Honesty in Causal Forests: When It Helps and When It Hurts

arXiv:2506.13107v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Causal forests estimate how treatment effects vary across individuals, guiding personalized interventions in areas like marketing, operations, and public policy. A standard modeling practice with this method is honest estimation: dividing the data into two…

Transport Clustering: Solving Low-Rank Optimal Transport via Clustering

arXiv:2603.03578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimal transport (OT) finds a least cost transport plan between two probability distributions using a cost matrix defined on pairs of points. Unlike standard OT, which infers unstructured pointwise mappings, low-rank optimal transport explicitly constrains…

SafeDPO: A Simple Approach to Direct Preference Optimization with Enhanced Safety

arXiv:2505.20065v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in real-world applications, balancing helpfulness and safety has become a central challenge. A natural approach is to incorporate safety constraints into Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF),…

Semi-Supervised Generative Learning via Latent Space Distribution Matching

arXiv:2603.04223v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Latent Space Distribution Matching (LSDM), a novel framework for semi-supervised generative modeling of conditional distributions. LSDM operates in two stages: (i) learning a low-dimensional latent space from both paired and unpaired data, and…

List Sample Compression and Uniform Convergence

arXiv:2403.10889v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: List learning is a variant of supervised classification where the learner outputs multiple plausible labels for each instance rather than just one. We investigate classical principles related to generalization within the context of list learning.…
