Accent classifiers are typically trained with a fixed label inventory and cannot accommodate new accent categories as new data becomes available. Moreover, accented speech corpora often exhibit substantial class imbalance and/or domain shift due to differences in recording conditions across corpora. We present AccentCL...

Bayesian Optimization (BO) has become an established methodology for minimizing black-box functions of a vector input. Often, however, this parameter vector arises from the discretization of an inherently functional relationship. Several recent articles have considered the Functional Bayesian Optimization (FBO) setting...

We present a new perspective on the problem of likelihood approximation within the framework of simulation-based inference that promotes scalable and controllable simulation routines for large-scale data analysis, allows efficient parameter space exploration or smooth interpolation in high-dimensions and, thus, support...
Joint Models simultaneously model longitudinal and survival outcomes, leveraging patterns in patients'longitudinal trajectory to improve the prediction of survival outcomes. The classical parametric joint models, however, rely on fixed parametric assumptions, making them susceptible to bias under model misspecification...

HyperNSDE is proposed, a continuous-time generative model that conditions a latent Neural SDE on static patient representations through a hypernetwork, allowing baseline characteristics to shape trajectory evolution beyond the initial condition without requiring a trajectory encoder, while stochastic latent dynamics ca...
Robust person re-identification often combines complementary cues such as face, gait, and body shape. While adaptive fusion typically targets query quality, model strength also varies across identities. We introduce identity-conditioned score fusion, a framework that tailors weights to each gallery identity without tra...

IAM policy analysis typically emphasizes the authorization capabilities encoded in a policy, but security analyst review priority may also depend on the behavioral and environmental context surrounding a policy event. This paper evaluates whether contextual information provides measurable incremental value for interpre...
Audio benchmarks are built around short, pre-segmented clips, limiting model design to brief inputs or fixed vocabularies. To close this gap, we introduce Logbook, a benchmark for hour-scale audio understanding, with recordings ranging from ten minutes to six days. Given a continuous audio recording and an event label...

Learning with data in the form of quantum states is of current interest and has led to a variety of problems that boil down to interaction with the available data via quantum measurement and classical post-processing of observed classical outcomes. In quantum measurement PAC learning, one is given a sequence of unknown...
A stochastic approximation method that is based on $Z-estimation with a novel monotone operator is designed, and it is established that this algorithm is computationally efficient and achieves provable signal recovery at parametric rates under the hypothesis that covariates are missing completely at random.

Recent advances in penalty-based methods for stochastic bilevel optimization (SBO) have eliminated the need for second-order derivative oracles. However, for stochastic nonconvex-strongly convex bilevel problems, existing first-order methods typically rely on nested loops and/or large batch sizes for attaining $O(\epsi...

Cross-view geo-localization is commonly solved as an image retrieval problem, matching a ground-level image against a database of satellite tiles through a jointly trained embedding. Such models are accurate, but they need large paired supervision and cannot show what evidence supports a match. In this paper, we study...
