LOTION: Smoothing the Optimization Landscape for Quantized Training

arXiv:2510.08757v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Optimizing neural networks for quantized objectives is fundamentally challenging because the quantizer is piece-wise constant, yielding zero gradients everywhere except at quantization thresholds where the derivative is undefined. Most existing methods deal with this issue…

Spatial Deconfounder: Interference-Aware Deconfounding for Spatial Causal Inference

arXiv:2510.08762v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal inference in spatial domains faces two intertwined challenges: (1) unmeasured spatial factors, such as weather, air pollution, or mobility, that confound treatment and outcome, and (2) interference from nearby treatments that violate standard no-interference…

AdaReasoner: Adaptive Reasoning Enables More Flexible Thinking in Large Language Models

arXiv:2505.17312v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLMs often need effective configurations, like temperature and reasoning steps, to handle tasks requiring sophisticated reasoning and problem-solving, ranging from joke generation to mathematical reasoning. Existing prompting approaches usually adopt general-purpose, fixed configurations that work…

MorphGen: Controllable and Morphologically Plausible Generative Cell-Imaging

arXiv:2510.01298v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Simulating in silico cellular responses to interventions is a promising direction to accelerate high-content image-based assays, critical for advancing drug discovery and gene editing. To support this, we introduce MorphGen, a state-of-the-art diffusion-based generative model…

Robustness in Both Domains: CLIP Needs a Robust Text Encoder

arXiv:2506.03355v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Adversarial input attacks can cause a significant shift of CLIP embeddings. This can affect the downstream robustness of models incorporating CLIP in the pipeline, such as text-to-image generative models or large vision language models. While…

Fair Graph Machine Learning under Adversarial Missingness Processes

arXiv:2311.01591v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art results in many relevant tasks where decisions might disproportionately impact specific communities. However, existing work on fair GNNs often assumes that either sensitive attributes are fully observed or…
