safe certification at the coverage boundary.

What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.  The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
