SepsisLens: Structure-Preserving Sequence Modelling for Decomposable Early Sepsis Warning

Early sepsis warning from ICU records can be cast as a structure-preserving prediction problem. A model needs to detect deterioration from irregular measurements while keeping each alert connected to the physiological signals that support it. Many temporal models fuse clinical variables into a patient-level representat...

Spectra: Exact Component Transport for Test-Time Prior Adaptation in Simulation-Based Inference

Simulation-based inference (SBI) has become a powerful approach to Bayesian inference in complex scientific models whose likelihoods are difficult or impossible to evaluate. Amortized SBI learns reusable inference models from simulated data, enabling rapid posterior inference for new observations, and modern generative...

Can phenotypic activity be predicted without experimental readouts?

Molecular encoders contrastively pretrained on paired molecule-morphology data, such as CLOOME and CellCLIP, have been proposed as cheap surrogates for phenotypic prediction, avoiding the need to run a Cell Painting assay. We evaluate this idea for these molecular encoders under a protocol designed to control for two c...

TICDA: Tabular In-Context Data Attribution

Tabular foundation models (TFMs) achieve strong predictive performance by conditioning on labeled demonstrations provided in context, without any parameter update. Yet how individual demonstrations shape a given prediction remains poorly understood. This gap matters in practice: the context is often assembled from what...

A Broader Look at Model Merging: Rethinking Implicit Regularization Induced by Task Arithmetic

Model merging aims to build a multi-task model cheaply by combining the weights of individual task-specific models. To perform well across multiple tasks, most existing merging methods use an additional dataset to find the coefficients for the best linear combination of task-specific weight updates. However, we identif...

Do Higher-Order Models Win for Higher-Order Reasons? Rethinking Performance Gains in Hypergraph Learning

Higher-order models (e.g., hypergraph neural networks) often outperform lower-order baselines on hypergraph learning benchmarks, and their advantages are commonly attributed to their ability to exploit higher-order information. However, better performance alone does not establish this explanation. We therefore ask: Do...

Learning a Ranking from Human Feedback in Log-Concave Random Utility Models

We study the problem of recovering the ranking of a fixed set of items according to their unknown numerical utilities. At each interaction with the environment, a learner presents the item set to a human and receives comparative feedback of two types. Under full-ranking feedback, each interaction reveals a noisy rankin...

DecepEval: A Benchmark for Evaluating Deception in LLM Agents

As large language model (LLM) agents become increasingly autonomous, they may pursue task performance through deception, raising concerns about their reliable deployment. Existing evaluations show that LLM agents can deceive, but often examine isolated scenarios or narrowly defined conditions, limiting systematic under...

Generalized Matheron Variational Implicit Processes

Implicit-process priors specify distributions over functions through sample-forward mechanisms such as Bayesian neural networks and stochastic simulators, but their function-space densities are typically unavailable. We introduce Generalized Matheron Variational Implicit Processes (GMVIP), a pathwise variational family...

Revisiting Temporal Regularization for Smooth Control in Deep Reinforcement Learning

Deep Reinforcement Learning policies can produce nonsmooth action oscillations that hinder deployment on physical robots. Existing architectural and penalty-based approaches seek spatial smoothness by directly reducing sensitivity to changes in state inputs, but their broad constraints can degrade task performance as s...

ApexQuant: Data-Free Elastic Quantization by Residual Re-Isotropization

We introduce ApexQuant, a calibration-free quantization method that recursively re-quantizes the residual error, serving as a refinement layer on top of existing quantizers. We establish that a fresh random rotation returns each residual to the uniform distribution on the hypersphere, which characterizes the rate of pr...

Variance-Averse $n$-Step Offline Reinforcement Learning for Sparse Long-Horizon Environments

Generative actors are transforming offline reinforcement learning (RL) by enabling expressive policy classes that model complex action distributions. However, this expressiveness also exposes a key challenge in heterogeneous datasets: generative policies can reproduce unreliable action modes whose return distributions...
