Explainable Diabetic Retinopathy Classification Using Vision Foundation Models

Investigating an explainable DR classification framework using vision foundation models and multiple transfer learning strategies demonstrates that foundation models, particularly DINOv2, can provide strong predictive performance, while LoRA offers a parameter-efficient alternative to full fine-tuning.

EXPOSE: Explainable and Domain-Robust Embeddings from Pathology Vision Foundation Models using Sparse Autoencoders

This work proposes Explainable Probing of Cross-Domain Sparse Embeddings (EXPOSE), a framework that uses Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) as an explainable bottleneck to identify and suppress domain-specific components in VFM embeddings.

Emergent aggregation from collective foraging

This work lets reinforcement learning foragers, initially performing a random walk, optimize their dynamics from a purely individual reward for finding replenishable targets, while perceiving only their conspecifics and never the targets themselves.

Anchored Scenario Coverage for Failure-Aware First-Hit Batch Inverse Design

Early discovery of at least one valid design satisfying a target requirement is a central objective in failure-prone closed-loop inverse design. A natural batch baseline ranks candidates by a product-form marginal valid-hit score, but selecting the highest-ranked candidates independently can produce redundant recommendations under predictive uncertainty and waste the experiment budget. We introduce ARC-SC(Anchored Risk-Constrained Scenario Coverage), a batch acquisition method that preserves strong marginal candidates as anchors and allocates the remaining batch positions by maximizing complementary coverage over predictive target scenarios under a risk-support constraint. In frozen-oracle closed-loop simulations on superconductivity and JARVIS materials-property benchmarks, ARC-SC yields a statistically supported improvement in first-hit discovery and remains competitive with directionally favorable first-hit performance on more challenging design space. These results establish ARC-SC as a POF-anchored, scenario-aware batch strategy for improving early valid-target discovery under structured experimental failure.

Personalized and Multi-View Representation for Federated Cold-Start Recommendation

PMFRec learns a personalized representation generator to produce user-specific item representations from attribute features, and introduces a global multi-view encoder with item-adaptive gating and an orthogonality objective to capture complementary semantic views while reducing cross-view redundancy.

Beyond Procrustes distances: a multilinear Gromov-Wasserstein distance capturing chirality

Efficiently and robustly analyzing shape data is critical across many scientific disciplines. While chirality is a fundamental property in numerous applications - most notably in molecular science - existing shape analysis metrics fail to distinguish between a shape and its mirror image. To address this gap, we introduce a multilinear generalization of the Gromov-Wasserstein objective. Under mild assumptions, this objective yields a distance between shapes, represented as probability distributions quotiented by a symmetry group $G$. In particular, for $G = SO(d)$, we introduce the Chiral Gromov-Wasserstein ($\mathrm{CGW}$) distance, sensitive to chirality. We establish robustness properties for the multilinear Gromov-Wasserstein distances and develop efficient algorithms to compute them, reformulating the underlying optimization problem by projecting couplings onto a low-dimensional space. We derive algorithms for both local and approximate global solutions, yielding a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme for these problems. We validate the framework through numerical experiments that demonstrate the effectiveness of $\mathrm{CGW}$ as a shape metric for chiral objects.

On the Computational and Statistical Efficiency of the Empirical Maximum Entropy on the Mean Method

It is shown that the MEM dual problem admits a reformulation as an expected risk minimization problem, thereby placing MEM within the modern framework of stochastic optimization and enabling scalable stochastic gradient algorithms for large-scale inverse problems.
