Are Time Series Foundation Models Susceptible to Catastrophic Forgetting?

arXiv:2510.00809v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) have shown promising zero-shot generalization across diverse forecasting tasks. However, their robustness to continual adaptation remains underexplored. In this work, we investigate the extent to which TSFMs suffer from catastrophic…

To Augment or Not to Augment? Diagnosing Distributional Symmetry Breaking

arXiv:2510.01349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Symmetry-aware methods for machine learning, such as data augmentation and equivariant architectures, encourage correct model behavior on all transformations (e.g. rotations or permutations) of the original dataset. These methods can improve generalization and sample efficiency,…

Neurosymbolic Association Rule Mining from Tabular Data

arXiv:2504.19354v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Association Rule Mining (ARM) is the task of mining patterns among data features in the form of logical rules, with applications across a myriad of domains. However, high-dimensional datasets often result in an excessive number…

Selective Underfitting in Diffusion Models

arXiv:2510.01378v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models have emerged as the principal paradigm for generative modeling across various domains. During training, they learn the score function, which in turn is used to generate samples at inference. They raise a basic…

WWAggr: A Window Wasserstein-based Aggregation for Ensemble Change Point Detection

arXiv:2506.08066v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Change Point Detection (CPD) aims to identify moments of abrupt distribution shifts in data streams. Real-world high-dimensional CPD remains challenging due to data pattern complexity and violation of common assumptions. Resorting to standalone deep neural…

Fine-Tuning Masked Diffusion for Provable Self-Correction

arXiv:2510.01384v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A natural desideratum for generative models is self-correction–detecting and revising low-quality tokens at inference. While Masked Diffusion Models (MDMs) have emerged as a promising approach for generative modeling in discrete spaces, their capacity for self-correction…

Optimal Stopping vs Best-of-$N$ for Inference Time Optimization

arXiv:2510.01394v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) generation often requires balancing output quality against inference cost, especially when using multiple generations. We introduce a new framework for inference-time optimization based on the classical Pandora’s Box problem. Viewing each…

Scalable Asynchronous Federated Modeling for Spatial Data

arXiv:2510.01771v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatial data are central to applications such as environmental monitoring and urban planning, but are often distributed across devices where privacy and communication constraints limit direct sharing. Federated modeling offers a practical solution that preserves…
