Adaptive Conformal Redistribution for Inter-class Transitional Uncertainty in Medical Image Classification

Medical image classification is frequently complicated by transitional categories whose feature distributions overlap those of adjacent classes, producing ambiguous decision boundaries. Conformal prediction returns uncertainty-aware prediction sets, but these are not directly actionable in clinical screening, where a s...

Chemical and geometric representation fidelity improves drug--target affinity prediction

ReGeoDTA is developed, a representation-preserving framework that maintains affinity-relevant chemical heterogeneity in molecular representations and continuous geometric relationships in protein structures that identifies representation fidelity as an upstream design principle for accurate and generalizable drug--targ...

Representation-based Masked Diffusion Model

Representation-based Masked Diffusion Model (RMDM) is proposed, a framework that leverages the text representation to explicitly encode global semantics and help to parallel update tokens more precisely, and significantly improves generation quality, particularly in aggressive few-step sampling regimes.

Adapt or Forget: Provable Tradeoffs Between Adam and SGD in Nonstationary Optimization

Borders reveal a noise--drift tradeoff: in noise-dominated regimes, first-moment averaging and adaptive preconditioning can yield favorable upper guarantees, whereas in drift-dominated regimes, stale first-moment information and preconditioning can enlarge Adam's tracking guarantee, potentially allowing vanilla SGD to...

Bias-Corrected Data Synthesis for Imbalanced Learning

Class imbalance complicates probabilistic classification because standard training objectives emphasize majority-class performance. Synthetic oversampling can reduce imbalance, but discrepancies between the synthetic and target minority distributions may bias the fitted classifier, especially because synthetic samples...

Scalable Krylov Subspace Methods for Generalized Mixed-Effects Models with Crossed Random Effects

Mixed-effects models are widely used to model data with complex grouping structures and high-cardinality categorical predictor variables. However, for high-dimensional crossed random effects, current standard computations relying on Cholesky decompositions can become prohibitively slow. In this work, we present Krylov...

A Generalized Tangent Approximation based Variational Inference Framework for Strongly Super-Gaussian Likelihoods

This article proposes a novel variational framework based on tangent transformation for a broad class of probability models characterized by strongly super-Gaussian likelihoods, thereby inducing conjugacy with Gaussian priors over model parameters in an otherwise intractable setup.

Statistical Uncertainty Quantification for Aggregate Performance Metrics in Machine Learning Benchmarks

This work demonstrates how statistical methodology can be used for quantifying uncertainty in metrics that have been aggregated across multiple tasks, and emphasizes bootstrapping, Bayesian hierarchical (i.e., multilevel) modeling, and the visualization of task weightings that consider standard errors.

Satisficing Regret Minimization in Bandits: Constant Rate and Light-Tailed Distribution

Motivated by the concept of satisficing in decision-making, we consider the problem of satisficing regret minimization in bandit optimization. In this setting, the learner aims at selecting satisficing arms (arms with mean reward exceeding a certain threshold value) as frequently as possible. The performance is measure...

The General Theory of Localization Methods

This paper proposes a general machine learning framework called the localization method, which is fundamentally built on two core concepts: localization kernels and local means -- key components that underpin the self-attention mechanism. To establish a rigorous theoretical foundation, the framework is formally defined...
