In various fields, such as medicine and marketing, accurately predicting individual treatment effects holds significant promise. However, achieving reliable predictions alone is often insufficient for making informed decisions; it is equally important to understand why the treatment effect is higher for some individual...
We propose Low-Rank Quantile Surfaces (LRQS), a bivariate causal model in which, in the causal direction, an unknown monotone transformation of the conditional quantile surface admits a low-rank functional decomposition. LRQS subsumes location-scale noise models and post-nonlinear heteroscedastic noise models, while al...
A derandomization framework for stochastic majority votes is proposed that derives two families of high-probability generalization bounds, covering both data-independent and data-dependent constructions of the ensemble, which naturally lead to a self-bounding learning algorithm optimizing deterministic majority vote gu...

Time-warping estimation is a fundamental problem in signal processing with applications in bioacoustics, radar, and biomedical analysis. This paper introduces a Time-Warping Estimation Trainable (TWET) model for estimating timewarping functions from a single observation. The proposed approach formulates time-warping es...
We develop a certified continuation framework for inference and training in deep equilibrium networks (DEQs), with training posed as interpolation to accuracy $2^{-b}$. For inference, input homotopy selects an equilibrium branch from a supplied start root, and a rounded tracker follows it under quantitative conditionin...
A look-ahead tree-building method that evaluates each candidate split by the prediction error reduction achieved after growing a conventional CART subtree below that split, and a smart look-ahead algorithm that learns downstream split values using node-level features are described.

Real-world datasets often exhibit long-tailed class distributions, where a few head classes contain a large number of training samples while a large number of tail classes have only a few. The composition of each mini-batch, determined by the sampling strategy, governs which classes contribute to the stochastic gradien...
This paper characterise the optimal split under data-dependent evaluation geometries induced by the fine-tuning problem as a compute-split problem under a two-stage pretrain--fine-tune procedure with fixed total optimisation budget, using regularised least squares trained by gradient descent as a tractable setting.

Coupled Calibration and Learning (CCL) is proposed, an LLM distillation algorithm that couples teacher calibration with student updates through token-level branching, using reward feedback only on source questions.

A ablation study confirms that both quantum and classical components are essential, and results highlight the central role of the feature map in hybrid quantum-classical models.

Component-wise diagnostics and convergence results support the role of persistent heads and distillation-guided local optimization under label-skewed data and suggest that pFedKDH obtains the best accuracy in most settings.
