Trajectory-Triggered Sparse Collaborative Decoding

Dense assistance methods such as speculative decoding repeatedly verify draft tokens with a target model, keeping target computation coupled to generation. We study sparse collaborative decoding, where a draft model generates most tokens and a target model is invoked only for short corrective segments. The key problem...

A general recipe for data-adaptive anytime-valid envelopes for iterative algorithms

It is shown how these boundaries can be directly coupled with a separate algorithmic analysis that derives the one-step recursion to provide a class of readymade anytime-valid envelopes across diverse settings including stochastic gradient descent (SGD), temporal difference learning, and Bures-Wasserstein SGD.

Beyond Latent Personalization: Integrating HRV-Conditioned Personalization via LLM for Interpretable Stress Detection

Stress detection based on heart rate variability (HRV) has received increasing attention. However, existing personalized approaches integrate personal attributes with HRV through latent representations, limiting the interpretability of their interactions. In this work, we propose an LLM-enhanced personalized stress det...

Causal Discovery beyond Conditional Independence: Identifiability, Algorithms, and Statistical Inference for Directed Acyclic and Cyclic Graphs

Learning causal structure from data requires assumptions about mechanisms, noises, observation schemes, and interventions. Historically, causal discovery has relied primarily on conditional independence. This review focuses on modern causal discovery methods that exploit properties of distributions beyond conditional i...

Interpreting SSL Representations for Spoof Detection: a WavLM Study

Self-supervised speech models such as WavLM achieve strong spoofing detection performance, yet which layers encode the most spoof-relevant information and what acoustic properties they capture remain opaque. We present a layer-wise interpretability study of WavLM using the ASVspoof 5 database, combining three complemen...

Adaptive conformal prediction on the Grassmannian

We introduce a conformal prediction framework for regression with Grassmann-valued responses. The proposed method constructs prediction regions in the form of metric balls directly on the Grassmann manifold, using basis-invariant geometric distances as non-conformity measures and scaling the corresponding non-conformit...

Towards optimal selection schedules for online active learning

We consider the problem of online linear classification, where a stream of unlabeled samples is available, and annotation is costly. We investigate the optimal query policy, that prescribes whether and when a sample should be labeled and used for a training step, or instead discarded, so as to minimize a given objectiv...

QD-Rec: Open-Ended Evolution of Recommendations via Quality-Diversity

Open-ended search combined with foundation models has produced advances such as faster algorithms, new results on open mathematical problems, and self-improving agents. We extend this paradigm to recommendation for decision-making, focusing on decisions where the set of possible choices is fixed but the reasons for cho...

Graphlet-based Decentralized Finance Transaction Method Classification

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) transactions involve complex interactions among accounts, smart contracts, and tokens. We investigate whether network topology can identify transaction methods that describe DeFi operations. We extract directed graphlet features to classify the 30 most frequent methods. Our results show tha...

HydraLLM: Adaptive Width Slicing for Elastic Text and Vision-Language Models

LLMs and LVLMs are increasingly deployed across heterogeneous hardware, ranging from data-center GPUs to resource-constrained edge devices. Their fixed-size architectures limit the ability to reuse a single model across deployment settings with different compute, latency, and model-size targets. We introduce HydraLLM,...

Generative Policy Improvement from Observational Data

We study how to improve decision policies from observational data to generate better actions when actions are complex, structured objects, such as text messages or images. This task is subject to two major challenges: (i) action-level overlap is often too weak for reliable off-policy evaluation and improvement, and (ii...

Sentence-Level Topic Modeling with Lexical and Contextual Evidence

Experiments show that SentenceETM consistently improves sentence-level topic assignment over state-of-the-art approaches, and a case study of a presidential debate shows how sentence-level topics reveal how candidates handle the same subjects.
