Generating Directed Graphs with Dual Attention and Asymmetric Encoding

arXiv:2506.16404v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Directed graphs naturally model systems with asymmetric, ordered relationships, essential to applications in biology, transportation, social networks, and visual understanding. Generating such graphs enables tasks such as simulation, data augmentation and novel instance discovery; however,…

Entropy After $langle texttt{/Think} rangle$ for reasoning model early exiting

arXiv:2509.26522v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reasoning LLMs show improved performance with longer chains of thought. However, recent work has highlighted their tendency to overthink, continuing to revise answers even after reaching the correct solution. We quantitatively confirm this inefficiency from…

ML-driven detection and reduction of ballast information in multi-modal datasets

arXiv:2602.16876v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern datasets often contain ballast as redundant or low-utility information that increases dimensionality, storage requirements, and computational cost without contributing meaningful analytical value. This study introduces a generalized, multimodal framework for ballast detection and reduction…

Semi-Supervised Preference Optimization with Limited Feedback

arXiv:2511.00040v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The field of preference optimization has made outstanding contributions to the alignment of language models with human preferences. Despite these advancements, recent methods still rely heavily on substantial paired (labeled) feedback data, leading to substantial…

Active Learning for Decision Trees with Provable Guarantees

arXiv:2601.20775v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper advances the theoretical understanding of active learning label complexity for decision trees as binary classifiers. We make two main contributions. First, we provide the first analysis of the disagreement coefficient for decision trees-a…

Diffusion-Guided Pretraining for Brain Graph Foundation Models

arXiv:2602.09437v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: With the growing interest in foundation models for brain signals, graph-based pretraining has emerged as a promising paradigm for learning transferable representations from connectome data. However, existing contrastive and masked autoencoder methods typically rely on…
