AICO: Feature Significance Tests for Supervised Learning

arXiv:2506.23396v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The opacity of many supervised learning algorithms remains a key challenge, hindering scientific discovery and limiting broader deployment — particularly in high-stakes domains. This paper develops model- and distribution-agnostic significance tests to assess the influence…

Near-Optimal Sample Complexity Bounds for Constrained Average-Reward MDPs

arXiv:2509.16586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances have significantly improved our understanding of the sample complexity of learning in average-reward Markov decision processes (AMDPs) under the generative model. However, much less is known about the constrained average-reward MDP (CAMDP), where…

Multi-scale clustering and source separation of InSight mission seismic data

arXiv:2305.16189v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Unsupervised source separation involves unraveling an unknown set of source signals recorded through a mixing operator, with limited prior knowledge about the sources, and only access to a dataset of signal mixtures. This problem is…

Gradient Interference-Aware Graph Coloring for Multitask Learning

arXiv:2509.16959v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When different objectives conflict with each other in multi-task learning, gradients begin to interfere and slow convergence, thereby reducing the final model’s performance. To address this, we introduce a scheduler that computes gradient interference, constructs…

Enhancing Performance and Calibration in Quantile Hyperparameter Optimization

arXiv:2509.17051v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bayesian hyperparameter optimization relies heavily on Gaussian Process (GP) surrogates, due to robust distributional posteriors and strong performance on limited training samples. GPs however underperform in categorical hyperparameter environments or when assumptions of normality, heteroskedasticity…

Data-efficient Kernel Methods for Learning Hamiltonian Systems

arXiv:2509.17154v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hamiltonian dynamics describe a wide range of physical systems. As such, data-driven simulations of Hamiltonian systems are important for many scientific and engineering problems. In this work, we propose kernel-based methods for identifying and forecasting…

Unsupervised Structural-Counterfactual Generation under Domain Shift

arXiv:2502.12013v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Motivated by the burgeoning interest in cross-domain learning, we present a novel generative modeling challenge: generating counterfactual samples in a target domain based on factual observations from a source domain. Our approach operates within an…
