Online Conformal Prediction for Non-Exchangeable Panel Data

We study online conformal prediction in a partially observed panel: a new cross-section of peer outcomes is observed before each target outcome, target feedback may be intermittent or absent, and neither units nor rounds need be exchangeable. We propose Weighted Temporal Quantile Adjustment (W-TQA), which combines simi...

Voice "Cloning" is Style Transfer

Artificially generated speech is increasingly embedded in everyday life. Voice cloning in particular enables applications where identity preservation is important, such as completing a recording, dubbing in a new language, or preserving the voices of individuals with speech loss. However, in our work, we find that desp...

ForcingDAS: Unified and Robust Data Assimilation via Diffusion Forcing

ForcingDAS is introduced, a unified and robust DA framework that learns a joint-trajectory prior instead of frame-to-frame transitions that allows it to capture long-horizon temporal dependencies and reduce error accumulation.

Learning Visual Feature-Based World Models via Residual Latent Action

World models predict future transitions from observations and actions. Existing works predominantly focus on image generation only. Visual feature-based world models, on the other hand, predict future visual features instead of raw video pixels, offering a promising alternative that is more efficient and less prone to...

Rethinking Adapter Placement: A Dominant Adaptation Module Perspective

Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is a widely used parameter-efficient fine-tuning method that places trainable low-rank adapters into frozen pre-trained models. Recent studies show that using fewer LoRA adapters may still maintain or even improve performance, but existing methods still distribute adapters broadly, leaving \e...

XDecomposer: Learning Prior-Free Set Decomposition for Multiphase X-ray Diffraction

Multiphase powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis remains a fundamental bottleneck in structure identification, as real-world synthesis often produces complex mixtures whose constituent phases (components) cannot be reliably disentangled. While recent advances in representation-based crystal retrieval and generation...

Von Neumann Networks

Initial experiments show that VNN based multi-layered perceptrons outperform their equivalent deep learning variant on basic tasks, while being more parameter efficient and are capable of learning new types of tasks.

Algorithm Selection with Zero Domain Knowledge via Text Embeddings

We propose ZeroFolio, a feature-free approach to algorithm selection that uses pretrained text embeddings instead of hand-crafted instance features. It reads the raw instance file as plain text, embeds it with a pretrained embedding model, and selects an algorithm via weighted k-nearest neighbors. Our approach is based...

Generalizable Dense Reward for Long-Horizon Robotic Tasks

VLLR is proposed, a dense reward framework combining an extrinsic reward from Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for task progress recognition, and an intrinsic reward based on policy self-certainty based on policy self-certainty for PPO finetuning.

PRUE: A Practical Recipe for Field Boundary Segmentation at Scale

Large-scale maps of field boundaries are essential for agricultural monitoring tasks. Existing deep learning approaches for satellite-based field mapping are sensitive to illumination, spatial scale, and changes in geographic location. We conduct the first systematic evaluation of segmentation and geospatial foundation...

The Dual Mechanisms of Spatial Variable Binding in Vision-Language Models

Many multimodal tasks, such as image captioning and visual question answering, require vision-language models (VLMs) to bind objects with their properties and spatial relations. Yet it remains unclear where and how such associations are computed within VLMs. In this work, we show that VLMs rely on two concurrent mechan...

Deep Time-Series Forecasting in 10 Years: A Survey

Autocorrelation is a common property of time-series, where each observation is dependent on its predecessors. In deep time-series forecasting, it raises two central challenges: (1) designing backbone architectures to model autocorrelation in history sequences, and (2) devising loss functions to model autocorrelation in...
