Backward through Time, Algebraically

An evaluation engine that is algebra-generic and amenable to differentiation, together with an executable specification of the algebras it can accept is presented, both forward and backward.

Dynamic Regime-Aware Conformal Calibration for Reliable Economic Forecast Intervals under Multiple Distribution Shifts

The proposed Dynamic Regime-Aware Conformal Prediction (DRACP), which combines density-ratio, localized kernel and probabilistic regime-aware weighting with a self-tuning online significance controller in a unified weighted conformal calibration framework, provides the most reliable calibration.

Certified but Private: Scalable Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Neural Network Guarantees

PANDA is a scalable system that uses zero-knowledge proofs to prove the robustness and fairness properties of a model without revealing its private parameters, and can generate proofs of local robustness for neural networks with more than 2.9M parameters in 5 minutes, and can verify them in 10 seconds.

J-Miner: Recovering Executable Decision Knowledge from Language-Model Classifiers

J-Miner is introduced, which mines text-level named concepts by aggregating vocabulary-aligned internal signals across layers and token positions, and uses the classifier's own predictions to learn executable decision rules over them, and shows that task-specific decision knowledge can be faithfully represented in an explicit, executable form and reused beyond the classifier in which it was learned.

Agents unlock new capabilities through Switching LoRA Adapters as a Tool (SLAaaT)

This work gives an agent a tool to switch between specialized LoRA adapters mid-trace, finding that this allows the model to solve problems it previously could not, and that this incurs an up to an 18x reduction in capability tax compared to an agent using only one specialized adapter.

Position: Fairness Failure in Generative Models is an Evaluation Problem

This position paper argues that fairness failures in generative models, albeit driven by multiple factors, are ultimately stemming from an evaluation problem: fairness findings are rarely comparable across papers or actionable for deployment decisions.

MultiSigBERT: Beyond Survival Analysis through Multimodal and Sequential Modeling in Oncology

This work proposes MultiSigBERT, a unified framework for multimodal sequential survival modeling in oncology based on path signature representations that achieves a concordance index of 0.743 on an independent test set, demonstrating the benefit of jointly modeling multimodal temporal dynamics together with patient-level geometric structure for survival prediction.

RoBell-RVFL: A Robust Generalized Bell Random Vector Functional Link Network

RoBell-RVFL is proposed, a robust and lightweight generalized bell random vector functional link network that redefines how randomized models handle class imbalance and noisy data and achieves adaptive control over sample contributions without sacrificing the closed-form learning efficiency of RVFL networks.

Study-Strategy Clusters from EdNet Logs Track Engagement, Not Mastery

Learning analytics often treats unsupervised clusters of intelligent tutoring system (ITS) logs as learner types that should predict learning. We test that assumption on EdNet-KT3. Clustering study-strategy features (resource use, revision, video, problem practice) for 5{,}000 active learners yields a silhouette-selected parent cut ($k=5$) with 4 contrast poles (reading-focused, video-heavy, revision-heavy, and problem-first) plus a large near-mean residual ($\sim$64.9\%). Reclustering that residual adds four finer styles, giving a bootstrap-stable hierarchy of 8 named strategies. We split each learner's timeline by respond count so clusters use only the early half and outcomes only the late half. Early clusters predict later engagement (continuing to practice and finishing late sessions, especially persistence, $\eta^{2}\approx 0.106$; completion $\eta^{2}\approx 0.021$) but not later unassisted accuracy (correctness on late first-attempts without help; $p_{\mathrm{adj}}\approx 0.093$). Volume rises with some styles, yet volume-only clustering barely matches strategy labels (ARI$=0.064$). A knowledge-tracing model (SAKT) on the seven TOEIC exam sections predicts next correctness only modestly better than a baseline that knows only how hard each section usually is (AUC lift $+0.051$; CI $[+0.045,+0.058]$), and that mastery signal is nearly independent of behavior styles (ARI$=0.007$). Behavioral clustering here describes study styles and engagement, not knowledge gains.

DOW-KE: Anchor-Free Multi-Layer Knowledge Editing via Direct End-to-End Weight Optimization

DOW-KE backpropagates the final editing objective through the complete model, jointly optimizing the updates of all edited layers so cross-layer propagation and coupling enter every gradient step, and achieves the highest overall Score and neighborhood Specificity among the evaluated baselines.

SW-ProxyCE: Zero-Query Adversarial Transfer from Public EEG Encoders to Private Downstream Models

Shrinkage-Whitened Proxy Cross-Entropy (SW-ProxyCE), a query-free task-aware attack framework that recovers task-level decision geometry from a small labeled reference set through shrinkage-whitened class prototypes, enabling transferable adversarial generation without training an additional surrogate classifier is proposed.

EMAN: Optimization-Driven Capacity Growth through Path Emergence in Multi-Task Learning

The Emergent Modular Atomic Network (EMAN), an optimization-driven framework for exposing an antisymmetric growth direction through latent relative phases without instantiating a second path, and for monitoring multiple decision signals during training to transform local optimization evidence into a structural decision is proposed.

Looking beyond natural sequences

A new machine-learning framework aims to improve the success rate of computational protein design while moving away from results that reproduce sequences found in nature.
