Who Pays for Fairness? Rethinking Recourse under Social Burden

arXiv:2509.04128v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Machine learning based predictions are increasingly used in sensitive decision-making applications that directly affect our lives. This has led to extensive research into ensuring the fairness of classifiers. Beyond just fair classification, emerging legislation now…

LLM Unlearning via Neural Activation Redirection

arXiv:2502.07218v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The ability to selectively remove knowledge from LLMs is highly desirable. However, existing methods often struggle with balancing unlearning efficacy and retain model utility, and lack controllability at inference time to emulate base model behavior…

Quantifying Data Contamination in Psychometric Evaluations of LLMs

arXiv:2510.07175v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent studies apply psychometric questionnaires to Large Language Models (LLMs) to assess high-level psychological constructs such as values, personality, moral foundations, and dark traits. Although prior work has raised concerns about possible data contamination from…

Want to train KANS at scale? Now UKAN!

arXiv:2408.11200v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) have recently emerged as a powerful alternative to traditional multilayer perceptrons. However, their reliance on predefined, bounded grids restricts their ability to approximate functions on unbounded domains. To address this, we present…

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Model Merging for Cross-Lingual Transfer in LLMs

arXiv:2505.18356v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) still struggle across tasks outside of high-resource languages. In this work, we investigate cross-lingual transfer to lower-resource languages where task-specific post-training data is scarce. Building on prior work, we first validate…

Flexible Swarm Learning May Outpace Foundation Models in Essential Tasks

arXiv:2510.06349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation models have rapidly advanced AI, raising the question of whether their decisions will ultimately surpass human strategies in real-world domains. The exponential, and possibly super-exponential, pace of AI development makes such analysis elusive. Nevertheless,…

PIKAN: Physics-Inspired Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks for Explainable UAV Channel Modelling

arXiv:2510.06355v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications demand accurate yet interpretable air-to-ground (A2G) channel models that can adapt to nonstationary propagation environments. While deterministic models offer interpretability and deep learning (DL) models provide accuracy, both approaches suffer…
