GeneICL: A Tabular Foundation Model for Bulk Transcriptomics

Gene expression is widely measured in biomedicine, yet clinical outcome prediction remains challenging due to high dimensionality, strong feature correlations, and limited labeled data. Large self-supervised transcriptomic foundation models often fail to outperform simple supervised baselines. Tabular foundation models...

Probabilistic Counterfactual Inference for Discrete Outcomes in Gaussian-Process Causal Models

Counterfactual inference in Gaussian-process structural causal models (GP-SCMs) has been developed primarily for continuous endogenous variables, limiting applicability to causal graphs that contain discrete child nodes with continuous parents. We introduce a unified probabilistic framework for counterfactual inference...

A Systematic Study of Small Language Models on Abstract Reasoning Tasks

Endpoint accuracy on abstract-reasoning benchmarks does not reveal whether a language model has acquired a transferable rule or fit distribution-specific regularities. We study this distinction in small language models on the ARC-TGI benchmark, which organizes abstract grid transformations into controllable task famili...

Variance-Optimal Off-Policy Evaluation with Conjunct Effect Modeling

Off-policy evaluation (OPE) for contextual bandit policies becomes challenging when action-level importance weighting incurs excessive variance. Doubly robust (DR) estimation remains unbiased under common support but retains these high-variance action-level weights. A prior estimator, Off-policy evaluation with Conjunc...

Principled Under Pressure: Post-Training Decides Whether LLMs Act on Their Own Moral Judgment

Language models increasingly act as agents. An agent that says an action is wrong and then takes it anyway is a different failure from one that does not know better, and evaluations of stated values cannot see it. We build a pre-registered panel of 248 scenarios across five kinds of pressure. Each scenario is posed twi...

MemFLoRA: Memory-Floor LoRA for CNN Adaptation at the Edge

On-device learning is necessary when the model encounters user-,sensor-, or environment-specific shifts after deployment. Although parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods, particularly Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) variants, enable efficient adaptation at the edge, the limiting resource for Convolutional Neural Net...

Early Memory Selection for Balanced Adam

We propose a method for choosing the shared memory parameter $\beta_1=\beta_2=\beta$ in Adam from a short pilot training. The selected $\beta$ remains fixed during the subsequent full training. A local model of Adam's normalized direction balances sampling variability against the delay introduced by averaging past grad...

Multi-Label Perceptual Bug Detection in Video Games using Deep Learning on Gameplay Footage

Traditional approaches for automated bug detection in video games, such as manual testing, can be beneficial for the improvement of quality assurance, but they can be expensive and time-consuming. The scarce number of tools available to detect multiple perceptual bugs in the same video frame introduces detection challe...

CNet: A Complex-Valued Deep Learning Framework with Wirtinger Autodifferentiation and FFT--Hadamard Convolution

CNet is a C++/CUDA framework for building and training deep complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) and, more generally, for optimizing complex-valued functions by gradient descent with Wirtinger (CR-calculus) derivatives. It takes a physics-native stance: a network is a cascade of complex -- and often unitary (the DFT)...

Random Feature Gaussian Process Attention: Linear-Time Probabilistic Attention with Calibrated Uncertainty

Transformers provide a state-of-the-art modeling framework, yet poor calibration limits their reliability in safety-critical applications. A promising direction addresses this issue by interpreting attention as a Gaussian process (GP) posterior, which enables principled uncertainty calibration but incurs cubic complexi...

How Learning Governs Unlearning across the Memorization-Generalization Spectrum

This paper first classify memorization- and generalization-heavy models using grokking in modular addition and compare their responses to unlearning, showing that the latter suffer greater retain damage, i.e., a larger performance drop on the retain set.

Less Is More: A Leakage-Controlled Study of Dermoscopic Preprocessing for Joint Skin Lesion Classification and Segmentation with YOLO26

Handcrafted preprocessing is widely employed in automated dermoscopic analysis to suppress imaging artifacts and enhance lesion visibility. Nevertheless, its actual contribution to modern real-time models remains unclear, particularly when evaluation protocols do not adequately control correlations among images of the...
