CONSIGN: Conformal Segmentation Informed by Spatial Groupings via Decomposition

arXiv:2505.14113v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Most machine learning-based image segmentation models produce pixel-wise confidence scores that represent the model’s predicted probability for each class label at every pixel. While this information can be particularly valuable in high-stakes domains such as…

Robustness of Refugee-Matching Gains to Off-Policy Evaluation Choices

arXiv:2605.06686v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Previous research has investigated the potential of refugee matching for boosting refugee outcomes, first considered by Bansak et al. (2018). This paper demonstrates the stability of counterfactual impact evaluation results in the context of refugee…

Attention Transfer Is Not Universally Effective for Vision Transformers

arXiv:2605.07191v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A recent work shows that Attention Transfer, which transfers only the attention patterns from a pre-trained teacher Vision Transformer (ViT) to a randomly initialized standard student ViT, is sufficient to recover the full benefit of…

Enabling Unsupervised Training of Deep EEG Denoisers With Intelligent Partitioning

arXiv:2605.06724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Denoising wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) is inherently challenging since neural activity is not only subtle but also inseparable from spectrally overlapping noise artifacts. Classical signal processing methods, relying on fixed or heuristic rules, cannot handle the…

MAVEN: Multi-Agent Verification-Elaboration Network with In-Step Epistemic Auditing

arXiv:2605.07646v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While explicit reasoning trajectories enhance model interpretability, existing paradigms often rely on monolithic chains that lack intermediate verification, allowing early errors to cascade unchecked. This lack of modularity impedes granular auditing and compromises the epistemic…

Fast Byte Latent Transformer

arXiv:2605.08044v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent byte-level language models (LMs) match the performance of token-level models without relying on subword vocabularies, yet their utility is limited by slow, byte-by-byte autoregressive generation. We address this bottleneck in the Byte Latent Transformer…
