An upper bound of the silhouette validation metric for clustering

arXiv:2509.08625v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The silhouette coefficient quantifies, for each observation, the balance between within-cluster cohesion and between-cluster separation, taking values in [-1, 1]. The average silhouette width (ASW) is a widely used internal measure of clustering quality, with…

Bayesian Network Structural Consensus via Greedy Min-Cut Analysis

arXiv:2504.00467v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper presents the Min-Cut Bayesian Network Consensus (MCBNC) algorithm, a greedy method for structural consensus of Bayesian Networks (BNs), with applications in federated learning and model aggregation. MCBNC prunes weak edges from an initial…

Continual Learning with Synthetic Boundary Experience Blending

arXiv:2507.23534v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual learning (CL) seeks to mitigate catastrophic forgetting when models are trained with sequential tasks. A common approach, experience replay (ER), stores past exemplars but only sparsely approximates the data distribution, yielding fragile and oversimplified…

Trading Vector Data in Vector Databases

arXiv:2511.07139v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vector data trading is essential for cross-domain learning with vector databases, yet it remains largely unexplored. We study this problem under online learning, where sellers face uncertain retrieval costs and buyers provide stochastic feedback to…

Diffusion Posterior Sampling is Computationally Intractable

arXiv:2402.12727v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion models are a remarkably effective way of learning and sampling from a distribution $p(x)$. In posterior sampling, one is also given a measurement model $p(y mid x)$ and a measurement $y$, and would like…
