SECURE: Stable Early Collision Understanding via Robust Embeddings in Autonomous Driving

arXiv:2604.01337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While deep learning has significantly advanced accident anticipation, the robustness of these safety-critical systems against real-world perturbations remains a major challenge. We reveal that state-of-the-art models like CRASH, despite their high performance, exhibit significant instability…

Modeling Multi-Objective Tradeoffs with Monotonic Utility Functions

arXiv:2412.06154v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Countless science and engineering applications in multi-objective optimization (MOO) necessitate that decision-makers (DMs) select a Pareto-optimal (PO) solution which aligns with their preferences. Evaluating individual solutions is often expensive, and the high-dimensional trade-off space makes…

Massively Parallel Exact Inference for Hawkes Processes

arXiv:2604.01342v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multivariate Hawkes processes are a widely used class of self-exciting point processes, but maximum likelihood estimation naively scales as $O(N^2)$ in the number of events. The canonical linear exponential Hawkes process admits a faster $O(N)$…

Unveiling m-Sharpness Through the Structure of Stochastic Gradient Noise

arXiv:2509.18001v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sharpness-aware minimization (SAM) has emerged as a highly effective technique to improve model generalization, but its underlying principles are not fully understood. We investigate m-sharpness, where SAM performance improves monotonically as the micro-batch size for…

Rate-Distortion Optimization for Transformer Inference

arXiv:2601.22002v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformers achieve superior performance on many tasks, but impose heavy compute and memory requirements during inference. This inference can be made more efficient by partitioning the process across multiple devices, which, in turn, requires compressing…

Residuals-based Offline Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2604.01378v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) has received increasing attention for learning policies from previously collected data without interaction with the real environment, which is particularly important in high-stakes applications. While a growing body of work has…
