PuzzleJAX: A Benchmark for Reasoning and Learning

We introduce PuzzleJAX, a GPU-accelerated puzzle game engine and description language designed to support rapid benchmarking of tree search, reinforcement learning, and LLM reasoning abilities. Unlike existing GPU-accelerated learning environments that provide hard-coded implementations of fixed sets of games, PuzzleJA...

Improving Mixup Calibration with Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Optimization

In many real-world applications, ensuring the robustness and stability of deep neural networks (DNNs) is crucial, particularly for image classification tasks that encounter various input perturbations. While Mixup-based data augmentation techniques have been widely adopted to enhance the resilience of trained models ag...

Boosting Large Language Models with Mask Fine-Tuning

The large language model (LLM) is typically integrated into the mainstream optimization protocol. However, it remains underexplored whether maintaining the model integrity is \textit{indispensable} for promising performance. In this work, we introduce Mask Fine-Tuning (MFT), a novel LLM fine-tuning paradigm demonstrati...

Large Language Models for Cryptocurrency Transaction Analysis: A Bitcoin Case Study

Cryptocurrencies are widely used, yet current methods for analyzing transactions often rely on opaque, black-box models. While these models may achieve high performance, their outputs are usually difficult to interpret and adapt, making it challenging to capture nuanced behavioral patterns. Large language models (LLMs)...

Identifiability Analysis of Linear ODE Systems with Hidden Confounders

The identifiability analysis of linear Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) systems is a necessary prerequisite for making reliable causal inferences about these systems. While identifiability has been well studied in scenarios where the system is fully observable, the conditions for identifiability remain unexplored w...

When Explanations Compete: Policy-Aware Selection Under Uncertainty

A framework for applying uncertainty-aware explanation policies to a fixed set of generated explanations that allows applications to compare and prioritise explanations according to their intended use is presented.

Data-driven measures of high-frequency trading

Public data do not identify high-frequency trading (HFT), and standard proxies do not separate liquidity-supplying from liquidity-demanding strategies. We overcome this measurement challenge by training machine learning models on proprietary Nasdaq data to map observed HFT activity to public intraday variables. Applyin...

The Latent Diagnostic Taxonomy: A Framework for Constructing Classifiers and Diagnosing Their Decisions, Applied to Prompt Injection Detection

This paper proposes a framework for constructing a classifier as a safeguard layer, and for developing a complementary diagnostic that identifies which of the classifier's confident decisions can be trusted. This framework, the Latent Diagnostic Taxonomy, consists of (i) constructing a dimensionality-optimized classifi...

A Critical Audit of Spatiotemporal Forecasting Benchmark Datasets and Models

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are routinely employed for spatiotemporal forecasting, yet their performance across widely used benchmark datasets is inconsistent. Here, we perform an audit of dataset properties and baseline models to assess the quality of the benchmarks, and the robustness of the conclusions drawn from t...

Systematic Evaluation of TabPFN-TS and Chronos-2 for Zero-Shot Heat Load Forecasting in District Heating Networks

This study systematically evaluates TabPFN-TS and Chronos-2 for probabilistic heat load forecasting in two German district heating networks and compares them with trained baselines, finding that both TSFMs outperform all trained baselines in deterministic accuracy in the full-year benchmarks.

Multi-Scale Structural Features for Continual, Comprehensible Visual Recognition in a Developmental Learning Framework

Contemporary machine learning struggles to learn continually, reuse prior knowledge, and expose a comprehensible internal structure. A recently proposed developmental, gradient-free learning framework addresses these limitations by learning a discrete, topological model of its inputs through local variation and selecti...

Beyond Scaffold Splits: Structural-Frontier Evaluation Reveals Hidden Failures in ADMET Models

Molecular property models are commonly evaluated by holding out Bemis-Murcko scaffolds, yet a scaffold identifier is only one notion of chemical unfamiliarity. We introduce a label-free structural-frontier split that reserves the sparsest and most physicochemically remote scaffold groups, and evaluate it on six public...
