Next-Depth Lookahead Tree

arXiv:2509.15143v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper proposes the Next-Depth Lookahead Tree (NDLT), a single-tree model designed to improve performance by evaluating node splits not only at the node being optimized but also by evaluating the quality of the next…

Explaining deep learning for ECG using time-localized clusters

arXiv:2509.15198v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning has significantly advanced electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis, enabling automatic annotation, disease screening, and prognosis beyond traditional clinical capabilities. However, understanding these models remains a challenge, limiting interpretation and gaining knowledge from these developments. In…

Rate doubly robust estimation for weighted average treatment effects

arXiv:2509.14502v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The weighted average treatment effect (WATE) defines a versatile class of causal estimands for populations characterized by propensity score weights, including the average treatment effect (ATE), treatment effect on the treated (ATT), on controls (ATC),…

Semiparametric Learning from Open-Set Label Shift Data

arXiv:2509.14522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the open-set label shift problem, where the test data may include a novel class absent from training. This setting is challenging because both the class proportions and the distribution of the novel class…

Tight PAC-Bayesian Risk Certificates for Contrastive Learning

arXiv:2412.03486v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Contrastive representation learning is a modern paradigm for learning representations of unlabeled data via augmentations — precisely, contrastive models learn to embed semantically similar pairs of samples (positive pairs) closer than independently drawn samples (negative…

Template-Based Cortical Surface Reconstruction with Minimal Energy Deformation

arXiv:2509.14827v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cortical surface reconstruction (CSR) from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is fundamental to neuroimage analysis, enabling morphological studies of the cerebral cortex and functional brain mapping. Recent advances in learning-based CSR have dramatically accelerated processing, allowing…

Stochastic Adaptive Gradient Descent Without Descent

arXiv:2509.14969v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce a new adaptive step-size strategy for convex optimization with stochastic gradient that exploits the local geometry of the objective function only by means of a first-order stochastic oracle and without any hyper-parameter tuning.…

Robust Reinforcement Learning under Diffusion Models for Data with Jumps

arXiv:2411.11697v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) has proven effective in solving complex decision-making tasks across various domains, but challenges remain in continuous-time settings, particularly when state dynamics are governed by stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with jump components. In…

Preference Isolation Forest for Structure-based Anomaly Detection

arXiv:2505.10876v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We address the problem of detecting anomalies as samples that do not conform to structured patterns represented by low-dimensional manifolds. To this end, we conceive a general anomaly detection framework called Preference Isolation Forest (PIF),…

Probabilistic and nonlinear compressive sensing

arXiv:2509.15060v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a smooth probabilistic reformulation of $ell_0$ regularized regression that does not require Monte Carlo sampling and allows for the computation of exact gradients, facilitating rapid convergence to local optima of the best subset…
