Bayesian Concept Bottleneck Models with LLM Priors

arXiv:2410.15555v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) have been proposed as a compromise between white-box and black-box models, aiming to achieve interpretability without sacrificing accuracy. The standard training procedure for CBMs is to predefine a candidate set of…

Probabilistic Conformal Coverage Guarantees in Small-Data Settings

arXiv:2509.15349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conformal prediction provides distribution-free prediction sets with guaranteed marginal coverage. However, in split conformal prediction this guarantee is training-conditional only in expectation: across many calibration draws, the average coverage equals the nominal level, but the…

Predicting Language Models’ Success at Zero-Shot Probabilistic Prediction

arXiv:2509.15356v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent work has investigated the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) as zero-shot models for generating individual-level characteristics (e.g., to serve as risk models or augment survey datasets). However, when should a user have confidence…

Stochastic Sample Approximations of (Local) Moduli of Continuity

arXiv:2509.15368v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modulus of local continuity is used to evaluate the robustness of neural networks and fairness of their repeated uses in closed-loop models. Here, we revisit a connection between generalized derivatives and moduli of local continuity,…

Adversarial generalization of unfolding (model-based) networks

arXiv:2509.15370v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unfolding networks are interpretable networks emerging from iterative algorithms, incorporate prior knowledge of data structure, and are designed to solve inverse problems like compressed sensing, which deals with recovering data from noisy, missing observations. Compressed…

Permutation recovery of spikes in noisy high-dimensional tensor estimation

arXiv:2412.14650v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the dynamics of gradient flow in high dimensions for the multi-spiked tensor problem, where the goal is to estimate $r$ unknown signal vectors (spikes) from noisy Gaussian tensor observations. Specifically, we analyze the…
