On the Adversarial Robustness of Learning-based Conformal Novelty Detection

arXiv:2510.00463v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper studies the adversarial robustness of conformal novelty detection. In particular, we focus on AdaDetect, a powerful learning-based framework for novelty detection with finite-sample false discovery rate (FDR) control. While AdaDetect provides rigorous statistical…

CINDES: Classification induced neural density estimator and simulator

arXiv:2510.00367v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural network-based methods for (un)conditional density estimation have recently gained substantial attention, as various neural density estimators have outperformed classical approaches in real-data experiments. Despite these empirical successes, implementation can be challenging due to the…

Direct Preference Optimization for Adaptive Concept-based Explanations

arXiv:2505.15626v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Concept-based explanation methods aim at making machine learning models more transparent by finding the most important semantic features of an input (e.g., colors, patterns, shapes) for a given prediction task. However, these methods generally ignore…

Minimax and Bayes Optimal Best-Arm Identification

arXiv:2506.24007v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This study investigates minimax and Bayes optimal strategies in fixed-budget best-arm identification. We consider an adaptive procedure consisting of a sampling phase followed by a recommendation phase, and we design an adaptive experiment within this…
