Zero-Shot Visualization: Exploring Text Corpora with User-Prompted Axes

We study the application of large language models (LLMs) to the visual exploration of textual corpora. We introduce zero-shot visualization (ZSV), a task in which users specify concepts in natural language and documents are mapped onto the corresponding concept axes for visualization. Building a ZSV system of practical...

When Can World Models Recover Physical Laws?

Accurate prediction does not establish that a world model has recovered a physical law: distinct dynamics can generate identical records under the same observation protocol. We formulate law recovery on a fixed physical domain under an explicit catalog of experiments, sensor uncertainty, and an acquisition budget. A ra...

Statistical Turbulence and High-Fidelity Disturbance Fields for Quadrotor Flight Control

Reinforcement-learning quadrotor controllers are usually trained under simplified wind models, yet the impact of wind-field fidelity, as opposed to magnitude, on policy robustness remains unquantified. This paper compares five disturbance-fidelity levels, from wind-free flight and discrete 1-cosine gusts through statis...

Trajectools Demo: Towards No-Code Solutions for Movement Data Analytics

This demo paper presents the conceptual foundations and the first steps towards implementation of a novel no-code solution for movement data analytics based on the open-source Python library MovingPandas and the open-source geographic information system QGIS. The resulting Trajectools plugin is available open-source at...

Beyond Marginals: A Multi-Dimensional Evaluation Framework for Multi-Table Synthetic Data Generation

Synthetic data generation is critical for privacy compliance, machine learning augmentation, and software testing. While single-table evaluation is well established, multi-table (relational) synthesis, the dominant enterprise use case, lacks a unified evaluation framework. Existing approaches assess marginal column dis...

The Geometry of Statistical Feature Learning in Mean-Field Langevin Dynamics

We introduce a geometric formulation of statistical feature learning for supervised regression. Feature learning is defined through a base--fiber decomposition: the base is the feature-side geometry produced by training, and the fiber is the learned feature space where estimation is performed. We prove this property fo...

Conformal Prediction Sets Quantify Information Gain: A Theoretical Perspective

This work introduces a family of generalized information measures based on the size and coverage of conformal prediction sets and formally relate conformal prediction to classical information-theoretic quantities and justifies using set-size reduction as an information gain metric.

Neural Petri flows for chemical reactions

Petri nets have been used to describe chemical processes such as reactions.They map well to chemistry: Places are the bonds between atoms and the free valence of each atom, a token is a unit of bond order, a transition forms or breaks a bond, the conserved quantities are the valence budgets of the atoms, and the enabli...

Linear Bandits under Exact Sliding-Window Constraints

We study linear bandits under exact sliding-window constraints, where every consecutive block of actions must belong to a prescribed feasible set. In the offline setting, where the reward function is known, we show that convexity and cyclic-shift invariance make a stationary solution optimal when $w\mid T$ and within a...

Reinforcement Learning with Conformal Action Sets: An Application to Sequential Recommendation

Sequential recommenders typically use a fixed slate size even though the number of useful alternatives changes within a session. We propose Reinforcement Learning with Calibrated Pruning (RLCP), which adapts the retained action set using critic scores and an online threshold. The threshold is updated from binary feedba...

On the Computational Tractability of Robust Bandits

Learning when the environment does not belong to the learner's hypothesis class is typically handled using agnostic learning guarantees. However, for anything beyond supervised learning, agnostic guarantees are difficult to come by. Recently, imprecise bandits (Kosoy, 2025) (later renamed to robust bandits in Appel and...

Optimal and Efficient Online Inverse Optimization

In online inverse linear optimization, a learner recommends an action and then observes the choice of an expert who maximizes a fixed, unknown linear objective on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$; the goal is to learn to optimize this objective without observing it. Sakaue recently obtained the optimal regret $O(\sqrt d)$ with a rando...
