Robust XGBoosting for Regression

arXiv:2608.13590v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: XGBoost is a very popular and powerful method for prediction. It iteratively fits simple decision trees to the residuals of the previous step. An efficient and scalable implementation is available. The standard loss function for…

Split the Labor: Separating Evidence Interpretation from Decision Aggregation

arXiv:2608.14509v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Systems that ask a language model to reach a conclusion from many sources usually concatenate them into one prompt. This conflates two operations with different requirements. Interpreting a source rewards capacity and context. Combining interpretations…

Capacity-Dependent Effects of Data Selection for Reasoning

arXiv:2608.13721v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In reasoning supervised fine-tuning, candidate responses for the same instruction can differ substantially in how well they match the student’s current distribution. Recent likelihood-based response selection methods suggest that responses closer to the student distribution…
