On the (In)Significance of Feature Selection in High-Dimensional Datasets

arXiv:2508.03593v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Feature selection (FS) is assumed to improve predictive performance and identify meaningful features in high-dimensional datasets. Surprisingly, small random subsets of features (0.02-1%) match or outperform the predictive performance of both full feature sets and…

Cross-Attention Speculative Decoding

arXiv:2505.24544v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Speculative decoding (SD) is a widely adopted approach for accelerating inference in large language models (LLMs), particularly when the draft and target models are well aligned. However, state-of-the-art SD methods typically rely on tightly coupled,…

Two Is Better Than One: Aligned Representation Pairs for Anomaly Detection

arXiv:2405.18848v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Anomaly detection focuses on identifying samples that deviate from the norm. Discovering informative representations of normal samples is crucial to detecting anomalies effectively. Recent self-supervised methods have successfully learned such representations by employing prior knowledge…

A Layered Multi-Expert Framework for Long-Context Mental Health Assessments

arXiv:2501.13951v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long-form mental health assessments pose unique challenges for large language models (LLMs), which often exhibit hallucinations or inconsistent reasoning when handling extended, domain-specific contexts. We introduce Stacked Multi-Model Reasoning (SMMR), a layered framework that leverages…

Stress Testing Deliberative Alignment for Anti-Scheming Training

arXiv:2509.15541v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Highly capable AI systems could secretly pursue misaligned goals — what we call “scheming”. Because a scheming AI would deliberately try to hide its misaligned goals and actions, measuring and mitigating scheming requires different strategies…

DebFlow: Automating Agent Creation via Agent Debate

arXiv:2503.23781v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong potential and impressive performance in automating the generation and optimization of workflows. However, existing approaches are marked by limited reasoning capabilities, high computational demands, and significant resource requirements.…

FragmentRetro: A Quadratic Retrosynthetic Method Based on Fragmentation Algorithms

arXiv:2509.15409v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrosynthesis, the process of deconstructing a target molecule into simpler precursors, is crucial for computer-aided synthesis planning (CASP). Widely adopted tree-search methods often suffer from exponential computational complexity. In this work, we introduce FragmentRetro, a…
