The marginal likelihood, also known as the evidence, is regarded as a mathematical embodiment of Occam's razor, enabling hyperparameter selection that avoids overfitting. The evidence lower bound (ELBO) objective from variational inference has also been used for similar purposes. In this paper, we define a signal-to-no...
Collective behaviors that emerge from interactions are fundamental to numerous biological systems. To learn such interacting forces from observations, we introduce a measure-valued neural network that infers measure-dependent interaction (drift) terms directly from particle-trajectory observations. The proposed archite...
We study parametric change-point detection under local differential privacy, focusing on the offline localization of a single change point in a sequence of independent observations.~In the non-private setting, we derive improved finite-sample accuracy guarantees for a generalized likelihood-ratio estimator using martin...
Second-order momentum corrects the lag of momentum behind the current gradient with a Hessian-vector product (HVP), but existing corrections need either a Lipschitz Hessian or extra forward and backward passes at an auxiliary point. We show that randomizing the step length removes this trade-off: if the step is exponen...

Weighted empirical risk minimization is a common approach to prediction under distribution drift. This article studies its out-of-sample prediction error under nonstationarity. We provide a general decomposition of the excess risk into a learning term and an error term associated with distribution drift, and prove orac...
Enabling humanoid robots to perform agile and adaptive interactions has long been a core challenge in robotics. Current approaches are bottlenecked by either the scarcity of realistic interaction data or the need for meticulous, task-specific reward engineering, which limits their scalability. To narrow this gap, we pr...
Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a powerful approach for accelerating the discovery of thermoelectric (TE) materials, yet many models suffer from limited generalizability. Here we present a robust ML framework for predicting the thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) in half-Heusler (hH) compounds, emphasizing predict...
Deep neural networks are highly susceptible to backdoor attacks, yet most defense methods to date rely on balanced data, overlooking the pervasive class imbalance in real-world scenarios that can amplify backdoor threats. This paper presents the first in-depth investigation of how the dataset imbalance amplifies backdo...
We introduce a principled learning to optimize (L2O) framework for solving fixed-point problems involving general nonexpansive mappings. Our idea is to deliberately inject summable perturbations into a standard Krasnosel'skii-Mann iteration to improve its average-case performance over a specific distribution of problem...
Joining heterogeneous tables requires different forms of correspondence, including exact agreement, syntactic transformation, semantic similarity, and entity-level matching. The appropriate join method is often unknown in advance, while running every candidate method incurs unnecessary cost. We introduce MetaJoin, a la...
Continuous-time stochastic processes underlie many natural and engineered systems. In healthcare, autonomous driving, and industrial control, direct interaction with the environment is often unsafe or impractical, motivating offline reinforcement learning from historical data. However, there is limited statistical unde...
Second-order methods make fast progress per iteration, but forming and factorizing the Hessian often dominates their wall-clock time. We study \emph{Split-Client}, a task-parallel design in which a curvature client factorizes Hessians in the background while a gradient client takes cubic-regularized steps with the most...
