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…

Learning Task Representations from In-Context Learning

arXiv:2502.05390v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable proficiency in in-context learning (ICL), where models adapt to new tasks through example-based prompts without requiring parameter updates. However, understanding how tasks are internally encoded and generalized remains…

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…
