This work studies the problem of selecting, in an online stream, the agent that best balances predictive performance and subgroup fairness of a sensitive attribute, and that allows for delayed observations of true class labels, as a Bayesian multi-armed bandit problem using Thompson Sampling.
Graph-based analysis of electronic health records (EHRs) yields disease-trajectory catalogs, but structural support does not establish semantic novelty. We present a two-level framework to prioritize 99,527 branching motifs previously discovered by an upstream patient-disjoint, train-only MIMIC-IV v3.1 pipeline and fro...
Longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs) can reveal disease-progression structure, while useful forecasting requires leakage-controlled discovery, censor-aware outcomes, and inspectable trajectory evidence. We developed a graph-enhanced framework in MIMIC-IV v3.1 that splits patients before graph construction, lea...
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) trains language models from checked task outcomes, but assigning a terminal reward to individual reasoning tokens or actions remains difficult. Group-relative methods such as Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) sample several attempts per prompt, but lose thei...

An algorithm is developed that learns where to collect information while ensuring that the required samples can be obtained efficiently, and a matching information theoretic lower bound is proved, showing that learning from a single trajectory is no harder in the worst case than learning with unrestricted access to sta...
Decoupled Marginal Sharpening (DMS) is proposed, which separately controls how strongly the model favors particular reasoning paths and how strongly it favors final answers after aggregating support across those paths.
Value-based Q-learning for continuous control can discretise the action space, but the resolution of the discretisation trades early exploration against final precision. Growing Q-Networks (GQN) grow the resolution uniformly from coarse to fine. We introduce Selective Growing Q-Networks (SGQN), which keeps decoupled Q-...
Foundation models have shown strong generalization across scientific domains, but their use in power systems remains largely task-specific. We investigate whether a pretrained tabular foundation model (TFM), TabPFN, can serve as a general-purpose neural solver for power grid steady-state analysis. We evaluate the TFM o...
We study classification dynamics under small initialization and identify a pronounced non-monotone behavior of accuracy that we call the accuracy well: accuracy rises rapidly early in training, subsequently drops, and only much later recovers. We observe this phenomenon in deep linear networks, fully connected ReLU net...
This paper considers reliable in-sequence molecular communication, where bio-nanomachines exchange molecule-encoded information in a specified order, and investigates a new simulation-based method to incrementally evaluate communication protocols by gradually increasing the complexity of experimental settings. The prop...
Tabular foundation models enable in-context learning by predicting unseen observations from a labeled support table without task-specific parameter updates. Despite recent advances, most existing approaches rely on dense architectures that apply the same transformations across features and datasets. We introduce OrionM...
For the fundamental problem of prediction from expert advice, Freund asked whether one could compete with a comparator that switches $k$ times among only $m$ experts. For a discrete set of experts, this problem was resolved by Bousquet and Warmuth (2020), who gave an efficient algorithm with optimal regret matching the...
The new approach, known as FLEX, could lead to more intuitive, interactive household and assistive robots.
By learning how matter moves, the WorldParticle system could assist with developing soft robots, medicines, and more.
A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
