We prove the gap-entropy conjecture for fixed-confidence best-arm identification with independent unit-variance Gaussian arms, means in $[0,1]$, and a unique optimal arm.

The DIRECT algorithm is a deterministic global optimization method known for its versatility and balanced exploration-exploitation strategy. However, DIRECT-type algorithms are primarily effective for low-dimensional problems and often exhibit slow convergence as dimensionality…

Quantum-inspired classical algorithms have dequantized several quantum machine learning routines by replacing quantum linear-algebra subroutines with classical counterparts.

Consistent submodular maximization studies the tradeoff between solution quality and stability when elements arrive over time. For a monotone submodular objective, which models diminishing returns, an algorithm maintains a set of at most $k$ available elements and changes only…

Generalized zero-shot learning (GZSL) has emerged as an important paradigm for visual recognition systems that must generalize to classes that were not observed during training.

Sample size determination for machine learning (ML) prediction models is challenging because conventional power analysis typically requires the predictor-outcome relationship and effect structure to be specified a priori.

Molecule generation has emerged as a powerful computational tool for de novo drug design, enabling the exploration of chemical space beyond the limits of conventional virtual screening.

Aging clocks quantify biological aging and help characterize individual health status. What protein interactions are important for accurate aging clocks, and are they zeroth-order or higher-order? Addressing these questions requires learning from large molecular datasets…

Although probabilistic statements are ubiquitous, foundational disagreements persist about their understanding, as exemplified by debates between Bayesians and frequentists; moreover, it is unclear when and why acting on them actually leads to desirable outcomes.

Agent developers increasingly compare prompts, tools, policies, and diagnosis algorithms through simulator-grounded verifiers. A verifier can nevertheless make a solver comparison vacuous: if its probes or predicates encode the target identity, an exact optimizer may appear…

Decays of beauty and charm hadrons provide sensitive probes of physics beyond the standard model, including decays with invisible particles, in which part of the final state leaves no reconstructed detector signature.

Intermediate representations are key to bridging the modality gap between generalizable manipulation policies and large-scale pretrained vision-language models (VLMs). Among these, trajectory-based representations compactly represent motion-relevant cues, yet most existing…

Real-world Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning (MORL) often suffers from sparse rewards, reward conflicts, and late-stage reward tug-of-war, causing traditional linear scalarization to experience severe metric oscillations.

Quantum state tomography is a fundamental technique for estimating the state of a quantum system from measured data and plays a crucial role in evaluating the performance of quantum devices.

When an external reference set (an anchor) is used to decompose an LLM-judge panel's error into a quality signal and a shared common-mode error, standard practice assumes the anchor is uncontaminated: its error uncorrelated with the judges' shared error.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is widely used to reduce administrative burden in United States hospitals, yet an estimated 30-50% of RPA initiatives underperform because processes are selected informally, without a repeatable method to catalogue candidates, prioritize them,…

Amari's contributions to information geometry and machine learning are well known. Here, we revisit Amari's work on Bayesian duality which has not received as much attention. We connect Amari's Bayesian duality to a convex duality of Bayes' rule.

The brain uses discrete spikes for dynamic computation, yet, how neural microcircuits (NMCs) solve temporal credit assignment using local spike timing remains a fundamental open question.

Can the classical Heavy-Ball method, with arbitrary horizon-dependent parameters chosen in advance, achieve Nesterov's $O(T^{-2})$ last-iterate rate on every smooth convex objective? We provide a negative answer.

Food waste in the restaurant sector poses a substantial challenge to environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. This paper presents an exploratory machine learning framework for estimating daily restaurant food waste quantities from operational and contextual…

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as backends for intelligent web services, but serving them across the edge continuum requires balancing quality, latency, model footprint, and energy.

AI-generated text detectors achieve high accuracy on standard benchmarks, yet the internal representations that drive these predictions remain poorly understood. We study which neurons in a frozen BERT-base-uncased encoder support AI-text detection, using the RAID benchmark…

Object detection and tracking are fundamental components of perception systems for autonomous driving. Achieving robust performance under adverse conditions such as limited visibility, sensor noise, and failures remains an open challenge, particularly in autonomous racing, where…

Quantization schemes based on randomized rotations have recently received renewed attention, including the roles of MMSE and unbiased reconstruction scalings. In this note, we point out the connection to classical results in statistical signal processing and communication…
