Silhouette Loss: Differentiable Global Structure Learning for Deep Representations

arXiv:2604.08573v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning discriminative representations is a central goal of supervised deep learning. While cross-entropy (CE) remains the dominant objective for classification, it does not explicitly enforce desirable geometric properties in the embedding space, such as intra-class…

Ranked Activation Shift for Post-Hoc Out-of-Distribution Detection

arXiv:2604.08572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: State-of-the-art post-hoc out-of-distribution detection methods rely on intermediate layer activation editing. However, they exhibit inconsistent performance across datasets and models. We show that this instability is driven by differences in the activation distributions, and identify…

Robust Reasoning Benchmark

arXiv:2604.08571v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve high performance on standard mathematical benchmarks, their underlying reasoning processes remain highly overfit to standard textual formatting. We propose a perturbation pipeline consisting of 14 techniques to evaluate robustness…

Automatic Self-supervised Learning for Social Recommendations

arXiv:2412.18735v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In recent years, researchers have leveraged social relations to enhance recommendation performance. However, most existing social recommendation methods require carefully designed auxiliary social tasks tailored to specific scenarios, which depend heavily on domain knowledge and…

Sim-to-Real Transfer for Muscle-Actuated Robots via Generalized Actuator Networks

arXiv:2604.09487v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tendon drives paired with soft muscle actuation enable faster and safer robots while potentially accelerating skill acquisition. Still, these systems are rarely used in practice due to inherent nonlinearities, friction, and hysteresis, which complicate modeling…

Online Quantile Regression for Nonparametric Additive Models

arXiv:2604.08969v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper introduces a projected functional gradient descent algorithm (P-FGD) for training nonparametric additive quantile regression models in online settings. This algorithm extends the functional stochastic gradient descent framework to the pinball loss. An advantage…
