Self-Supervised Laplace Approximation for Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification

arXiv:2605.12208v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Approximate Bayesian inference typically revolves around computing the posterior parameter distribution. In practice, however, the main object of interest is often a model’s predictions rather than its parameters. In this work, we propose to bypass…

LoopUS: Recasting Pretrained LLMs into Looped Latent Refinement Models

arXiv:2605.11011v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Looped computation shows promise in improving the reasoning-oriented performance of LLMs by scaling test-time compute. However, existing approaches typically require either training recurrent models from scratch or applying disruptive retrofits, which involve substantial computational costs…

A Semi-Supervised Framework for Speech Confidence Detection using Whisper

arXiv:2605.12387v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic detection of speaker confidence is critical for adaptive computing but remains constrained by limited labelled data and the subjectivity of paralinguistic annotations. This paper proposes a semi-supervised hybrid framework that fuses deep semantic embeddings…

Backbone-Equated Diffusion OOD via Sparse Internal Snapshots

arXiv:2605.11014v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fair comparison between diffusion-based OOD detectors is challenging, as conclusions can vary with backbone choice, corruption parameterization, and test-time budget. We address this issue through a Mutualized Backbone-Equated (MBE) protocol that aligns canonical corruption levels…

Shapley Value Approximation Based on k-Additive Games

arXiv:2502.04763v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Shapley value is the prevalent solution for fair division problems in which a payout is to be divided among multiple agents. By adopting a game-theoretic view, the idea of fair division and the Shapley…

Probabilistic Modeling of Latent Agentic Substructures in Deep Neural Networks

arXiv:2509.06701v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We develop a theory of intelligent agency grounded in probabilistic modeling for neural models. Agents are represented as outcome distributions with epistemic utility given by log score, and compositions are defined through weighted logarithmic pooling…

TextSeal: A Localized LLM Watermark for Provenance & Distillation Protection

arXiv:2605.12456v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce TextSeal, a state-of-the-art watermark for large language models. Building on Gumbel-max sampling, TextSeal introduces dual-key generation to restore output diversity, along with entropy-weighted scoring and multi-region localization for improved detection. It supports serving…
