Fisher-Bingham-like normalizing flows on the sphere

arXiv:2510.04762v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A generic D-dimensional Gaussian can be conditioned or projected onto the D-1 unit sphere, thereby leading to the well-known Fisher-Bingham (FB) or Angular Gaussian (AG) distribution families, respectively. These are some of the most fundamental…

H-DDx: A Hierarchical Evaluation Framework for Differential Diagnosis

arXiv:2510.03700v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An accurate differential diagnosis (DDx) is essential for patient care, shaping therapeutic decisions and influencing outcomes. Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as promising tools to support this process by generating a DDx list…

Bridging the Gap Between Multimodal Foundation Models and World Models

arXiv:2510.03727v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humans understand the world through the integration of multiple sensory modalities, enabling them to perceive, reason about, and imagine dynamic physical processes. Inspired by this capability, multimodal foundation models (MFMs) have emerged as powerful tools…

Data clustering: a fundamental method in data science and management

arXiv:2412.18760v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper explores the critical role of data clustering in data science, emphasizing its methodologies, tools, and diverse applications. Traditional techniques, such as partitional and hierarchical clustering, are analyzed alongside advanced approaches such as data…

OptAgent: Optimizing Query Rewriting for E-commerce via Multi-Agent Simulation

arXiv:2510.03771v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying capable and user-aligned LLM-based systems necessitates reliable evaluation. While LLMs excel in verifiable tasks like coding and mathematics, where gold-standard solutions are available, adoption remains challenging for subjective tasks that lack a single correct…

Counterfactual explainability and analysis of variance

arXiv:2411.01625v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing tools for explaining complex models and systems are associational rather than causal and do not provide mechanistic understanding. We propose a new notion called counterfactual explainability for causal attribution that is motivated by the…
