This work revisits a fundamental question in active learning: how powerful is the ability to synthesize arbitrary queries? Compared to pool-based active learning, where the learner only selects queries from a given unlabeled pool, we find that this seemingly mild change in query ability may dramatically alter the diffi...
An algorithm is given, requiring no knowledge of the horizon, whose cumulative regret satisfies R_t, whose cumulative regret satisfies 1 + O(\sqrt{\ln \ln n / \ln n})\bigr)\sqrt{t \ln n / 2}$ simultaneously for every $t \ge 1$.
Estimating the causal effects of medical treatments is difficult when clinically important outcomes are costly to measure or require long follow-up. Short-term or inexpensive surrogate outcomes offer a potential alternative, but surrogate biomarkers may be unavailable or difficult to identify. Advances in artificial in...
With recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) and LLM-based agents, these agents are becoming increasingly autonomous and gaining broader access to act on users'behalf on the internet. However, the vulnerability of automated agents deployed on social media platforms (e.g., for managing a user's personal acco...

We study online inverse linear optimization with a fixed unknown linear utility: in each round, an environment presents a compact action set, the learner recommends an action from it, and the environment returns an action that maximizes the utility over the same set. When the utility vector and the actions lie in the $...
Rolling Conformal Prediction is introduced, a distribution-free predictive inference method for the setting of sequential model training that proves high-probability training-conditional validity uniformly over time; under stability conditions, coverage guarantees sharpen towards $1-\alpha$.
CC-OPD (Counterfactual Constraint-Conditioned On-Policy Distillation), which inverts the standard supervision-generation direction in distillation, and achieves the highest average among all evaluated student-training methods.
Conventional score-based diffusion models learn scores without representing normalized densities, whereas tractable normalized models support both sampling and direct likelihood evaluation. A recent tensor-network approach provides such a representation but is largely restricted to low-dimensional lattices. Here we int...
It is argued that accelerated samplers such as flow maps are essential infrastructure for efficient post-training, and that the dominant KL-regularized formulation is only one of many choices worth revisiting.
The Gravitational Reference Advanced Technology Test In Space (GRATTIS) mission will demonstrate the functionality and sensitivity performance of the Simplified Gravitational Reference Sensor (S-GRS), an ultra-precise inertial sensor for future Earth geodesy missions. These sensors are used to measure or compensate for...
Purpose: The current state of wearable biosensors for remote monitoring and early cardiovascular disease (CVD) detection is examined in this systematic literature review, which also highlights the technological advancements, clinical applicability, and implementation difficulties of these devices.Methodology: A thoroug...
This work proposes count-FM, a flow-matching framework for count data based on a continuous-time birth-death process with local unit jumps, which achieves better sample quality than representative baselines while using substantially fewer parameters in simulation.
MIT Statistics and Data Science Center Director Alexander (Sasha) Rakhlin shares important considerations for departments and institutions.
By rethinking how large cloud computing systems operate, Associate Professor Christina Delimitrou seeks to make data centers more energy efficient.
As director, Bourg has focused on digital access, open and equitable scholarly publishing, and expanded support for data-intensive research.
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.
