On the Objective and Feature Weights of Minkowski Weighted k-Means

arXiv:2603.25958v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Minkowski weighted k-means (mwk-means) algorithm extends classical k-means by incorporating feature weights and a Minkowski distance. Despite its empirical success, its theoretical properties remain insufficiently understood. We show that the mwk-means objective can be…

Nonmyopic Global Optimisation via Approximate Dynamic Programming

arXiv:2412.04882v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Global optimisation to optimise expensive-to-evaluate black-box functions without gradient information. Bayesian optimisation, one of the most well-known techniques, typically employs Gaussian processes as surrogate models, leveraging their probabilistic nature to balance exploration and exploitation. However,…

Machine Learning Transferability for Malware Detection

arXiv:2603.26632v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Malware continues to be a predominant operational risk for organizations, especially when obfuscation techniques are used to evade detection. Despite the ongoing efforts in the development of Machine Learning (ML) detection approaches, there is still…

FedRE: A Representation Entanglement Framework for Model-Heterogeneous Federated Learning

arXiv:2511.22265v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated learning (FL) enables collaborative training across clients while preserving privacy. While most existing FL methods assume homogeneous model architectures, client heterogeneity in both data and resources makes this assumption impractical, thus motivating model-heterogeneous FL.…
